SHE-HULK ARTWORK AND FRANK CHO COMICS!

A while back I did an article about Frank Cho and his Cheesecake Styled artwork; and in that article we took a look at a Jungle Girl statuette along with She-Hulk comic art by Frank [that previous post is over HERE]. Today I'll just continue traveling down that vein and showcase some art from Frank and some from yours truly, the DSNG Artist [on the left side].
The poster I drew was purely imaginative; Spider-man and She-Hulk have never been known to show tremendous emotions towards one another - and I doubt they've ever shared even a casual cheek kiss. Spidey's tastes in women is something that I've never really explored in depth; but I've noted that he does have a thing for blondes [Felicia Hardy, Gwen Stacey etc]...
Frankly, "one hard hump" from She-Hulk would probably break Spidey's pelvis, but thats another topic for another type of blog.

She-Hulk [Jennifer Walters] was created back in 1980 by the legendary Stan Lee and artist John Buscema. And yes, she does look like a sexy female alien with green skin and huge muscles. Although she is often treated like a B-Class character [a supporter / assistant to the true main protagonist], She-Hulk is a strong character with A-Class potential. She has super strength, speed and agility, along with regenerative healing powers. She is cousins with the original Incredible Hulk, Bruce Banner. And over the years, she's had feuds with Rulk, aka the Red-Hulk, combating against him with the help of the Lady Liberators, an all-female group made up of several popular [and unpopular] Marvel Super-heroines.

These next posters and wallpapers of She-Hulk [shown below] were done by Frank Cho a few years ago, in the Hulk #7, Hulk #8 and Hulk #9 comic books from the series tagged as Hulk Volume 2. Most of the time, I've drawn inspiration from the works of my art mentor Terry Dodson [samples of his work are over HERE]. But I will honestly confess that Frank Cho has taught me quite a few things over the years, as I've learned various tricks by observation of his "bodacious curvy works". Frank makes no excuses for drawing voluptuous females with big boobs & big butts, knowing that he is using it as a ploy to get fanboys to buy his art books, comic books and his posters. And that scheme works flawlessly all the time, because men are "visual creatures".

THE FUTURISTIC JAGUAR C-X75 CONCEPT SPORTS CAR!

Having debuted as a prototype at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, the Jaguar C-X75 is anything but a tame beast. Having been designed with the themes like "sci fi futuristic super car" in mind, this hybrid electric car goes from 0 to 62 mph in about 3.4 seconds, while its top speed is 205 mph. The name of the vehicle X75 was intended to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the British founded Jaguar Motor Company.

While having a lightweight aluminum frame and having a plethora of advanced internal controls, this car is equipped with diesel fed micro-gas-turbines [which power the batteries and replace the traditional 4-stroke engine], a power control Eden, and fingertip control buttons. The powerful compact gas turbines are linked to the four electric motors, and those four electric motors drive the four wheels and produce about 778 horsepower. Tagged as a hybrid sports car, Jaguar announced back in May 2011 that the base price range for the C-X75 will be between 1.15 million and 1.48 million dollars. Yeah, that's a bit pricey for a "hybrid". And the vehicle's production doesn't start till 2013. Lets hope that Jaguar hasn't forgotten about the phrase "better priced competition" :)

JOANNA SHARI GALLERY AND ASUMI KOJIMA - SEXY CURVES

Most fan boys know Joanna Shari, one of the popular urban hip-hop models who is half-Italian and half-American. Standing at 5 feet 3 inches tall and having the dress measurement of 36-26-41, Joanna was born in 1986 [she is now 26 years old] and she resides in the NY / NJ area. She commonly does modeling for magazines along with photoshoots for annual calenders. She's been featured in King Magazine, Smooth Mag, Showcase, XXL, Mixed Mag and a host of others. I've posted several pinups of Joanna in this blog; and I often use her as a drawing reference for creating posters of the female characters in the DSNG sci fi series.


 

One of those sexy characters is Mrs. Asumi Kojima. And she was introduced in DSNG Chronicles Book 7. Although she has an hourglass figure and a sultry appearance, Asumi is actually a villain. She is an affluent business woman, the CEO of Zanja Design Corporation - a company that produces a wide variety of upscale baggage items. And she is also married to filthy rich business man called Mr. Kojima, who has a large weapons smuggling syndicate in the mega state of South Philadelphia [one of the six mega states on planet Avera]. Asumi Kojima has dress measurements of 34DD-24-43 and she is 5 feet 5 inches tall, although she is fond of wearing heeled pumps to boost herself in height.

 

Asumi is shown above. And Shiro-Kira's costume was designed to resemble a sleek Japanese karate uniform. It's almost a female Assassin's Creed costume, but far more futuristic.

 

In the DSNG Book 7 storyline, through a covert associate named Mr. Zen, Asumi is introduced to Carl Rozenberger, the director of the NCI - the National Crime Investigation Agency, which is similar to the FBI. And with much effort, Carl cajoles her into taking up a gritty job on his behalf. Therefore, Asumi is sponsored to take up her alternate identity: thus she becomes the assassin Shiro-Kira. Shiro-Kira is a martial arts expert, skilled in the legendary White Lotus combat technique.... one of the two special techniques taught by an old martial arts instructor known as Sensei Yamaguchi. The Sensei is Asumi's uncle and he was introduced first in the short 150-page story titled DSNG TALES: UNUSUAL SUSPECT. And the overview of that story with pictures is over HERE.

Although she is a caring mother of 3 adult children [she doesn't look like a milf, but she actually is; since she gained some extra weight after she had the kids], Asumi also has a vicious side, since her uncle trained her in lethal martial arts for many years, dating back to her high school and college days. Asumi is also extremely clever. And as a fighter, she is always ready to fight dirty, in order to gain the victory. While most DSNG sci fi fans are familiar with Kinera Foxx the golden assassin [whose colors are mainly gold and yellow], yet Shiro Kira is also another formidable adversary, whose costume colors are white and gray.

You can download the 530-page ebook DSNG Book 7, where Asumi Kojima is included within the storyline over HERE!

IRON MAN 3 VILLAIN! - IRON PATRIOT BEHIND THE SCENES PHOTO LEAK!

All right, The Avengers 2012 movie is still breaking records at the box office, but the filming on the Ironman 3 movie is currently going on, over at Wilmington, North Carolina. Robert Downey Jr. is returning in the entertaining role of Tony Stark and the movie is slated for release on May 3 2013. Earlier today the buzz around the Web is tied to a new costume for one of the villains for Iron-man 3 [specifically a character named Eric Savin, who will be played by actor James Badge Dale]. In the Marvel comics historical archives, Eric is an army soldier who gets injured in a "fake war front" and he is crippled / disabled by a landmine explosion, which his jeep drives over. But due to technological breakthroughs, he is literally reanimated and transformed into a cyborg killing machine called Coldblood-7, who has one-mechanical eye [like Cyborg from Teen Titans] and lots of artificial organs.

But here is the twist: the original blue colored armor for Coldblood-7 is not anything like the Ironman armor in the comic books [check out the sample classic comic image of Coldblood on the right]. Yet for the forthcoming  Iron-Man 3 movie, Eric Savin [aka Coldblood-7] is being given the Iron Patriot armor, perhaps making him a super soldier who previously could not walk. We are not certain of what his legs will look like... he may even have giant tractor treads for all we know, since it appears that the lower half of his costume is currently outfitted for CGI enhancements [see the two "behind the scenes" pics below].


The Iron Patriot armor was worn by Norman Osborn the leader of the Dark Avengers, one of the arch-rivals of Spiderman, shortly after the Marvel Civil War events of 2007 - which culminated in Spidey foolishly revealing his identity to the whole world, and Captain American got killed towards the end of that storyline. Osborn stole the armor pieces from Stark Industries and put them together, but he didn't know how to create the repulsor-ray generators. Thus the Uni-beam source on the chest of the Iron Patriot is a star, as opposed to a triangle or circle.

Anyway, take a look at the red-white-and-blue armor of Norman Osborn, the original Iron Patriot [who led a team of Dark Avengers on a peculiar conquest against the real Avengers] several years ago, along with these behind the scenes images of actor James Badge Dale [who plays Eric Savin and the Iron Patriot character].

PAWGS, LATINAS, & URBAN MODELS WITH TATTOOS - SEXY OR NOT?

I did some browsing over the weekend, while collecting sexy pin-up samples from around the Web; often the poses that I choose to draw are actually based on real-life models partaking in photoshoots. Of course I often tweak the eventual proportions of the drafted female character, and that's my prerogative.
Anyway as I browsed, I noticed something that made me feel a bit... ambivalent. And by that I mean I am rather undecided, about how much body-paint is too much, upon the body of a young model.

As for guys, we really aren't built for eloquence and adorable beauty. Men ought to be tough and rugged, to a certain degree. And those of you who know of the rugged men who compete as MMA fighters are aware that a lot of those guys are covered in tats from their necks down to their toes.

I'm in my early-30s and I know that having multiple tats are tied to the traits of the hip-hop culture. Yet there was a time that excessive tattoos was more of a "rock & metal thing" than a "hip-hop thing". But with the ascension of Lil Wayne and other young rappers over the past 10 years that have been covered with an overload of body-paint, it seems like the younger generations find it extremely appealing to cover themselves with tattoos.

Sometimes, editors for King, Show Case or Smooth Girl Magazine will hire digital artists to use Photoshop and blot out excessive tattoos, so that they are not seen as a distraction to the inherent beauty of the pawg / latina / urban model featured within the Magazine pages. Now take a look at these "unPhotoshoped" Hip Hop Cake models, and you can be the judge... have some of them gone too far with the tattoos, or do they look even more beautiful and sexy to you with the tats? Plus, consider the placement  of their tattoos and imagine them without the scribbles on their skin... and you be the judge on whether it enhances their beauty or not.
