CLASSIC ARTWORK BY JIM LEE! WOLVERINE VS OMEGA RED!

I was going through one of my archived folders and I found this classic Marvel artwork of Wolverine vs. Omega Red by Jim Lee. This poster is over 15 years old. Yet it still looks amazing.... the perspective in this master shot is definitely on point. And the fluid presentation of the recoiled strikes helps the viewer to clearly imagine what's about to happen next, in this close-ranged "Adamantium war" .

I've never generated an Influence Map that showed the artists who have had great impacts on me and my art style. But If I ever do so, you can expect to see the likes of Terry Dodson, Joe Mad, Marc Silvestri and Jim Lee on that collage.

Jim Lee is just one of those artists that probably doesn't realize just how good he really is. I once saw in an interview that Jim Lee confessed, from way back in his high school days, that he was voted by his classmates to be "likely to start a comic company". Guess those prophetic words by his peers came to pass, since he became the founder of Wildstorm Comics and he's currently one of the top dogs at DC Comics.

SEXY SELFIE FANART OF CHEBEYAH!

Here's another selfie poster of Chebeyah, one of the dominant female characters in the DSNG Sci Fi Series! You can see that the final colored versions differed slightly from the original pencil sketch. And a few faithful fans helped me pick out the one that was best for use as the blog article's flagship image :)
Chebeyah has been around since DSNG Book 1, which was released waaay back in 2010 or so.
You can't really describe Chebeyah as "sexy and seductive"... she's more like "sexy and serious", and the loyal fans know what I mean!
Chebeyah is a female Kataran, one of the many alien races in DSNG. And there are many more pics of Chebeyah archived in this blog, just search for her name in the top left corner box!

SCI FI FUTURISTIC CONCEPT ARMOR AND COSTUMES - PART 6

Today I return to one of the favorite article series in this blog, featuring costume designs and concept armor! Most fans of this blog are used to seeing Sci Fi designs here, but I often include Fantasy armor designs as well. There is a difference between Sci Fi and Fantasy, even though those two genres are closely related [and a few years ago  I wrote a blog article that explains the difference over HERE].
Anyway, the bulk of the concept art presented in this article are from various sources, such as Huaban.com and DrawCrowd.com.
BTW, Huaban.com is a Korean site, so I wasn't able to find the names of all the artists behind the works. But if you know the artists' name, just let me know on the DSNG facebook page.
