Kraven The Hunter Lines.

Here is my next Spidey Villain Illo of Kraven the Hunter. He's always been a favorite of mine. I remember an episode of spiderman and his amazing friends way back in the 80's that showcased Kraven. I havn't read Kraven's last hunt, but I want to. Maybe i'll order it for myself off amazon. Anyway, Ihope you guys like this one. I'm looking forward to coloring it.
Hope you are all well.

take it easy.

Rhino Lines

So it was real close this morning when I checked my Deviant Art Poll for which spidey villain the people who pay attention to me on there wanted to see. The top two votes I was getting were for Kraven and Rhino followed by Venom and Hobgoblin. Seems like nobody appreciates the classics like Electro, the Vulture and Sandman anymore. Oh Well, this one was a lot of fun, though he might feel a little wanky. I tried to push the perspective just about as far as I dared to rally emphasize those horns on his head. Colors coming soon.

hope ya like it.

Goblin Colors

Here are two versions of my Green Goblin Illo. Reception of both pieces is pretty much split down the middle on Deviant Art. I'm leaning toward the darker purple. Feels more sinister to me. Hope you guys like them.

Green Goblin

I had so much fun working on that Carnage that I decided to draw some more of my favorite villains from Spidey's Rogues Gallery. I really like Spideys enemies and I like drawing them. He's the only character in my opinion who has a cast of baddies that can compete with Batman, and I think if I were forced to pick the better of the two, today I'd have to say I dig Spidey's more. Anyway, I'm gonna start coloring this now and hopefully I'll have a new color illo by late tonight.

Take Care.

Carnage Commission

This one ended up being a lot of fun. Brian Ballengee whom I met at Megacon Last weekend picked up a sketchbook from me along with his Pal Pablo and apparently they've felt like testing my drawing chops on some of the more obscure characters in the Marvel and DC universes. I know Carnage was on pretty much every cover Marvel put out 10 years ago but after whatever happened to him, he's been relatively left in comic limbo until Brian resurrected him last thursday as his commission. I never had much affinity for the character and for the most part, I really quit liking venom when marvel went Symbiote crazy but this guy was a lot of fun to draw and I'm pretty happy with the results. I did end up making some minor changes from the line art to the final colors. He was a little complicated and convoluted in the initial sketch so I simplified some of the drips and drool. Hope you guys like it. I'm had fun drawing a spidey villain. I think I'll do another one soon.

Agent Orange Commission

So now they have orange lanterns and red lanterns and blue lanterns to go along with the yellow and green lanterns. This guy here is named Agent Orange or Larfleeze to those he's killed. He was a fun draw and big thanks go out to my new pal Pablo that I met at MegaCon this past weekend. Hope you guys like the new art. More stuff coming soon.

Captain Marvel Lines.

Here is another quick Captain Marvel Sketch to help me sharpen up before the Madness that is megacon. I'll be heading down early in the morning. I've always loved Megacon. It was my first comic convention, I've made some great friends there and I have a lot of great memories. If you've never been you really should check it out. It is for the most part very family friendly with lots of great artists and other celebritites walking around and doing work for a modest fee.

If you make it down to the show, stop by the table and check out my wares. I'll have my 2009 Con book for sale as well as prints in 8.5x11and 13x19 for sale and as always I'll be busy plugging away at commissioned sketches.

Hope you enjoy the Captain Marvel. I'll be posting colors asap.

Catcha soon.

Batman & 2010

So I've been away for a while and now I know what its like when your blog says you haven't posted for 3 months. I used to wonder how people could let themselves go like that. Oh well...

So I needed some time away to recharge my batteries and get my head on straight again. 2009 was a great year for me art wise but a lot of other things suffered and I just wasn't feeling like spending time in the studio after the Iron Man cards.

I drew this Batman today because when I can't draw anything else, I can always bust out a batman to shake the cobwebs loose. Hope to have colors before bed time tomorrow.

Thanks for hanging in there with me.
