r/Spawn

Got this loose for just 40. I think it’s a steal deal!

My new favorite toy

This was done by a very talented artist known as Federico Mele from Rome. I saw him first on Instagram. This double spread he did for my commission way exceeded my expectations by a mile!

This scene still is in my head

Here we go again

Hmmmm

First air in over 20 years

Quick paint I did of one of my custom Spawn head sculpts. 3D sculpt and paint by me. I’ve always wanted a cool 2000’s comic era unmasked Spawn look.. especially with creepy crawlers.

You know what’s funny people confuse Kevin with Keith , I’m surprised people are confusing Both of their voices. I get their deep and all but still they’re both good voice actor for spawn.

Also as a spawn fan I been rereading some comics sometimes head cannon two voice actors (Keith and Kevin ) matches each art style of todd MacFarlane and Greg Capullo, for example,

 

Keith David + McFarlane’s style: David’s gravelly, raspy, tormented baritone has raw intensity and a hellish growl. It perfectly captures McFarlane’s visceral, nightmarish, over-the-top energy—the tortured anti-hero muttering to himself in the shadows, full of pain and menace. His Spawn has a rawer, more tormented and gritty edge—think weary, angry, and emotionally broken. There’s a distinctive rasp and intensity that feels personal and haunted, like a man who’s been through literal hell and is barely holding it together. McFarlane’s raw, grotesque, shadowy early art pairs naturally with David’s more tortured, gritty delivery—the voice amplifies the horror and street-level suffering in those panels.

 

Kevin Michael Richardson + Capullo’s style: Richardson’s deep, resonant, commanding voice is powerful and brooding but feels a bit smoother and more epic in delivery. It suits Capullo’s refined, dynamic artwork—the sleeker lines, bigger action poses, and more imposing presence. His version is deep and powerful too, but often comes across as slightly smoother, more commanding, and resonant. It has a bit more theatrical authority or “epic villain” weight, with less of the raw, scratchy torment and more controlled menace. Some fans describe it as broader or a touch cleaner in delivery. Capullo’s cleaner, more dynamic, epic artwork lines up better with Richardson’s slightly smoother, commanding presence—the voice gives that version of Spawn a bigger, more cinematic “hellspawn warrior” feel

In short: Keith David’s Spawn feels more visceral and suffering-heavy; KMR’s feels more imposing and demonic-authoritative. The overlap is strongest in the base tone (deep + gravel), which is exactly why they get mixed up—especially if you’re not listening for the subtle shifts in rasp, emotion, or pacing.

(also would it be funny if those two have a deep voice competition)

Ready to start my Spawn journey. Picked this up because McFarlane is my all time favorite Spider-Man artist. Hope I can read all 350+ issues before the year is over but I have sooo many other books to read as well.

Thinking about doing artist alley and doing some more art like this and featuring some of the tortured souls type art as well lemme know what you all think and as always thanks for supporting my art and I’m still going

Seriously I want to know because everyone gets into this character in different ways

Unfortunately I didn’t take any progress images as I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out!
