More amazing work from Frank Kadar for the 2011 Marvel Universe Card Set. The card set has 90 amazing cards with one hand drawn coloured sketch card per box! Frank (shadowchaser076 [at] yahoo.com) still has Artist Proofs for sale so email him if you are interested. Thought I’d showcase two amazing Spider-Mans. Was never a big fan of the Tony Stark design, always reminded of a variant of the Iron-Man armour right down to the colour scheme.
Thought this was cool enough to showcase! Not sure who to credit this one to but if you are the original creator, I’ll update this post with the correct acknowledgment. Until then, “Keep Calm and Call Batman“.
Update :
Found the creator (or rather she found this site). Thank you Gaila for this very cool piece!
A rare opportunity to get some original artwork from World of Flashpoint pencilled by Eduardo Francisco and inked by Alex Lei. The original art pages measure 11″ x 17″ and showcase amazing artwork as well as recognisable characters like Flash, Batman and the original Justice League. Bid high and bid often!
Click on the respective picture to be taken to the corresponding eBay auction. If I have the spare $$, I would be bidding on the page 16. Very nicely laid out with Flash running in the foreground as Aquaman and Wonder Woman battle in the background!
2012 is shaping up to be a fantastic year for comic book movies with three big releases Avengers, Batman – The Dark Knight Rises and the new Amazing Spider-Man. The latest Avengers trailer has been released and it looks amazing with snapshots at all the main characters. It looks like Tony Stark will be stealing all the best lines! Can’t wait for this one to be released.
Featured artist Frank Kadar is showcasing the colouring on his amazing Batman – Arkham Asylum piece with notable villains from Batman’s Rogues Gallery. The sketch was completed almost 2 years ago and is really brought to life with the stunning colours!
Original Sketch :
Initial Colouring :
Harley Quinn :
I’m a bigger fan of Harley in the Jester costume but she looks pretty fine dressed as a nurse in this picture.
Poison Ivy :
Joker :
The trick with the Joker is in the eyes. He needs those crazy, sadistic eyes to make him menacing otherwise he’s really just another guy with clown facepaint. Frank really nailed the eyes in this piece!
Final :
The final result is amazing, Frank manages to integrate the blacks with the bright colours of the villains’ costumes. Although Batman has the centre position, it’s the rogues who takes the centre stage! When I first saw the original artwork I thought it was fantastic but am blown away by the extra dimension the colours add.
If you like his work, Frank currently has some FULL COLOUR SKETCH CARD Commissions on eBay. This is a great opportunity to own an original piece of his artwork. It’s a rare chance, so make sure you get in quick with Frank!
Since it’s been a while since my last update, I decided to combine several posts I had been working on into one long post covering a range of different topics. The posts should be a little more regular as things get a little more on track but in the mean time, enjoy!

And finally, it’s new TV Season!
With that the return of the regulars like The Big Bang Theory, Fringe and the one I’m most excited with Supernatural. This picks up from the Season 6 cliffhanger where Castiel absorbs the souls from Purgatory to gain a lot of power. This first episode of the season opens various plotline including the new villain Leviathan (not your typical monster of the week), Sam’s wall in his head breaking down and maybe (just maybe) the return of Lucifer.
This episode shows the return of Death in an effort to stop Castiel. Wonder who the “hottie” will be for this seaon. It was Julia Maxwell playing the “Mother of All” in Season 6.
Previous featured artist Dean Juliette has recently relaunced his website. The website has heaps of sexy pin-ups (2009, 2010 and 2011) as well as his sequential works from Nazi Werewolves From Outer Space and Grimm Fairy Tales # 27: Tree Blind Mice. Be sure to check it out!
