Hulk...

I slowly started to hate this one as I was drawing it. Feels kinda flat, and shading kicks my butt sometimes. Oh well, here it is.


Here Comes.... Daredevil! Man Without Fear!

Good hell, I love Daredevil.
drawn and colored with india ink pens, colored pencil, and a big, fat sharpie.

Poor R2...

  I watched A New Hope and my personal favorite, Empire Strikes Back, this weekend. No time to watch Return of the Jedi, but I'm not missing much. I'm happier without watching Ewoks and mediocre acting. Here's a doodle inspired by one of Luke's oh-so-cheesy lines from A New Hope.

Spidey

Hopefully the movie kicks as much ass as the trailers. Though it was made by Sony, I still have hope.

Weekly Inspiration 3: Northlanders

  Violent. Gritty. Gory. Yet somehow soft and personal. I love Northlanders. It's a series that chronicles adventures of Vikings, and their unfortunate victims, throughout Europe circa 1000A.D. 
  How does it inspire me, besides just being a beautiful series of comics? The use of blacks. Not making a racial statement here, I'm talking about the inks. I've heard my hero, Ralph Bakshi, say that black is the most important color for a cartoonist, and I took note. But Northlanders really made me see it.  Huge blots of black ink make up a lot of the pages in these books, and it's funny that your mind doesn't find it odd. Black just works. It tells your eye, "This is a dark area," and your mind just fills in the blanks. Definitely gonna look back on these while doing Avalir.
