Post your Comic Artist sketches!!!

[The Frankster]

Hey everyone the Frankster here to kickoff a cool new topic for the Fan Central section.  I'd figure we can exchange our sketches we received from comic artists (if u have any).  Well also I know Billy wanted to make a book of the SKetches he did for fans but was botched as a result of the fans not sending them to him but since Delvie FINALLY gave us a way to upload our pics without making a high tech website.

Well 1st off let's kick it off the 1st real sketch i got from Billy. I asked him to sketch me Ana like in her b-day suit but with nuthin showin sorta liek the 1st pages of Way of the Warrior but all of a sudden i come by & he sed a woman was lookin at him weird so he changed it for that reason but it still kicks ass!!!


Another way to kick it off is sketches from Marvel's 1st family (literally) The Romitas
Great story how i got this sketch. It was one week after the 1st Spider-man hit theatres & John Romita Jr. was doing a charity event at Planet Hollywood for his sick infant niece that he would go for a world record to draw & sign autographs for 48 hours straight hours but managed a few hours more and apparently as 5 people were ahead of me by SUprise John Romita Sr. appeared & joined in to help & It was a dream coem true cause the man's my hero. It was one of the greatest 2-3 minutes of my life...


...apparently i had only enough for 1 sketch & felt bad cauz i wanted one from John Jr.  & he sed "the important thing is you came & you donated too"....luckily he came to the Big Apple Con a year later & he  no time for sketches but was nice enough to give me this & i was nice enough to let him keep my my sliver sharpie for the black covers of ASM #36.


I got many more to come & i would liek to see yours too. I still din't put my best skecth cauz it's in a frame. but let the sketch exchange begin.

[Delvie]

by you know who...

[kikuchiyo]

Here are three sketches that Billy did for me at SDCC. Actually, the last one is for Delvie. Don't worry I WILL send it to you.
Here is Shi.

Now Tomoe, which Billy said that I got the ONLY Tomoe sketch.

Sorry that they are so large, I'm using a different program that I am unfamiliar with, as my photodeluxe won't load.
Now Delvies, just as you requested.

[Delvie]

LOL! That is TOO perfect Billy! Thank you! & thank you Kuki for picking that up for me! You both rock!

Here are trimmed versions if you want to use them:

[angeleyes777]

I wanna post my newest purchase, but Billy has to mail it to me first.   :)  Where's my Sempo cover, Billy?  

If I can find the scan and figure out how to post a pic, maybe I'll post the sketch from Las Vegas Comic-Con while I wait.

This will be over simplified in case anyone who comes here needs all the details. I'm not assuming you do,  but somewhere down the line, someone will but will be too afraid to ask.

• Do you have an image scanned?
  
  
• Save it to your hard drive.
  
  
• Go to Photobucket.com & open a free account
  
  
• To add picture, click "Browse"
  
  
• A screen will open titled "File Upload"
  
  
• Search your hard drive for your pic
  
  
• Highlight your pic & click "Open"
  
  
• Click the button titled "submit"
  
  
• Directly underneath your newly added pic are 3 boxes each containing urls... you want the top one (labeled "url")
  
  
• Click your cursor into the box
  
  
• The url contained in the box will automatically highlight
  
  
• Hold down "Ctrl" key while pressing "C" key or right click mouse & copy
  
  
• Bring the url here & either type in [ img ] [ /img ] placing your url in between the "][" brackets or click the 4th box towards the right on the second row of icons (that looks like a framed picture) on the "post reply" page
  
  
• If you use the image icon on the "post reply" page, just replace "URL" w/ your url.
  
  
• The finished product should look like this:

Thanks Delvie!  Sounds pretty much exactly the same as some other boards I post on.

The toughest part is actually getting a good pic with the camera, since scanning 11x17 art on an 8.5x11 scanner is a lot of work.  

I have a few ready to post, just have to get imagestation, or photobucket?, to accept the uploads.

Stay tuned . . . .

Here's one!

Please excuse the overall gray tone, my lighting stinks.

I love, love, love this Tomoe page!  It's one of 3 11x17 pieces by Billy that hang over my computer desk.  Counting those 3, we have a total of 12 sketches and/or pages by Billy on display and probably another dozen in a portfolio.  I keep telling my hubby we're going to single-handly fund little William's college tuition.



Here's a convention sketch Billy did for us at Las Vegas Comic-Con last year.  Originally, she was supposed to be in a reclining/lounging position, but it wasn't working out, so she's swinging in action.   :)



Some other various characters and artists from my art collection:

Sojourn's Arwen by June Brigman


The Magdalena by ??? (I can't remember her name!)


Witchblade by Francis Manapul


I'm an original art junkie, I admit it.  All of these, and the rest of my collection, are lovely, but . . . I want that Sempo cover.   ;D

Well since this page has turned into posting Shi book covers here is the one i have book cover #050 of 499 (yea that's right i got the landmark #50 :P).


and on top of that I took the liberty of making Billy drawing the 1st page of the sketchbook to kick it off...

I figured I might as well make it a sketchbook of shi sketches i dont know yet.

& here's an a shi sketch i got from you know who back in november i wanted a sketch of my favorite cover.


My next post will feature different artisits next i will show you my 3 sketches from Ultimate Spider-Man artist Mark Bagley.

No prob. If you'ld like, you can scan the top & bottom of your 11X17 pages & email them to me & I'll stitch them together into 450X600 for you. The same applies to anybody. I am off all week & just doodling on the computer.

Also, I don't think imagestation allows linking... either that or it is because the links have .orig.jpg after the original .jpg that the pics don't show up... not sure.

[angeleyes777]

They don't show up?  

In my above post, they show up on my machine using Internet Explorer, AOL, Netscape Navigator 7.0, and Yahoo DSL browsers, but I haven't tried other browsers.

Can anyone else see them?

I think I fixed it.   :)

[Delvie]

Yup
They show up now.

 8)Sup crusaders,

Here are three sketches from Ultimate Spider-Man & The Pulse artist Mark Bagley.
I give him all credit for these except thelast one who i give more credit to inker Scott Hanna.

Here's Ultimate Spidey


Ultimate MJ


This sketch was the only one Mark did in front of me & he did so quick & light in pencil that it was a piece o crap. But Luckily the Scott Hanna inker of the The Pulse, Amazing Spider-Man, and the new inker of Ultimate Spider-Man, inked up Marks pencils of Venom & made it look more dynamic.


Speaking of Hanna as an added bonus here is this totally awesome sketch of the Green Goblin which he drew out from the pages of The Pulse which i got at the Dynamic Forces Fan Fest.  He is the most talented inker I must say & look how neat his penmanship is.


well more to come next i will show some legends including a tribute to the ill Dave Cockrum.

[Delvie]

My newest:



I usually try to only collect Shi, but this one was too cool to pass up (IMHO)

[Delvie]

Heya Frankie...

[JCVaughn]

Neil Vokes did this piece of Todd Livingston, Neil himself, and Robert Tinnell, the creative team from The Black Forest and The Wicked West, both of which I recommend to you.

[Delvie]

[The Frankster]

Here's a sketch of well his brother was the alleged prodigy of Jack Kirby yeah the late John Buscema but instead here is his younger surviving brother Sal Buscema. Here's a sketch he did me of Doc Ock. and one special tip if u ever meet him never say u wanne be a comic artist cauz he'll put you down like a ton of bricks.


This sketch below is from legendary Penicler/Inker/Writer Al Milgrom i always liked his version of The Black Cat the best (u can also see that in the Frankster's Files when i did my top 10 comic babes)


And finally a nice poweful sketch from legendary inker Tom Palmer of "the ever-lovin' Blue Eyed (u cant tell in b/w) THING."


That's it for now next time expect more to come next i will show sketches from Daredevil artists Alex Maleev & David Mack.

[Divia]

I'm drooling over that Tomoe pic.
I wish I had known that Bill drew pics at cons cause I would have hit him up last weekend at WW  :'( I'd love a Tomoe.  Oh well, live and learn.  

Here are some pics from the MOTU artists Emilinao Santalucia and Enza Fontana

My newest:



The character is STREET FIGHTER's E Honda & the sketch is by Kevin Lau. I don't know enough about STREET FIGHTER to know if the character is a hero or a villain, but the kabuki paint attracted my attention enough to want to add it to my Shi collection.

[Nishiko]

A correction most picky: the character's name is E(dmond) Honda. He's a sumo wrestler who's in the Street Fighter tournament to prove that sumo wrestling is the best discipline/fighting style in the world.

<-- has been playing the Street Fighter series and its spinoffs since 1991

[Delvie]

& corrected

[Nishiko]

Not quite. ;D It's just E. Honda.

Yes, yes, I'm a picky bitch, we know.

[Delvie]

I really like this one by Billy

[kikuchiyo]

That is a great cover sketch. Is that yours Delvie?
