Comic Characters A-Z: The Final Nail


Here at last is the FINAL final entry in my A-Z of comic characters, Zatanna! To be honest, there was something about this that really bothered me in the pencils and I wanted to start over again but I want to focus on samples so I decided to ink it up anyway. It still doesn't sit right, something awkward about the legs but it's passable.


I've deleted the thread now as all the pics are up on my Facebook page now. If I think of it though, I might post Power Girl, Cyclops and Dr Strange back as I quite like those ones. I was also going to do an appendix featuring suggestions that were made that I still wanted to draw, such as the Enchantress and U-Go Girl, but again this would just be another distraction right now. I did however ink the Jade figure I pencilled and at the bottom of this post are the self-rejected earlier versions of characters that were actually used.


In between are a few other quick bits: a streamlined/redesigned Gypsy Moth (done after Tony's usage of this goofy-looking character) and coloured versions of Spider-Man and Goliath (a better example of a clean line style than my Thunderbird!), both of which were done at the pub in an A5 pad.


Right, bath, dinner, the end of Whedon's Runaways and a film for me now!

Great stuff - though I still don't know why you deleted 'em.

I deleted 'em basically as they wer mostly rubbish. They were kinda fun to do, quick mini (A5ish)drawing that I knocked out a few at a time as they only took 10-20 minutes. Even so, some were painful while others flowed fairly easy. So, as they were fairly inconsequential (seriously, I looked everywhere last night but still can't find A & E, lost god knows where!), pretty bad and still up at Facebook, thought I'd take them down from here...although I must remember to repost the four I still like...

Shame to lose all the suggestions though, they were fun! (Except for Katie poxy Power...)
