Creating a Graphic Novel : Art – Food – Photography

Last week I offered a sneak peek at this year’s Zatanna birthday sketch. The full image will be showcased tomorrow, so keep watching this site. As a special I thought I would put last year’s birthday sketch as the lock screen for the iPhone. Enjoy!

I recently featured a Spider-Man by Paul Mason, here’s the second piece I had commissioned. Unfortunately I have to give it Wolverine it really came down to a no holds barred, beat down rumble. Logan would go straight for the jugular (literally) and ole’ Peter wouldn’t really stand much of chance!

The most recent comic convention had people dressed as Harley Quinn but it was also a great chance to meet Australian artist Paul Mason. Got this awesome Spider-Man sketch from him complete with spaghetti webbing! (The term spaghetti webbing was dubbed by Tom DeFalco during McFarlane’s run on Amazing Spider-Man.)

Another impressive showcase by previous featured artist Sara Richard. As I mentioned before the linework is absolutely stunning! Love the details, like the fish in the bottom right corner.

A great Zatanna showcase by Pasquale Qualano, I think the rabbit was a very cute touch. Checking through previous posts, it seems like Zatanna is one of the favourite characters to be done. How do you think this piece compares to the previous artists’ representations?

For Christmas, I managed to sneak in one of Pasquale’s artwork. Now I have the opportunity of posting up more, showcasing his works on The One. His preliminary sketch is brilliant, capturing the movement of the horse as the rider pulls back on the reins. The final colours are muted but excellent.

An impressive Wolverine showcase to start off 2010 with pencils by Ryan Benjamin with inks and colours done by previous featured artist Adam Cline. Love the dynamic angle of the sketch (looks like he’s just about to pounce into a fight) and the colouring is superb!

Thought I’d provide a better picture of the Supergirl work I received from Frank Kadar. Enjoy and wishing everyone a very Happy New Year’s eve! Would love to hear about what happened to end out 2009 for you? Nothing too exciting planned on my end, although I’m planning to catch the firework celebrations.

Still have a [...]
