055 - THE CAPTAIN

I started this one as an experiment in Inking after a conversation with my buddy Egg Embry, the idea was to blue line a photo and then ink it without having to worry about 'fixing' my pencils so that way I could just focus on line widths and values and all. It was a neat little exercise and I figured this being the last post of 2010 I would let the good Capatin wave me out. I wish you all a very happy, safe and prosperous New Year! Cheers!

HARLEY QUINN Updated


Here's a look at the Harley Quinn print that I worked up for Atlanta Comic Con - I was very happy with the way that this one turned out. A big thanks to the talented Brian Frey on Colors and the design assist.

Atlanta Comic Con 2010


I really need to start doing a better job of taking pictures / gettings scans of the sketches I do at shows... here's a look at two I did get scans of, a big burly Batman with a sort of unitentional Bart Sears-ness to him and Nick Gnome which was alot of fun to draw after such a long time. I promise I'll do a better job of keeping track at Megacon ;) and if anyone wants to put in a comission request prior to the show hit me up! torres@mightyfineline.com

050 - HAWKGIRL

UPDATED: Added the Inked version of the piece.
Never cared much for this character until the Justice League cartoon came along. As I kicked around names of characters that would make for a neat art print her came kept rattling around in my head so I took a shot... probably won't make the final cut but I am happy with it considering I've never drawn her before.

047 - BABYFACE

My scanners doing this weird thing where when I scan inks this red static shows up on large areas of spotted blacks and I haven't been able to get it figured out... in this instance I thought it looked kinda neat.

SCORN - No. 02 UPDATE

Been kept pretty busy with Egg Embry's SCORN as well as another project I don't think I can really talk about quite yet so there hasn't been much time for blog sketching. Here's a random page from SCORN No. 02 - More Scorn previews soon!

045 - DEADMAN

So after a few hours of banging my head against a wall and still not being able to get the page that I was working on right, I decided to take a breather and just draw something for fun and I've been itching to draw Boston Brand here for a while.

COMICS FOR CURES - 2

With the exception of Curt Swan on Superman I really have no fonder comic book memories than The New Teen Titans during the Wolfman / Perez era. Storywise and artwise there just isn't much out there that's been done better so these were alot of fun for me. My cards got mailed out today and a few of my friends have been good enough to volunteertheir time and effort for a great cause - For more info go to: ttp://www.comicsforcures.com/

038 - SPIDEY Vs. DOC OCK

I did this piece as a gift for my buddy John McGuire’s birthday – I got the idea of doing the New School / Old School composition from an awesome batch of covers that Joe Quinones is doing for Amazing Spider-Man… so I set my own take on Spidey against my attempt to ape John Romita Sr. who is one of my all time favorites (although so is JRJR). Anywho, it was a lot of fun putting it together.

037 – ROCKETEER

With apologies to Dave Stevens

I'm thinking The Rocketeer is a bit outside my wheelhouse but more than that I think this is a good example of what happens when you have a drawing you're not happy with to begin with but you keep plowing through hoping to 'fix' it along the way. I think at one point I did have it looking halfway decent but then I just kept going at it and essentially worked it to death. The gray wash on the pants was really the last straw for me I think.

Anywho... I was trying to play along with the guys over at the COMIC TWART blog but obviously I was in over my head on this one. Maybe next time.

036 - SUPREME

My buddy Don Thomas did a sketch of SUPREME and I finished the nights page early and it's not a character that I'm real familiar with and had never drawn him before so I decided I would take a shot at it too...
