Creating a Graphic Novel : Art – Food – Photography

Randy Valiente is a comicbook artist, illustrator and concept artist from Manila, Philippines who enjoys graphic novels and mountain climbing, trekking, and other nature tripping in his free time. He also does the most extraordinary artwork! What type of artwork do you specialise in? I came from a traditional Filipino style in comicbook art. I […]

Getting the chance to meet Tim Sale was awesome already! Managing to obtain a couple of sketches was the icing on the cake. In the previous post, I sent one of the sketches to a friend of mine. His response to receiving the sketch is here : Link to response Tim Sale’s autograph in my […]

A continuation from the previous post, I like this one! Peter finally get’s one up from Flash and displays a little of the Parker sense of humour that we all know and love!

The “Parker” luck again. This time he misses the chance to take Mary Jane trick or treating. Love the movie reference to Mary Jane’s costume.

From yesterday’s post with Adam Braun, I thought I’d also showcase his Ms Marvel work. The highlights in her hair are simply amazing. Sketch : Coloured :

Horror movie buff Adam Braun does some of the most realistic artwork I’ve seen. Adam’s showcase piece is a Kirsten Dunst inspired Mary Jane sketch. When did you get interested in art? I’ve always been interested in art. I started drawing as a kid, usually copying pictures from comic books. I didn’t get serious about […]

Ahh . . Halloween . . costumes and candy! I’d rather like this one, as kids I think we were more innovative and ingenious. If you couldn’t buy it, you’d make it.
