Rough Around The Edges

I’m knee deep in the inks of the latest Murder Book short story that will be seen in Jay Faerber’s NEAR DEATH #9, from Image Comics ( #8 is out next week and it contains the first Murder Book short that Ed Brisson, Paul Little and I have done specifically for NEAR DEATH!). Having little time to do fancy smancy drawings for my blog, I present some rough sketches, instead!

Broken Arrow

There was a time in the 80′s when Hawkeye was my favorite Avenger. It didn’t last long, though!

And that does it for Avengers Assemble Week here at No Quarter. I was hoping to continue it into next week but my drawing schedule just got packed! Thanks for playing along!

Hawkeye was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Don Heck.

It Takes Two

Avengers Assemble Week is 3 days in and I’m already repeating myself! Lame. Maybe I have to extend it into next week…? I’ll have a different Avenger tomorrow, though. I promise.

Cap makes a back-to-back appearance. But, while I liked yesterday’s drawing of the Super Soldier just fine, this one has the sort of action that really does Captain America some justice.

Better Late

Avengers Assemble Week continues with Captain America!

I try to have these ready to go for the morning but I couldn’t decide between 2 different Captain America drawings to flesh out. So, instead of focusing on one, I ended up splitting my time and worked on both. That meant that I didn’t get one finished but had 2 half finished. Oh well… now I have tomorrow’s half done!

Captain America was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby.

Assembling a Post

Ok. There is this movie out right now that you may have heard about. It’s called The Avengers. It’s a good movie, apparently… I haven’t seen it, yet, but I know the source material.

In honour of the movie’s release and more importantly in honour of the creators that made these wonderful characters which in turn made the movie possible, this week is Avengers Assemble Week here at No Quarter!

First up is a personal favorite, The Mighty Thor! Thor has been credited as created by editor-plotter Stan Lee, scripter Larry Lieber, and penciller Jack Kirby.

There It Is

I was going to go with a different character than old Iron Fist here but the sketch I was going to ink from begged for more time than I had at my disposal. So Iron Fist it is!

I seem to gravitate to the “street” type characters, like Daredevil, Moon Knight, Punisher and Iron Fist, when I sit to draw superheroes. I don’t know what that says about me but there it is.
