Conan... IN COLOUR

What it is.

Hawkeye - IN COLOR!

POW!

Diagnosis: MAGIC!

Dr Strange!

BIG BARDA!

BIG BARDA!

Conaaaaan! It's Conan!

Warm-up Conan sketch. I don't draw this big, bowl-haircutted bozo that much, but when I do, I always have fun with him.

Guards! Guards!

A wee glimpse at my next Doctor Who Magazine strip, which will be out in... June? July? Summer, anyway. I don't want to say too much just yet, but it's a glorious, picaresque romp of a thing with a guest star who pretty much steals the show.

Here are some big, ugly alien guards - on balance, probably my favourite thing to draw. Look at them there, with their shock batons and big guns!

Wolverman! Luthortooth! My eyes!

I have a weird job.

Hulk Wash!

Today's warm-up pic, posted in honour of the fact that the Hulk is the coolest thing in this Avengers trailer.

Biggie v The Shadow

Pencils for an unfinished commission piece. I might ink this when I get a mo.

Mr Latveria 1962

A pencil sketch for a recent commission. I ended up going with a different approach, but I like this a lot, especially the mystical sigils on his armour. Doctor Doom rules!

CH!

A little somethin' somethin' from that Oni Press project I'm working on. Pencils and inks by me, colours by me and the missus. Coming... SOON!

Thor vs. Karate Kid

Another recent commission piece. Not shown: Mr Miyagi, Ralph Macchio, that blond kid who always plays toughs in eighties movies, the dude from Cagney and Lacey or Elisabeth Shue.

Happy Birthday, Woodgod!

This one's for Kurt Busiek.

In the clearing stands a boxer...

Still kicking that boxer idea (from WAY back) around. Did this earlier today -



- came out nice!

Does Whatever an Iron Can

Here's Iron Man!



I don't think I'm alone in finding Iron Man a bit of a bugger to draw. His armour is either too baroque and fiddly (as in the Ultimates version) or just kind of... dull. So this is a halfway house between the modern version and imperial phase Iron Man (ie. the Bob Layton model). I hope you (whoever you are) like it.

Bye!

I Drawed the Law!

Some Dredd doodles to warm up my brush-hand. Drokk!

HIT ME!

Remember that bit in the Dark Knight when the Joker's stood there in the middle of the street, and that crazy old Batman is speeding towards him on his massive bike, and then Batman pussies out because the Joker is too awesome to kill? Imagine that but with Adam West and Cesar Romero:


This was another recent commission. It's the most fun I've had with my drawing in bloody ages - I almost don't want to give it away. The commissioner (lol) asked me to take a moment from Batman's "dark" era (ie. everything since 1986), and recast that moment with the 60s Batman and Joker. I was torn between this and the neck-snapping bit in Dark Knight Returns. But no one wants to see Adam West snapping Cesar Romero's neck - that's too frigging horrible for words. So I picked this fairly iconic bit from The Dark Knight. Which in turn, let's be honest, is not a million miles from this:



Love that Joker!

Adding Burt Ward's Robin was my idea - sixties Batman is nothing without his monkey wrench, after all.

Knock, Knock!

Another recent commission piece:



I do miss David Tennant.

FFed!

And here's the rest of yesterday's picture. I get a huge kick out of drawing the Future Foundation, especially Spider-Man. Only when sitting down to draw the character, do you realise how cleverly they've stuck to the original design AND inverted it. Really smart stuff - and I love the integration of the hexagons into the spider motif-thing.

Fun.

Snippet!

A wee glimpse at an upcoming commission piece - very pleased with this one. Especially the balls!
