So I’m making a wish list of people I would love to work with in the industry. Writers and colourists. So startin with writers, here’s a list of writers and the titles I’d love to work on together with them, In no particular order.
#CollabWishList
Director Zack Snyder reveals plans where Zeus, the Greek god and Wonder Woman's father, would have been Kryptonian, making the hero's powers a result of her alien heritage in the DCU.
More details here:
Finally I get to share the designs I did for Green Arrow, Arsenal and Connor Hawke for the new
#GreenArrow
series! 💚🏹
For more on my inspiration for the designs you’ll have to check out the schedule here as
@Williamson_Josh
& I chat about it this week.
Forgot to post this ages ago. Here’s the suit design for Oliver’s costume given to him by the Legion of Superheroes in the recent issues of Green Arrow. 💚🏹
Yes I use the same design sheet as his modern costume hence the not matching with the things around him.
Weird “fans” losing it after the recent revelations about Mystiques powers evolving and being able to get someone pregnant.
It’s interesting that they think that they declare that not possible cos THEY say her powers don’t work that way.
Trying to get my creativity up cos I got a block today. Did a sketch of the new Ben Reilly Spider-Man. Maybe I’ll finish it. Or it’ll sit in the same folder of sketches I haven’t had the energy or time to finish.
With all the Spidey suits in the Spider-Man PS4 game I was feeling inspired. So I did a Scarlet Spider redesign as a cooldown tonight before I hit the sack.

has cooked up is exciting and filled with surprises. Arrow fans are in for a treat

And just like the Superman
#1
cover, this is full of clues as to what happens in the Green Arrow series!
Launching in April!
TWENTY FOUR YEARS AGO, there was this thing called DC vs Marvel, a big event pitting characters from both companies against each other. One of the biggest hooks was that readers could vote on the outcome of fights!
To celebrate issue 10 of Green Arrow and the return of Speedy and Arrowette (and cos I was asked 😉) here’s the design sheets for their new costumes.
I really wanted to update their costumes but keep elements from previous ones and give them unique silhouettes.
Sure it’s a six issue series. BUT pre-orders can change that. Show up for every issue and spread the word on the series. And show
@DCComics
how much we want more Ollie and fam!
Just wanna take a moment to say a huge HUGE thank you to all the fans for their massive support of our Green Arrow run!! It’s been such a ride. And shows that with great fans and their support we can turn a mini series into an ongoing series! Also congrats to Team Arrow! 💚🏹
Comic reviewers REALLY need to educate themselves on the collaborative nature of comics. Especially what everyone else brings to the table. A review that goes on for a whole page about the writer and then has two lines as an afterthought about the rest of the team doesn’t cut it.

Hey! I’m sorta getting mixed up on if it’s
#ThirstyThursday
or
#ThrowbackThursday
. So I’m gonna just cover both bases with this oldie for my new followers that haven’t seen it yet.
Sorry, I LOVE Pedro Pascal. But I don’t see him as Reed Richards at all, he’d be great as Corsair from Starjammers, Cyclops’ dad.. I was really hoping he’d be cast as a new Deadshot in James Gunn’s DCU.
Finished up issue 10 of Green Arrow yesterday, so decided to have some fun today by inking and colouring this rad Green Lantern piece by my bro
@KylerClodfelter
Go check out his page for the sweet pencils he did of Hal here.
I told
@Ben_Abernathy
and
@Williamson_Josh
that I want our Green Arrow book to give those Batbooks a run for their money.
(For the record I love the Bat characters, but some competition is good 😉)

Now back to work on the FF Life Story. Have a great weekend everyone.
Forgot to post this yesterday. I threw some colours in this piece of Mikey by
@ruairicoleman
. This was fun. You can see the original over on his page. I feel like IDW really need to put Ruairi on a TMNT book asap!
After a chat today with
@79SemiFinalist
I sorta wanted to draw She-Hulk cos we’re both huge fans (& I was reading Hawkeye Vol 2 so this idea sorta just came to me) I sorta imagine this is where Jen tells Kate how she made out with Clint a couple times & Kate’s just in awe of Jen.
Since the announcement about
@Williamson_Josh
and myself on the new Green Arrow family book, I dug up some old OOOOOLD fanart I did of Roy and Ollie through the years. Dating back till 2005 even. Thankfully they were all on my old Deviantart account. Enjoy!
For the first
#ComicArtistAppreciationDay
I’m gonna spotlight a real legend -
#TomGrummett
Whose work stood out on the shelves with his dynamic figures and storytelling. His work on Robin, Superboy and The New Titans was massive and heroic, just like the characters he drew.
So felt like posting something. But don’t wanna spoil any FF stuff. So instead you guys get to see some redesigns I did of Tigra, Black Knight and She-Hulk I did last year. Chances are if I did designs of them now they would be a big different but retain some elements of these.
Cats outta the bag now. I’ll be working with the super talented
@Williamson_Josh
on one of my favourite DC heroes - Green Arrow and the Arrow Family in
#DawnOfDc

Now I can't post the cover YET because it's too full of spoilers. But I will say...
It's time for a Green Arrow Family Reunion. Finally.
More info on this and
#DawnOfDC
here:
Hate to break it to them but her powers work however Marvel and the writers decide they work, not the fans. Sorry guys.
Secondly, she’s a mutant and it’s a fact that mutant powers can evolve. So this makes total sense imo for her character to be able to do.
When drawing Connor I always keep in mind he’s one of the best martial artists in the DCU. He’s so he’s well built and lean. His body and how to use it is the ultimate weapon. He’s calm and methodical. In a way, the other side of the coin to Roy.
You guys all came to the party and I got the okay to show a little something from issue 1 that won’t have any spoilers in it. So here’s something a little… classic.
Enjoy!

Random thought. Maybe more people would also buy comics if news sites didn’t explain every detail that happens in the comics. I mean I can follow the events on any comic series by just reading a news sites hot takes and explanation of what happens in the issues.
Green Arrow Issue 2 out today for my peeps in the US, out tomorrow for my local friends! Hope you got your pre-orders in! Action packed and the first appearance of a brand new DC character as well. 💚🏹
When I draw Black Canary, my main inspiration comes from Justice League Unlimited and her brief appearance in JL Crisis on two earths. I love drawing her hair. As for fighting style, she’s trained by Wildcats so she’s a pro boxer with some martial arts mixed in. A real brawler.
Here’s an oldie. Couldn’t find the original tweet but thought I’d post it again for all the new followers I’ve gotten since then. Since it’s been a few years.

Btw this isn’t a new costume, just my take on her regular costume.
Now I need to hit the sack. G’nite all.
Hey peeps. So since everyone seems to be loving the connecting covers for Champions issues 25-26 I thought I’d share what they look like connected as well as my character designs for our teen heroes for this arc. Colours on these covers by
@Menyz
who brought all the atmosphere.
True story. When I started in Fantastic Four Life Story, (over a year ago) I was looking for some pictures as inspiration for while I was working on this series. I found one. This was all I needed. I had this picture open the whole way through my work on the series.

I’m not gonna lie, as a comic artist, working on characters you love, with a creative team that asks for & values your input is a huge blessing & makes all the difference & creates a very special comic. Huge thanks to

@Menyz
Couldn’t sleep last night so was drawing this for from like 2am-4am.
@GlebMelnikov8
new Robin costume. Not quite finished yet. Might throw some colour and add a couple things to it if I have a gap.
Next, I find Nightcrawlers character is largely unaffected because really, no one gave a shit about Azazel before now. So cut it out with the fake tears, your homophobia is showing. They’re just upset cos they’re insecure and this whole thing takes a man’s urgency away.
I’ve been emotionally raw for the past couple weeks, so I’m gonna blame that as the reason I’m getting choked up & not cos of what
@Manruss
is making me draw over the next two weeks.

#DCMarvelCrossoverArt
I gave myself a theme. And it was heroes teaming up and being protectors which fit well with how I see Cap and WW. In this story it’s Steve and Hippolyta teaming up and a precursor to the Invaders JSA teamup.
I’ve been drawing Roy all day. So here’s some thoughts I keep in mind when drawing him: I kinda like to draw him a bit shorter and stockier. He’s got a bit more muscle and wild hair. He’s a master of manufactured and improvised weapons and can use anything around him as a weapon.
When I draw Ollie/Green Arrow my main goal is always to make him as heroic and dynamic as possible, a real action hero. Big arms and wide shoulders. I LOVE drawing his facial hair and making him look rugged. Without his mask I focus on giving him kind eyes.💚🏹
Just wanna take a second before getting back to work to say thank you everyone for the massively positive response to the new designs I did for Ollie, Roy and Connor!
I was so nervous working on these guys because I wanted to really give them something iconic & unique to each.
Finally I get to share the designs I did for Green Arrow, Arsenal and Connor Hawke for the new
#GreenArrow
series! 💚🏹
For more on my inspiration for the designs you’ll have to check out the schedule here as

So these Inked pages were shown on the DC Connect Catalog, so I got the go ahead to show them here for those that haven't seen them yet. The inked cover & revealed pages from

Found an old Green Arrow art piece I drew way back in like 1998/1999. I remember drawing a buncha designs for Green Arrow back then. Funny how the world works and now I’m here drawing Green Arrow for real.

In fact this makes Nightcrawler even better considering his religious background and how the church views homosexuality. Way more interesting a dynamic that a demon dad that no one cares about.
You wanna know what’s really awesome?! Is I get to see the new

trailer and right after that awesome display I get to actually DRAW MILES/SPIDER-MAN!!

#SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse
this weekend! Oh man. One of the best superhero movies ever! It was a rollercoaster that I didn’t want to get off of. I honestly didn’t want the movie to end. What an amazing work of art!
I hate that Roy has always been sorta the black sheep of the Titans. The guy led the team for years and everyone seems to have forgotten that Roy has fought Deathstroke solo. And my favourite version of Roy in other media is in the Teen Titans cartoon.
“Fans” going off saying our book isn’t ‘their’ Thunderbolts and calling it trash and disregarding all our hard work must have hated this Justice League.
So James Gunn said that an actor from GOTG is gonna be in Superman Legacy. And I head everyone saying Bautista should be Lex. Look man I’m over Lex in other media. Let’s see Bautista as Brainiac!!
