Justice League DCnU

With all the renditions I’ve done based on DC’s relaunch in the fall, this one was inevitable. I present my version of Justice League!

First of all, the layout isn’t anything original. This looks exactly like a hundred group attack shots I’ve done. But sometimes the typical works. I also love paying homage to Garcia-Lopez iconic Justice League marketing group shots.

Also, a lot of cheats with this one since we’ve only seen a handful of these redesigns. Even basing it on Jim Lee’s JL cover, it’s still hard to do an interpretation, especially with Cyborgs new look. So I applied heavy shadows in parts and created new detail in others.

But another fun Justice League piece to put together. And if you’ve been living under the proverbial rock: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Flash, and Cyborg.

Here are some of my more recent comic book character sketches, most based on new art released for DC’s relaunch this fall. I enjoy reinterpreting the new costume designs. The Green Lantern Corps sketch was done to celebrate the upcoming movie, which I am eagerly anticipating.

I haven’t gone in a while. Still very rejuvenating. All done in pencil. The very last piece in particular I really like (woman standing, hand near face). Technically, it’s not the strongest, but I was able to convey mood with whatever detail I can include in 10-minutes.
