Fantastic Four 6

Fantastic More

All Four

I've added the Invisible Woman.

Now On to cleaning up and finishing the illustration.

Fantastic Four 3

Moving right along.

The Thing is a tough character. In more ways than one.

None of the team is complete yet. I am working on the basic outlines first, then I will refine everything.

Fantastic Four 2

I am making Progress. The Color Blue is a bit elusive for the Fantastic Costumes, But I like what I have for now.

You can see the pencil sketch behind the progressing Vector artwork. Feel free to give me opinions.

Fantastic Four

I have never drawn an picture of my favorite superheroes. The Fantastic Four.

Until Yesterday.

Step 1. Blue Pencil Sketch.

Step 2. Normal Pencil Cleanup.

Shazam! it's Captain Marvel

Well The Captain is complete.

Now to move on to a new image.

What to Do?

Maybe I should work on my Children's Books

Shazam! 3

I've made some subtle changes to Captain Marvel.

Here is my current image, and an image of the original Captain Marvel in the 1940's.

Superman's Company (DC comics) Sued the Captain and won. Then later bought Captain Marvel, but lost their right to use his name on the outside of a comic.

Because Marvel Comics had snatched up the Name and trademarked it for their Alien Superhero Captain Marvel.

I have always liked "The Big Red Cheese" as his arch villain Sivana called him. I still have a book from when I was six which collects certain stories from the 40's through the 70's.

Everyone knows His Magic word "Shazam!"

Gomer Pyle said it.

Spiderman (Tobey Maguire in 2002) said it.

Do you know what it means?

Shazam was the Wizard that endowed young, homeless, orphan Billy Batson with the Powers of Captain Marvel, by saying his name.

S	for the wisdom of Solomon

H	for the strength of Hercules

A	for the stamina of Atlas

Z	for the power of Zeus

A	for the courage of Achilles

M	for the speed of Mercury
