Sketchbook Friday

Characters © Their respective owners

I hope you all have enjoyed having some finished pieces to view the last couple of days. I have been doing a job on-site for last couple of days and will continue for the next few. Getting anything else done is proving difficult as time goes on. So expect a few sketchbook days ahead. These are some doodles I did as a warm up.

Ultra Boy - Legion of Super-Heroes Five Years Later

One of my favorite characters of the Legion. Actually one half of my favorite couple. Ultra Boy has extremely similar powers as Superboy and Mon-El, but can only use them one at a time. It's like having to flip a mental switch to go from invulnerability to ultra-strength. Ultra Boy has to be very shrewd about his powers and how to use them. As you can imagine he does keep invulnerability on as a default. Oh, and the other half of this couple would be his long time girlfriend Phantom Girl. But she wasn't around in this storyline.

This is the last of the batch for Michael. Thanks again!

Celeste Rockfish - Legion of Super-Heroes Five Years Later

One of the original character created in the Five Years Later storyline of the Legion was Celeste Rockfish. She was a detective (her name was a twist on Jim Rockford of The Rockford Files tv show) who learned she had Green Lantern powers she was severely injured. She joined the Legion and adopted the code name NEON. Thanks again to Michael for this request!

Ebay News: I have a couple of pieces on eBay right now that end on Friday. One features Pixie, the other features Phoenix and Cyclops.

Timber Wolf - Legion of Super-Heroes Five Years Later

This is a version of Timber Wolf not seen to often. This is the look was featured when he had his own book. I have some original art from that run drawn by Joe Philips. This may be the first time I have drawn Timber Wolf this way. It was fun! Thanks again to Michael for this commission.

Also for anyone interested, I have a pin-up of Scarlett (G.I. Joe) ending on eBay today. Check it out here.

It's gonna be a Legion of Super-Heroes week as I finish up the long awaited Five Years Later commissions for Michael. Today it's Dawnstar. She no longer had her wings during the FYL storyline but I wanted to represent what she once had so I did a ghost image of the wings with gray Copic markers. I like how it turned out. Thanks again Michael!
