Everyday is Thors-day!

I decided to post these two pieces together for obvious reasons. I had two friends each order a commission of Thor recently. One wanted Thor in his new, Coipel-designed, costume and the other one wanted my take on the mythological Thor. I did both these pieces back to back and had a blast with each one! My loyalty keeps swaying back and forth to which one I like best--I hope that says something to how much I liked these. As an added bonus, anyone who knows me knows that I got into comics reading G.I.Joe but it was at a flea market that I was really sucked into the Marvel Universe when I picked up one of Walt Simonson's issues of THOR. So the guy holds a fond place in my heart.

Sister of WhereBlade and WhoBlade

I only just realized this as I was posting this commission, but Witchblade is the character that I've known the least about when asked to do the commission. I hope it doesn't show! I still had a lot of fun doing this--it's not often I get to draw tough, curvy women in tattered clothing. Not a bad way to make a living!

(by the way, I take a lot of pride in coming up with
these really stupid post titles. You're welcome.)

Speedy Commission...That I Took My Time in Doing

Here's a drawing I did of the most recent Speedy of the Teen Titans!
You really can't go wrong with archers. Tell me one comic book archer that sucks. And then you've got the cool hood and everything...very cool all 'round.

More Heroes...and Villains!

Here are three more images from Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC!
Thing VS Terrax (I used the classic Byrne run as my reference), Hawksmoor (from Stormwatch/Authority), and Zorro! I gotta believe you can't go wrong asking an artist to do a drawing of Zorro. All were a lot of fun to do.

If anyone out there has any drawings I did at the show and
you haven't sent them to me I'd love to get a scan or a photo and post it here!

More from Heroes

Two more from the Heroes pre-order list.
I was really pumped when I got the Snake Plissken commission because it gave me an excuse to sit down and rewatch Escape From New York. Y'know, for research. I mean, it had been almost 6 months since I last watched it. Apparently I'm not the only Snake fan--this sketch sat in the protfolio through most of the show and almost everyone who came by commented on that. I'm definitely going to have to do more drawings of Snake.
And, of course, the image below is of the iconic, bad-girl, British super spy: Tara Chace. A character I always love returning to.

(my internet connection seems to be working fine so,
fingers crossed, I'll get some more posts up real soon!)

Heroes Return

Well, another Heroes Con has come and gone and I'm a little sadder for it.
Now I have to wait a whole year to return to what I consider to be the best convention out there. Got to see a lot of familiar faces and meet some great new people.
Here are a couple of pre-order drawings I did before heading to Charlotte.
Hope you like them!
I have several more images to post and I'll try to get them up soon.
Right now my internet is down (burned up modem, I think) and I'm posting this
from the local cafe's unreliable network. Stay tuned!

Heroes Sketch Pre-Order

I will be attending the Heroes Convention in Charlotte next weekend and
I'm taking a handful of con sketch pre-orders. Anyone interested in ordering a sketch
prior to the show can contact me at :

brihurtt@hotmail.com
(I may not be able to get back to you until late Sunday/early Monday
as I will be out of touch this weekend)

The sketches will run $50. I will also be doing these at the show of course but there they are first come, first serve, on a day to day basis. If the history is any measure I tend to stay pretty busy at this show.
Heroes is a great show all 'round and I recommend it to everyone!
