Cap for Tazi

Here is a commission I did that I got through Periscope.

It was for a little girl who had stage 4 cancer, and she never gave up and kept fighting, and eventually went into remission and currently has a clean bill of health.

The kicker is that this particular girl loves Captain America. And her inspiration to keep fighting through cancer was that 'Cap wouldn't give up, so neither will I.'

This touched my heart so much, I am honored that I got to do this piece for this young girl who fought like a tiger to beat cancer.

She is also a huge fan of Chris Evan's Cap, so it was requested I do the Age of Ultron costume, which I was happy to do, because lets face it, it' awesome!

Thanks everyone, and if anyone if interested in a commission like this feel free to contact me for pricing!

Oh My Stars and Stripes!

Hey everyone.

Still playing a bit of catch up on older art, here is a Captain America piece I did over the 4th of July weekend.  I actually started this one and showed some of the process on Periscope. It really is a pretty awesome social media platform.

I really love drawing Cap. Like a lot. 

Thanks everyone! Feel free to reach out to me if you would like a drawing like this as well! I love doing commissions.

Gift O' Freedom

Hey y'all

Been a little swamped lately, but I do have a plethora of art that I am sort of back-logged on.

The nice part of that is maybe that'll give me incentive to actually post more often!

So since it's the Christmas season, here is a fun little poster for all occasions.

You can give it as a last minute Christmas gift.

Or an early 4th of July gift.

Or a gift to the most patriotic person you know.

I feel so much freedom.

Pick one up for yourself!

SUPER Size Me!

Hey-O!

So occasionally I get struck with the desire to draw really obese superheroes. I have done this on multiple occasions, and they are super fun to draw.

See what I did there. 'Super' fun.

Anyway, with the success of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, I made a drawing of Cap and his second unofficial partner, Falcon!

So there ya go. I always say this, but I fully intend on making more of these.

SO if you have a superhero you'd like to see overweight, let me know, and I'll see what I can do!

Until next time!

Da-Da-Dynamic Duos!

Oh my dear bloggers,

I am terribly sorry that I haven't posted in months. Literally. Months.

And there is so much to catch up on! The biggest thing by far is that I am now engaged to the woman of my dreams! She's pretty amazing, and I pulled some fun pieces of art for her for her proposal.

I decided to make her a small book that was centered all around "Dynamic Duos" and I illustrated 4 duos that are famous in the Disney world, and 4 duos in the comic book world. And they were super fun to draw! Especially the Disney stuff!

So I will start off with the disney ones that were in the book, not necessarily in order, but the ones I like the most to the least!

I absolutely love this picture. 

It's just adorable in all the right ways. 

*ahem* Moving on.

This was a very close second.

 Mostly because I have always wanted to

 do a Woody and Buzz drawing, 

and this was the perfect excuse for one.

Now this one was just straight up fun to draw. 

So much fun. 

And this one is fun, 

drawing Marlin was great, 

he has such fun contours in his face. 

And now onto the comic book drawings!

Good 'ol Captain America and Bucky.

 For obvious reasons, this was my favorite. 

Iron Man and War Machine was 

also super fun to draw.

 Really loved this one. 

The idea of this one was more the thing

 that made me love this picture.

 Not so much the execution, but the idea.

And last but not least, Batman and Robin. 

Most people that know me know that I'm not a huge fan 

of Batsy here, but these two definitely

 made sense for the story I wrote. 

So here they are.

And those are the illustrations that I made for my wonderful bride-to-be. She loved them and has a small little book that she can show her friends how dorky and cheesy her future husband is. And I'm okay with that. 

Now I have a good couple of things that I have to post up. but I don't want to overload this post with art, so I shall return with more comic pages and more fun artsy fartsy pieces! Talk to you later blogdience!

The Assemblers!

Howdy blog enthusiasts!

So I have been doing a lot of work for Golem lately, I mean just look at the recent posts...there all Golem things. So as a little refresher I wanted to do something with some good ol' superheroes.

I have wanted to try out a technique that I learned from my esteemed professor and friend Dove McHargue, where you pencil an illustration, texture the board with clear gesso, and then paint on top of it and detail with pencils. So I have been wanting to try it for a long time, and I decided the other day
I would do it dagnabbit!

I was puzzled as to what I should draw for the first test run of this technique, so who did I look to in my hour of need? No other than my man CAPTAIN AMERICA! As most people who know me know I am a gigantic Cap fan, so naturally I would draw him. But I did want to draw the WWII movie version, because I really dug that costume and I thought Chris Evans was awesome. And then of course to compliment the great Cap, I had to have the not-as-good-as-Cap-great-but-still-really-great Iron Man.

The men who lead the Avengers, bicker a lot, and eventually butt heads in the Civil War, I thought it was just a good homage to these great heroes. So here it is, the Cap and Iron Man pin up!

The image gets slightly fuzzier at the bottom. 

Unfortunately this was just a tad bit larger

 than what my scanner could get. 

But you get the idea.

As I said, its acrylic and colored pencil on illustration board. I am pretty happy with the final product, I am looking forward to doing more of these in the future between my comics! Hope you all enjoyed it, let me know what you think, and if anyone would like a print of this, feel free to let me know and I'd be happy to work out a deal with you!

Thanks,

Colin

Captain America vs. Ultraman!

Hey y'all,

  So last post I mentioned that I went to Japan, well specifically I went to Tokyo, and it was AWESOME! But it was a class trip for two weeks, so though we did have a wonderful time, we had assignments to do when we got back. One in particular is that we had to make and 8 page mini comic (at least I chose to do a mini comic).

So I am a HUGE Captain America fan so I wanted to do something with him, and I got to become a pretty big fan or Ultraman while I was in Japan. Basically if you don't know who Ultraman is, he is kind of like a Japanese superhero who gets power from the sun. I figured it would be fun to have Captain America get into a tussle with Ultraman, over a complete misunderstanding.

So there you all have it. I hope you enjoy it, I had a lot of fun working on these pages, and who knows, maybe one day I will put some color into it! That could be a fun little project one of these days. But anyway, hope you all have a wonderful day, and I will try to post more often and not take a break from it like I have been. Hope you enjoyed it, and tell your friends!
