OMG, the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is BRILLIANT!!!!
the Tiki
Oh wow, it didn’t sink in till I read your comment. I just thought “What the hell, a little demon in a tux is in those books?” Then it hit me, and it was great.
agreed, brilliant is the only word for that one, wow…
BATES!
PLease dont dignify that drivel with recognition. Downton Abbey is the biggest load of Toss.
I love Phil Noto as well. Good art thought, my vote goes to Bane and baby Nick Fury.
Or that could just be your opinion.
I wish I could print it out and hang it in my locker.
All of the sketch ups are really great so I have to say good job for finding all of the sketches. I do have to say that the Bates sketch is really awesome since I’ve been on a binge on Downton Abbey. I do love Anna’s pose since she’s also one of my favorite characters also.
What Paul said 🙂
Also, I really want to see Matthew Crawley as Captain Midlands.
I didn’t know that was a Downton Abbey reference. I thought it was a very strange Psycho drawing. Why Janet Leigh was dressed as a Mennoniet was beyond me but I figured it was some Phil Noto quirk.
Jessica Brown Findley, who plays Lady Crawley from Downtown Abbey, is a stunningly beautiful. I’ve never seen the show but I know that much
*beautiful woman
OMG this is the best weekly sketch up in a long, long time!
Black ops Kool-Aid Man is all kinds of awesome.
Took me a sec to get that Dragon Tattoo joke. Nice!
Also, can we PLEASE get Eric Powell on Swamp Thing!?!??!? I’m def into Paquette’s work, but if we could get a fill-in arc from Powell, that would be AWESOME!
I thought it was Batroc ze Leap-air?? Great week, I honestly can’t pick a favourite.
I want to read a Kool-Aid Man book right now! And the Girl with the dragon tattoo is wonderful.
Love that Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
The girl with the dragon tattoo eventually grows to be the woman who regrets the dragon tattoo
The Kool-Aid Man should have been in The Expendables 2. Maybe he’ll make it in 3.
And if anyone from Marvel sees this, I want a baby Nick Fury comic. And I don’t mean some few-pager in the next Strange Tales.
I second the call for Baby Nick Fury book.
Totally! I’d like to see Marvel do their own version of a Tiny Titans book…maybe with the X-Babies?
Baby Fury: Agent of B.L.A.N.K.E.T.
Tom Raney’s amazing Bane drawing is a perfect example of just how miscast Tom Hardy is in the role. Bane has got to be HUGE.
Check out Tom Hardy in the movie Bronson it might just change your mind on him being miscast.
People don’t actually look like that, and when they do, they don’t usually act that well.
Poor Bane, always being judged on all that muscle instead of who he actually is.
People don’t have size 43 shoes?
They do in Europe, but that’s like an 11 in US sizes.
So, same size feet is what I’m saying.
DRIVE!!!
Swamp-Thing and the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo are my favorites this week
The inking in the Darwin piece is incredible!
Raney’s Bane is breath-taking. I really miss him on Avengers Academy!
For a split second, you had me thinking Bane was in Avengers Academy.
Wait, I thought Eric Powell hated everything representing the big two? So why is he drawing Swamp Thing?
I asked Gene Ha for a baby in a spacesuit. The rest was his idea.
genius
Now we know what the eTrade baby is going as for Halloween 2012.
Nice seeing the Winter Soldier commission Walsh did for me. It will fit nicely next to my Bucky and Cap pieces done by Samnee.
He’s really got a Samnee vibe going there, hunh?
Exactly, Josh. I saw his work on another site’s weekly art feature and immediately thought of Samnee. I commissioned the Winter Soldier piece and bought some other art he had done previously. I definitely see Walsh as an up and coming artist and he is an incredibly nice guy to deal with. I’d suggest anyone that likes his stuff to let him know and pick something up.
God. Notto does great sketches, was is it that his comic work is bland. I just didn’t care for his Jonah Hex.
I want a comic starring Action Kool-Aid, Dragon Tattoo, and Lil’ Nick Fury. Somebody make that happen!
Also, really digging that Drive poster, Bane, and Homonculus. Great stuff all around.
They stepped off the boat and, to their surprise, were greeted by a small humanoid dragon in a tux and a wisp of a girl with cold, dark eyes. She opened her pierced lips to speak and said in an almost robotic voice, “Welcome to Fantasy Fucking Island.”
I gotta give my boy Ibrahim mad, embarrassing amounts of praise for his DRIVE piece! He is truly KILLIN`it!!!
Kool Aid man for the win
For the first time ever not one amazed me (although there is still some cool and well done art). Still a great article, cheers guys!
That is the worst picture of Darwin Cooke I’ve ever seen.
Lol, origin of cartoonist.
Gotta be one of my favorite sketch ups in awhile, love Drive, I see Ron Perlman and Albert Brooks likeness but Ryan Gosling looks more like Bill Pullman, course this is a novel 1st so it doesn’t matter. Walsh’s Winter Soldier is sweet, very close to Epting’s style. Darwin(nuff said). Dragon tattoo, love it and am looking forward to the direct to graphic novel series. Banes chunky boots sold this one for me. Swamp Thing looks like a character that would fair well in an Eric Powell Goon story and love all things B.P.R.D.
Compiling the Weekly Sketch Up must be the most enjoyable task at iFanboy. Dragon Tattoo made me laugh out loud and Baby Nick Fury makes me wish I was in charge at Marvel, because issue #1 would be headed to the presses tout de suite!
