Here we have the ancient Egyptian Lord of Order, Nabu the Wise, as he appeared in Doctor Fate's Origin in More Fun Comics #67. I've always been fascinated by the symbiotic relationship between Nabu and Kent Nelson as the Doctor.

Saturday Sketch: The Fish-Men of Nyarl-Amen
In his early adventures, Doctor Fate encountered the Fish-men of Nyarl-Amen with their electro-dart-shooting tridents.

Saturday Sketch: Norn Giant
Here we have a Norn Giant from one of Doctor Fate's early adventures. These guys are several stories tall. I made him appear more angry than the giants appear in the original strip. I also neutralized the colors just a tad to make them more palatable.

Saturday Sketch: Original Darkchylde
Closing in on the end of the Magik set, here we have Illyana Raputin the first time she manifests as the Darkchylde. Shortly after manifesting her Soulsword, Illyana battles Belasco and morphs into her Darkchylde aspect. This aspect of Illyana goes through several variations during the run of the character. I'll be looking at those later on.

Saturday Sketch: Wolverine's Skeleton
I hadn't planned on exploring this as a sketch, but as things kept moving with the Magick set, I figured I owed it to Wolvy. He doesn't actually appear in Magik, but he does show up in the Uncanny X-Men #160 issue that leads into the limited series. He only appears for a couple of pages at the foot of Belasco's throne but I feel that any dead X-Man deserves remembrance. His corpse doesn't hold the same emotional impact as Colossus' from the previous sketch, but the fleshless bones of Wolverine are a omen of doom all their own.

Saturday Sketch: Limbo Colossus
Here is another of the set from the Marvel Comics Magik limited series. To me, this was one of the most horrific elements of the origin of Magik. Frightened and lost, young Illyana Rasputin comes face to face with the corpse of her older brother Peter Rasputin, the X-men's Colossus. Killed by the demon S'ym, his body was left imbedded in the walls of Belasco's fortress.

Saturday Sketch: Limbo Shadowcat
Here we are continuing the set of the Marvel Comics characters in the Magik limited series. This is the Shadowcat who was left behind in Limbo and initially saves Illyana Raputin from Belasco, but in the end meets a terrible fate. I placed her in the landscape where we see her most in the limited series, the warped desert wastelands of Limbo.

Saturday Sketch: Classic Stepping Discs
Here's another in the Magik set. I hadn't really planned on giving this one it's own post, but the stepping discs play a fairly pivotal role in the tale of Illyana Rasputin.

Saturday Sketch: Belasco's Citadel
There are very few shots of Belasco's citadel within the issues of the Marvel Comics limited series Magik. Drawn by several different artists, each version they drew of the citadel was different. I took several images of the citadel as reference and married them all together.

Saturday Sketch: Classic Soulsword
Here is a second object of power for the Saturday Sketches, the Soulsword. I hadn't planned on drawing this as a Saturday Sketch or next week's piece either. However, after missing one Saturday Sketch, I just couldn't bring myself to leave another Saturday empty during the hiatus. Also, these two pieces were fun to draw.

Saturday Sketch: Limbo Storm
Here we have the next character in the set from the Magik limited series from Marvel Comics. This image is of the elderly Storm trapped in Limbo. Her powers waning from age, Ororo used her powers as sorceress to combat the corruption of Belasco's influence.

Saturday Sketch: Limbo Nightcrawler
I've decided to do an entire set around the characters involved in the Magik limited series from Marvel Comics. Here we have the Nightcrawler left in Limbo who was corrupted by Belasco's influence and became his evil slave.

Saturday Sketch: Classic Bloodstone Medallion
Here is my first object of power for the Saturday Sketches, the bloodstone medallion. Belasco used the bloodstones to bind Illyana Rasputin to his evil intentions. I've rendered it as it appeared at the end of the Marvel Comics limited series, Magik, with three of the five bloodtsones in place.
