Wow it's been a while since I posted anything up on my old blog and that's a bad thing I really need to stay on top of it. So these are some layouts I've been working on for a project of my own, which all have the characters taken out of them, sorry. I'm still going strong with the graphic style and really enjoy the results. I hope everyone likes what they see and comments, comments, comments some more. Enjoy.
Super heroes are cool, from cartoons to comic books to movies they have the ability to entertain and inspire, and they did just that to me. I have to say since I was a little kid I would get up extra early on Saturdays to watch Iron Man and the Fantastic Four cartoon on TV. I don’t know why they showed those cartoons so early? But to me, at that age all I knew was that I had to get up and watch them. Over the years of being both entertained and inspired I have drawn these characters countless times to learn how to draw and I owe a lot of my love of art and animation to superheroes, as many of us do. I continue to draw these heroes but not like in the comics, I go for a different look from time to time.
Being an animator has helped me over and over again to explore different styles and expand how things can look different from what people are used too. Taking shapes and changing the look of things so they are familiar but have a style all their own. This was the thought behind turning these very iconic super heroes into my own fan art, simply to celebrate the characters.
The heroes I chose are Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Wolverine, Ironman and the web-slinger himself Spider-Man. These are some of the biggest superheroes in North American culture and possibly around the world which makes them instantly recognizable. I hope you enjoy my interpretation of these classic characters.
ENJOY!
The first image is the cover and actually was posted when I was finishing up the other illustration for the book. The character is the Sennachie, which is similar to a wizard or witch doctor of different cultures.
The Third is the new Sennachie getting married.
This book is all poetry and is a great read, really worth picking up. I will post when the book comes out a let anyone who is interested where to pick it up and the cost. I don’t want to go into too much detail because I like when you’re not given too much information on a book and make it more of a surprise. ENJOY!
