300

Some paintings (of variable time spent and quality) inspired by Frank Miller's 300 graphic novel, and the movie based on same:

Ephialetes; King Leonidas and some Spartans; a random Spartan warrior; a painting based on an actual statue of Leonidas; more Spartans; one of the Immortals; Gerard Butler as Leonidas in the movie; Leonidas' final defiant moments




The one I spent the most time on, however, was a portrait of Lena Heady as Queen Gorgo (some steps are shown):

Sketches

Just some random old sketches

J. Jonah Jameson; Deadman; Loki

E is for Ellis Bextor, F is for Forlani, G is for Garner

Three more from my A-Z of female celebrities.

Sophie Ellis Bextor; Claire Forlani; Jennifer Garner

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).

Pulp Heroes

A selection of action heroes, originally featured in the pulp magazines of the 30s.

The Shadow; Doc Savage; Tarzan; Conan:




...and a mock Doc Savage cover:

Kiss Me

A quick actual size painting. I wanted to do something that had the feel of a magazine illustration by the likes of Coby Whitmore or Joe Bowler.

D is for Dawson

The fourth in my A-Z of female celebrities is Rosario Dawson. I'm not particularly happy with the likeness.

Tribute for Ringo

Mike Wieringo, comicbook artist and good guy, 1963 - 2007. He'll be much missed.

Is there a Doctor in the House?

Some recent portraits of the 10 actors who have played the different incarnations of Doctor Who on television since 1963.

In order of appearance: William Hartnell; Patrick Troughton; Jon Pertwee; Tom Baker; Peter Davison; Colin Baker; Sylvester McCoy; Paul McGann; Christopher Eccleston; David Tennant.

Indiana Jones

A portrait of Harrison Ford as everyone's favourite archeologist, done in a faux Drew Struzan style.

The Duke

A portrait of John Wayne, in various stages of completion:

Anakin

A quick painting of Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker as he appears in Star Wars Episode 3

C is for Cates

The third in my alphabet of female celebrities, 80s star Phoebe Cates

Eva Green X 3

Done for a Jam on the Drawing Board.

The first two are based on reference from the Ridley Scott movie "KIngdom of Heaven"



The third and last one I did came out the best, I think.

Chelsea

I happened to catch a bit of an episode of the reality TV show "Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll" and found myself enamoured by one of the contestants, Chelsea Korka.

Finding decent reference was hard, so I'm not entirely happy with the likeness.

B is for Beart

The second in my A-Z of female celebrities, the french actress Emanuelle Beart.

Green Goblin

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