'Ol James Howlett

John Prisk - Wolverine

So this is the color scheme I finally settled on. I felt that the original color scheme was just too intense, too much, so I decided to dilute it down a bit.
Wanna see the other version? Just ask and I'll post it. Otherwise (while I may post the original at some point anyway) this is the one I'm going with.

Big Cat Diary

John Prisk - Big Cat Diary
Done.
*SIGH*
I really liked this show and I wish they would A) produce more episodes and B) make the episodes they did produce available in the bloody United States...

Now it's all about the colors...

Skeletor

John Prisk - Skeletor
...From The Masters of the Universe.

This is part of a larger poster. The background is just there to fill the space and wont (at least I'm not planning on it) be part of the finished piece...

My version of his costume is a little different than the original. The changes I made are pretty minimal, but I gotta admit that I like mine better.

Done.
Here's a link to the last state of this I posted (last year).

Vintage Spidey

John Prisk - Vintage Spiderman


Aaaaaaaaannnnnd done.
As stated earlier I wanted to combine the older cover designs of my youth with more modern lines. I "vinteged" her out in photoshop to add to the vibe.

Starting the new year off with a bang.

Vintage style Spidey comic cover. A classic villain and a classic layout (the lil faces in the circles, ala Steve Ditko style from the 60's) when combined with the colors that I will ultimately put on her will make for a traditional looking Marvel comic cover.
That traditional style will be juxtaposed with the more modern style of line art and I think that will look great when complete.
We'll see when it's done, right?
More to come.

Zapotec

John Prisk - Zapotec

John Prisk - Zapotec

The Corn God.
Two versions of the same piece.
Done for a VERY patient client back east. The first version is as requested. I presented the second version to her as well because I thought it looked cool too. So did she, so I gave her both.

Souls of Black

John Prisk - Souls of Black

My homage to a classic (if not somewhat poorly produced) thrash album by the band Testament.

I'm not much into metal anymore but I must admit that Testament is one band that never seems to get old for me. Souls of Black is one I can listen to over and over.

"Look at the Lost Souls..."

In Search Of...

John Prisk - In Search Of

My first memories of hearing about bigfoot came from this program. I still remember the intro and Leonard Nimoy's narration to this episode.

Souls of Black - Redux

Some elements of a personal reworking of the Souls of Black album cover. I did a little homage piece a few years back but it hasn't really held up well over time so I'm re-doing it to give it a more complete and grittier feel.
More to come...

Ragnarök

John Prisk - The Mighty Thor


A drawing from my sketchbook I inked in over the course of a few days hanging  out with a pal. I decided I wanted to throw some color on it and this is the result.

Gothic Tales

John Prisk - Spiderman and Batman

An older drawing I re-imagined into this faux comic crossover cover. The idea for this particular story (or more accurately, a series of stories) has been rattling about in my mind for a number of years now and I wanted to make this cover for it...

The Venture Bros.

Ghosts of the Sargasso.
One of my all time favorite episodes. This is my stylistic take on the characters.

New Dark Ages

John Prisk - Bad Religion New Dark Ages


Just finished this one up the other day. It's based (quite obviously) on the Bad Religion song New Dark Ages of the album New Maps of Hell.

Fantasy Sculpture

This was a piece I sculpted in college. For the foundation class we had to adhere to pretty strict guidelines throughout the class. However for the final we were allowed to cut loose and do pretty much anything we wanted in any style/mode we chose.
I'd always liked the fantasy aspect of this one and am finally getting around to sharing it.
