Wolverine

One of my best buddies in the office celebrated his birthday October 30th. I was already in the midst of craziness for the Maxim Party (more on that in a later post) which meant I was already drawing and designing like crazy for it. I had decided I would gift him a picture of his favorite superhero, Wolverine. Of course in making that promise, I didn't realize that I wouldn't hand off this piece until January 26th... craziness.

I finished up the pencils in early January. It probably took me about 2 hours to get the full composition and the background down. The inks were a full on other story. Inks were probably another 1.5 hours done while my very pregnant wife was coloring the Patron wall for the Maxim Party (again, a later post, that piece deserves a post all it's own). I'm surprised I wasn't thrown out of the room because of the Sharpies smell. After inking I added in some grey tones with my trusted Dixon Ticonderoga's #3 Hard. My buddy loved the piece, and I was thrilled to add another Wolverine piece to my collection.
