It's my favorite monochrome style. Plus, it's easier than actually colorizing things in their actual colors. Burwick isn't actually yellow. He's more of a gray. So is Renji Paziko. But Renji has yellow eyes while Burwick has green.
What I do is I go to grayscale then switch back to RGB color. That way, any residual colors left over from the webcam are gone. Then I burn the image to bring out the details. Then I give it four or five coats of various browns. The default swatches are found at the lower-most left-most corner of the swatch window in Photoshop. The ones I use are the first three. First, a coat of the lightest shade. Then, a coat the next darkest one. Then, two or more coats of the darkest one after that. Then I use dodge on the character and/or certain other elements or shapes, leaving the background a nice chocolatey color. The net effect gives it an aged parchment lo0k which I totally dig.

The color of JtHM #3 is what gave me the inspirado. There's also an excellent perspective pic of Johnny buring something in his backyard that had the glowing-eyes-in-the-dark motif.

I THOUGHT that looked so familiar, but I couldn't place it...thank you I'm glad someone else has heard of JtHM! Isn't he just the best? And he's so RIGHT! I only wish I had half the guts to kill all the stupid people in the world...I'm glad he always gets away with it
He isn't exactly a vigilante, though, since some of the people he kills don't really deserve it. And I don't agree with his views on firearms. I'm a gun-nutter.

Aaaa, as far as I can figure, they all deserve it. They all prolly did something at one point to deserve it...and he's just helping make the world a better place! But it's just a bit of fun anyway, huh?
What about that glasses-wearing guy at the beginning of issue #2? Nny even says that he only chose him out of convenience because the wall needed blo0d and there was no time to find anyone else.
