Hey guys, are any of you into drawing ? In my spare time, I do Comic book art for various companies as both a penciller and a inker. Here's my rendition of Mr's Grimms favorite son Benjamin a.k.a. the Thing.

Just so you know that you're not alone in this universe, there certainly are, and quite a bit of talent at that. We'll let them speak for themselves. Nice work.:wink:

The thing that bothers me about your picture is the fact that you wrote "IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!" in Comic Sans.

No, but not for trying. I did attend a NYC Convention a couple of years ago and did submit some samples to a few Marvel editors that were there, but aside from having a agent, which I refuse to have, you also have to go through a lot of BS just to get hired with them. I have done some work for AC Comics, Mc Farlane Productions , and Top Cow just to name a few, but mostly as a inker.

He's certainly gone through some changes since I was a pup. But Bruce Wayne still has his hair.:wink:

I used to dabble in watercolours but my interest just faded out.One of my high school art teachers,who is one of our most respected artists,really liked some of my abstracts and had some of them as part of his permanent display in the school's art room.The thoughts of painting doesn't interest me in the slightest these days-it's too much like work.

I have heard getting a job there can be tough. And once you're there, the rewards are small. Back when I lived in New York, I knew a guy who used to be an editor with Marvel. He worked on a few titles and even helped to put together the 9-11 first responders tribute book ('Heroes'). But he left after a few years for a traditional publisher because the amount of work wasn't worth the relatively low pay.

I suppose working in comics is a bit like working in broadcasting (my former profession) -- there are probably many more people looking to get into it than there are jobs available. So it's tough to break in, unfortunately...

The work examples you posted look great to me (I'm not an artist but I am a longtime comics fan). Keep up the good work!

Nice work! Before I started playing bass, I wanted to be either a writer or a cartoonist. I used to draw all of the time when I was a kid, up until I was 16 when I got my first bass. I guess I never felt I was that great at it, and I found it a lot easier to express myself through music. Still, I would like to try to do some painting. I'm still into art and sort of thing. I just don't know what I'd paint, though. Maybe just sit down and see what comes out.

I am an artist. Drawing is not the art I practice. :P

I try, but like anything, I'm not that good at it. I go through waves where I'm really inspired to draw/paint, and often during those waves I get alot more fullfilment out of it than composing/playing music.

I'm relatively new to oil paints, like this was the second painting I did on a medium canvas. I did that a couple of weeks ago.

Again, like anything, I'm not that good at it, but I really love it. I can just totally loose myself in it. It's great.

I think we are all artists in one form or another. I'm a professional photographer and musician. I have drawn and painted as well. But the term "artist" covers a lot of territory. :wink:
