GETTING BACK ON THE HORSE

Well here I go again coming back from a hiatus that I hadn't intended.

Oh, I've been busy with Outcast Studios--trying to help keep it up and running as the forum seems to have lost some of it's finest regulars.  Drawing the occasional thing here or there, but nothing consistent or challenging enough to give back any returns in improvement to my skills or whatever.

But that's about to change!  Or so I hope.

I'll be up to my old tricks with a few commissions I've been postponing and that should lead me back to the path of improvement again.

We'll see, well, I'll see and if it's any good at all I'll certainly share it with you good people here.

In the meantime, a bunch of stuff I think will be new here:

Hulk VS Blackbolt for all the Marvels

Bucky shooting up the joint as Winter Soldier

Rose Red being romanced by Boy Blue (and they don't just call him blue because he's sad)

The Inhumans' elemental lass Crystal...

And a digital sketch of Dan Simmons' The Shrike or at least how I pictured him this time around.

Well that's all for now,

so don't be a stranger and I'll try to be even more strange than usual...

MORE DOODLES TO AMUSE

ATOMIC ROBO, my first time drawing this fine fellow and I wanted to work on shadow.

A redesign of the Great Machine from Ex Machina, more in the mode of the AKIRA anime.

Panthro of the THUNDERCATS, more shadow work and that background was also a focus.


BUCKY doing his best to smash the Nazi war machine one goose-stepper at a time.

(as always, click what you want to see for a closer look)

BUCKY BARNES SHOOTS NAZIS FOR SPORT

A short break from the alphabetical sketches to bring you a peek into the forthcoming THE FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA film. A few more photos have made their way out of the secret files of the Allies...

Here we see the look Bucky will have in the film.


Now a note as to what what purpose Bucky serves in the mythos of Captain America. In CAPTAIN AMERICA COMICS, James "Bucky" Barnes was the cheerleader for Cap, for sure. He was the classic sidekick, certainly. A great partner to Captain Amercia, but, first and foremost, he was a Nazi killing machine!


And, frankly, he was pretty liberal in his killing ways. He had few qualms when it came to dispatching foes during wartime and sometimes neither did Captain America:



And just who is this shadowy figure?
