SUPERMAN

Here's the finished version of the Superman work-in-progress I posted a couple of weeks ago. I was also going to share some of my thoughts on the DC reboot, the Superman lawsuit, the Man of Steel and some other related topics but I have to run out to get a haircut now. Trust me, though, it would have been very witty and insightful.

INK WASH SKETCHES

A couple of warm-ups done to loosen up before starting some more labor intensive work.

SUPERMAN-W.I.P.

Work-in-progress watercolor of the Man of Steel.

LOGAN

It's been a little while since I posted anything to this blog since I've been spending a lot of time working on my web-comic Woolgathering, so here's a quick color sketch I did recently. It's mostly watercolor with Pitt Pen, pencil and some digital elements added. Thanks for stopping by!

BIZARRO

Goodbye! Here's a quick watercolor sketch of one of my favorite Superman villains.

 VALENTINE'S DAY CARDS

Pitt Pen, watercolor & digital

Hey everyone! I didn't get a chance to post these on Valentine's Day but here are the cards I made for my wife, Erin Gallagher. I'm very lucky to have a wife that finds super-hero Valentine's perfectly acceptable.

SKETCH CARDS

Just a few quick sketch cards of various Marvel characters. There were all done using Pitt Pen and Copic Sketch Markers. Have a great weekend!

 BATMAN RETURNS AGAIN (plus a new look!)
 

Hey everyone! Here's some more Batman art; a new painting along with some sample pages I've been sending around recently. Yep, that's right, more Batman. I'm going to switch it up after this post, I swear.

If you look closely at the pages, you might recognize the convenience store worker and the robbers: their designs are all modeled after "The Simpsons" characters Apu, Snake and the Babysitter Bandit  and the interior of the store is modeled after the Kwik-E-Mart.  And by "molded after" I mean "stolen from". I did this for no other reason than to entertain myself so, hopefully, you get a kick out of it, too.

In addition, I finally overhauled the look of this blog along with adding some new bells and whistles such as a search field, a Twitter feed and a snazzy logo designed by my wife and fellow artist, Erin Gallagher. Fancy! In fact, I'm wearing a top hat while typing this.

See ya soon!

Theme Week 1: Batman
Day 5: Batman

Pencil drawing of the Batman himself for a painting I'm currently working on. I'll post that up here, too, when it's done. Have a great weekend!

Theme Week 1: Batman

Day 4: The Joker

Pencil sketch of Batman's arch-nemesis. And even though he's insane, you have to admire the Joker's attitude; he's always smiling and can find the humor in just about anything. Except for "Two and a Half Men". Even he doesn't understand why it's so popular.

Theme Week 1: Batman

Day 3: Mr. Freeze

A quick warm-up sketch of Mr. Freeze (sorry, no pun intended) for the third installment in this week's theme. Now that I think about it, maybe he's behind all this snow and cold weather we've been getting lately. Or maybe I need to start getting more sleep; I think I'm losing my grip on reality. At least that's what my cats have been telling me.

Theme Week 1: Batman

Day 2: Two-Face

A Tuesday blog post of a Two-Face sketch for day two of the Batman theme week! My take on Two-Face is very much influenced by the Bruce Timm version since I feel it's one of the best (if not the best) designs of the character. I did take a different approach to the face but the messy white hair and black & white suit are perfect so why change them? One detail I added to the suit was some sloppy stitching on the tie to suggest the Two-Face makes those crazy two-toned suits himself. Or at least has his hired goons make them. Stay tuned for tomorrow's entry!

Theme Week 1: Batman
Day 1: BATZARRO

Kicking off this Batman theme week with a Batzarro sketch! Yep, Batzarro. He's such a ridiculous character I can't help but love him.

TMNTPencil sketch of Raphael, ankle deep in raw sewage.

BAMF!Pencil sketch of Kurt Wagner aka Nightcrawler! I think I'll do this as a painting sometime in the near future.
