Indiana Jones


And the Secret of the Sphinx, by Max McCoy.
In my humble opinion it's not the greatest book ever, but it had a lot of cool-type imagery in it that made me wanna do a little somethin' somethin'.

Hitman


Part of a series I wanna do (the Certified Deadly images based on story ideas) - this chap is a circa 1930's/40's hitman. While I don't know if a silencer is era appropriate or not I don't really care. It looks cool, so I went with it. Also I really dug the idea of the spot light beam terminating on the ground as a skull; I've been looking at a lot of Dave Johnson's work lately [LINKEY] and his sense of layout and design is in my opinion second to none. Definitely inspirational for me when I peep his work. I wanna do this one up in an era appropriate setting like an alley way with an old junker jalopy, street lamps and a body...

Aaaaaanyway, this was drawn on 9 x 12 100 LB. vellum Bristol Board pencils and inks took about 2 and a half hours.
