I've mentioned previously that I tend to haunt the net cribbing artwork that catches my fancy from time to tome, everything to published art, designs, sketches, preliminary art, convention sketches, etc so just thought it might be fun to show a few pix (in no particular order) and explain why they speak to me...
Darwyn Cooke's Judge Anderson: other than being one of the few 2000AD characters I have any affection for, it's always cool seeing a character handled by a totally unexpected creator...
I've always loved Cockrum's Ms Marvel redesign but this art just blows me away, don't know who did it but it really sings for me...
As a kid, I loved the original Wonder Man design but later looked back on it as kitschy. Today i kinda like it again and Art Adams' version really knocks it into shape...
I had to include a Hughes piece so chose this Wonder Woman cover, comparing the lineart against the colour version...
I also love some of the merchandise currently being produced but can't afford most of it. Swinging by at Bowen Designs fills me with joy and sadness at the same time...
Occasionally I'll find nuggets like this Kevin maguire Beetle and Booster pic, always a treat for this JLI fan...
Couild spend ages looking at his Simpson jam...
Also love JH Williams' art and love this design sheet, nice art and clear motivation for the design choices...
Also a big fan of Steve Rude, here with a Gwen Stacy pic that caught my eye...
Oh, look who it is again!
Bruce Timm has loads of Good Girl art online but his heroes are pretty cool too, and obviously I'm gonna like this one....
One of my favourite Invisibles covers, this is the uncoloured version by Brian Bolland...I love the open, unrendered art here, reminds me of the ligne claire or animation-inspired art styles...
Always love Dave Stevens' art and this cropping from one of his Rocketeer pages features probably his most striking depiction of Bettie Page...
I quite like looking at model sheets, especially ones that feature pre-existing characters as it shows how much you can change a character's look while remaining true to the concept. This is Arisia from the original Green Lantern animated DVDs...

As far as I can tell, they were two separate custom trading cards done by Maguire...BTW, Bigg Time posted today :)
Love the Steve Rude Gwen, but Gwen would never wear a dress that... rude.
