Son of Satan

Sort of Halloween’ish.
I didn’t have reference at home, so failing memory resulted in the neckline looking more Doctor Strange than true to character.
Better luck next time.

NightCrawler and Moonboy


Another evening of margaritas with BD, this time joined by Tom from Amazing Toys gives us this drawing.

Nightcrawler was more suggested as a drawing (something bound to habit if 'a drawing from the evening' theme continues, but kind of kills spontaneity) rather than a subject that came up, so I added Moonboy, whose fine coiffedness did come up in the ramblings of the night.

Living in the Land of the Lost

Another margarita laden meeting (this time mango flavoured) with BD resulted in another-drawing-that-normally-wouldn’t-happen (the first being the Star Wars thing).


Isn’t CNN the most nauseating thing on TV?


The gist of this ‘comic’ is What Happens During the Commercial Breaks.

The last panel is Land of the Lost’s Cha-ka saving us all, after first tearing out Wolf Blitzer’s femoral artery, Cha-ka provides *the* “last word in Sunday talk”.


[Cha-ka has always been keen on POOF (Pursuing Opportunities Outside the Firm)]

Malekith (the Accursed)


Reeling in the years and rereading some of the classic Thor comics from the mid 80s spawned this…

Malekith (the Accursed)

Created by Walt Simonson 1984

Quality comics. Looking around the ‘nets I see this character really hasn’t been used too much. Some potential there…

Spider-Man


A Spider-Man request which will be sent to Brazil (along with the 3 latest issues of Stuart Immonen’s Ultimate Spider-Man, so the poor kid can see the way Spider-Man is *supposed* to be drawn).

Colouring was an experiment with Caran d’Ache’s Neo Color II.



And yeah, that left arm is wonky. I liked anyway. For a short time.

Tusken Raider & Jawa

jawa, tusken raider

I’m not a fan of Star Wars stuff, but after one margarita too many, for some reason, it/they came into the conversation.

So there you go.

If I learned one thing from drawing this it’s: desert inhabitants love their pouches.

Hobgoblin


When colouring it dawned on me that doing the Green Goblin is kind of a 2-for-1 deal…
