AVENGERS – STYLE TEST

Sneak peak at the “new” style I’ve been working on. This is currently being colored by my good friend and ultra talented painter, Doe. Tried to keep my faces looking like my usual style with a bit of a twist. Hair and facial features were more rendered, blacks were done with heavy hatching, pencils were completely eliminated by going straight to ink with *gasp* a ball point pen! Hopefully the end result is something a little more raw, with a little more energy and realism [...]

WHITE QUEEN & THE PHOENIX

This was a custom commission piece I had taken from my online store of the two sexy ladies of X-men, Emma Frost as White Queen and Jean Grey as The Phoenix! Tried to do something different with both the composition and the gestures. Didn’t want a prototypical super-heroine feel to this, rather a more sensual depiction of our characters.
