Wonder Woman Redesign in Color

12 July 2010   |   Filed Under: art, commission

After some consideration, this one (though not quite as “street” and drastically different as the current DC’s change calls for) was what I like the best. 11×17 inked on bristol board. Digitally colored in Photoshop.

With the recent buzz over DC’s icon Wonder Woman redesign by JMS & Jim Lee, I decided to try my hand at it.As with images I post, you can click on the image to see an enlarge version.

I returned to more of what I envision of Wonder Woman’s build and costume. Pants and boots… my favorite so far.

With this version, I made only very subtle alterations to the original Wonder Woman costume. Still not sure anything should be changed from the original for this icon.

One of my first attempt. My attempt at capturing the essence of JMS’s Wonder Woman redesign intentions. Ended up not really appearing “modern” per se,, instead …

Soldier in Korean War

Happy Father’s Day to all of you fathers! I was thinking about my father who is half way across the globe today and started drawing something that always reminds me of him. A Korean War veteran, my father would always whip up a drawing of a soldier whenever I’d pester him for a drawing as a wee-little-lad. I miss him! Inked on 8.5″x11″ Bristol board.

Flash Gordon – A Tribute to Al Williamson

Sadly another of comic’s legend has passed away earlier this week. As many others influenced by Mr. Williamson’s accomplishments, I was deeply moved to do a tribute piece. Here’s my attempt at drawing Flash Gordon mimicking Al Williamson’s style as best I could muster. I know it pales to his work in too many ways to mention, I finished the whole piece from pencil to ink in record time for me – 8 hrs!
Inked on 11″x17″ Bristol Board.

R.I.P. – Al Williamson.

Athena Voltaire vs. Anubis’ Army of Mummies

First of all, if you haven’t checked out Athena Voltaire, you’re missing out on one of the most pulpy comic book goodness of our time. Created by my friend and collaborator, Steve Bryant, the books unveil the story of an adventure-bound aviatrix who encounters all sorts of mysteries in the veins of Indiana Jones.

When Athena was named the theme for ComicTwart contributors, an art blog made up of several fantastic industry artists, I jumped at the chance to do my own play-along version. What you may notice on my inked version of “Athena Voltaire vs. Anubis’ Army of Mummies” is that Anubis’ body is solid black unlike the pencils. During the inking stage, I noticed that the details of his body contour was distracting and the solid black helped frame Athena …
