A Marvel-ous Avengers Week: Avengers Assembled!

Day 5 (and then some): All apologies for the delay in posting. This piece was completed yesterday. The original size is 12x16 in Graphite. It took me about 2 to 3 hours to get it all right. Placement was the hard part. The Hulk was drawn first (Three times. I even debated going smaller with Ruffalo). Next I drew Black Widow, Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, and lastly Hawkeye. I will post an Airbrush color version as soon as the green paint comes in next Tuesday.   So, I saw the movie on Friday at 10:40am. I was all set to see the 12:01 showing but could not make it. I saw the 2-D version and I loved it. The previews on tv and the internet, the promotional pieces I bought like the junior novel and the trading cards gave me a taste but the movie wowed me and won me over. I love it when you don't see all the movie in the previews. They did an awesome job with the Hulk. And I hope Ruffalo gets his own movie. At this point I am making plans to see the 3-D version, probably tomorrow. Although, I am glad I saw the 2-D version first as action is hard to see in 3-D(maybe that's just me). Personally, I hope it beats Johny and Tim's "Dark Shadows" this Friday for the #1 spot. We'll see. Avengers Assemble!! PS Stay for the credits and the very end of the credits of Marvel"s The Avengers for a real treat.

A Marvel-ous Avengers Week: Captain America

Day 4 of the Marvel-ous Week: Steve Rogers aka Captain America (as played by surprisingly convincing Chris Evans). So tomorrow, is the Group Caricature with two guests not previously pictured. Any fan will know who I am talking about. Unfortunately, I am not able to make it to the 12:01 showing tonight. I am actually running on empty right now and it's hard to keep my eyes open. Oh yeah a little trivia for the followers each day I have been drawing the individual Avengers I have been watching the movies to which they belong in preparation for seeing the upcoming movie. I am seeing it tomorrow the first showing. A Shout-Out to all those who are going to the movie tonight. I salute you! Avengers Assemble!!!

A Marvel-ous Avengers Week: THOR

Day Three of the Marvel-ous Week: THOR of Asgard ( as played convincingly by Chris Hemsworth). So I've decided that the sketches will be uploaded the day after on Saturday. On DVDs you never get the special features til after the movie comes out right. It has been a thrill to work on these pictures and I had thought of doing one pose then using that for the Big Picture on Friday but that's kind of cheating isn't it. So they will all be tweaked and also done in Graphite and Airbrush just like down at the park where I used to work. Good old Six Flags St. Louis. Shout out. Holla! Holla!
Anyway, God of Thunder (or Rock). Laying the Hammer Down Mightily. The Mighty Thor!

A Marvel-ous Avengers Week: Hulk

Day 2 of the Marvel-ous Week: Bruce Banner aka the Incredible Hulk (this time by played by newcomer to Superheroes Mark Ruffalo).  I think Ruffalo will do a great job, though I have only scene him in rom-coms like Just Like Heaven and 13 Going on 30.  I like hearing that they looked at Bixby's portrayal from the TV series. I have a soft spot for the Hulk. He is my favorite Comic book Character.  Ed Norton is definitely missing the fun.  His and Louie's movie was awesome though. Hopefully Mark will get his own movie.HULK SMASH BOX OFFICE!!!.
