Here's my entry for this week's Jack Kirby topic:

Gezora...The Magnificent

For my Tokyo piece I had originally started a Tetsuo from Akira drawing. Half way through I decided I didn't really like it, so I went the other obvious route; giant monsters. I let my wife pick a monster from a list of monsters that destroy Tokyo for a living and she chose Gezora. I don't know when I'll have a chance to get a decent scan of it, so here's a digital photograph.

The Tentacled Brains of Space Station 613

"That IS a moon! AND a space station!"

When the theme of 80's black & white comics explosion was brought up I knew immediately that I wanted to do a piece of art paying tribute to Mike Baron & Steve Rude's "Nexus". For me, Nexus was the coolest indie comic at the time. I still love it!

I didn't expect to get quite as a tied up in the piece as I did. Hopefully you can see that I spent a little time on it and had a great time doing it.

This piece was done with ink, ink wash and liquid watercolor on 11"x17" Strathmore 500 bristol (part of their "sequential" series of papers). This was my first time using that particular paper and I have to say I really like it. There was just enough tooth to get the dry brushing effects that I like and not so much that I couldn't lay down a smooth line too. Hope you enjoy the piece!

Go read some old Nexus comics!

"Queen"

Who you callin’ bitch?

Colored pencil (white) on black (Strathmore Artagain) paper by Robert Elrod. Measures approximately 9"x9" or so.

"Until the Last Light"

Here's my "settings & environments" piece. It was done with ink, ink wash and liquid watercolor on 15"x11" illustration board. Hope you enjoy it!

All the best!

"Gillman"

So ... this happened today. "Gillman" ... colored pencil on 12"x16" Canson Mi-Teintes by Robert Elrod. I've cropped the image file to 12"x14" to better center it.

 

"Smash!"

I left the theater (after both viewings of The Avengers) wanting to draw the Hulk. Thank you, Patrick, for choosing The Avengers for this week's subject!

Kanamit Cooking Channel

Welcome to the Kanamit Cooking Channel with your host Thomas the Siamese Triple! Yeah, I cheated and did the old 2 guys standing behind the one guy with their hands shoved through his robe trick. Enjoy!

It's a cookbook!!!!!!!

This one was a lot of fun! I might have to color it sometime. Well who's up next?! :D

Killer Klown

I just finished my Killer Klown. Had fun with it, and even watched the movie "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" for the hell of it. I watched all of the special features on the DVD...that was painful. Anyhow I can't wait to see what everybody comes up with and to see what gets chose for the next pick!

Killer Klowns...From Outer Space!

Guess I'll be the first to post! First off, thanks Don for picking a subject I wouldn't have thought of myself. Good opportunity to try stuff out of my comfort zone. And because that's the case, I present to you my first fully digital piece piece of art! Did the whole thing in Photoshop; something I've never done before.

The movie 'Killer Klowns from Outer Space' was just the first thing that popped into my head when I read the theme. So there you go.

Can't wait to see what the rest of the guys do!

Cheers
Patrick
