World’s Finest by Howard Porter, with My Inks and Colors.

variant for Thor, Vol. 2 # 01, as penciled by John Romita, Jr., and I - Ungoliantschilde.Tumblr.com - inked it this morning.

Almost 10 years and I still like this one.

a costume design proposal used for Genis-Vell (Mahr-Vell’s Son), in Captain Marvel, Vol. 4*, Penciled by Alex Ross, with Inks, Edits, and Colors by ME from the past few days.

-there are two green versions because the first is my original colors over a white background, using a green highlighter from my bag. the second version is a grayscale photocopy, recolored with the same marker, which gave the green a more muted and smokey color.

-After the color version, I wanted to try to make my own version of a star field, along with a version of the Captain Marvel chest-symbol, creating my desired effect of a split-image background. I might eventually do more with it.

-after I did the initial inks (the second image down), I began playing with transparencies and inversions. In all of the cases with a star field, I made the original image transparent, and then pasted it onto photos of the Hubble Deep Field.

-the last image is in an inverse version of the original inks, cropped and overlaid onto an image of a nebula, and then I painted it with with a White-Out White Brush, some White Paint Pens, White Gel-Ink pens, Black Pilot-Gel Ink pens, some assorted black pens and markers, a Black Micron Brush-Tip Marker, and a Metallic Gold Sharpie. I am artistically bored with this image at the moment, but I may revisit Genis-Vell in the coming weeks.

-All of the images were edited with MS Paint and MS Picture Editor. All of the images were printed in grayscale on computer paper. I do not use a light-box when I am inking, because on top of all of my work stuff it is a lot to carry around. Printing out penciled images and removing stuff I don’t want from the finished version with either white-out, or as is far more often case, the initial drawings are edited with MS Paint and other MS Windows basic image software. I am printing and doing these edits in between answering emails and so forth, and I am doing it while sitting in a computer lab in my office.

Captain America Annual, Vol. 1 # 08, illustrated in Pencil by Mike Zeck, with Inks by John Beatty, and Colors by Phil Zimelman.

The color on the new version is too much IMO.

The poster? Yeah, that’s high gloss paper for you. The newsprint colors are washed out enough to look more natural, but they would look like shit at poster size. The poster version looks better in person too. Seen a couple here and there. That crappy, thin, glossy rolled paper that posters are usually made of makes the lurid colors pop like they should.

my Inks and Colors, from 2015, I think.

Mike Zeck is a guy who would absolutely explode in popularity if he was producing today. Dude is so, so good. It’s crazy how good he is. And social media sleeps on him. Give Zeck some love.

My Inks, from 2015.

Joker by David Finch, with My (unfinished) Inks.

To me, he shouldn’t be a skinny, cracked out whacko. He’s a fop. A dandy. A prize fighter with a delicate and particular sense of style. He’s a pimp with the frame and body of a UFC Heavyweight. He powders his cheeks and rouges his lips like a dandy. Feather boas, mink coats, brass knuckles, .357 magnums, and lots and lots of amphetamines cut on porno magazine covers with switchblade knives.

And his darling. His dance partner. The grimacing silver spoon little lord Fauntleroy that dresses like Dracula. How better to shame the sad little rich boy that wants to fix the world than to dress like the most obnoxiously, contemptuously over the top clown. How better to show Gotham who the real joke is than to shame the joke with satire and bloody fists.

And no purple and clowns. Black. Black like an undertaker. A grinning pallbearer for a failed city that failed him and failed the little rich boy. That keeps failing the sad little rich boy and his sad little rich boy friends. Burn it all down and smile.

First of all, your inks keep improving.

Second: Joker is an all time great villain. While I agree on many of your points there are subtleties I disagree. Joker is not quite sane. Most people have stops, limits, they paise due to fitting to norms or consequences. They have lines uncrossed and sense of self-preservation. They have method to their madness. Joker has the madness.

Having worked at construction Batman has the weight lifter bodybuilder Set, doing safe, effective workouts for strenght and agility. Like some guys at construction sites he knows what he can lift and improve that methodologically. They also tire and try to protect themselves. Joker just goes for it. And same in their fights. Batman knows rules and multiple martial arts. Joker is like from James Crumley book " so, they are bigger, stronger and trained in karate. Bet they do not expect a bite in the balls"

Wiry or buff main point is walking chaotic nightmare. But indeed with his DNA from" the Man who Laughs" intact ( the old black and white movie with Conrad Veidt)

Because there is absolutely nothing funny about a clown in the moonlight

Not necessarily buff, just big enough that he can be appear to be a physical threat when he’s unarmed. He’s crazy, but he can collect and he can run a heist. He can go into the iceberg and broker a deal for guns. Everyone knows he’s unpredictable and dangerous, but there is a method to him. He doesn’t lift weights or do cardio, he’s just been beating up and killing anyone he wants to for so long that he is quite good at it. I don’t like seeing him looking like a skinny mental patient. I like seeing him as a legitimate physical threat.

I like seeing him dressed in black, with fancy touches of color. A black tuxedo coat with a deep plum silk lining, with pinstriped pants and a waist coat with a pocket watch. He’s a dandy. Rides around in a white El Dorado with leopard skin seats. Spats on his shoes. He applies the white powder to his cheeks himself, and puts on the lipstick to complete the effect. He’s dapper in a flamboyant way. He’s vain and he enjoys his appearance. Gold bracelets. White leather gloves. Top hats, stick cane with a hidden sword, and every pocket has amphetamines packets, hallucinogen tabs, knives, and bullets.

And thank you for your steadfast encouragement of my artwork!
