| Hyper The Phenomenal |
[Jul. 10th, 2009|09:05 am] |
A quick one I did last night... it's another redesign for Warren Ellis' Whitechapel. The only description was:
"Don-Vin, also known as Hyper the Phenomenal, is ray gun wielding spaceman. He has a girlfriend named Winifred and is enemies with a woman named Dolores. He does not posses any known superpowers."
I don't know about you, but to me a guy named HYPER THE PHENOMENAL must actually be the keyboard player in a psychedelic/glam rock band circa 1973.

| International Patents, Inc |
[Jul. 2nd, 2009|05:33 pm] |
A redesign for Warren Ellis' Whitechapel. The description was:
"Quentin Locke (played by Harry Houdini) was created by Charles Logue and appeared in The Master Mystery (1919). Quentin Locke is a Federal Agent (for the Department of Justice) who takes on the gang known as International Patents, Inc., who are dedicating to stopping social progress and who are led by Q the Automaton, an evil (albeit clunky) robot. (Okay, technically speaking he's a man in a metal suit.) Q the Automaton has on his/its side the Dictagraph, an advanced eavesdropping device, DeLuxe Dora, a femme fatale, and the rare Oriental poison, Dhatura Stramonium, but they're all no match for Quentin Locke, an escape artist extraordinaire and creator of an explosive bullet which puts paid to Q." Also, the group had another member, named "The Madagascar Strangler" (bottom right).

| The Ghost Exterminator |
[Jun. 25th, 2009|11:20 pm] |
"The Ghost Exterminator was created by Gelett Burgess and appeared in Cosmopolitan and possibly a few other magazines from 1904 through 1906.
The Exterminator is Hoku Tamanochi, a Japanese San Franciscan who uses an ancient Japanese formula and his family's traditional skills to exorcise the ghosts of San Francisco. Hoku sprays the ghosts with an ancient Japanese powder when he finds them; this turns them semi-solid, and he then uses a bellows to capture them. He then seals them in bottles, thus permanently trapping them."
For Warren Ellis'Whitechapel.

This is a Johnny Cash portrait I started but wouldn't know how to finish...
"I hear the train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend,
And I ain't seen the sunshine,
Since, I don't know when..."

| The Gadget Man |
[May. 25th, 2009|08:22 pm] |
Another redesign for Warren Ellis' Whitechapel:
Click Rush, the Gadget Man, was created by Lester Dent and appeared in Crime Busters from 1937 to 1938. Rush was a tall, lean, strong young man with brown hair and eyes. (Brown was his favorite color; he usually dressed all in brown.) Rush was an amateur investigator who invented gadgets towards this end. He'd come to the "big city" with the "notion of selling super-modern, crook-catching gadgets to the police." After the cops laughed him out of the station house he went out on his own.
Well, okay. He was prompted by a talking toad: Bufa, of the species Bufonidae, which feeds on snails, slugs, insects, and such undesirable things.... "(I'm) eager to hire an expert private detective to investigate crimes I think need solving." The toad succeeds in convincing Click to solve crime (the $10,000 fee for each crime helped, too.) but proved to be an only average boss, enjoying giving Click the razz and showing a mean sense of humour.

I did this quick digital painting for a thread over at Whitechapel. It's a redesign of an old character from the 40s.

| The Octopus |
[May. 14th, 2009|09:21 pm] |
For Whitechapel:
"One of the more outré of the pulp characters—and given the genre, that’s quite saying something, believe me—the Octopus was actually the villain of the piece in his single issue, The Octopus v1 #4, 1939, written by...well, it's not exactly clear. It might be Norvel Page, or it might be Ejler and Edith Jacobsen. A rather over-the-top mad scientist, the Octopus worked from a big city hospital and plotted world conquest. His appearance might explain his desire to dominate the world; he's sea-green, with four "suction-cupped weaving tentacles" set above "hideously malformed" legs. He wears a small mask, and behind it can be seen two enormous, luminous, purple eyes. He was the leader of the Purple Eyes, a cult bent on world domination and mass destruction. The Octopus’ chosen method was an "ultra-violet ray" which devolved men and women and turned them into deformed, life-hating monsters hungry for human flesh and glowing with “ultraviolet purple.” Against the Octopus was set Jeffrey Fairchild, a young millionaire philanthropist (he eventually stopped the Octopus, of course). He had three identities. The first was Jeffrey Fairchild, hospital administrator. The second was was kindly Dr. Skull, the old man who made a practice of helping the poor in the slums. (His good works didn’t help him when everyone thought that he was the Octopus, however) In his other identity he was the “Skull Killer,” who fought crime and left a skull-imprint, ala the Spider, on his enemies. Fairchild was assisted by Carol Endicott, Dr. Skull’s nurse."

This is the cover I did for INKSHOT, an upcoming comic anthology by a bunch of Brazilian creators (I'm also doing one of the stories, and my father did another). I'm really happy with how this turned out.

| Detective Eye |
[Apr. 29th, 2009|10:52 am] |
"The strange being known as The Eye appeared as a speaking flaming eyeball in the sky. It had powers such as generating deadly rays of heat, expand and shrink, could fly and hover, projecting a searchlight beam and appear just about anywhere. It often teamed up with Jack Barrister to fight crime. Space and time means nothing to the Eye and can use this to help bring justice to the entire world."
For Whitechapel.
