more designs, and some comic covers (updated)

**dave finch** · June 29th, 2005, 07:57 AM

This stuff is just a bunch of old stuff that I got off my old computer last week finally. I already posted some color versions of most of it. I threw in some comic stuff to fill things out.

**Kian** · June 29th, 2005, 08:00 AM

Wow!!!! these are incredible!!! there's no way I could even dare crit a thing

**Mr. Visions** · June 29th, 2005, 08:39 AM

Ah, delicious pencils man. I'm a huge comic book fan, and always love looking at your stuff. These are really sweet, especially...the pencils, ah. Refreshing to see pencil work. You have any tutorials up?

Thanks!

I don't have any tutorials up, but really, I couldn't possibly teach better than this:

Incredible work- very inspirational.

**vigostar** · June 29th, 2005, 09:06 AM

my olnly question is,.. how do you get that space costume the same each time.. that shit is so intricate.. wow.. really nice work.. i relly like the first ironman and captain america... the composition there is great.. and i see you have a thing boyles.. great work... love it all... you and jade dragon should do something together... you guys have similar styles..

**izisilver** · June 29th, 2005, 09:13 AM

Some very cool concepts. The sketches could bo darker with more contrast. I like the third one. Will they all be in colors?

**DStevens** · June 29th, 2005, 09:37 AM

This is really great stuff, man. You guys made the Avengers cool again. Your book is one of the first "flimsy" series I've started collecting in about 5 years. I hope Marvel is smart enough to keep you around for a long time.

**Chuck,mate.** · June 29th, 2005, 09:54 AM

**Gezstar** · June 29th, 2005, 10:08 AM

Wow, amazingly intricate pencil work! And very nice compositions on the covers.

**Aremah** · June 29th, 2005, 10:10 AM

Dude! *is completely stunned and speechless*

**hayeske** · June 29th, 2005, 10:35 AM

I have tried and tried to draw like that. I can't freakin' do it. Not even when I try and trace. I don't think I have the materials.....uh yeah, that's it.....wrong materials. Truly inspirational work

**nick at night** · June 29th, 2005, 10:51 AM

Incredible work! I love the background in the Wolverine image!

**GUYJIN** · June 29th, 2005, 10:56 AM

really nice!

**JoshuaTheJames** · June 29th, 2005, 11:01 AM

Cool Stuff.

It's Nice to see you here.

**GhostofMacbeth** · June 29th, 2005, 11:23 AM

Very cool stuff .. I have at least one of the comics just for the art

**CleptoCat** · June 29th, 2005, 11:25 AM

I love hittnig a thread and getting more than you expect. Awesome work. Im really digging the dignity that shows in the Captain America and Ironman pieces.

**Smooth99w** · June 29th, 2005, 11:30 AM

amazing...you're my new inspiration

**dns2k** · June 29th, 2005, 12:03 PM

killer man

**Dan.v.D.** · June 29th, 2005, 12:34 PM

sweet stuff.
do you ever struggle with perspective, proportion foreshortening and anatomy?
or does that stuff happen naturally after 10 whatever years workin as a pro?
when do you say it´s good enough, given that most things can never be perfect?

keep posting man

**strych9ine** · June 29th, 2005, 12:43 PM

The pencils are sick... I love the composition on the Captain America piece.

**DSillustration** · June 29th, 2005, 03:27 PM

great stuff,
i actually just went back and bought the back issues of #2 and #3
(they were sold out the first week they came out!)
astounding work!
it must be fun getting to draw just about every cool character marvel has in one book.

i noticed the scanner splice,
are you drawing these larger than 11x17, or do you not have an a3 scanner.
if not, check out "mustek scanexpress a3 usb"
they are discontinued, but i found mine for under a $100.
it scans great for b&w upto 11x17.
apparently everything new costs a friggin thousand!

**luxun** · June 29th, 2005, 04:29 PM

god damnnn!!

**dave finch** · June 29th, 2005, 04:37 PM

Thanks a lot!

izisilver: They're all colored. Most of them, I've already posted in color. The comic covers were inked by Danny Miki, and colored by Frank D'Armata. I've got the finished files, but they're easily available elswhere. I wanted to post the pencils, which never get seen.

DStevens: Thanks! I've never heard of "flimsy" to describe a monthly comic book...hehe. I've heard pamphlets though. That one got popular for a while there!

Geztar: Thanks a lot. Have you ever done anything for Marvel? I don't know if you'd have any interest at all, but I'm sure they would kill to have you do something.

Joshua: It's nice to be here, thanks!

Dan. v.D.: I don't so much struggle with that stuff as much as I used to. I struggle with facial expressions, and large scenes with multiple focal points of interest.... When a writer wants a team of guys to all be doing something different in each panel, and each action has to be made clear enough to understand it can be a real challenge. A lot of the time I struggle with keeping my interest level up when I'm drawing the same picture over and over again. And deadlines are a struggle!

DSIllustration: Thanks, and thanks for the tip! That scanner died on me not long ago, and I had to get another one anyway. I really wanted to get a bigger one, but they can't even be had around here, so I would have had to order one from somewhere. I'm in Canada, which makes that problem even worse. I finally just went ahead and got a smaller one just because I have to send work out every day. Fortunately this one seems to not distort the image like the last one, and I can get scans to go together with no visible seam. It's still a hassle, but at least it fits together! (Hey, how is it that you're not listed as a professional around here?)

**Kress** · June 29th, 2005, 04:37 PM

Hey, thanks for sharing

I can't help but feel like your designs are super-cool, but a little busy in places for my taste. I'd love to see one of these guys with more breathing room on them. Regardless, your draftsmanship is a joy to take in. The first Capt. A cover rocks my face off.

**PaulGanguly** · June 29th, 2005, 04:42 PM

The Avengers ones destroyed me.

Also, for the love of god, ink and color these.

[EDIT]
Oh, heh...you're pro, apparently. So you have someone else do that for you. Got any of those ones online? I'd love to see them.
[/EDIT]

**George Bieber** · June 29th, 2005, 04:46 PM

I have not stuck with an Avengers title for years but your artwork has kept me coming back for New Avengers since the beginning.
Classic stuff, keep up the incredible work.
