Ghost Rider



Here's a drawing of Ghost Rider that I started when I saw a neat little drawing Rico did in his sketchbook. I'd spent almost all night fighting with various drawings, including a Scarlet Witch that started off with such promise, and a Jocasta that got ruined in trying to render reflections.

Jean Grey

Another Dave Cockrum-designed costume, this timeJean Grey of the X-Men. I did take liberties enlarging the phoenix logo to her later Dark-Phoenix style, but dang it, It works better. I had thought about putting stars in the black area, but if I have my physics right, with all the flaming effect, there'd be no stars visible near it, much like you can't look up at a streetlight and see stars really close to it.

Designed Only for Killing

I did this little MODOK drawing a little while ago but only posted it to Twitter in a hurry. Here it is, but I think it needs a background desperately. Maybe I'll redraw it in complete glory sometime in the future, actually using reference for the character.

Storm



I know everyone is doing the Alpha-Beasts but the meme hit at a bad time for me to try and participate. I thought about it, but didn't know if I could find the time, and right now, I am just enjoying drawing people right now, and for some reason, super-heroes, especially super-heroes from the 1970s.

Storm was a unique addition to the X-Men in the 1970s. Regal, a little fetishized with her skimpy black leather outfit, and a propensity to be an excuse for peek-a-boo nudity. A lot of artists have a fondness lately for Storm in her 80s punk days, but being a nut for costumes designed by Dave Cockrum, I have to go 70s.

I do like the look I gave her in the drawing, almost like she just realized her picture was being taken. I'm also working on those shadows underneath the characters' feet. The highlights on her lower abdomen seem a bit weird to me, but I can live with it.
