Colossus versus Juggernaut

This illustration was commissioned by Travis Ellisor, a super-nice guy and art collector.

The drawing features the awesome might of Colossus, one of my favorite X-Men, battling the “unstoppable” Juggernaut. In a toe-to-toe fight, Juggernaut would probably get the best of our boy Pete, but he would still give Juggy a run for his money and, under the right circumstances, Pete would clean his clock! And that is just what our brawny X-Man is doing here!

Better luck next time, Marko!

Suicide Squad Cover

The Suicide Squad, featuring Rick Flag, Jr.;  his girlfriend Karin Grace; Dr. Hugh Evans; and Jess Bright, first appeared in “The Brave and the Bold” in the 1959. The Squad, also known as “Task Force X,” often found themselves pitted against giant aliens, monsters, and creatures. When Bill Cox commissioned me to create a Suicide Squad cover illustration, he requested that the team be fighting a giant snake in Paris.

I had a blast drawing the dramatic bird’s eye view of the Eiffel Tower and showing the team using the infamous Hiller Flying Platforms from the 1950s. I’ve always been a fan of drawing giant monsters, so of course I loved drawing the snake coiled around the Tower.

This is one of my favorite commissions to date. And now, thanks to Bill, I’ve become a fan of the original Suicide Squad myself!

Incredible Hulk

I did this black and white illustration of the Incredible Hulk for my good friend Steve Funnell, AKA BrokenHill. Steve is an illustrator who also creates metal sculptures. You can check out his work at http://brokenhill.deviantart.com.

Steve is a big fan of the classic Marvel characters, so I wanted to give his Hulk drawing a look that harkened back to the original Jack Kirby version.  It was a lot of fun to draw ol’ Green Skin tramping through the wilds of New Mexico.

Once I finished the black and white, Steve Downer provided some gorgeous digital colors. See B&W ink and color versions below.

Just a reminder…

Batman Quick Sketch

Here’s a 12 minute quick sketch of the Dark Knight; I drew it a few weeks ago for the Weekly Sketch Group on the PencilJack forums.  It’s been my pleasure to draw BATMAN several times for DC Comics’ Licensing books over the years, and I’ve drawn this character in many different styles, but this is probably how I’d draw the character if I had my druthers. I hope you like it!

Sharing Some Art

Hey, guys!  Yes—it’s time for another update at long last.  Sorry it took so long to do it, but I’ve been pretty busy with things over the last few months.  I will soon be releasing my 2010 Sketchbook, which will feature many full color illustrations this year. I’ve been brushing up on my Photoshop skills as of late, so I thought I’d share a few character drawings with you from the upcoming sketchbook. Hope you enjoy these!
