LOBSTER JOHNSON: PROCESS

 

 

Here's a look at Page 2 of my LOBSTER JOHNSON: PRAYER OF NEFERU one-shot, deconstructed from Colors, to Inks, to Pencils... I thought about posting the thumbnail as well but those are just gibberish. As it so happensd this page is available at my Store... just sayin'

ALIENS: COLONIAL MARINES

Here's a look at my Pin-Up contribution to Dark Horse Comics / SEGA ALIENS: COLONIAL MARINES promotional comic that was available at SDCC this summer. The colors on this piece really blew me away, provided by Michael Atiyeh. The original line art for this one is available at my store.

THE SHADOW KNOWS

A look at Chris Samnee' fantastic cover to the first issue of my current project, THE SHADOW: YEAR ONE for Dynamite Entertainment, from the solicitation;

"THE SHADOW is a character that has lasted through decades on the pages of pulp magazines, over the radio airwaves, thru the silver screen, and in the panels of comic books.  Shrouded in mystery, his origins have been explored and hinted at over the years…but never fully revealed.  Much is known of Kent Allard/Lamont Cranston’s years spent in the Orient and Central America—wherein he gains his powers and purpose…but not how he first developed his persona as the Master of Darkness. Eisner Award-winning author, Matt Wagner is joined by artist Wilfredo Torres in an exhilarating 8-issue limited series that will explore the dynamic events that first drew Cranston back to the States, how he first met his companion and lover, Margo Lane, how he began to assemble his vast network of agents and how he first adopted the famous black hat and cloak as his alter-ego's disguise—all secrets that, up until now…only The Shadow knew!"

COMMISIONS & SOME ODDS AND ENDS

I guess I've never really made a point of soliciting requests for Commissions outside of conventions and I guess that's given some folks the impression that I don't do them which couldn't be further from the truth, so... YES, I accept Commission requests. Send me money and I'll draw you stuff!

The particulars are as follows:

Black & White, 11x14” 100lb Bristol - $80USD for the first character, $20USD each additional character thereafter; limit four (4) characters total. Shipping and handling are your choice and at your expense. If you live within the continental United States your image will be typically shipped via United States Priority Mail with insurance and a tracking number. If you live internationally, shipping via FedEx is preferred and recommended. The preferred form of payment is PAYPAL but Money Order, Cashier's Check, personal check are also accepted. The commission will not be started until payment is received and the payment clears.


My ability to take on commissions is subject to my work schedule but I also reserve the right to reject any commission request. For further questions, detailed instructions regarding payment and setting up a commission, please contact me via e-mail - torres@mightyfineline.com

Now that we have that out of the way, here's a few doodles!

My take on the Charlton Comics characters that inspired WATCHMEN - I think it's important to keep in mind that the issue of Creators Rights, specifically in this case is a bigger conversation.
