CAPTAIN MARVEL by Andy Kuhn

This week it's a bit of a Frank Miller homage.

I'm not really sure why.

Thanks for looking.

CAPTAIN MARVEL by Declan Shalvey

SHAZAM!

Never drew Captain Marvel before. Turned out alright. Messed around with turning the grey-wash to halftone and putting it on top of the colourized wash. Looks kinda interesting.

Captain Marvel by Mitch Breitweiesr

I couldn't decide if I like the plain B&W or the color better. Really glad I could get back into the Twart game this week, though. Can't wait to see what Evan has up his sleeve!

Someone told me I was becoming old and slow (Twart wise) so here's a Monday Twart again (long time I had one ;))

Thanks to Ramon for picking up such a funny character: I have beeen fan of the several ITALIAN SPIDERMAN Youtube fake trailers for a while: I love how grammatically incorrect is all the Italian they use in the spots :D
Anyway, hope you dig my little 70s style poster here :)

Cheers,
Francesco

LONE WOLF and CUB by Mr. Hawthorne

A version with the rough pencils visible on my blog.

Best,

LONE WOLF and CUB by Ron Salas

It's still Sunday in the west coast, innit?

I first came across Lone Wolf and Cub through the First Comics editions. It was probably the first manga I ever saw. Immediately I could tell it was something special. The dynamic art by Goseki Kojima and the severe yet nuanced story by Kazuo Koike blew my young mind.

It still does.

LONE WOLF and CUB by Urbanbarbarian

Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima became a part of my consciousnesses thanks to Dark Horse Comics and my affection for Frank Miller's work. Everyone is inspired by someone/something and Frank showed us some of his. I'm grateful.

Lone Wolf & Cub, by Nathan Fairbairn

Okay, I admit that I have never read a Lone Wolf & Cub book, but I figure it's a pretty safe bet that there's a fair amount of this sort of thing going on.

a portrait of a boy and his TERRIBLE father...

And thank you, Dan, for another cool pick :)
(looking forward to meet you in Baltimore in a few days :))

Here is my contribution, fresh from the oven (still hot, watch out ;)), drawn while watching Top Chef (can you tell I like to cook and eat with all these culinary references? ;))
Done on a 5x17 inches board strip.

Definitely click on the image for a better fruition :)

Great pick, Dan! I'm a big fan of the book. Thought I would do something a bit different with the inks this week and went a bit looser and brushier. Hope ya dig it!

LONE WOLF AND CUB by Evan Shaner

This whole cycle has been full of characters I've only been aware of peripherally but really interested in reading. Lone Wolf and Cub is no different. This was a blast to work on, great pick Dan!

You can see the inks without color over at my blog.

LONE WOLF AND CUB by Mitch Gerads

Best Father/Son Work Day Ever!

Another one of those hugely influential books for me. Much like Nexus, I remember the Frank Miller reprint books lying around my brother's bedroom, so obviously "2nd Grader + Samurais + Blood= flipped through every single one of them."

SANDMAN by Urbanbarbarian

I wish there were more comic books out there like Sandman... I also wish I was eating a doughnut right now and watching Deadwood.

SANDMAN by Andy Kuhn

I'm a big fan of Jack Kirby's short lived 1974 Sandman series.

My idea for this drawing was - what if Kirby was the artist on

Neil Gaiman's Sandman series. I'm not sure I pulled it off,

but I sure had fun trying! Thanks for looking.

SANDMAN by Evan Shaner

Or rather, the Legion of Sandmen. I couldn't decide on one to go with so I threw a bunch of them in there.

SANDMAN by Ron Salas

I had a more ambitious one planned but I might not have the time to do it in. We shall see. In the meantime, here's a 6x6 Dream I just finished to accompany my 6x6 Wesley Dodds.

Great pick, Dan!

SANDMAN by Declan Shalvey

With everyone knocking it out of the park this week, I felt I had to up my game and put some thought into this one. Was originally just gonna draw the Sandman on top and keep a long vertical format, but the drawing kept changing quite naturally. Normally I plan a layout in advance but this one developed quite organically on the page.

SANDMAN by tom fowler

EDIT: ... something more substantial...

........







i've been a bit busy lately (what with running from the taxman and everything) so i'm going to cheat slightly and post a commission i did a little while ago as a place-holder until i can commit something a bit more substantial.

cheers.

Thank you, Dan for such a cool pick :)
When choosing which version to draw, it was one of those "duh" moment, you know? ;)
So, ladies and Gents, here's THE SANDMAN! :)

Cheers,
Francesco

SANDMAN by Dan McDaid

I had the idea for this pic even before I knew I was going to select Sandman for this week's TWART. I love Flint Marko, AKA The Sandman. There are a ton of reluctant superheroes out there, but Sandman is one of the few reluctant supervillains - and he sports a wicked Steve Ditko design (incorporating Ditko's trademark cornrows) to boot.

I also did a couple of DC Sandman sketches using the Brushes app for iPod.







I used my finger! It's the future!

EDIT: Following some (gentle) arm-twisting from Ron Salas, I decided to post my warm-up piece as well :)

SANDMAN by Mitch Gerads

The designer in me needed OUT!

Great pick, Dan!

M!TCH

Edit: I think I might even like it better upside down!

SANDMAN by Chris Samnee

I feel like I've drawn Sandman a bunch, so I tried to do something a bit different then what I've done before. Can you find all the Sandmans?

FRANKENSTEIN by Ron Salas

Always liked Frankenstein since I first read the book as a kid. As a result, I could never really accept the James Whale version of the character. Is my drawing really a faithful depiction Frankenstein's monster, though? You be the judge.
