the Man of Steel…my own take on the iconic hero

Superman001 001

 

Man of Steel has come and gone, Superman V Batman: Dawn of Justice is on its way. And here, we have our own take on Superman himself.

I can only remember ever drawing this character, THE Super Hero, twice in my adult life. This is the second version, and the one i like the most. Heavily inspired by Michael Turner, i referenced quite a number of his peices while working on this. And it wasnt easy.

I began this in the summer of 2013, then abandoned it in a bout of frustration. I went back to it earlier this year, during a frenzy of inspiration from my Muse (yes, thats you Krystal Kinzer : ). Finished it in a few hours I did.

I’m hoping to try a few color passes using that Wacom Tablet and Sketch Pro that i recently acquired, but i’m still slowly working on getting that hang of it…

And so the adventure continues…Johnathan Able, now a Lieutenant in Starfleet, has been granted command of the cruiser U.S.S Alexandra, NCC-93062.

She’s named after my 2nd daughter’s middle name…sort of a tradition for this new STO character, as you’ll see with the next couple of ships.

I rather like this design…an upgrade to the old Constitution Class.

Oh, and her’s an updated look at a slightly older Lt. Able…

In trying to set a schedule to this, i’ve decided Mondays should be Michael Turner Mondays…the perfect day to post some of his fantastic artwork.

Here we have a series of covers he created for DC Comics’ The Flash. Colors are by Peter Stiegerwald.

The Miracles continue…

MrM Portrait003 MrM Portrait008       This is a very significant post. I just created my first completely digital sketch using my Wacom Tablet and Sketch Pro 6.00.05.

Thank You to  Arnold A Wood Jr (my dad) for providing this new amaizing tool to create art.

This is a portrait of Mr. Miraculous, both in sketch and full color.

And thank you, as always, to my Muse, Krystal Kinzer. You’re input and insight and love are inspiring!

I love you, Krystal!

MrMx02 001 MrM003 MrMx01 001 MrM007 MrM004   A few weeks ago i posted the first drawing i created of Mr. Miraculous, inspired by my DCU Online character. Today, I bring you a couple of alternate versions of him. 1st up, we have the animated version. This was drawn in the style of the The Batman, an animated series form a number of years ago that had a very unique aesthetic. Next up is the version as I would see him beging drawn by Ed McGuinness. Ed has a very unique style of drawing and has done some amazing work for both DC Comics and Marvel. Lastly, we have a simple portrait…
