CONAN #24 VARIANT RECREATION


This was another version of the variant cover commission that I did about six months ago. I put this version aside to go with a different layout, but I really liked the snake in this one, so I decided to go back and finish it.

 

 

IRON MAN  #132 VARIANT  Recreation

 

This commissioned cover was created for Christopher Hoffman and features a scene just prior to the one depicted on the original version of Shellhead's classic battle with the incredible Hulk!.

     

WARRIOR OF MARS #1 Variant RECREATION

This page was commissioned by  Michael Boley and is based on the Gil Kane cover of Creatures on the Loose #19 featuring Gulliver of Mars. Michael asked me to re-imagine it as it's own series and this is the result. Oh--and the half-naked babe was also part of the deal...the fun part, of course.

  

 

 

 

CAPTAIN AMERICA, IRON MAN & HERCULES

 

This page was commissioned by Lou Valenti and features three of my all-time favorite Marvel characters.

 

 

 

NYOKA, THE JUNGLE GIRL

 

This illustration, based on the 40's Fawcett comic character, was commissioned by Arthur Chertowsky.

ANT-MAN & THE RECORDER

 

This piece was commissioned by U.K.'s Mark Tinkler and is an extension of a commission I did for him a year ago featuring Iron Man and Hercules. I've joined the two pages together so everyone can see the final product.

 

 

 

 

 

SPIDER-WOMAN/AVENGERS ANNUAL #10 VARIANT RECREATION

 

This commission was based on a scene on the splash page from Avengers Annual #10 by Michael Golden.

X-O MANOWAR INKS

 

This inking job was commissioned by my pal, Chris Gould as a gift for former Valiant penciller Anthony Castrillo.  As you can see, I took a few 'liberties' in creating the final product over Tony's pencils.

 

 

 

 

 

SENTINELS OF JUSTICE COMMISSION

 

Here's a fun commission. Brian Carney requested this variation of the cover to Defenders #9--replacing the members of the Marvel team with the original Charlton Super-heroes--one of my all-time fav group of guys! Color by the fantastic Ian Sokoliwski.

"DEMON IN A BOTTLE"

Iron Man

This was a fun piece to do--a variant to the splash page of  the classic 'Demon in a Bottle' issue penciled by the Iron Man legend himself--George Tuska and inked by me.
