DEATHLOK



I was showing these pages to my friend Alicia, and she said that in every pack of trading cards she ever bought as a kid, she would never get any of the popular, cool characters, but alas, always get at lease one deathlok per pack. I think the same thing happened to me. I think deathlok is kinda cool and enjoy drawing him, because I love drawing stuff that is all decaying and gross looking. So i'd take a character like him any day over someone all grecian and statuesque. These pages were a lot of fun to draw due to the high velocity nature of them -- and motorcycles! definitely need to draw more motorcycles! you should too!

Daredevil Samples






With this new batch, I've been trying to focus on some things that I feel are my weaknesses, such as believable perspective and interior shots. I think these two things look better than ever in terms of my work, so I'm pretty pleased. In retrospect, this was probably a bad script to work from. The writer, Brian Michael Bendis, used a lot of cutting back and forth between reality and memory, which forced me to patch together the script to make some coherent samples. Next time, I'm just going to choose something that has more straightforward and simple storytelling, to make it easier on both myself and the viewer. Enjoy. Comments and criticism welcome, as always.
