The ORIGINAL Frankster's Files!!!

[The Frankster]

Today i had nuthin to do this way i figured i kick in some drawing time plus i promised a co-worker a sketch for hsi daughter so i drew spider-woman now i drew my 1st one now it was nice but one problem.....awful pose....I mean u need an action pose or a typicla pose for a super hero.  So i remembered i pulled a pose from supergirl to do a flying pose and i think this worked for the better. Actually this turned out to be a li'l better than the one i did that I shown on page 6 of Frankster's files.

Yea I gave that sketch away last thursday.....

today I colorized it:

;p

Ana of course.... funny thing is how this sketch came together I told Billy I wanted something like this:


So I came back later on and i find it like u saw it before and I asked what happened and he sed "Some hot girl looked at him weird for drawing Ana nekked so he fixed it up in that procedure.

I really enjoyed thar USM Spider-Man Annual #1 story soooo much that I just had to draw this picture of Ultimate Marvel's newest and hottest couple.

              Kitty Pryde & Peter Parker: Spider-Man
                           August 2005

You Know come to think of it.....It actually looks like the classic Ultimate Spider-Man covers with the photo backgrounds.

Well i hope everyone enjoyed my sketches cauz it's the last you'll see of them for a while. No, I'm not gonna give up a drawing. Just like a good magician who doesnt real all his secret a good artist doesnt reveal all his drawings. I will show you some once in a while but I hopeyou enjoyed it all.
Looks liek it's back to class for me Monday.

Thanks cauz these next 2 years I would consider the most important years of learning. I will learn albout the basics and the business of Illustration, and maybe follow in our founder of this site's footsteps. (well so far just liek Billy went to FIT and worked at Madison Square Garden well only difference between that is that IO wokred in the Arena and he worked in the Sports store outside the main entrance)

[The Frankster]

Hey everyone thre Frankster here is back I just had to deal with 3 days in school. Well today the most unusual happened in My Book Illudtrstion class an unexpected guest popped in caux he happens to be good friends with my professor. It was a sober Mark Texiera.  We talked about 40 minutes after my class was over and he' be there every week and he sed he'd help me qand give me some pointers.

[The Frankster]

the other day i talked to Texiera again in my book illustration class and apparently he wants me to start from square one and draw a buncha heads in diferent positions which he will critique me on next thursday.

Here are my awesome sketches I got from the Big Apple Con today. I got 3 great sketches from 3 great artists.

Spider-Woman done by the living legend himself Sal Buscema.


Another great sketch by Rich Buckler.

The Thing pounding the Hulk as I requested well what I wanted was the Hulk getting knocked off his feet but he gave me a GREAT deal on it so I have no complaints.

Finally, The Billy Tucci sketch. Now when Billy sed he was gonna do a Marvel mini-series I was throwing a couple of names for a suggestion. So since Billy chose Captain America (which I was the least bit suprised), I figured getting a sketch from Billy of this character would be the next best thing and the only way to see it happen.

Surely the best She-Hulk sketch I've ever gotten or even seen. Billy outshined a lot of the recent she-hulk cover artists. Sparky was being a real ballbreaker saying it was Jade.

[jsniderfamily]

Greg Horn has the covers for SHE-HULK sewn up for a while with the new series from Marvel.  That is a great feminine sketch, which I haven't seen many of those.
If the skin were more green, it would have been a give-away.  As it is, you have to look at it for a while.

Oddly enough, I thought it was She-Hulk the moment I saw it. I thought at first it might have been her smile, then I realized that she has a different facial shape than Jade and that's what I identified her by.

Not that mentioning the comic company didn't help or anything...

It's a really, really lovely picture. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Greg Horn is nothing more than a BIG FONY. That's why i brought up the point of Billy and Mark would outshine him. At the Wizard World Philly Con I got a quickie sketch from him which is so attrocious I cant even post it up and I paid the stupid bastard for it before he showed me. It looked like something that Jim Mahfood had drawn (I kid you not).  I hate how these damn painters like Horn and Ross think they are the greatest thing to hit comics and show no appreciation to their fans.

Sparky sed to me in many posts that he felt uncomfortable when I showed his quickie spider-man sketch next to all the great serious sketches I got that day. Well Sparky's quickie sketched looked like the work of Frank Frazetta compared to what greg Horn gave me.

#1Well actually it was a li'l bit darker than you've seen it.
#2 The reason why Billy made her that color was because when her drew she-hulk I gave him John Byrne comic reference and if u remember from the series she wasn't as dark a green.

[jsniderfamily]

Whether you like Greg Horn's work or not, the fact remains he is doing the covers for SHE-HULK for now.
Would I love to see Billy do that type of SHE-HULK, absolutely yes.  It is not the time though.

[The Frankster]

well also in my roll of film is my painting of the The Superheroes project from last semester (this was the same class Billy came to visit)

Yea on your left you can see the Empire State Building (with the red, white & blue) & on the far right the chrysler building.  I tried to make it look like soemthing u would see in Spider-Man 3 (i hope it will be Venom at least while we still have Maguire under contract).  I used references from the body of a bluish black frog to try to make his symbiote realistic & well the reason why spidey looks so bright is cauz the combination of th emetallic paint & the flash plus i made his eyes huge cauz i liekd how Mark Bagley usta do the eyes.

Yes it is finally true Venom will be in Spider-Man 3.  I've waited so long for this. Topher's cool I hope he dies his hair blonde & beefs up for the role.  But one thing that'll kill the movie is the addition of the sandman.  Venom deserves his own movie.

Hey everyone today I had to go to my school on my off day for a meeting, but earlier I went to an autograph signing and met Hugh Hefner with those ladies from that show on E!.

[jsniderfamily]

Looks like he had his hands full.

Apparently ever since that session Mark Texiera has not been seen in my class for over a month already!!! Actually he was showing me the work he was cvurrently doing for wolverine which just came out this week.  I can't believe did this I really thought he would help me.  Well my comments remain the same of him being a drunk SOB!!!!! >:(

[The Frankster]

I guess you can see I have a new portrait well this is what it looks like. It's still Hulk Hogan only i drew it myself.  I made this picture with Adobe Illustrator.

[jsniderfamily]

This is one of your better drawings.

[Delvie]

I look forward to seeing more. You're art is progressing. I'm a bit jealous.
