Andy Whitfield as Spartacus

I was saddened to learn of the passing of Andy Whitfield, star of Spartacus: Blood and Sand, who has been battling lymphoma. This is my tribute. Spartacus: Blood and Sand was a great show and he was great in it. Check it out if you haven’t already.

Here are some drawing warmups, portrait sketch practice in pencil. My subjects: a bunch of people I seem to be tied to for all eternity. If you don’t see yourselves on here, relax. I only have so much time in the day. There’ll be more. Took about 4 hours. You people are exhausting.

DCnU: Justice League

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.
