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: Original Dagger
Here we have Dagger casting her purifying light knives. I drew her partner Cloak earlier in 2014. Although Cloak and Dagger first appeared in Peter Parker the Spectacular Spiderman, I first read them in there own series. I've always loved the tragic duo. Despite the exact origin of their powers, there is something magical in in the manifestation of their powers and the themes the two characters represent.

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: Original Moon Knight
Here we have the original Moon Knight as he first appeared in Werewolf By Night. I've always enjoyed how Moon Knight looks a bit like the iconic American ghost image. With his covered face and mostly white costume, he has always had an otherworldly aura to me. This version of his costume was fun to research as before I drew this piece I was mostly familiar with the version from the Bill Sienkiewicz run in the 80's.

Saturday Sketch: Bronze Age Werewolf By Night
During this November I'm going to focus on comic book werewolves. November has always been a kind of werewolf-y month to me. The extremes of hot and cold as we all try to find balance within winter's approaching chill have always reminded me of the traditional werewolf transformation.
Here we have Werewolf By Night from Marvel Comics. I never read much of WWBN's book but I always enjoyed his appearances elsewhere. I've also always had a soft spot for Marvel's supernatural characters.

Saturday Sketch: Bronze Age Samhain
Sorry for the delay on this one. Things kind of got backed up this Halloweekend.
Here we have the druid form of Samhain from the first Vision and the Scarlet Witch limited series. His spirit has been trapped in the Druid Tome and was released on All Hallow's Eve. The Scarlet Witch destroyed the tome and banished his spirit.

Saturday Sketch: Lord Pumpkin
Lord Pumpkin was a villain from the now defunct Malibu comics Ultraverse. I've never read any stories with him in them, but how could I resist the devilish figure of mayhem he presents!

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: Original Jack O'Lantern
To celebrate the Halloween season, all of my Saturday Sketches for this month will have some kind of connection to to the darksome holiday. This week we have Jason Macendale, the Original Jack O'Lantern. He first appeared in Machine Man #19, but later became a regular Spider-man villain.
It wasn't until I began research for this piece that I found out he originated in Machine Man. The first time I saw this character way back in Amazing Spider-man #254, I immediately wanted more. He has a flaming Jack o'lantern head! What's not to love?! I do have to admit a certain amount of inspiration from this character for Jack, the villainous force behind last year's Night of the Cauldron.

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.

Here is a second sketch and the final piece of my Golden Age Doctor Fate set. There are several characters from the early stories that I haven't addressed. I may add them to the set later, but for the time being this is the last.

Saturday Sketch: Mango the Mighty
Here we have one of Doctor Fate's early adversaries, Mango the Mighty. Although his name doesn't exactly inspire fear, this sorcerer was murdering people with globes of fire before the Doctor finally shows up. Mango also summons a horde of angry undead, the Legions of the Styx, to fight for him against the Doctor but in the end he loses. Of course.
