The X-Men by Mr. Hawthorne

Week One - The X-men


I had planned on painting this, but ran out of time. This week is spoken for work wise, so I'm just going to post the pencils. If I have more time I'll try to ink this piece.

I have something else planned for week two of our "What if Comic Twart ran Marvel?" theme. So stay tuned.

Mike

PS - After I started this I realized that I forgot Beast! So, here's a small piece I did for a fan a few weeks back.

A super heroes obsessed friend gave me the nickname of "Rogue" so I have a soft spot for the X-Men. Love the amount of detail in the entire piece. Sweet!

Geez Mike... this is amazing. I'm always blown away by your clean lines and eye for detail. Love the composition, and that Storm...! Wow.

Stunning work, Mr H!

That's pretty spiffing stuff man. Would love to see it inked if you get a chance.

Doc - thanks man! they were the most work. Had to do Nightcrawlers face a few times before I got it right.

Dan - Thanks, pal!

Mike Hawthorne said...

Thanks, Tom. I'm still holding out to hope to either ink or paint it, but I'd love to see you ink it for the sheer joy of seeing how you'd do it :)

It's nice to see Phoenix back and Wolverine's claw length is perfect. Awesome drawing Mike!

Dan Barrett said...

That afterthought painting of the beast looks amazing. It looks like a print with all of the layers of color. I'm flabbergasted by your sense of control.

Mike Hawthorne said...

Coolguy - thanks man! Had to go way be with the team I'd like to draw.

Dan - Thanks! It's drawn in blue and black ink, so it's fairly easy to be very direct with it... if you don't worry too much about how easily you can destroy the under-drawing :-O

Anyway, glad you guys dig the art so much.

Mike
