A few decades ago, comic book legend Alex Toth published a comic book adaptation of some movie called “Land Unknown”. It is a very good example of his work.
I managed to pick up a scanned copy from this blog and I was utterly impressed with the color palette, not because of some amazing artistic feat, but simply because it looked old and cool. I love making my drawings look older, but sometimes you need a little more than simply throwing some paper texture on top of it and turning it into Multiply.
So I used the cover of the comic, the page with the most colors, to create a color palette I could use in Photoshop and other Adobe softwares. You can download them right here. There are three versions of it, with 8, 16 and 32 colors. Enjoy and have fun!
