NICK FURY by Chris Samnee

I couldn't possibly have been more jazzed when I heard that Mitch's pick for this week was sixties era Nick Fury. No offense to any of Fury's other incarnations over the years but the sixties stuff is what really speaks to me. I dare you to find a cooler comic. Great pick, Mr. Gerads! :D

Man, it's been awhile! Sorry about that Twartists! I've been swamped with work but I've been loving these art posts! Simply amazing and inspiring! That said, I must issue an apology for this illustration. It hardly compares to those below. Still.... How can a man NOT draw Nick Fury? I blame all of you.

NICK FURY by Evan Shaner

Much like Mitch, a 1960's Nick Fury book is a dream project for me (and at least a couple of other guys in the group). I had a blast working on this one, great pick Mitch!

60's NICK FURY by Ron Salas

I'm going to be painting this but I wanted to post this version for this week's twart because I think there's something there that I might not be able to translate in a more finished version.

Great pick, M!tch :D

I usually don't like to post "old" stuff in here, but since it's allowed to have place holders - and since I am having quite a busy week with work and the GIANT ROBOTS thing over my blogs - I thought to share one of the most fun (and elaborated) commission I have done.
This was for Michael Finn's "One Minute Later" series, where he commissions artists to draw what happens to the action on famous covers, well, one minute later ;)
I had the privilege to choose my own cover to tribute, and I decided to go with (my good friend and mentor and comics modern master) Jim Steranko's cover for Nick Fury #7

Above is what I thought it would happen a minute later ;) (in the order, rough sketch, pencils, inks, washes, and colors)

Again, this is a place holder: I am working on an actual 2 strip story for this week jam, so stay tuned for it.
Hope you guys enjoy it :)

Cheers,
Francesco

1960's NICK FURY by Mitch Gerads

So this week at ComicTWART was my pick and you might notice I got kind of specific with it. The reason for that is I used my week here to live out my ultimate dream book/project.

A 1960's set, period spy book, starring Nick Fury has been that "Ultimate Dream Gig" for a good long while now. A Nick Fury story set in the sixties where Fury is a field agent working in this world of super heroes all in the background, all kinds of James Bond-ian awesome.

I picked Jim McCann as my dream gig writer for two reasons. 1. His books are so clean, clear, fun, and they read like a good character TV program (Seriously, pick up "Hawkeye and Mockingbird" if you haven't already) and 2. He's a huge Burn Notice fan, which as far as mood goes is exactly what I picture.

I honestly could go on about this for pages and you guys just want to see everyone's pretty art. If you ever need to kill time at a convention, find me and ask about this, ha!

M!TCH

NICK FURY by Declan Shalvey

I think I got a bit ahead of myself. I've been neglecting my Twart duties of late, so I jumped right on this week's pick; Nick Fury. Although, it was actually 60s Nick Fury, which i didn't *really* do. Sorry. I got confused about the rules!
