J'onn J'onzz - Conventionless Convention Sketch

This is J'onn how he looked when he was featured in the Legion of Super-Heroes in the 30th century. Seems Martians live a long time. And it all started because Dave Cockrum drew J'onn as a background guest at the wedding of Bouncing Boy and Duo Damsel in Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes #200. :)

Conventionless Convention Sketch Update

Just wanted to update everyone real quick that I will not have all the sketches done by November 17th as planned. Pretty embarrassed by that actually. I have had a number of things that have taken my time away from the sketches and Perils on Planet X. I am digging into the list pretty strong this week as you can see and I do plan to be done with the last 12 by Thanksgiving.

Thank you for your patience and as always thank you for your interest in my work.

Gene

Terra-Man - Conventionless Convention Sketch


Terra-Man © DC Comics

Here is a blast from the past. Is Terra-Man even around in the new DCU? When he was first introduced he seemed like he could be a pretty cool villain. Kind of a Clint Eastwood western character. But as time went on he was almost a Yosemite Sam type character in that he was played more for humor. Too bad. Still, how can you not like the image of a man from the old west, using weapons of alien worlds, riding a winged horse through space?

I also recorded the making of this one. Though the video stopped for some reason near the end. And I didn't bother recording the ink drying to the point where I could add the star field. Still, I hope it is interesting to you.

Bettie - Conventionless Convention Sketch



It's not too often I get a request for Bettie, but it is always fun when I do. And so is the research!

I also recorded the process for this one. Check it out below or on my YouTube Channel.
