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.

Psyche Delectus: Aetherengineer

In the mindforge,
psychotoxins are broken down 
and immunechanisms integrate
the new coping code that remains.

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.
