Saga inks

Here's the inks for the pin-up I put up the other day.  Digital inking is a tricky beast.

Comic Bookin'

I've been itching to draw some more comic book pages and took a break between commissions to do a few.  Just a little story showing Wolverine of the X-Men running away from the X-Mansion, gets tripped up, gets mad etc.  Figured I'd throw in a little action for good measure.  These were inked with the intention of doing the backgrounds digitally, so I'll add to those eventually.  Now back to some more painting...

Olivier Coipel

The stuff you see below was done by Olivier Coipel and he's pretty much the best comic book artist out there right now.  Hailing from France with a background in animation.  Olivier's line work will make your jaw drop.  He has a great sensibility for drawing the figure which I admire and he's so great at making everything look dynamic and full of energy.  I've never met him but I've met his frequent collaborator and inker, Mark Morales, a couple of times.  Each time I see Mark I hit him up for whatever pages I can afford at the time.  So far I own 5 Coipel originals and I'm hoping to add some more soon.  Look this guy up, people.

Here's some examples of Olivier's mind-blowing work:

Here's 4 of the pages I own.  If there was a fire, I'd probably grab these first.
