Bow down before Doom!

I'm back again guys and while I mentioned before that there wouldn't be any more solo Marvel pics for a while, I decided to do one more based of one of my favourite villains in the Marvel Universe. It could only be the menacing Dr. Doom!

I have loved Victor Von Doom for many years and felt that my Marvel work looked like it really needed one of Marvel's most deadliest villains to join the ranks of Magneto and Venom etc. Doom has clashed and even co-operated with the majority of Marvel characters so it was only a matter of time until I drew him. After I finished his colouring, I had done the inside of his cape the same shade of green as the outside of it, as I noticed in the comics and games that that's how it looked. However as I looked at it, I felt Doom was too bland and his pose was barely visible. So I decided to give it a darker tone of green to make it stand out and now he looks fantastic! (No pun intended!)

Speaking of which, Dr. Doom is the first character I've done from the Fantastic four side so I should look into getting them done at some point too. But there really will be no more solos for a while now as I'm currently working on my first ever A2 sized pic! Keep checking back soon as hopefully I should have it completed and uploaded within the next few weeks!

And now, the leader of the X-Men!

Hey guys! I've got one more X-Man for you now as promised. I wanted to do one more before I moved onto characters from a different part of the Marvel Universe. So I figured it may as well be the leader of the X-Men himself. So, I present to you, Scott Summers, the mutant known as Cyclops!

As you can see, I went with Scott's 90's look, which is the look I grew up with. I never was a huge fan of him having a hood. I found that like my Wolverine pic, this compares quite a lot with his look from the 90's animated series too! I almost drew him shooting an optic blast from his visor, but I have decided that I'm going to be saving that pose for a future project...

I'll draw some more single Marvel characters again real soon. I'm taking a short break now to focus on other things but keep checking back and I'll still have plenty to post before you know it! Thanks guys! :)

The Ace of the X-Men!

Hey guys, I've got another X-Man for you! I now give you...Remy Lebeau! The mutant Cajun known as Gambit!

First of all, let me just say, this is now my new favourite pic I have done so far out of the Marvel character drawings I've done! I love how this has turned out more than Carnage and Mister Sinister did! Wasn't easy though as this was my third attempt at him! The first time I didn't like the way his coat looked and the second I had a problem with the way he threw his cards.

I wanted to give Remy a decent card throwing pose whilst displaying his technique at the same time. So I looked through my comics for ideas on how to get it right and finally, here is the result. Quite possibly my finest piece yet!

Gambit's inclusion now brings the X-Men pics up for 4 I believe. I think I'll do one more before moving onto a different type of Marvel character.

And here's X-Man number two of the day!

The second X-Man I have for you today is none other than Peter Rasputin, the mutant known as Colossus!

I wasn't planning to draw him for a while but one of my mates loves Colossus and has been waiting to see him for a while now so I decided to give him what he wanted to see. This time my goal was to give Colossus a shining effect on his metallic body. I did so by leaving streaks of white on the metal and gave his head that little bit of sparkle shall we say.

He's turned out pretty well but I'm considering adding a light shade of blue to some parts of the body to possibly make him look better. Not decided yet for sure but if I do, I'll post an updated pic.

Might do a couple more X-Men before I move onto the next lot of characters.

BAMF! Nightcrawler appears!

BAMF!

I present to you all Kurt Wagner: The X-Man known as Nightcrawler!

I first drew the character in an acrobatic pose from his circus days. But as I drew it, I realized he'd look better as if he jumped out of smoke from teleporting in! So I added in that effect and to begin with, I was unsure. But after applying some colour to it, I think it turned out really well! I did put in some purple on Kurt's body too but isn't quite as noticeable from these pics.

This is just one of two X-Men I have for you today! The second shall follow shortly...

"I'm the best at what I do!"

Kicking off the X-Men line of characters is none other than perhaps the most recognizable character of the team...Wolverine!

As I mentioned before, I've not done any members of the X-Men yet, despite having done two of their villains, Magneto and Mister Sinister, already. Well I decided they were long overdue, so I took up my pencil and produced this beauty! He honestly turned out much better than I dared to imagine! The sketch satisfied me, but after filling in the black and blue parts, I began to fall in love with it. I used three different shades of blue to get the tone you see above and I honestly think I got it spot on! By the time I had finished colouring him, he looked ready to come alive! I'm actually pleased with how this bub turned out, and I don't like to compliment myself a lot so this is certainly something!

I will be continuing with the X-Men line for a little bit and hopefully get round to characters like Cyclops, Phoenix, Nightcrawler, Gambit, Beast, Storm and many more...Maybe not all at once but possibly another two or three before I move on to a character from either the Marvel Knights universe or the Fantastic Four universe...or maybe a quick Spidey villain as there are loads of them I'd love to get done!

Something Sinister this way comes...

I'm back guys after an eventful couple of months. May was full of birthdays and other events that kept me busy, while I spent a couple of weeks in hospital in June. Nothing to worry over though as I'm now fit and getting on with things once again.

So back to drawing, here is one of my favourite villains in the Marvel Universe. Nathaniel Essex, also known as Mister Sinister!
This has been a character I have wanted to draw for a long time and I'm really pleased with how he has turned out. I decided to give him a darker tone to his costume and added in a mix of black to go with his dark blue colour. I felt that it would make him look more...well, sinister!

I have plenty of characters lined up that I'd like to do. I'd like some more Spidey villains and considered the likes of Green Goblin, Mysterio, Doctor Octopus, Electro and Lizard. But I've also noticed I actually haven't done any X-Men yet either so will be looking into bringing in characters like Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Cyclops, Gambit and Jean Grey/Phoenix amongst others. Plus I still have the Fantastic Four characters to do, as well as Marvel Knights like Daredevil, Elektra, Blade, Punisher and Ghost Rider. I think the Avengers have enough for now...

All this to come guys! Gonna be busy, busy, busy!
