WHO IT IS: MORPH from EXILES! Sorry, I meant to post this yesterday, but the day got away from me. I thought the big white area in my work history would’ve jinxed it … The Maxx was a good guess considering the colors.

WHO IS IT? I’m working on some painting commissions. This is one of the splattered canvases before the mask is removed. Any guesses who the superhero character is? (The reveal will be posted in a couple hours.)

Daily sketch: THE INCREDIBLE HULK! Feeling a little loose today. Besides the gestural color and inks, I used the ink pen with the brush tip for greater variation in line width.

Daily sketch: STARFIRE! A lot of life in the orange and purple markers, so this Teen Titan seemed like a good fit. Maybe a prelim for a larger piece, but right now a nice addition to the small sketchbook.

Daily sketch: CONAN THE BARBARIAN! I had no idea who I was drawing when I started this. Just began noodling an extreme leaping-into-battle pose. At the end, Conan seemed a good fit.

From the files: THE JLA! as balloon animals. This is a fun one I did at FCBD years ago. Silliness to the max.

From the files: APOCALYPSE v MR SINISTER! I’ve been going through old files, and finding a lot of stuff I don’t even remember doing. Here’s a cool one…

Morning sketch: GREEN LANTERN! I was looking at the markers, and hadn’t used the greens much. So Hal Jordan time! Also playing around with a way to handle the boxing glove ring construct with the markers, with a little extra white thrown in.

Little help? I’m taking a poll. I’m considering revisiting this DAREDEVIL piece to darken it up (as I did with a filter on the 2nd image). I might’ve been too tentative on the first, and darker is more dramatic. Which do you prefer?

Remark in a copy of NED, Lord of the Pit: CAPTAIN BLUE HEN! That’s right. For CAPTAIN BLUE HEN COMICS in Newark, Delaware. They’re carrying both Vol1 & 2!

GREEN GOBLIN! On the road today so no time for sketching. Here’s some behind-the-scenes; the rough sketch from the grayscale GREEN GOBLIN posted a few days ago.

THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE. Last night’s Halloween watch. 70s haunted house movie; couldn’t find it streaming. A little dated but a Richard Matheson story. He wrote some of the best Twilight Zones.

FROG! Here’s a fun one. Remark in a copy of NED Lord of the Pit for POP’S CULTURE SHOPPE in Wellsboro PA. They’re carrying both vol 1 & 2. (Show them some love.) They requested a frog reading a book. I chose WIND IN THE WILLOWS.
