Captain America, Nightwing

The Cap piece should've been done a long time ago, but I lost the book somewhere deep in my stacks when I moved and it took me some time to finally find it. Sort of a re-creation of the original Captain America Comics #1, from March 1941.(See it below) Actually, it's the instant just before the original cover. The Nightwing was done on a blank opening page of a book of hardbound Nightwing comics. Both were done for Chicago Comic Con.

Storm for the weekend

Like some of the head sketches, I did this one to have at the table for sale at Chicago Comic Con. She's still around. I knew I should have gone for the mohawk!

Dr. Doom and the Batman

Hellboy and Darkseid headshots

These were a couple of headshot drawings I did before Chicago Comic Con to have for sale at the table.

Oh yeah, the rest of my Chicago Comic Con report is up at The Guns of Shadow Valley site. You go there, now!

Chicago Comic Con 09 report, pt 1

Is up at the Guns of Shadow Valley site.(You should be going there anyway!)

Here's a few pics to get you started.

Colossus vs. Juggernaut

Sasquatch and Puck

From Canada's favorite super-group: Alpha Flight!

Grendel

Thundarr, Ariel, and Ookla

Yep, all three from the awesome 80s cartoon Thundarr the Barbarian.

Nova vs. Annihilus

Insectoid goodness.
I'd like to thank the makers of Pro-white.
My signature seems to be turning into a scribble of nothing.

Time Trapper and Phantom Stranger

A pair of head sketch pre-orders for Chicago.

Gunwitch and Starfish

This is another instance where I've never read the book, Nocturnals, from which these characters come, but I love the character designs.

Daredevil

More (Wizard World) Chicago Comicon pre-order goodness.

Fin Fang Foom!

Moon Knight

Another Wizard World Chicago pre-order.

The Hood

Etrigan the Demon - head sketch

This is the first Wizard World Chicago pre-order. I really prefer doing the greys with the ink wash now. I give up some degree of control but the result is so much more lush and organic. I don't know why I didn't try it earlier.

Wizard World Chicago Comic-con Sketch Pre-orders!

I am now accepting sketch pre-orders for Wizard World Chicago Comic-Con, which takes place August 6-9. If you're going to the con, you can email me with a pre-order, which I will have finished and available to pick up at the con. I will be doing sketches at my table as well, but this helps me keep up with the demand I often receive and the sketches typically turn out better when I do them at home. The price structure is as follows:

Head sketch: 9x12, ink and grey tone= $10
Mini Commission: 9x12, ink and tone= $30 for the 1st character, $10 each additional.
Full Commission: 11x17, ink and tone= $100 1st character, $30 each additional.

You can pre-pay via PayPal to avoid carrying so much cash at the con, or you can pay me when you pick it up at the show. Just send me an email at dave@davedrawscomics.com

Space is limited, so sign up early!
