MAC, I notice one of the Batman drawings is rather Jim Lee-esque.  Was that a request by a client or your own prerogative?  Just curious.

Warren, what inking implement do you use if you don't mind me asking?  Nice work, especially "Skullhead Tophat."

Another MS Paint and mouse job, just for the heck of it (Marc's drawing a few pages back inspired me to try a WW pic) --

Paulo- Yep, its on purpose. The drawing is a double page spread for Ari
Shapiro.
It depicts the BATMAN in the style of the artist that drew
him,Adams,Davis,Miller,Mazzuchelli,Timm,Jones,Mignola,Rogers ,Lee and a
couple more i cant think of. Its been sitting on my table for many weeks if
not months. Ari has been gracious enough to give me time. With the death
of my dad still painful and the birth of my daughter, a constant reminder
that I have to make each day count,I wasnt able to produce much until
recently.
Needless to say Ill be posting more often.

Marc Baptiste
I just saw your WW and there are some really sweet strokes in there, it just doesn't quite fall in place. For instance, I absolutely the lower half of the figure. It's extremely well done. Also, as someone mentioned, the head/face/hair looks great. It looks like there is too much effort on the little things before roughing in the overall pose. I'm no artist, not even close, but I tend to scribble in my figures, literally round scribbly strokes, and then go back and define what I like, and toss what I don't. Not the proper way to do anatomy but I get a decent rough figure to tinker with.

The more I look at my Wonder Woman pic the less I like it.

Anthony, very sorry about your dad, very hard losing a parent.

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter, wow you have had the extremes. Your outlook on it all, is inspiring.

Marc don't give up on the Wonder Woman , there is some quality work there. Do you have a light box to put the head on a smaller body and vise versa. I really dig the body.

Mikael, Wow well done panels, I love them. I am reading Twilight and am into vampires right now.  

Paulo your Wonder Woman looks like a teenage Wonder Woman, I like it a lot.

One more - then I'll quit, I promise (^-^);; -  these are some pages I did when I was 14 years old, and had just recently discovered that you could ink with real ink and use a brush.. the character is a rip-off mixup between batman and the phantom stranger...
