Eric Draven: The Crow in ink

Eric Draven: The Crow, Micron pen and Pentel Pocket Brush Pen on 5.5" X 8.5" sketch paper.

Buildings burn; people die but real love is forever.

It's been 15 years since I drew The Crow and I thought I would give him another whirl in my stark, inked comic book style (Micron pen and Pentel Pocket Brush Pen on 5.5" X 8.5" sketch paper) a couple of nights ago since I was telling my daughter Makayla (who turns 10 today! Happy Birthday, Beautiful!) about his movie starring the late, great Brandon Lee.

Now I wouldn't recommend sharing the film with her just yet (it still makes me cry to this day) but the TV show inspired by the film, "The Crow: Stairway to Heaven," is a pretty safe alternative!

Hope you dig it! And remember...

It can't rain all the time.

Seth Rollins in Ink!

Those of you who are fans of the WWE will recognize this cat, ex-Shield member Seth Rollins. Between projects, I figured I'd give the inaugural NXT champion/former WWE tag team champion the comic-style portrait treatment complete with funky speed lines, white highlights and paint (or blood. Take your pick) drip action. Of course I started this about a week-and-a-half after he left his teammates, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose, so his new ring gear was revealed after I began inking this. It's Faber-Castell PITT artist pen and Sharpie on 9" X 12" Bristol Board. I hope in some way, it captures the spirit of the high-flying architect of the WWE. Enjoy!

Man of Steel!

Inspired by Henry Cavill in the new Superman film, "Man of Steel," I thought I would knock out another comic-inspired piece and dress it up with Micron pen inks, Prismacolor art markers and a touch here and there of Prismacolor watercolor pencils (I keep this up and I'm sure to get an endorsement; right? Hello? Guys?) Here's your before and after! Enjoy!
