Captain Marvel and Thanos

captain-marvel thanos

Starting to do a few of these smaller 5″x7″ish sized ink and watercolor paintings. I thought it could be fun to do some different type of characters from all different kinds of media. Today’s paintings are of two Marvel Comics characters, Captain Marvel and his arch foe, Thanos.
Captain Marvel is character that died in the early 1980s, is one of my favorite characters. And is also one of the few heroes that has not been brought back from the dead. He died from cancer and not by the hands of a villain, in The Death of Captain Marvel graphic novel.
Thanos is one of the most powerful villains in the Marvel universe and in the 90’s was causing many a problem for the characters in Marvel. And, that is what is ramping up in the next 2 Avengers movies.
Both of these paintings are for sale, $30 each or both for $50.

Apocalypse

Apocolypse

Wrapping up this week of X-Men, with our fourth character, Apocalypse.   He is the big baddie of the new film, X-Men: Apocalypse.  He is a time travelling Egyptian God who wants to take over the world.  Just another day at the office for the X-Men.  In the movie he is played by Oscar Isaac.  The final version of this piece was drawn with ink and painted in Photoshop.

Here is the line art-

Magneto

Magneto

Day 3 of X-Men characters from the movie universe brings us to good guy/bad guy, the master of magnetism, Magneto.  He is portrayed by Michael Fassbender in the last 3 films.  His constant flip flopping from evil to good is not just a movie thing, this is also the way he has been portrayed in the comic books.  To me, Magneto will always be on the side of evil and I think he works best that way.  He is such a good bad guy because his reasons for doing the “wrong” things is completely understandable.  You can empathize with his way of thinking.  And I never felt the movies gave us a Magneto who you believe really wanted to make the world pay for the ways humans treat the mutant population.  That aside, I think Michael Fassbender does a great job.

Here is the drawing pre-Photoshop coloring:

Mystique

Mystique

Here is X-men number 2 for this week, Mystique.  While she was a bit player in the world of mutants, in the comics, the movie universe has changed that.  The other big change was her look.  While always blue, she was not so naked or scaley.  This is a painting on illustration board and with gouache paint.  For the next X-Men character we will be going away from the traditional painting and go into the digital paint world.

Wolverine

Wolverine

In preparation for seeing the new X-Men movie today, I decided to do some quick portraits of some of the characters from the more recent films. And how do you not start off with the top X-character, Wolverine? For me he is the best character in these films. Hugh Jackman plays Wolverine perfectly for me. He can play him as a crazed killer and bring it right back to guy who can drop a funny one liner and it all works. Wolverine isn’t really in the comics anymore so this is the one place I can still get my fix.
This painting was start to finish about an hour long and was painted with gouache paint on illustration board. It is 8″x8″.
I filmed the whole process and should have a speed painting video to share with everyone soon.

Figure Drawing Fridays-Week 1

Figure 5_27bFigure 5_27a

decided to start a new theme for Friday and that is Figure Drawing Fridays. The goal will be to draw a male and female each week. Any style or media goes. Last night I worked on these two with ink and markers.  As I started to prepare to draw, I decided to look at some books of two artists I really admire, Frank Cho and Adam Hughes.  They are both known for their comic book artwork and for their skills at drawing the female form.  And that put me in the kind of head space I wanted to try for this week’s figures.  I am very inspired by Adam’s use of markers and that is what had me reaching for my markers for these two pieces.
