New picture I did: Aquaman

[Shadow]

Right after the holidays, I got the itch to do a new "superhero" picture. Maybe it was listening to "Tales From Topographic Oceans" by Yes. Combined with the Arctic winter here in Michigan. Instead of a bunch of super-villains attacking, I chose just the Black Manta. (That and Aquaman's Rogues Gallery is lacking...)

 

As always, thanks for letting me share. I made some 11X14 copies for the kids and have some extras if anyone is interested.

Sweet, I always look forward to your work.

 

I just showed it to my wife, she thought it was a comic cover.

[SuperiorSpiderMan]

As a noob here, I've never seen your work before now. Very nice and professional. (thumbs u

You know how much I like your work. (thumbs u

When is the original art going to be for sale?

[Shadow]

I tend to get attached to my originals. Sometimes I sell originals. The last 3 I did to sell, didn't, and the prints have worked out to keep the nieces and nephews happy.

 

Someday, I will possibly sell an original again.

 

All, thanks for the nice complements!

[Bfairb]

Nice!

This is a FANTASTIC piece, Dan!!!

 

I absolutely love it and if you have any prints for sale, I'd be more than happy to purchase one!

 

And if you do decide to sell the original...

[Tuffy]

When you decide to sell it, let me know. Akkaman + Manta = I like

Debating on the next one. I did a 30" X 40" painting of a German castle at the same time. A friend at work scanned it in with one of our giant reproduction scanners and I was surprised at how well it turned out. I took the file of it to the printer I use in Ann Arbor and made two prints, one for my parents and one for my inlaws. This was the first time I ever scanned a painting.

 

I started a Thor painting over the holidays but I'm not happy with it so it may not survive. Ever have that happen? I can't get it to "spark" yet. I may have to go to the style of how I did Aquaman and restart.

I really like the "landscaping" in the Aquaman. The reef, the turtle, etc...I think you nailed those details.

 

I'd like to see you do something "cosmic".

What about Silver Surfer #4 re-imagined by Shadow... :shrug:

Thanks!

 

So far, this is as "cosmic" as I've gotten though you've got me thinking. I did this Avenger's work last year. (Homage to the Kirby dots in the back) Went through the prints pretty fast.

 

 

 

Here's a Silver Surfer painting I did. This was one of the "originals" I tried to sell but no luck. (Not a huge Surfer fan so I didn't get attached. )

Buscema's cover is so good it's hard to mess with it. I have thought about a re-creation of Brave & The Bold #28. Was at Hobby Lobby Thursday night and they had a metal print of the cover at 50% off. Since it was my grail I got last year, I had to buy it for $7. I don't know where to put it... which got an eye roll from my wife.
