Step By Step WOLVERINE Sketch card part 3..Final.

Here is the finished art for the Wolverine AP commission I teased you (lovingly)with. This was fun from start to finish..I hope the rest of the ones I do will hit hard. For this piece I used a combo of Ink,Acrylics,Markers,Prismacolor pencils,and Jah for inspiration. Scroll down to see from the start -Hulk#340 cover re-creation after McFarlane

Because I feel like it..WOLVERINE AP Sketch Card #2

Back again.
Feeling blessed yet?:)
Anyhoo, here is a scan of a second commission Ive done recently.
a Re-Creation of MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS #92,a Sam Kieth Wolverine for Ryan Humphreys(minus the logo).

You know the ones (if your old enough,I guess) with all the crazy ribbons and telephone cords everywhere. InSaneTime !!
How could he walk??! I'd be constantly tripping on crap.

And here is the source material-love him or hate him,he puts in work,that Kieth guy.

Then here is my sketch..with all my various notes..a lot of the ribbons I can add later. I greyscale for hair instead of stippling for speed.

Up next is the pencilled art,then of course the inked piece compare to see how much(or little) has changed. Color/Finished Version posted up on Friday!

Step By Step WOLVERINE Sketch card Part 2 !

Okay its after lunch,and here are the inks to the previous entry.
I used a 102 Hunt crowquill for the 1st time in a while on this.
My only complaint is the paper acts like a Charmin towel with ink...

I will put up a few more things later, card wise.

Step By Step WOLVERINE Sketch card

Been away for awhile to sort out stuff,get work done,heal form skate injuries ect,...So today I will show some of the stuff I'm working on in the form of a Step-By-Step.
I often do commissions of all shapes and sizes and this one is a WOLVERINE Sketchagraph Card done for Billy Villalobos(what a cool last name).
Billy requested a cover re-creation of Hulk #340 (Mcfarlane cover).
First,I will show the source material, done by Todd McFarlane and inked by Bob Wiacek .Next we have my sketch of the source material...this is where you can make/see mistakes and of course correct them before finishing. Then,I grab the sketch and slap it on the lightbox,and carefully re-pencil this to my liking. Later I will scan in the inked piece,probably after lunch.

MmmmmmmmLunch......

Personal Sketch Cards!! Please PSC me,baby!

Today's bit of artistic
tomfoolery is focused on
PSC's or Personal
Sketch Cards.
Ive done a few sets of these mini-masterpieces for Marvel,DC,and of course RittenHouse
Archives,the Kings of PSC cards.
Here are a few samples of me work in that field. The paintings of Cable of X-Force and Gammora of Titan are 5x7 oversized incentive type cards.
Currently finishing up
working on the
SpiderMan Archives Set,
to be released 10-28-09
The Cable and
Gammora are done in my
use-whatever-works style of Acrylics,
colored pencil,colored ink,and whatnot.

And yes I do mad commissions
PSC-style!
Holla Back now!
