Random convention sketches

 Thor

Black ink on comic book back board (2010)

Colored with color pencil (2014)

I drew this at a local comic shop and as inked art with basic red and blue coloring blocking was part of my collection of art-for-sale for several years. This year I finished it with color pencils.

 Duo Damsel

Black ink on comic book back board (2010)

Colored with color pencil (2014)

This came about from a miscommunication in a commission. The client collects sketches of Legion of Super-Heroes members. Unfortunately, he wanted her using her powers - in other words her wanted 2 or 3 of her. Like Thor above, the unfinished piece remained part of my art-for-sale collection for a few years.

 Belle/ Marvel Girl mash-up

Black ink and color pencil on Bristol Board collector card

concept leading to a series of Disney princess/ Marvel heroine mash-ups

2014

In this experiment, I put Belle (Beauty and the Beast) in a classic X-Men/ Marvel Girl costume and colored it in the palette of Belle’s ballroom gown. On a 3-1/2-inch tall card there’s a limit to that amount of detail to be added. In what became a series, I opted for tighter cropped portraits that highlighted the princesses’ faces.

Jungle Girl

Black ink and color pencil on Bristol Board

2014

This was not so much a commission rather than an enticement done during Heroes Convention knowing that one of my regular commission clients had a jungle girl collection.
