The Marvel-Disney Universe!

I just read about the news and had to do this right away (really couldn't resist ;))
I may do more if I get chance: these were fun!

Cheers,

The Completely Unnecessary Marvel Comics 70th Anniversary Graphic Novel Cover Meme

The awesome Stuart Immonen started this cover meme on his blog.

In brief: you pick a random cover from the Marvel inventory and, based on a word form that cover, a random pic from Flickr and come up with a fictional cover for a contemporary novel.
All details and accurate instructions can be found on Stuart's blog.

Since I too should be focusing on actual work, I decided to join in and this is the result (based on the below Cage cover from 1992).

Ok, back to work now ;)

Cheers,
Francesco

Eye on Garrison

Writer extraordinaire Jeff Mariotte shells out some more info about our upcoming GARRISON mini at Wildstorm in this interview at Newsarama. Check it out!
Since one of the image posted is the cover for issue 2, I thought to share below a bit the WIP the went with it.
1) and 2) are the initial 2 layouts for the cover. Once decided to go with layout 2) I proceeded to do the inks and grayscale (3) and played a bit on the colors (4) .
The result is the cover in blue that you see above.
Hope you guys dig it :)

Cheers,
Francesco

Batman in Red

This morning warm up before getting on some Zorro pages. Plus it has been awhile since I drew this guy and I LOVE drawing this guy ;)

And speaking of what inspired Batman, tomorrow Zorro 15 is coming out: make sure to grab a copy, you will not regret it ;)

Cheers,
