Batgirl grayscale painting

The final version is 16 x 20", ink and gouache on gray board:

Monsters and a Dame

This is a specialty piece for the Emerald City Comicon, which we'll be attending March 30 thru April 1. 14 x 17", pen, brush and ink on Bristol.

Robert Mitchum

Karloff/Frankenstein

Hey, Halloween is only a few days away... time to do some monster sketches!

Black Widow redux

A while back I was asked to do an updated version of a Marvel Fanfare piece from the '80's. The commissioner asked for the classic costume and hair. I was able to fix some of the things that bothered me in the original, like the spider and the pose. I also tweaked the lighting a bit. As with most pieces, I started with a sketch...

Batman, Batgirl and Robin

Step by step, from layout to final inks:

Hellboy and a cow: inks

I thought about adding a saddle but that just seemed wrong somehow.

Pencils on Bristol, 14 x 17":

Jack B. Quick inks

Sorry the posting has been so light lately. I'm still hoping to pick up the pace soon but I honestly thought this blog would have completely run out of steam two years ago so I'm not complaining.

In the mean time, here's the inked version of the pencilled piece I posted earlier.

Another Jack B. Quick sketch

Batman pin-up: Inks over David Finch pencils

This one was inked over a blueline copy of the pencils:

Batgirl pin-up

Preliminary pencils, marker sketch, pencils and inks:

Happy Birthday, Robert Mitchum!

I know, Lucy's 100 today, but Mitchum is cooler.

Another Hulk sketch

Continuing with our green theme: I think this one is at least 7 years old. Maybe more...

It's not easy being green...

Ink and gouache. If you thought the Hellboy story was peculiar, wait till you read this one...

Captain Marvel

As with the Warlock head sketch, I tried to get a little bit of a Gil Kane vibe in the drawing, but it didn't really come through.

Happy Birthday, Joe E. Brown!

"Nobody's perfect!"

Dr. Strange pin-up, pencils and inks

17 x 14"...

Loki

I ran out of room for the horns.

Adam Warlock

I tried (and failed) to make this look a little more like a Gil Kane drawing. I really liked that series from the early '70's.
