New Comic Book Characters Art Ryan Reynolds As Green Lantern

My new comic book character painting is of Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern. Work is in progress on a Green Lantern movie starring Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan and Green Lantern. From what I understand the costume will actually be CG. It’ll be interesting to see how they pull that off.

This painting is based on the Entertainment Weekly cover that features Reynolds as Green Lantern. Like all of my paintings, this one was done in oils. I apologize for not having a break like I usually do from pencils to final product, but I was working on a commission at the same time I was doing this and it slipped my mind to get photos of the progress.

I have this painting up for sell on eBay. If you would like to buy it just click this Green Lantern link and check it out.

Creating Your Own Comic Book Superheroes

Today lets create a comic book superhero. Creating comic book superheroes is not as simple as it may seem, it takes a lot of thought. You have to think of a name for your hero, what powers your hero will have, what his costume will look like and what your hero will look like as a civilian.

I’m going to start with the powers my superhero will have. He will be able to shot flames from his hands, create and throw fireballs and he will be able to fly using currents of heat waves that come from his body.

Now that I know what powers my hero will have I can come up with a name for him and I will name him Fire Bug. He will be a young man in his early twenties with black hair in his civilian life, but he will have flaming hair when he’s Fire Bug. Now lets design his costume.

This is going to be a very basic drawing just to see what the costume will look like. First I’ll start with basic shapes for the body front, back and side view using a simple pose.


Fire Bug won’t be wearing a mask so I can put in the facial features, the flaming hair and put in some muscle tone.


Now I can put in the costume design.


I’ll add some color with color pencils and I’m done.


If you would like to see more detail of how to do this check out my How To Make Your Own Superhero video and then go create your own comic book superhero and see how much it can be.

Comic Book Character Commission Update – The Martian Manhunter

As you can see my painting of the Martian Manhunter is coming along. This is the third comic book character commission I have done for the guy that ordered this one. As you can see I have added some detail to the background. You can compare this update to the first post of this Martian Manhunter Commission.

I will start working on the Martian Manhunter himself now. I hope to have this painting done by the end of this week.

Comic Book Character Drawing Of Wolverine

This is my latest comic book character sketch card drawing. It is of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine from X-men Origins. I have this sketch card up for sale right now on eBay so if you’re interested in owning this sketch card head on over there and make you’re bid.

Below is a video of me actually creating the Wolverine sketch card. This is my first live video of me doing one of my comic book character artwork instead of using photos. This is a very edited version of the whole video. I’m planning on offering a limited edit video, which shows everything including mistakes and corrections as a download and on DVD. I’ll have more information on that as soon as I decide if I’m going to do it or not.
