Before any of you accuse me of being too ambitious for painting my entry this week, remember that Bernet and Toth both drew TORPEDO. Wasn't shit I was gonna do with just ink that was gonna come close to what those two masters, both artistic heroes of mine, did. So, I did some shuckin' and jivin' and hoped for the best...
Also, sorry for the bad scan.

Yikes that's scary! Wow, Mike!
Holy cow, Mike. Beautiful work, the values are just blowing me away here. Great scowl.
holy crap, dude! that's awesome!
Torpedo! Good idea, chaps.
My word verification is "evoll". How apt.
Have always loved Torpedo, looks great really looking forward to the rest of the week!
That's class man. A lot of freakin' work like.
You?
Suck.
Great work, as usual, Mike. You've consistently set the bar high for the rest of of...3 weeks and going strong!
Thanks everyone! I really appreciate it. :)
TORPEDO, and in fact Jordi Bernet, are favorites of mine so hopefully that shows here. Bernet is one of my biggest influences of my early work, and continues to have a say in how I draw now.
Not to mention Toth!
Steve - You guys are all monsters. If I take it easy, you'll all eat me alive! ;)
Best,
Mike
That looks frigging unbelievable.
Thank you.
really really really nice, sir.
DANG! I feel like I have been hit with an iron fist in my face! Gorgeous washes and perspective, Mike. SOmehow I really love how the "white" blood fades out in the sidewalk cracks.
It's on! ;)
Cheers,
Francesco
Wow! This is amazing! This is gonna be a week of really cool art! :)
Mike, Mike Mike. Next week, maybe you should put a little more effort in.
Man, this is incredible. The varying tones and just the clean but corrupt style is absolutely stunning. Couldn't be more impressed and more intimidated.
Hawthorne, always startin' us strong!
This thing has so much attitude!
A brilliant piece Mike - feel like we're spying on this sordid scene from a first floor window.
Wow!
Not only is this this an awesome piece but you guys have picked a character I totally love to read! I believe Dynamite is re releasing Torpedo in hard cover. Btw. I love the blood running down the cracks in the cobblestones!
Yeah, the white blood is a really nice touch
Hey! You folks are entirely too nice to me. You're gonna spoil me! ;)
Anyway, I thank you and am really eager to see everyone's work this week! Luca is too fun to draw! :)
Mike
Wow, cool Mike! Great take on the character! And you picked an angle Bernet would never do.
Are you just daring everyone else?

Wow. Friggin amazing; love the downshot, and the values are excellent!
Bad.Ass.Seriously.
Wow.
Great idea, love the perspective, everything works.
Congrats.
This is b-a-n-a-n-a-s! Bananas awesome that is!
HA HA! You folks are awesome! Thank you! You make me blush :)
Mike
The perspective on this is absolutely killer, and I love the blood effect washing through the brick. Really excellent piece of art.
DAMN! I turn my back for a minute and you cranked out a DOPE Torpedo piece!
pure fire, sir!
Thanks fellas. I do my best ;)
Mike
love the brick work and the different tones you reached with the inks/ink wash?
Thanks!
It's actually a mix of water color and acrylic.
Best,
mike
