If you look at the corner box, you can see this run of the Punisher never existed. I just made the whole cover up for fun. The characters were drawn in pencil on paper and then scanned into photoshop where I inked it, added all the cover dressing, then colored it. The vintage colors and texture effects are done via Debaser from TrueGrit.

You might have seen some of these floating around on the internet, especially pinterest. I drew most of these about 3 years ago and they went viral pretty fast. They are all based on a set of templates that I drew specifically for saving time when making character pin ups. As such, I have made close to a hundred different pinups for Marvel and DC characters.

Some of these are art pieces that I drew years ago and repurposed into ads or splash pages for fun. Except for Spidey. He was made this year. All art was drawn by hand in pencil first and then inked and colored in photoshop. Comics I used for the photos: Wolverine- FF #266, Demon- The Batman Adventures #12, Spider-Man- The Hunter #1 (I am the creator of this comic), Punisher- ASM #293, Man-Thing- Marvel Triple Action #2

Drawn in pencil on paper. Inked and colored by hand digitally in photoshop.

As you can see, the original pencil drawing was a smaller drawing on A4 paper, so I redrew it twice as large on A3. Then I scanned it into photoshop and then, by hand, I digitally inked and colored it, and added the background web and text. The colors and paper texture for both final images were accomplished with Debaser by True Grit.

I also included the original cover for ASM 233, which was published the same year as the 1984 Wolverine mini-series featuring the Hand. Just a fun little easter egg.

Here are some quintessential 90's Marvel and DC characters that I made pinups for. The Scarlet Spider and Spidey 2099 are part of a multi pinup series of Spider-Heroes over the decades. The Azrael Batman was kind just to see if I could draw him, despite never being a fan lol. All of the "trading card" character pin-ups are made from an initial body pose template I drew. I have made over 100 different Marvel and DC characters bronze age pinups, but these were specifically for the 90's.

This is gonna be art from all the way back to 2016 in some cases to very recent. If you are curious if I am the actual artist, you can find any of these on google from old Reddit/FB posts. As you can see, I work in a LOT of different styles, including styles meant to emulate different artists, like Romita Sr. and JLGL, or Michael Cho. Whatever fits the vibe of the piece.

Many of these were done around COVID so you can easily find old reddit posts of these on Google. I have since recolored them and added vintage texturing. A big influence in my life with this art is Michael Cho, so obviously you will see that influence here.

Yes, You will notice a similarity of the poses. That is because I have drawn over 100 different character pin ups with Marvel and DC characters, so I use a base set of templates that I have drawn. It's just a simpler way to do a large variety of characters that way.

All of these pieces were done between 2016 and 2019. If you're curious whether I'm the actual artist, you can find probably any of these on google from old reddit/ FB posts of mine. They look differently now because I recently recolored some of them and added a paper texture. Hope you like it.

Note: The 60's Silver Age Batman cover is an homage to a Neal Adams cover from the 70's and Rom was inspired by Sal Buscema, who did not draw the cover to ROM #1, but did draw the interiors. As for the Dracula cover.. IYKYK.
