New sketch + OHOTMU update

Back from a REALLY cool trip on a bunch of Greek Islands, and all I could think of was stuff I was going to ink and/or color when back home, how Id have completed some layouts I had left unfinished, stuff like that...

anyway, this is smthing Ive had in b/w for a while. Just colored it today. Oh, the 70s... The Gil Kanes, the John Romitas, the Gene Colans, the Mike Ploogs... they dont make comics quite like they used to, do they?

On other news, the second piece I contributed for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe REDUX project is finally online, and I have to say I remembered it a bit worse... I finished my female ratio contributions, so for the other 3 entries that Im working on expect more testosterone.

See ya here more often, I hope.

Nova vs Titania!

Apparently I went to sleep with the ramblings of my last post still in my mind, coz first thing this morning I felt liek drawing Nova, the classic Buscema version. Fighting a minor, semi-obscure villain(ess) for additional 70sness.

Man, I NEED that Marvel Essential...

Secret Defenders

I have this idea for a Marvel series, Id have the newly-outfitted Doc Strange re-form the Defenders, gathering minor, b-series superheroes for an underground battle against Lovecraftian entities that are secretly preparing their return on Earth. Characters like Hellcat, the classic Nova, a pulp-inspired Ulysses Bloodstone, Thundra and Daimon Hellstrom. Would be cool.

These are just absolutely RANDOM characters I drew while thinking about that idea. Dont know why Black Knight is there though.

That is all.

Goodnight.

I like my Dark Knight with short ears and big eyes.

Back to sketching, et al.

Been on the beach for a couple of days, hence the radio silence. And friday the proper holiday begins, so I wont be posting stuff until at least the first week of September.

Benn working on some more random sketching, just not to lose the habit, and thumbnailing TWO separate projects, so its not like Ive been slacking off anyway...

anyway, last installment:

More to come, probably sooner than you think.

OHOTMU - Madame Masque

My second entry for the OHOTMU project, organized by the AMAZING Jon Morris with a plethora of other equally astonishing artists.

This one's a bit less obscure than the previous one I chose:

This is the brush on bristol version. The colored one should be up on the OHOTMU website soon hopefully...

Black Widow.

My own way of overcomplicating her costume.

Pencils, inks and some Photoshoppin'.

I MISSED this guy...

Pencils, inks et le Photoshop.

"The horror of room 666"...

I quite like desaturating.
