It’s International Woman’s Day so I drew Countess Markievicz looking like Han Solo.
Why? Because I can.
I worked my way up it, so the boots are good, the parachute pants passable, and everything else scribbled.
To submit as a preliminary to an horror/music anthology.
It was rejected. So I thought, why not put it up here.
It’s purpously kind of doofy and EC Comicsish.
I kind of hate the first page, and don’t think a lot of it in general, but I am quite proud of the middle ‘remember when Frank Miller wasn’t the worst person in the world’ page.
Actually now that I think of it there’s a Jamie McKelvie/Tony Moore/J.G Jones reference(s) in the middle page as well. It was a sort of people I wish I was as talented as list.
That caption box in the top left took me by surprise.
Who knew we’d see the day Luke Cage gets beaten up in the middle of the Burren.
I doodled some of my favourite JSA characters.
I used this guy as a reference for Sandman but I changed the mask to be more golden age-ie.
Black Canary: I tried to give her Veronica Lake hair but it’s a lot less sleek than I wanted.
Wildcat: I was trying to keep each one as close to 20 minutes as I could so by the time I got to the wrappings on his fists I’d gone way over and needed to get them done.
Taken with instagram because regular photos are for suckers.
A page from a story I drew for writing group but didn’t have enough time to finish.
I was going to halftone this to death, as is my way, but I quite like it just black and white.
I started re-reading my British reprints of Frank Millar’s Daredevil run the other day and so the left column pretty much became an ode to those issues.
Remember kids, knives might slice through skin, muscle tissue, and bone but they NEVER cut through the fabric covering the exist wound.
Until this DC Reboot starts to be dismantled (I’m betting the first signs of it will be around May 2013) comics will be without fishnet tights thanks to the “Everyone bar Harley Quinn and Supergirl need to wear pants” mandate, so here’s Black Canary in her old costume.
I went with Hollika Rahn, but I need to learn how to colour things better than I can at the moment, because I really prefer this (and most things I draw) in black and white to how it turned out when I coloured it.
