Here comes the boom!

Finally an update! I have taken a day off and decided to draw something thats been in my head for the last couple of days. Its Zoe Thunder laying down the smackdown on a couple of villains from Force Inc. The villains featured are (going clockwise) El Gigante, Ace of Spades, Diamond Jack, Hotstreak, and the bulky armored guy is ShellShock. Enjoy!

Another Nova

I have been swamped with work for awhile now and I have not even been able to draw anything. So today after concluding some projects I took some time out and did some quick sketches. Here is one of those sketches colored in photoshop. Just a fast piece to loosen the fingers. I am not totally happy with my look for Nova... I still gotta find my style with the character. I'll keep trying.

Superman- Man of style entry

So here is my Superman - Man of Style entry over at Project:Rooftop. Now I was just supposed to change the costume but then I went and changed him altogether. I went with the "Man of Tomorrow" tagline that Supes has got and made him more of an old pulp sci-fi hero. Landing on our planet as an infant the boy who would be called Clark Kent would grow up to understand he was different from the other kids... he was faster, stronger, smarter, and was able to move objects with his mind. Building a suit from the remains of his kryptonian ship,that was powered by solar energy (it was powered by his mind but one of the judges said the bubbles coming out of his chest and hands looked like solar energy and you know what, that just sounds better) he became Superman. Oh and if you notice Clark looks really skinny as a reporter 'cause he was supposed to be that way so when he became Superman it was an actual transformation, kinda like the hulk putting on pounds when he changes. His mind would augment his body adding muscle mass and enhancing his strength and speed. So I dont think I'm gonna win this one cause its just too removed from the actual Supes but I really had a fun time coming up with this one. A lot of fun.

The winner will be announced on Monday at Pulpsecret.com. So we'll see if we get lucky.

I posted some pages from Nova and Guardians... enjoy

The Man Called NOVA!!

Ok so here is my take on one of my favorite superheroes Nova! I am loving his new book and since I just don't seem to want to sleep like a normal person here is a quick sketch and the finished product.

Some more quickies for the rest of the insomniacs out there.

I dont know what it is lately but the night is really my days. So I was watching the office and one of my favorite is when Jim comes in dressed as Dwight. So to start off this update here is the sketch I did. Not sure how I feel about it. Needed to make the neck way thinner...

Next up is a Bruce Timm'ish' Valkyrie from the Defenders one of my favorite ladies from one of my favorite groups

And finally everyone's favorite angerball The Incredible Hulk.

As always thanks for looking.

Just a quickie...

Can't fall asleep tonight so I decided I would do a drawing of one of my favorite DC characters Captain Atom. He was done in Adobe Illustrator.

Silver Age, how I miss thee..

So I have been in a little bit of a Silver Age mood lately. I just love how some of those characters were so campy and just over the top, and I wanted to see if I could come up with a couple that had that kind of feel to them. Hope I succeeded.

First up is former NASA pilot The Astro-Nut! Once a respected Astronaut who was manning an experimental one man shuttle when an accident sent him deep into space presumed lost forever. He returned some years later empowered with vast cosmic powers and driven insane by the years of wandering the blackness of space. He might act silly but he is very capable of taking some of the most powerful superhero groups.

Next is the princess of a vast intergalactic empire named by reporters when she arrived on earth in the fifties as Venus D'milo. She has tried on several occasions to marry or enslave the man called Captain Neutron and armed with her other-wordly charms and armor she has brought many men to their knees over the years.

Why is it that every time we experiment on monkeys they become homicidal maniacs? Well, Powder Monkey would tell you but he would much rather throw one of his hand bombs to make his point. I got big plans for this little fella.

Last is Jackie Frost, former supermodel who wanted to stay young so bad she spent millions to make her immortal. But the experiments had side effects and now she cant go out in weather above 10 degrees below freezing without wearing her specialized suit.

Thanks for looking

The Widow

Here is the leader of The Web, the terrorist group I posted last week, The Widow. I tried a lot of different color schemes for her greens, reds, purples, ect... but a friend suggested trying her in just black, grey and white and I think it works pretty well. Critiques are welcomed.

The Widow is an immortal who was born in Atlantis when it was still a continent in the Atlantic ocean. She began as a common girl who caught the eye of one of the royal family and within months was married to the king himself. She started an uprising when she assumed control over Atlantis after killing her husband. She destroyed Atlantis and herself when she activated a doomsday device. But she didn't die, she was resurrected. Again and again she was reborn and each time she would try to assume control over what she thought was hers. Ahhotep I- founder of the eighteenth dynasty in Egypt, Fu Hao military general and high priestess of the Shang Dynasty, Sarmatian queen Amage during the 4th century B.C., Julia Domna empress and wife of Roman Emperor Lucius Septimius Severus and Morgan Le Fey half-sister of King Arthur are just a few of the names she has had through the millennia.

Now just as in Atlantis she was reborn as a peasant girl who caught the eye of the warlord in China named The Dragon Lord. After some years as one of his many wives she was able to kill him (as well as his other wives) and take control of his empire as The Widow.

The World Wide Web

Originally the Circle of the Dragon created by The Dragon Lord in the early 1920's, the group had been recently taken over and changed by his 137th wife, now called The Widow, when she killed him. Now called The Web, it boasts some of the most technologically advanced systems and soldiers the world has ever seen. The groups only goal is world domination through fear and intimidation and they have made it clear they will not stop until their goals are met. The Widow herself has not been seen in public but her soldiers and operatives are shown below.

The first of the Widow's soldiers is her best and most feared warrior, Wolf Spider. Her second in command, he is always by her side and is only sent out on the missions of the most importance. He commands the Huntsmen the main infantry of the terrorist group.

The Huntsmen are the infantry of The Web. Armed with Kinetic Blasters and the most sophisticated body armor and gear, they are a force feared throughout the world.

The general of the air infantry is Dragonfly. Once a respected pilot who was crippled during a crash, he was brought to The Widow and genetically altered, and given a suit so he can fly at speeds exceeding mach 3. With his ability to generate heat blasts that can melt steel like butter he is by far the most feared flyer in the skies.

The Fireflies are the air-force of The Web. Armed with Heat Blasters and housed in a suit capable of high altitude maneuvers and super sonic speeds, the Fireflies can handle most fighter jets in the air.

Last is The Widow's spy/assassin, Spiderwasp.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER (Iron Man upgrade update)

Well, thanks to Dean Trippe one of the judges of Project: Rooftop, I found out that they never got my entry to their Iron Man upgrade contest.

Atlantis rising

Just some sketches of my villains from Atlantis cause as everybody knows... you gotta have Atlantian villains or nobody will take you seriously. Im trying to go in a different direction than just some humanoids with blue skin or looking like Abe Sapien from Hellboy. The idea is that Atlantians are a very diverse race with some looking like jellyfish, reptiles, and fish. And when they are not in their city they move about in exoskeleton suits designed for their particular class sect. Still in the eraly stages so...

More villains than you can shake a stick at

Last week a posted a sketch of a character of mine called Dragokin, here is the finished product.

He belongs to a group of superhumans who work for the highest bidder, Force Inc. Bodyguards, thieves, sabotage, ect... Force Inc. is the group you trust to get the job done!

Dragokin son of a Celestial Dragon gone bad.

Watts the living lightning bolt.

Headcase the madman with vast mental powers.

Shellshock, a mercenary with an armored suite capable of creating earthquakes.

And Sludge, second generation baddie with a specialty for industrial sabotage.

Its a big group so I'm still working on some of them. Thanks for lookin'

Feel a STORM coming?

So I wasn't completely happy with my STORM agents before. The head gear was too "Nighthawk", so I wanted to go with the hooded look I had for them a ways back. Top are the officers, middle is infantry, and the bottom is heavy artillery. More baddies on the way...
