This is my third commission for collector Bill Cox. This piece pits the Squad against the Rhedosaurus from “The Beast From 20000 Fathoms”!

My thanks to Trevor Hogg, who posted a great interview with me at Flickering Myth. Stop by and tell him Loston sent you! http://www.flickeringmyth.com/2012/05/sketchy-details-conversation-with_16.html
When veteran comic book colorist Matt Webb asked me if he could take a crack at coloring my Thing Collage, I was excited. Matt was colorist on John Byrne’s NEXT MEN in the 1990s, and is the regular colorist on the Monsterverse graphic novel series, FLESH AND BLOOD! Matt told me he’d like to do simple colors using the sort of color palette and k-tones that would have been available on the 1960s FANTASTIC FOUR comic covers, so I told him to go for it! I really dig what he came up with! It’s the classic Ben colors from the Lee/Kirby/Sinnott era, and I like how he kept the floating heads simple–like ghostly images from the past! Nice work, Matt!
 Thing Collage with Matt Webb colors Feast your eyes on my Thing Collage image, with the awesome digital hues by my buddy, Steve Downer! It’s always a pleasure to collaborate with Steve on projects because we seem to mesh very well together. Please check out more of Steve’s art and colors on his website: http://downerillustration.com/ Also stop in and check out my art gallery on DeviantART! There are lots of fun images there for your viewing pleasure. http://lostonwallace.deviantart.com/
 Thing collage with colors by Steve Downer Here’s the finished colors on “Zatanna and a Couple of Boobs!” I think the colors turned out well, and I’d especially like to thank Steve Downer for his advice on how to approach the color on the background elements. This piece was a lot of fun, so I hope you enjoy the full color humor.  Zatanna and a Couple of Boobs Final Colors Here’s a commission I did for the awesome Hallopino! This illustration features the mystic Zatanna transforming the Blue Beetle, Booster Gold and Skeets into female versions of themselves! LOL. I thought this was a very fun idea for a commission, and I enjoyed drawing it. Though I’ve recently drawn a Zatanna commission or two, it’s been a few years since I drew Zee in the animated style. The last time I did, it was for an illustration in a DCU kids book about 10 years ago. I love drawing Zatanna in any style! So much fun, that character! My favorite bit on this was Skeets with large boob shapes. You just know that’ll mess with the mechanized aerodynamics… And if you’re interested in art techniques, I created the background texture using ink and a combination of sponge stamping and stippling.  Zatanna, Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, and Skeets A few days ago, I was interviewed on www.khuantru.com/. It is one of the most satisfying interviews I’ve had in some time. Here’s your chance to get to know a little something about yours truly. It is an interview containing several of my illustrations, as well as links to many of my personal favorites that I have done and several of my art tutorials. I hope you’ll read it, and if you enjoy it, please let the website know that you did! http://www.khuantru.com/2012/02/interview-with-loston-wallace/ As always, I appreciate your support! See ya in the funny pages, Loston Re-posting from my DeviantArt site, because I really want to get the word out! I recently colored a kid’s drawing of a fire-breathing dinosaur for the St. Jude Children’s Research Center. The art is being used on products that are being sold to raise money for cancer research for kids, and 100% of the profit is going for the research. I hope you will stop by the Zazzle store and make a purchase or two to support this very worthy cause. Thanks for taking a look at the products! You can show your support here: http://www.zazzle.com/dinosaurart/gifts?cg=196747016982938812&pg=3#products This piece was done for my good friend, Steve Funnell (http://brokenhill.deviantart.com/), who might be the greatest Thing fan of all time! Steve and I are both fans of the classic Kirby-era FANTASTIC FOUR, so it seemed only fitting that I make this drawing a salute to Jack Kirby, Joe Sinnott, Stan Lee and the classic era of Marvel! Ben is rendered in brush inks, while the floating heads are rendered in “B” graphite pencil for contrast. Benjamin Grimm is a character who carries the weight of the world on his shoulders, so I wanted to symbolize this in the image layout. That’s why all the heads on this image float above him and not below in the composition. This piece was an absolute pleasure to draw! I love drawing the Thing, the FF, the Hulk, Galactus, and Doctor Doom, so this was just a blast! I even got to draw Wyatt Wingfoot! Wyatt Wingfoot!!! There’s a first time for everything! Hold on to your hats, Yancy lads–“IT’S CLOBBERIN’ TIME!!” What a revolting development…
