A random collection of material from comic artist Kevin Nowlan. Started with the best of intentions, but like most other efforts, doomed to perish from neglect as soon as the novelty wears off.

Weird Western cover sketch: 2001
This is another cover that was thrown at me cold. No ideas from the editor, they just wanted something that fit the title. I came up with this sketch but DC said they already had a similar piece from someone else. So that was that...
KEVIN, make it jonah hex on him and i will write an insane story about it. lol...i would make it a side show attraction as the largest octopus in captivity...and have the bad guys throw jonah in the tank, bash the glass and have him wrestle it till its dead. i would just lose the saddle...hahahah
That's a pity looks like it would've been cool.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of something that Geoff Darrow would do with Shaolin Cowboy. Ironically a title you would do a cover for.
ReplyDeleteThat's really nifty Kevin.
ReplyDeleteWould've been cool to see it as Bucking Bronco-type illo too! "Keep yer hat on!"
Love the shadow play on the cowboys face.
Great! i love the idea, in italian the animal is called Polpo!.

Hi Jimmy!
ReplyDeletePerfect! It'll be a lot easier to draw without the saddle.
