From the Archives: Gargoyle

Here is a graphite sketch from some time ago of a gargoyle type creature.  Perhaps this is how some of the inmates of Arkham Asylum perceive Batman...

Featured Creature: The Devil's Square, Scratch

Here we have a loose portrait of Scratch chained in his cage.  Here he's looking kind of sad and more fearful than his usual malicious, but that chain is on him for a reason.

Saturday Sketch: Ferryman and the Dead

In one of his early adventures, Doctor Fate journeys to Hell in search of the soul of Wotan and encounters the Ferryman and a group of the dead.  Doctor Fate bullies the Ferryman into allowing he and Inza to cross the River Styx into Hell.

From the Archives: Devil Head

Here is a quick sketch of a devil's head.  I've always been fond of the design quality of light emitting from within the eyes and mouth of a dark face.

Featured Creature: Devil's Square, Scrag

I'm going to take a break from posting fiction for awhile.  My batteries are running very low and I need to refill.  In the meantime here is the beginning of a set of portraits of The Devil's Square.  I haven't posted much about them in awhile, but I have been working on them in the background.

Saturday Sketch: Classic Wotan

The first time I saw Wotan was in Doctor Fate's origin in Secret Origins #24.  There was something unsettling about his skin tone that frightened me.  I think perhaps I was flashing back to the Wicked Witch of the West.  When I saw the Wizard of Oz as a kid, she scared the crap out of me.  In the More Fun Comics Doctor Fate stories, Wotan seemed to be a charismatic cult leader as well as master sorcerer.

From the Archives: Horned Goblin

I don't remember the exact inspiration for this strange horned goblin.  Considering its fluid physiology, perhaps the creature is in mid transformation into some other form.  I do remember that its gleeful malice was intentional.

Saturday Sketch: Golden Age Kent Nelson

I don't know much about Kent Nelson from the original Doctor Fate stories.  I've always been much more interested in Doctor Fate anyway.  Much like the sketch of Inza Cramer, the fun in this piece was doing the research into vintage clothing and hairstyles.

Exhumed: Floating


I've done several sketches and pieces on this theme of isolated floating within space.  The Original sketch for this piece had a softer tone to so I approached it with that in mind.  I tried to give it a more painterly style and the figure a moon like quality.  This piece has been waiting to be posted for awhile.  This piece is one of several that inspired me to begin doing the Exhumed posts to begin with.
