Spidey and Some Baddies

I've always been a bigger fan of the more classic Spider-Man villains. Ironically it's the more contemporary look (ala the 90's) for the character of Spider-Man that I prefer.

Anyway this was a bit of a small thing - 9 x 12 on 100 LB. Vellum Bristol Board. Pencils and inks took about 4 to 4 and a half hours.

Dirty Harry Callahan

A poster I've been fiddling with for a looooooooong time now. It's based on the Dirty Harry franchise of movies starring Clint Eastwood.

The story revolves around Harry Callahans very first case after becoming an inspector, circa 1965-6. As the copy suggests, it is where he gets his reputation for being the one who handles all the dirty crap no one else will touch.

Gears of War

Comprised of elements from the old sketchbook. Based on a video game and a song for that game by the band Megadeth.
It's really not a very good drawing, but I really wanted to color it. So I did.

You Can't Have One...

... Without the Other.
Done for the fabulous Ms. Clark and her blog Just Saying I Love You. This particular piece is about love and hate as they relate to one another. Basically it goes back to the idea that you can't have good without bad, hot without cold, reeses without pieces... You get the idea.

Certified Deadly

A pen-sketch from the sketchbook. I liked it, so I colored and textured it. I threw on some "vintage" lines as an afterthought cuz it sorta reminded me of an old trading card...

Another "Another Day"

Another in the series.

The Sketchy

...The Strange Fantasy Life.
Another little sketchbook offering. I thought it was suitably bizarre enough to color it.

The EDIT of Alter Egos

This is an edit of the image found at this link [LINK-E-POO]. This edit more accurately reflects my original intentions with the drawing.

HellBoy - From the Sketchbook

Somethin' from my sketchbook that I though was kinda fun, so I inked it in.

I gotta be honest, I really don't like drawing in my sketchbook. The pages are small (9 x 12) and the paper is not as conducive to accepting clean ink over the lines the way 100 LB. Bristol Board is, so when I do something I think is kinda cool it ends up not looking it's best when I'm done with it.

It's great for getting out ideas, but I hate doing anything more complex then stick figures it it; I'll end up wanting to ink it and then ultimately not be satisfied because it's not on 14 x 17...

Pepes Fruit Stand

Done for a friends band. Unfortunately they are no longer active as a band. But I said I'd do the image and I wanted to follow through (even if it is a day late and a dollar short), so here it is.

For Pepes Fruit Stand... The fishbowl spaceman.

The Sign of Four

In progress.
I've been reading a lot of Sir Arthur Conan Doyles Sherlock Holmes novels lately. I'm currently on The Hound of the Baskervilles but I had just finished The Sign of Four and I really wanted to work up a poster for it.
I'm setting it up with a little art nouveau styling with the border. It'll come through a little more (hopefully) when the colors are added. The space at the bottom is for copy.
I have two small illustrated elements to add to it so when I do I'll post the update., and again when I update the colors...

Iron Man and Tony Stark

I haven't really drawn anything in quite some time. It's been about a month and a half, so I did this and a few other things in my trusty sketchbook to get myself back into an artistic mode.

It's still in the work in progress stage as I'm gonna add color and copy.
