Saturday Sketch: Doctor Destiny

John Dee, Doctor Destiny, has always been one of my favorite DC villains.  Destiny was one of the earliest enemies of the Justice League of America.  I've always found his hooded skeletal visage especially creepy.

Saturday Sketch: Bloodwynd

Here we have Bloodwynd, from Dan Jurgens' run on Justice League.  I've never had much interest in the character, but he is a magic user in the DCU and I did have fun drawing him.

Saturday Sketch: Silver Age White Witch

Until I began doing research for this piece, I was unaware that Mysa Nal, the White Witch from the Legion of Superheroes, had a different appearance previous to her early 80's albino look.

Saturday Sketch: Mervyn Pumpkinhead

Second amongst this month's Halloween themed Saturday Sketches, we have Mervyn Pumpkinhead from the pages of Sandman.  I've always like Mervyn.  There's just something about a smart mouthed cigarette smoking pumpkinheaded scarecrow!

Saturday Sketch: Silver Age Cain

Here is Cain from the House of Mystery.  I first met Cain and his brother Abel in the early issues of Sandman, but they both appeared long before.  Doing my research for this piece I never realized that Berni Wrightson was so involved with the House of Mystery.  I also did not realize that it was such a long running title.  I've got some back issue tracking to do.  :-)

Also, this piece is much larger than the normal Saturday Sketches.  I was in a groove when I began working on it and before I realized the size difference I was mostly finished.  So this one isn't sketchcard size.

Saturday Sketch: Classic Joker

A quickie of DC Comics clown prince of crime, The Joker.  I've always been fond of the creepy combination of clownish vulgarity and psychopathic unpredictability present in the Joker.  When he shows up, it is always trouble.  I'm glad I don't live in Gotham City.

Saturday Sketch: Classic Morpheus

Here we have DC Comics' Dream King, Morpheus.  I started out drawing this in a very standard comic book style, but half way through, Morpheus took over and everything became much more muted and lyrical.

Saturday Sketch: Classic Etrigan

I've always been fond of DC Comics Demon, Etrigan.  I was first introduced to him in Matt Wagner's limited series in the early 80's. It wasn't until much later that I read some of the Kirby stories.  It is always a dark treat whenever Etrigan shows up.  He's nothing but trouble.

Exhumed: DC Comics Manhunter

I'm angling more and more of work towards comic book themes and imagery with the Saturday Sketch and other future posts.  Although this piece does not specifically have a horror theme or imagery, I wanted to share it for the coloring aspect.  I promise next time we will return to our previously scheduled horror.  :-)
