Comic Book Character Commission – Superman vs Darkseid

This Superman vs. Darkseid painting is the fifth in a series of DC comic book character commissions that a guy named Zach has had done. As I mentioned in the Wonder Woman Commission post, he also plans to have two more DC comics characters done before the end of the year, which will makeup all of the original Justice League.


Zach also tells that in 2011 will have me do Marvel comic characters from the Avengers. He has had me do the commissions based on models of the characters and if he continues that form, it will be interesting to see what he has in store for me.

Okay, these are the steps I took to do this painting.

Jim Lee One Of The Best

I’m a comic book fan from way back. I go back to the hay days of Jack Kirby, Jim Steranko, Neal Adams and Steve Ditko just to name a few. There are some of today’s comic book artists that I like and one of the top ones is Jim Lee. He is one of those artists that seem to put a lot of thought and effort into his drawings.

His use of angles and perspective when he draws the human figure reminds me sometimes of Jim Streranko’s stuff back when he was doing “Nick Fury, Agent of Shield”. Jim has a great flair for dramatic poses and his backgrounds are simply fantastic. When you put Jim Lee’s pencils with Scott Williams inks you have yourself an unbeatable combination.

I’m not a big fan of Jim Lee’s writing, but I love his artwork so he goes down as one of my top favorites. Be sure to Check out his work. You can also see Jim Lee in action at my new Comic Book Video site.
