Happy 4th of July!

Here's hoping all Americans at home and abroad had a great 4th of July!

Above is a Cap sketch done a while back!

Again With The Red Skulls!

These are the last of the unfinished Red Skulls cards.

Thor Artist Proof

I really like the new look of Thor -- if something a few years old can be considered new in comics nowadays. I think I'm in the area of what Olivier Coipel is/was doing with Thor's facial structure, but I'd probably need a few more sketches to feel fully comfortable with the head structure and proportions he introduced.

Of course, I wouldn't be doing those drawings on 2.5 x 3.5" pieces of card stock.

Last Iron Man II Sketchcard, March 5

This is the last of the Iron Man II marvel sketch cards. I really enjoyed doing them and posting them like this.

So, starting next Monday (March 8), I'll start posting more sketch cards, but this time it's anything goes as I won't be limited by the rules Marvel needed to put in place.

I expect that I'll be getting a few artist blanks for the Iron man II series in the not too distant. Not too sure that I'll leave 'em open as commissions or just draw all of 'em and see if anyone is interested afterwards. Either way, I'll let those take over the card a day when they arrive.

Iron Man II Card for March 4

I always wondered why he wore a helmet missing its top.

Iron Man II Card for March 3

Wolvie!

Two more cards to go!

Iron Man II Card for March 2

A last Black Widow.

Iron Man II Card for March 1

Beginning the last week of my posting these with a rather mediocre Ms. Marvel. The remaining four get better as they go. I got too sloppy and rushed with the hair and inking as I rushed through the last few to meet the deadline.

I'm thinking I might try to continue something like this next week. Either more sketchcards or maybe postcards to allow for slightly larger drawings.

Iron Man II Card for Feb. 28

As I do these cards I often get to draw characters I've never drawn before -- or even thought of drawing before. Despite his really weird color scheme, The Vision is a character I think I could really enjoy drawing.

It might be the cape. . . .

Iron Man II Card for Feb. 27

Wolverine trying to pull off Eastwood.

Iron Man II Card for Feb. 26

A pretty pissed-off looking Black Widow

Iron Man II Card for Feb. 25

You lookin' at me?

Iron Man II Card for Feb. 24

More GR!

Iron Man II Card for Feb. 23

HULK is not balding!

Iron Man II Card for Feb. 22

Did I ever mention I love drawing Ghost Rider?

Iron Man II Card for Feb. 21

Black Widow. I really shouldn't let myself be so slack when it comes to sketching hair.

Iron Man II Card for Feb. 20

"You're thor? I'm tho thor I can't even thtand."

Really loving Siege, BTW.

Iron Man II Card for Feb. 19

Hulk needs dentist!

Iron Man II Card for Feb. 18

Everytime I draw this guy "Hercules! Hercules!" from The Nutty Professor keeps running through my head.

Iron Man II Card for Feb. 16

Always loved the mythological characters. Thor and Hercules would be a blast to draw on an ongoing basis, not just they're fun characters on their own, but their villians are often just freaky montrous things to draw.
