A commissioned illustration of the Hulk in his Planet Hulk gladiator gear. This one was a lot of fun & let me play around with something I wouldn’t normally have attempted.

A little fun ink sketch of the ladies of the original New Mutants lineup: Dani, Illyana, Rahne, & Amara

When I first read the Claremont run from start to finish in my 20’s, I skipped over New Mutants & Magik’s story. So, I only knew the bits from the main run, the Limbo age up & Inferno, doing a massive reread project of everything X-Men related from the beginning, I was blown away by how great this character was & how much I’d missed.

Just a fun ink sketch of the best wife in comics, at least until Joe Quesada got involved, Mary Jane Watson-Parker.

An illustration of my all-time favorite X-man, Archangel. From the first comic I ever got, Uncanny 280 through all of the 92 cartoon series & on, he’s the character I’ve most enjoyed drawing & wanted to see fully realized. My own take on his wings is that they operate like sharks teeth/box cutters wing the blade feathers in channels that constantly regenerate to replace fired blades.

Although I’m a firm Cyclops & Maddie advocate, it’s hard to deny the appeal of Scott Summers & Jean Grey as the central pair of the X-Men. I may prefer them as individual characters but they are inextricably linked.

Just some character illustrations of one of the X-Men’s most perennial nemesis, Raven Darkholme, Mystique. Diehard Claremont era fan myself, so I prefer Mystique as a true femme fatale.

Decided over the 4th of July weekend to also work on a little Supergirl Illustration. Hand drawn, inked & digitally colored by me.

An illustration of my favorite solo superhero from my favorite superhero TV show, Netflix Daredevil, hand drawn & digitally colored.
