Dr. Strange #4 cover art

Thumbnails, layout, pencils, inks, final color sans logo, mock-up with original logo placement and final cover with trade dress, etc. Looks like Doc and the other magicians are toasting the New Year so a slightly belated Happy 2016 to all of you! Hope it's a good one!

Batgirl #35 Halloween Variant Cover

You know... I really do love Mark Chiarello... and not just because he thinks of me when a cover like this comes up. He knew this was something I'd have a lot of fun drawing. He's the best.

Anyway, two preliminary sketches, then pencils, inks and final color:

Cover art for All-New X-Men #19

I think this one went on sale yesterday. Colors and seps are by the supremely talented Mr. Chris Sotomayor.
























By the way, I don't have the slightest idea where that little feather in the lower left corner came from.

Hellboy page 9, layout, pencils and inks

The second panel on this page inspired the cover drawing. We worked "Marvel style". Mike wrote a plot, I did layouts, then pencils. Working from scans of the pencils, Mike wrote the final script and did balloon placements. Finally, I lettered the pages (right on the boards... with a dip pen!) and did the inks.

Hellboy cover: thumbnail sketch to inks

For me, the challenge on this cover was coming up with an interesting image that didn't spoil any of the surprises in the story. I'll try to post some images from the interior pages later.

Batman on a ledge

I can't find a date on this one but I think it's at least a couple of years old. I also couldn't find a pencil scan but I drew a tight, inked prelim so I hope that'll suffice.

New Mutants #51 page 9

Thanks once again to Simon Miller for the scan of the original art. My favorite part of this page is Storm, sitting calmly and comfortably on the flying chunk of scrap metal.

Preliminary sketches for Legion of Superheroes painting

Big group shots like this aren't easy to compose. Here are some of the prelims, more or less in the order they were drawn. The final pencils and painting can be seen here.
