MCX - Charcoal Pieces

 

 

Title:MCX - Charcoal Pieces
Medium: Charcoal, Chalk, Ebony Pencil
Scale: Each piece is approx. 8" x 10"

Notes: Playing with different medias trying to get back to things that I used to do once upon a time, using the training that I've gained. These are a few pieces that I did over the past couple of weeks.

You've got, clockwise from top, Catwoman, Furiosa, Venom, and Spawn.

These were extremely fun to do and I want to just do a ton more!

Again, see you at Memphis Comic Expo on June 6 & 7 at the Agricenter!

Avengers - Black Widow


Title: Avengers - Black Widow
Medium: Photoshop CS6
Scale: Approx. 5" x 7"

Notes: There was so much unfortunate controversy surrounding black widow and the toys that came out that I thought she would be the better of all the avengers to paint. I really think that her character is a bit interesting and surprisingly hasn't lost much since her earlier incarnation. She was meant to be a sex appeal character, and yet her outfit was never extremely flattering which I actually think is great. I'm kind of over the ridiculously over-sexual female character. But I think if you've followed my blog at all, you might know that from my designs of Cora and pretty much all the fan art I do.


Anyway... hope you enjoy this one! And again, I'll have a table at Memphis Comic Expo this year! Come hang out on June 6 & 7 at the Agricenter!

Fan Art Friday: Double Feature



Title: Fan Art Friday: Double Feature
Medium: Photoshop CS6

Notes: Two for one... both WIPs at the moment.
Okay, I know this is a bit of a foul for this week, but I am working on a ton of paintings all at the same time, and charcoal drawings, and concept art for other projects. It's a whirlwind of crazy this past week, but I will get it all done... or it will kill me. Either way, there's art on the way!
