I don't know. Somewhere outside of Heaven.
Someone on DeviantArt mentioned how funny a team-up between Batman and The Tick would be. This is how I saw it. |

| This is the beat down Superman received from the combined efforts of Batman, Flash, Green Arrow and the Atom in the first book of that Dark Knight Returns 2 that DC did a few years back. This is for the final challenge of that Challenge of the Artists contest. The challenge was to do a character defining moment from the DC universe and most people I asked wanted the fight from the first Dark Knight Returns between Supes and Bats but I liked that this one had more characters. |

| One of my favorite Marvel characters from the 70's. In his original (and cooler) costume than the ones he had later. Bad thing about him is that he first only appeared in the Marvel UK line that wasn't available here in the states. The only glimpse we had of him was a couple Marvel Team-ups alongside Spidey. Meanwhile, he had his own series in the UK. I was super excited the other day when I happened to find several issues of said series in a local comic shop. Bought one of each. The art is classic Herb Trimpe which made it even more exciting! |

| Just finished reading a pretty good Wonder Woman novel and along with that and Cathryn being such a big fan of her too I wanted to do a shot of her. I still don't like the 'uniform' she wears so I designed one myself. I can't figure out if I like this picture or not. I like aspects of it and dislike others. Its hard to see past the flaws that I know are there. |

I've always liked the design of Ben Dunn's Warrior Nun Areala character so I wanted to do a drawing of her. I intentionally made the head overly large as somewhat of an homage to Mr. Dunn's style.
P.S. This is the last of the artwork I already had in my computer that I wanted to submit. I'll continue to post stuff I do that I'm happy with but it won't be quite as often as it has been. I'm sure the moderators will be relieved. I appreciate their patience with me. |

Ok long story:
Over on DeviantArt(Are we allowed to mention other artsites?)one of my friends 'tagged' me to join in on this...thing. Its hard to describe what it was. I think people refer to them as meme's? But I'm old, I don't know what that means. It was a vertical row of images done by different people showing all or one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Apparently, the originator did one and then proceeded to 'tag' someone who had to do one and subsequently 'tag' someone else. Etcetera, etcetera. Anyway, I hadn't drawn the Turtles in a while so I figured I would give it a go. The preceeding artists had all done well at depicting the Turtles in their 'normal' looks so I did one of them...grown up I guess? I don't know, I just drew them more seriously I guess you could say. Plus, I thought it might be cool to only do color on their bandanna/masks.
Anyway, I get it done in my usual mode, i.e. drawing and inking it on paper and then scanning it in to color on photoshop. I add it to the line of artwork and post it. Only to find out that it was supposed to be done completely on the computer. So I just figured I would post it by itself. And then I thought that I haven't been posting anything here regularly for a while(Lack of inspiration) so I would post it here as well.
Sorry for the overexplanation. I tend to be paranoid about explaining things. |

A fellow I work with is an independent filmmaker and wanted a birthday present for his cinematographer cohort. They are both big fans of the late Stan Winston and he wanted a drawing of several of Stan's most famous creations, not to mention a couple director peers, standing around his grave.
This is the result.
If he even wants it, I will probably just give it to him. I wouldn't feel right charging for this. |

| I feel I should specify that this character isn't affiliated with any religious leaders. Well, except God and Jesus of course. Obviously its affiliated with Christianity but no, it isn't the Pope or any other leader in the costume. The character isn't even Catholic. Its just an anonymous Christian person with superpowers who sees the powers as being from God and meant to help people. The hammer is a mystic weapon that is unable to make contact with any living things. It just passes through them so that he can't injure any people with it. It can, however, impact spiritual beings. Demons, angels, etc. And inanimate objects. I only added all of this info because people on other sites had made comments that it was funny to see the Pope as a superhero which this most definitely is NOT! |

| I'm not sure exactly what the problem is with this one but something really bothers me about it. Sort of seems like the top of the figure doesn't match up with the legs somehow and the head seems wrong. Not to mention the arms and hands and blah, blah, blah... The one on the left is the original layout and the one on the right was flipped over. The flipped one looks better to me which seems sad. Which looks better folks? The flat colors or the shaded? Second question: I feel like its proper to post most things I do. The work I'm 'happy' with and the stuff I'm not so that I can get authentic critiques on my work. Does everyone feel that way or should I just post the stuff I'm happy with? |

Found an old video from 1949 in which Clayton Moore played Zorro! The guy who was the Lone Ranger as Zorro!Cool huh? I hear that it was this appearance that got him the LR role.
I've always liked Zorro so I tried to draw the cover. On the left is the barebones pencil drawing and on the right is the same after some photoshop work. |

| Over on DevArt, someone asked if I would do a pic of She-Hulk. I asked them if they had any specific ideas for the pic to which they replied that they would like to see her sitting on someone crushing them with her butt. They suggested that the victim be Zatana since Zatana was their favorite DC female. She-Hulk being their favorite Marvel femme. This was the best I could come up with. They mentioned wanting it in sort of an anime style but I'm not good at that so I just got as close as I could. |

I became more displeased with the last attempt so I thought I would try another. I like this one better in that I think the layout is better and the drawing itself is better. The only thing I like less about this one is that its more cartoony and stylized than the previous one.
I changed the Phantoms trunks to the original striped ones. Although he didn't wear the stripes in the show, I like those better. Although, to be completely accurate, he didn't even have his pistols in the show either.
Don't ask me what Lothar is doing. I guess he's just trying to psych out the enemy. |

Even Batman has to pee sometime and I doubt the Batmobile comes equipped with a Bat-urinal. And those all night patrols can be killers on the bladder. Especially after some of Alfred's coffee.
Ok, ok. The Batmobile probably does have some kind of contraption for Bats to relieve himself or Batman can control his body to the degree that he could go days or weeks without urinating but a cartoon about that wouldn't be very funny now would it? Not that I'm assuming this one is funny either but you get my point.
Did this one really quick. Please forgive the shoddy draftsmanship. |

| Old Green Lantern drawing.

This drawing is probably around 8 years old. This was done back when Wizard magazine had art contests. The contest was to draw the Kyle Rayner Green Lantern defeating Dr Light in an original way. I just sent in the black and white ink drawing since I didn't have photoshop back then but I did get one of the 20 1st runner up prizes which was really cool. I got some autographed comics. I found this recently and thought I would add some color. Just remember, the drawing is 8 years old.
I don't know how long Dr Light had this outfit but its the one he had during the contest and I can't find an image of it anywhere on the freakin' net to use for a color reference.
Oh and in case anyone has the issue of Wizard where they printed the winners, you won't see mine. They didn't print it! Maybe because it wasn't colored. |

| This is for the Sue Storm week. I tried to draw her as more of a voluptuous female rather than the thin as a rail, ribs pokin' out variety we usually see in comics. Although I'm a huge fan of those also. And don't ask me whats up with the hair. I have no idea. Hair, especially womens, is one of my MANY major weaknesses. |

| Anyone remember this 'toon? This is yet another pic that I will regret rushing through. I hate doing that but seem unable to correct it. I was up way too late and had to go to work the next day but I didn't want to have to wait until the next night to finish it. I guess I'm neurotic about it but I just can't wait to see what they are going to look like so I end up rushing them. Dangit. I may eventually get around to coloring this. Or not. Only the Shadow knows. |

Alex Toth was a genius at character design. Spaceghost was one of the best ones he did. I wanted to do more of a serious shot of him rather than the humorous 'Coast to coast' persona. I was pretty pleased with this one almost all the way through it. It wasn't until the end of the coloring that something went wrong. I'm not sure if its his energy blasts, the background or the cape and cowl(if not all three) but something just isn't right. Or it could be something completely different that my conscious mind just isn't catching.
*After some of the great suggestions by fellow artists I fiddled with this one a bit. I like this new one. |
