Poison Ivy

Did a portrait and converted it into some fan art... a tribute Batman cover. This was a hoot.

The Unkissable Frog comic header parody

playing around on a Sunday. Just for fun.  It may become something more finished but I like the header parody.  Thanks for stopping by.

Doodle United: The Amphibians

Having seen several "artistic adaptations" of classic comic book covers... this topic really lent itself to such a treatment...

Freely and openly building an homage to the great John Buscema, whom I could only hope to clean his brushes... I took The Avengers 57 cover and adapted it into :  The Amphibians.

Doodle United- Comic Book Hero Name Generator

Doodle United topic:  Superhero name generator.  There is a site that provides fun superhero names. http://fantasynamegenerators.com/hero_names.php#.U0tUm8ejP4g  The assignment was to pick a name from the list and design your own superhero. With my childhood love of comics, I had to try to build a golden age (1940's) style comic cover with all the fun that they provided. I looked to the old Fawcett, Charleston, and early DC comics for inspiration.

Zabu and Red Wing

Zabu and Red Wing from the Pet Avengers.

Frog of Thunder: variant color

so I started futzing with the color of the background... the frog pops a bit more, but I think I still like the first.... maybe.

Frog of Thunder: final color

it's done.

Frog Thor- Pet Avenger

So I just couldn't get the idea of the Frog of Thunder out of my head... so I stayed up way too late and worked this black and white version up. Coloring it will come this weekend, but I think he's cute as cute can be... with his mighty hammer 'meowmeow'.

lockjaw finished

Lockjaw- finished.

It was a fun piece to work up. Now the question is, do I finish the series as a Pet Avengers series, or an Inhumans series. hmmmmmm.... decisions, decisions.

lockjaw wip

Starting a series of scratchboard comic book portraits. Characters that I think are visually interesting, or characteristically appealing. First one on the board... Lockjaw from the Inhumans.
