I knew nothing of this character prior to reading his name, and unfortunately couldn’t get much of a sense of it from the information I could find online. I wanted to go for a noir vibe, and play up the good/evil, scales of justice angle. I’d locked into the format of these images early on (12” x 4.5”) and unfortunately I don’t think all of the images came out as strong because of this limitation. That being said, I loved the challenge!

It’s a black and white comic. Get it?

This is the second round of drawing challenge entries based on characters created by Steve Ditko. I tried to push myself with each one, and while not all of them are my favourite I am quite proud of what I was able to achieve.

In order they are:
#9 Blue Beetle
#10 J. Jonah Jameson (Robot) a.k.a. Spider Slayer
#11 Ancient One
#12 The Lizard
#13 The Creeper
#14 Nightshade
#15 The Vulture
#16 Mr. A
