Sketchcards

Finished these two last night.

Hulk Smash!

This was done in watercolor goauche..

Nightcrawler - just a small detour

I took a moment and pulled out a Marvel Masterpiece card I did last year.. Nightwcrawler.. I liked this one.. I fixed the hand on it- it was looking kinda wonky before.

Marvel Masterpieces Round 3: Silver Surfer, Galactus, and Dr. Strange

I've decided to start posting some of my MM's artist sketch cards.. I've already finished them all, but I didn't want to throw them all out at once.

I'll be posting a couple of new one's each week.

*edit* I just realized how badly my monitor is calibrated. I fixed( as best I could) and cleaned up the colors with some levels and curves.

Marvel Masterpiece !! Artist Proof.. Red HULK!!

Here's a Marvel masterpiece artist sketch proof I just got approved.. I started with a drawing on a Studio Revolver car( that I also finshed, as you see), and used that as a study for the final card.

BW Copic markers and then acrylic paints. I haven't used acrylics in a while( been sticking with watercolors lately) so it was like meeting an old friend.

I used to work exclusively with acrylics then jumped to oils (for the experience), and then watercolors(for their speed and easy transport), so I just haven't had a reason to do much with acrylics until now.

I'll be painting all of my artist proofs, and I have some cool ideas in mind already.

Marvel Sketch Cards '08

The paint is still drying on these. Had to do let a few go without adding some "final touches". I guess they're supposed to be "sketches" so I don't feel awful. Still would have liked to add some more "bling" to these guys.

The gang is all here: Marvel Masterpieces

Sketch cards for Upper Deck.. My approach changed quite a bit as I got deeper thru the stack, and I ended up doing the latter cards with marker.. And then I went back and added marker to the first one's I did. I definitely loosened up as I progressed thru the cards.. It was a fun project.
