X-MEN #1 Sketch Covers

Brian Denham — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 04:33:08 +0000

I had a lovely Thursday. I Drove out to Dallas to draw on sketch covers of X-Men #1 at Lone Star Comics. There was a pretty decent turn-out despite the rain. The wonderful staff had X-Men cupcakes at the ready, vampire teeth and free drinks. I sat down at 2pm and finished drawing on the sketch covers at 8pm. My cell phone died toward the end of the day and I was not able to get pics of a few of the sketches I drew. Here are as many as I could take pictures of. The rest of the covers are going to be emailed to me and I’ll share those later.

Thanks to everyone who came out. I had a great time.

A recent commission of Captain America in WW2. I drew him sporting the costume designs for the upcoming movie. I am so excited for that movie to come out.

AQUAMAN

Here’s a shot of Aquaman. I’m still adding to my portfolio. I thought it would be fun to do some character pin-up shots just to get a feel for drawing them. I know the poses may be boring but I will start playing around with action shots soon enough. These are the calm moments before the storm.

BATMAN

Enter The Zombie lineart

Here’s the lineart for the Enter The Zombie comic cover. The book will be in stores in August 2010 from Antarctic Press.

From sketch to completed inks the lineart was drawn in Adobe Illustrator CS5. The logo was created by me in program.

What do you think?

Enter The Zombie

I did this crazy cover for my buddies at Antarctic Press. The book will ship in August.

You may see a familiar name doing the interior.

What do you think? We are tweaking the colors a bit, but this is the nearly-completed piece.

HULK commish

I drew this commission for Curious Goods & Comics. Requested during the 2010 Houston Comicpalooza.

All gray tones and hand lettering by me. It was fun to do something like this. I went for a little more caricaturization than my usual chiaroscuro influenced style.

What do you think?

The ARGONAUTS

I pitched this concept art to Wildstorm in 2008. The basic premise involved the Argonauts assembling in modern times to stop Jason’s ex-wife, the sorceress Medea.

My favorite character was Perseus, one of the ancient heroes. His curse was to secure the head of Medusa. He can’t let her go. She is a constant nag and became somewhat of a motherly figure to him. He wears tennis shoes that allow him to fly and his hood allows him to turn invisible. He’s very disturbed and quite the emo.

The giant in the back is a Cyclops inventor named Brontes. He was one of three Cyclopes supposedly killed by Apollo.

The cute girl in the foreground left is a Harpy.

One of Hercules’ daughter is lifting the smart car.

Jason wields a magical shield.

The Argo is a Thunderbird style ship and Zeus lives as a businessman in Olympus tower.

There is also a character on a hover bike in the back left who was the only female serving on Jason’s Greek crew, Atalanta.

I had a lot of fun creating the characters and situations. It got a little watered down in the process and ultimately would have come off as derivative with so much other Greek legend stories coming out at the same time.

Maybe another time–
