"I would like to be a reporter. I haven't had any experience in writing, but...I have other qualifications that might be valuable."

Caricatures of the stars of the 1948 Superman serial - Kirk Alyn as Superman, Noel Neill as Lois Lane, Tommy Bond as Jimmy Olsen.

Gladiator Wolverine

I never liked the official Wolverine "Origin" story - for me it was far too limited in scope and timescale. I always thought that the character deserved something more epic, spanning various continents and hundreds - if not thousands - of years.
The December monthly challenge on the ImagineFX forum - to overhaul an existing character's look, while still retaining enough to make them recognisable - gave me a perfect opportunity to illustrate something that's been lurking in my head for a while: Wolverine as a gladiator in ancient Rome.

Lou Ferrigno

A caricature sketch of the titular star of the 70s-80s' Incredible Hulk TV show, Lou Ferrigno. Done for a Caricaturama challenge.

Close-up:

Cowabunga, dudes!

A sketch of one of those Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fellows. Don't ask me which one it is, I always get them mixed up.

Art Deco Heroes

Some old illustrations of DC superheroes, done in an art deco (ish) style.
The Batman

Blackhawk

Green Lantern (Alan Scott)

Martian Manhunter

A sketch of J'onn J'onnz, the Martian Manhunter.

The Spirit

Black Bolt

An old sketch of Marvel Comics' Black Bolt, leader of The Inhumans

Hulk Sketch

An oldish sketch of Marvel Comics' The Incredible Hulk, which I started to tighten up, but never finished. Maybe I'll return to it some day and finish it.

Gwen Stacy

A painting of Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker's first love in the Spider-Man comics. Her death in The Amazing Spider-Man #121 is one of the most shocking moments in comics' history.

Batman

I always find it difficult to draw iconic characters such as Batman, because there are so many versions by so many artists that I like. This is the closest I've come to MY ideal Batman.


Initial sketch (the left leg wasn't really working)



Stages in the painting:



Final image:

Fire and Ice

Two sketches of the Human Torch and Mr Freeze.

Wolverine redux

A reworked version of the Wolverine picture I did about a year or so ago, which I tightened up for inclusion in Imagine FX magazine.

Galactus

My painting style is about a million miles away from Jack Kirby, but I thought it'd be fun to try painting the Devourer of Worlds, based on his first appearance (when he still had the goofy "G" on his outfit).

Green Goblin

Spider-man's arch nemesis. Started of as a black and white sketch, then I decided to add some colour.

Sandman

A quick sketch of the Spider-man villian. It started of based on a photo reference of Thomas Haden Church's portrayal of the character in the latest movie, but I ditched that idea and ended up with something halfway between that and the comicbook version
