sketchen




Saturday, November 7, 2009

Was thinking about another character I could do for another property I have in regards to one of the under water nemesis and while sketching came up with this guy... Now it was supposed to be a sketch and a lot more animated looking but got carried away, HEY I'll let the animators worry about that or just simplify later. The 2nd image below; I did a real quick color study just to show the color breaks, these are not final colors just want to see what the breaks would look like.

Progression

Here in this image I just wanted to show how the light and shadows are going to (or supposed to) work on this image... I wanted the viewer to see Kendel in the woods as if he is looking for his enemy, and the reader is looking through the trees at Kendel and have this feeling of ... KENDEL LOOK OUT, BEHIND YOU!!! ( am I spelling his name right?) The character behind him is Clan the TinGuh. I like the way this is heading so far. Im going to like it even better when it's colored... Now the scary question is ... should I ink it... this thing took forever... I actually can see where i have slowed down a bit from not drawing comics in a while. ~D~

MAN I'M RUSTY!!!!

Friday, June 19, 2009

I'mmmmmm BBBAAAAACCCKKKKKKK!!!!!

I have decided... Im always sketching and drawing and something, most of it I can't show because of NDA's and all that good stuff... But I've decided that Im going to let you guys in on what I'm doing. sighhhhhh here it goes.. I have decided to do a comic based off a TV show Im working on along with a few other talented people. Those who know me , know that is where I got my roots WELL I GOT REALLY BOTHERED BY THE COMIC INDUSTRY!!!! (calm down ~D~) and I pretty much quit comics... LONG STORY SHORT... Im back to work on a personal property and I'll start up loading a few images here and there to let you guys see the progress HEY some of you may even be interested in jumping on board to help out hehehe ANYWAY this is the thumbnail for the cover I'm working on now... Im thinking of doing a trade paperback instead of a straight comic BUT HEY we'll see... where it goes. If you guys wanna give your input along the way I'll be listening Thanks in advance. OHHH by the way ANDREW MANGUM FIGHT THIS THING THATS TRYING TO FIGHT YOU AND JUST KNOW THAT IM DEDICATING This First Issue to YOU MAN!!!! ~D~

Black Widow


I was over at Hasbro and a guy (Hey Dave) came by the cube and we got to talking about Black Widow (NATASHA ROMANOVA) the red headed Russian, and we all remember her a certain way and this is the one that has stayed in my head for years. I also have been chomping at the bit to just draw and I haven't drawn women in a long time.

Thursday, October 2, 2008

Me, a big boofy marker and a pen, JUST-a-SKETCHIN But nothing serious.

Just some daily sketches, I try to do this everyday so I'm playing catch up here by uploading the sketches I haven't uploaded to the blog yet. I have this big 11x17 sketch book that is hard to scan from. MAN I will never buy another one of these books again, man its a challenge to fill this thing up, BUT! Me and the Big BOOFY marker are about to become good friends, when I use a big marker I tend to draw bigger ... maybe this will help me fill this sketch book so I can get me a smaller one... I figure I'm wasting money if I don't at least use what I've got and at least fill it up.

Queen Esther

The above image  was inspired by the image below, the nose is a little red but hey that's the cool thing about being an artist you get to be creative, add things that are not there or change things to make them work to get the desired look you have in mind . I changed the eyes the nose the lips a bit as you can see and gave her darker features like in the eyebrows which honestly was one of those happy accidents.

FIST OF JUSTICE LAD... AGAIN!!!


Ok I just had to get it out of my system I MIGHT color the standing Pose  BUT then I THINK I've got it out of my system and Im done... I think!

Thursday, September 4, 2008

Fist Of Justice Lad

This was a character I was kidding around with when I initially made a jest to there being a fist of Justice lad I didn't think Mike would take me seriously... Mike says hes a robot HEY I have an Idea I want to throw out there... what if FOJ Lad was the governments way of keeping an eye on FOJ so when this character comes out he's the governments way of policing the police. Just an idea... I did this before I had a chance to read Mikes full description of the kid all I saw was FOJ LAD and went to sketching then I went back to finish reading the message and uhhhh well lets just say Im way off what he had in mind. OH he would still be a robot that way they can see through his eyes he could later even become more sentient and make a decision to fight along side FOJ OR he could do the crazy Unstoppable robot thing and go haywire and become a villain then that way you could see his robotics in his villain form AGAIN just throwing it out there.
FOJ ROCKS!!!!!!

Street Fighter Influenced

I have a small scanner and My Big one is on the fritz so please forgive the double scan thing, just sketching again. took a break to watch Street fighter Alpha one night MAN didn't come close to doing those characters justice BUT AGAIN its just fun doodles and sketches.

Bizzaro Sketches Continued

Nah HE shouldn't ALWAYS fly upside down JUST some of the time.

the FLAMING DOVE , Dove dove dove!!!!!!!!

As I ve been working on these different covers I've had an opportunity to delve back into my Fine arts side, I sometimes forget how much fun that actually is. I've entitled this piece Holy Spirit based o the piece Im doing for the cover but in the COMIC ARENA MOST REMBER THIS CHARACTER AS THE FLAMING DOVE , Dove dove dove!!!!!!!!

My Touchy Feely Side


This digital painting was created in photoshop inspired by a photo I saw , the original photo of the tree was quite diminutive and lifeless looking. I wanted to express something that showed life and was much larger and displayed strength. The original image I saw was entitled Beautiful, I entitled this one Beauty Fulfilled. hehehe I know most you guys don't like all that touchy feely stuff, BUT HEY can't help it when my fine art side peeks out every now and then, hehehe its actually fun.

Bizzaro Sketching

I was in My Journal and instead of writing felt like sketching... I figured since I hadn't put up anything HERE in a while I could at least TRY to update my blog occasionally. Don't really know why Im on this Bizarro kick, I guess it just seemed fun to doodle with at the moment.

Iron man Painting

I gotta admit, after seeing the Iron man movie I was definitly influenced to attempt one of the hardest things to do in any media... METAL!!! hehehe...  I had to do my own version of Mr. Invincible himself... I'll be honest I'm not sure if I like this one or not But hey I had fun and I guess that's all that matters. I look at it as it being  my own personal practice session... as my instructor says I'll bring it up a notch on the next one, HEY 
at least I'm not just painting heads any more:)


This is the shot of my original color choices from Painter before I decided to brighten it up a bit in Photoshop. I thought I would upload it since I worked on it and thought someone might like to see it.

Mr. Invincible Himself

2. I ran a plastic filter over this one and it gives it a little more shine... But I think Im starting to lean towards image one
3. okay I know the top one looks a lot like this bottom one  BUT they are different... I ran a watercolor filter over this version. And yeah I know it's subtle changes  to number 2 and 3 but I get to be fickled and ... ( in the tune of its my party ) its my blog and I can have fun if I want to.

Wednesday, April 23, 2008

playing around with Wolverine

Here is a close up of the painted head
This is just a snippet of the image I'm working  ( so yes there is more to this piece than just a head hahaha ). On the last two pieces I started I didn't finish them ( yet... Maybe I'll go back to them) . The goal on this one is to do a bust shot I'll explain further my idea of the sketch when I upload the painting. I was remembering my comic days and started drawing this image then I realized I only needed the skeleton for the painting and I guess I was also curious to see if I added more detail if this would help my painting any... I guess it might the more you have the less you have to think of oh well on to painting. Honestly I think I really wanted to draw but got bored to quickly.

Wonder Woman

I've been wanting to do Wonder Woman for some time now I probably could have pushed this the colors in this piece some more but sometimes less is more I guess. I remember on the old Wonder Woman TV show the wipes for the the show were the stars  and this image I wanted to do an homage to the show and the comic thus the stars and the comic like layout, a little Linda Carter in the eyes a little shout out  to the comic version ( in style ) and the show and hopefully I got the right mix, hey... I like the amalgam. I had to repaint the face about 10 times !!!! but once I finally got what I was looking for I was able to move on to the other stuff. I was also stressing  about how to do her lasso  then it hit me do it in Photoshop ... uh ... not telling you HOW I did it unless you really want to know hehehehe.  ( 95 % of this image was done in Painter and the other 5 % in Photoshop).

Space Ghost

Okay here it is .... I've always wanted to do Space Ghost and he was one of my favorite Saturday morning line up heroes, so hey I threw it out there and gave it a shot .... AND YEAH I Know this is not the traditional Space Ghost but I saw another artist do his take on SG and liked it so much it inspired me to do this version. Im not as happy with it as I thought I would be, I'm still attempting to learn how to paint the human form BUT HEY I'M HAVING FUN WHILE I'M LEARNING I'll keep working at it. Ha ! They normally look pretty good small but these are probably better viewed enlarged. well on to the next one.


Someone ask to see a closer version of the head? Here it is ... I did a version where light was reflecting onto the black but I think I like the stark black better for some reason, It reminds me more of Space Ghost. but I thought I'd put both up.

HEROES (painted)



Monday, April 7, 2008

Jedi Assassin

Gatick Geed'Gak

Having worked on the Star Wars team At Hasbro I remembered seeing this Praying Mantis creature and when giving the challenge to create a Jedi Assassin I thought of this character and thought it might be cool to come up with my own version of an alien from that race... I didn't realize the original villain was female which made it even cooler when I found out the creature I was creating was also. the challenge was to create a star wars character it must be original, FEMALE, and a Jedi Assassin I got excited thinking I was going to get a chance to do a Jedi.... well ANYWAY... I thought praying mantis are mean little ( and Looking) creatures so I thought Gatick Geed'Gak... hired Assassin but make her really big ... She's run into Jedi before and lost a part of her right wing to a formidable advisory, the Jedi that did it??? not as lucky , it only persisted to really tick her off and she is one Yam'rii you don't want to tick off. Although I did not draw her weapons she wears energized gauntlets capable of reflecting a light saber, but her true ability exist in her blinding speed and size this is what makes her a worthy opponent , be sure you don't lose , because you may become dinner for Gadtick.

~The original character~


Kitik Keed'kak

was a female Yam'rii, also known as Huk from the planet Huk. She had a bad temper and could be made angry very easily. She was amazingly strong given her tiny frame and was known for her stealthiness. Keed'kak was also very good with technology. Her diet consisted of meat and eggs.

She was in Chalmun's Cantina, and followed Sai'torr Kal Fas outside, hoping she would lead her to her nest. Keed'kak was friends with Swilla Corey.

10 min Kabuki

I got frustrated with the body painting I was working on and decided to pull a way and do something else to get me back in the right mode ...did a quick 5 min (below) and this 10 min piece. Actually it really kinda scary ... I WASN'T TRYING ON THIS ONE I was deliberately not trying to follow a structure and WAS GOING FOR SPEED they came out better than the body I was working on ... WAY better in fact, don't know what my block is. MAN I HATE THAT!!!!

Aghhhhhh man this stuff is harder than it looks... wow the guys in my links make this stuff look like child's play. this is where comic anatomy just kinda goes out the window and you're better off drawing from life instead of out of your head.

January 19, 2006—Pitting two hands against thousands of stinging tentacles, a diver attaches a tracking device to a giant Nomura's jellyfish off the coast of Japan on October 4, 2005.

Since last summer, Japanese waters have been inundated with the massive sea creatures, which can grow 6.5 feet (2 meters) wide and weigh up to 450 pounds (220 kilograms).

Kratos

Not the type of character I normally do but I thought I'd do gray study then I thought hey
what if I gave this guy a mark like Kratos and it went from there except the first one was more serene ... I called him anger managed kratos. Maybe I'll upload that one too. I end up changing the expression to this one to make him look meaner... oh well ... here it is. I should have crossed his arms or something .. COULD, SHOULDA, WOULDA maybe the next one.

Just sketching in paint




I wasn't doing anything serious a matter of fact as I look at the back of the head and neck I would probably want more of the image to look like that. Oh well... this exercise was so I could do some really loose stuff. just wanted to see if I could take a blotch of paint and make it into something and this is what I came up with.

UHHHHH WOW MAC AINT PLAYING ...meet the ModBook Apple Tablet

( click the text above to go to MacWorld Expo )
Posted in ShowFloor by Jon at 1:48 pm
It seems like one company has jumped in where Apple has not wanted to tread- the tablet PC market. The Modbook by Axiotron and sold through OtherWorldComputing. This is basically a modified white macbook, yet overlayed with a outward facing touch screen. Hit the jump for more info and more pics. Speaking to the representatives I have gleamed this information from them” +They replaced the original screen with a Toshiba panel that has a wider viewing angle +A glass WACOM pane has been overlayed and it is chemically treated to be scratch resistant +A version comes with a GPS module for $100 US additional and the software details have yet to be worked out.+The iSight camera still works I asked if they had considered the medical field as a possible market. They said that they had not previously considered it but had been asked many questions by medical staff who had visited their booth over the last day. In addition I heard a very happy corporate guy telling one of the booth workers that yesterday that had done about .5 million in projected sales yesterday.
This is truly the year of touch screen Apple products.
This is a closeup of drawing using the ModBook
This closeup shows a power button in addition to a ‘USB Reset.’ Apparently the touch screen is connected using an internally connected USB interface and because tablets in general get ‘wonky’ sometimes they need to be unplugged and re-plugged in. This button dispenses with such an impossibility on a integrated tablet.
~D~ I hear the price tag is in the avenue of $2,279.00- 2,479.00 ( of course it would be)

Thursday, December 20, 2007

CHARGGEEEEEEE!!!!

The Original Heroes!
Man I haven't drawn like this in a long time

AGGGGGHHHH I HATE THAT!!!!

Check this out... I'm trying to be all serious and do this head shot on some art board and I go to do it and the Image totally STINKS!!!!! frustrated I think... Let me sketch it out in my sketch book and this is what comes out ARGHHHH I hate that ... UnLike computers I just can't hit copy and paste. THOUGH AT TIMES I WISH I COULD!!!!! I could have used this DAG NAB IT.
By the way I didn't finish this because I didn't expect it to turn out at all ... HAHAHA and there is NOOOOOO way I'm putting the really jacked up one up here.

By David Lieberman, USA TODAY
NEW YORK — People who want an early read on what could emerge as the next big entertainment business trend should keep an eye on what their kids do Friday night at 8:30 ET.

Viacom's (VIA) betting that millions will check out the third-season premiere of Nickelodeon's quirky, anime-influenced series Avatar: The Last Airbender. It's the first fantasy action series targeted to boys at a network known for lighter fare such as SpongeBob Square Pants.

"If we do this right, it could become our Harry Potter," says Nickelodeon President Cyma Zarghami. "We have the opportunity to create a different kind of loyal audience that will follow Avatar here, there and everywhere."

Viacom's Paramount Pictures joined the effort this year: It signed M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense) to write, produce and direct a trilogy of live-action films based on the TV series about Aang, a boy with extraordinary powers who must join his friends to save the world from the hostile Fire Nation.

The first film is due in 2009

Iron Man MAY 2, 2008

I can't wait until I can see this a bit better but hey it's something. WHY MUST WE WAIT SO LONG!!!!!

ExSteel

this Image would (in my opinion ) be done so much better in Photoshop all the circles , straights and curves would look tight!!! but HEY again I'm having FUN and that's all that matters if I was doing this for a client I would of course clean up all of that... Heck I would probably have done it in Photoshop hehehe.



CYCLOPS

It dawned on me I hadn't put up anything I've done personally in a while oops sorry guys. working in my own  company is time consuming. Some may have seen this already some may not have so I said what the hey let me put it up.
the thoughts with these two images are what other ways could you do cyclops  the bottom Idea was to make him almost deformed  put the nose were the eyes should be and eyes were the nose should be. The top Version was What if his eye was more exposed and had more of a magical effect it would buzz around his head like an annoying nat or something. HEHEHE its not normal part of my drawing regimen but I thought i would try something different to play with and practice my painting technique. 

HAHAHA I haven't painted in a while I need to pick up the old digital paint brush again. I think I'm impatient at times painting takes longer than digital coloring , and it definitely takes longer than sketching BUT I have so much fun doing it, I guess I just wish I could be faster at it.

New Iron Man MOVIE info

Above is a new photo from the upcoming Iron Man movie showing Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark testing one of the gauntlets (gloves, for the uninitiated) of the Iron Man armor. That image is just full of fanboy-geek goodness as far as I'm concerned. :-)

Slash Dot HAd this to say about E3 (click to go to the site)

Despite the smaller size and scope, there's still going to be a lot of games news coming down the pipe this week: the E3 Media and Business Summit 2007 kicks off soon. The big news starts with Microsoft's press conference on Tuesday, but already journalists are on the ground getting stories in order. E3 predictions are available from 1up and Gamespot's editorial team, while Eurogamer has a piece from their newsletter describing what's different about this year's E3. Not everyone is going this year that went last year because of those differences, and it will make for a wholly changed experience.
"While a number of the publishers GameSpot contacted said they would consider participating in next year's E3 (some on the condition that the format is further tweaked), multiple representatives said they didn't believe there would be an E3 at all next year. Gamecock is even referencing that notion in its EIEIO event, which will cap off with a funeral service for the ESA's long-standing trade show. 'We're going to have some fun on the beach and say good-bye to the magical beast of yore that was E3,' Wilson said. 'I'd say there's a fair chance there won't be a show called E3 anything next year, which is why we're saying farewell to it on the beach. But I can't wait to see what emerges.'"

WONDER WOMAN


NOT the best sketch of WONDER WOMAN but I was in the mood to sketch and decided I would try a female this time then I remembered that 2009 they are thinking about doing a Wonder Woman movie so I looked out there for a little bit to see what I could find and one of the websites had this to say.
Big screen adaptation of this TV show WONDER WOMAN slated 2009. Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Lopez, and Jessica Biel are some of the people rumored to be considered for the title role.(rottentomatoes.com)
Taylor cole has also been a runner up for WW.(Bottom) I'm curious whom they'll choose this may be a great time for an unknown, as interesting as it might be to see Jlo playing the amazon of wonder Not sure she is the right fit for her. BUT hey I also said Keaton couldn't pull of the first BATSY MAN!!!! So Hey I could be wrong. Any thoughts from you guys?



Megan Fox might be a bit young but A stronger potential than SOME of the images above.



But Yahoo said this...

Lohan the One for WONDER WOMAN?
Thursday March 23 10:45 AM ET

Although no talks have even begun, Lindsay Lohan thinks playing the role of Wonder Woman in the upcoming feature would be "cool."

By Mark Umbach, FilmStew.com

Everybody is wondering which woman will be Wonder Woman. If it were up to starlet Lindsay Lohan, she says she'd take the pilot's seat in the invisible jet in a heartbeat. Buffy the Vampire Slayer vet Joss Whedon is currently developing a feature film based on the comic book superheroine for Warner Bros. Pictures.

ADVERTISEMENT

While Lohan admits that she's currently looking for roles outside her current milieu of teen a kiddie films, she thinks playing Diana Prince would be too cool. "Wonder Woman would be cool. I'm trying to find roles right now that are different to anything I've done to show my abilities, to show that I have some sort of stretch in me. Because most of the things that I've done so far are aimed at younger girls and are light-hearted," she recently told OK! magazine.

Before focusing on any other film projects, however, Lohan wants to get her album completed. “I’m trying to work on some lyrics for my next album in my free time. It’ll be a little different to the last one – I’m starting recording next month," she said in OK!.

For three seasons Lynda Carter played the Golden Lasso of Truth-wielding, bulletproof cuff-wearing, American flag-donned hero on the CBS television series. One just wonders what Carter would thing of Lohan filling her red, patent leather boots.

You know if she could stay out of rehab long enough she might be able to pull it off.AGAIN GUYS what are your thoughts

Kids' WB! Announces Spectacular Spider-Man

This in from superherohype.com
Source: The Lizard, spidermanhero12, spiderfan970
June 21, 2007
"The Spectacular Spider-Man" is the official title of the super hero's new animated series coming to the Kids' WB! on The CW, it was announced by Kids' WB! Senior Vice President and General Manager Betsy McGowen.
"The use of the 'Spectacular' title is a homage to Marvel's wildly popular series of Spider-Man comics, and is very reflective of the enthusiasm and high regard we have for the production," McGowen said. "This promises to be a stand-out animated series that will perfectly complement both Sony Entertainment's box office-shattering films and the amped-up action on Kids' WB! every Saturday."
Riding the crest of Sony's blockbuster Spider-Man 3, the new animated series -- slated to premiere on Kids' WB! in early 2008 -- picks up the world-renowned web-slinger's mythology at the beginning of his hero's journey as a not-so-typical 16-year-old with new-found powers engaging the multi-leveled pressures of teenage life while combating bigger, badder super-villains in the real world.
Greg Weisman ("Gargoyles," "The Batman") is supervising producer on "The Spectacular Spider-Man." Victor Cook ("Hellboy: Blood and Iron") is producer/supervising director. The series is produced by Culver Entertainment.

CAPTAIN (SHAZAM) MARVEL

Don't ask me WHY I don't know, I'm a huge MARVEL COMICS FAN  and not a DC fan Much at all, but I felt like drawing Captain Marvel  I love Marvel's CAP MARVEL... And Hey there is a first time for everything and as far as I can remember this is my first time ever doing this character and again me just playing around in my sketch book... Hmmm If I get time maybe I'll color it.

THE LAST PALADIN

This is a bit better than my last attempt at a Last Paladin sketch, by the way WHAT IS A PALADIN??? if you are interested you can see more of the character in Digital Webbing Presents. The creator is Ian Asher. GO E!!!! this was a cover I colored for this character that Ian published through DWP, I decided to embellish a little Ian said he wouldn't mind so I decided to have a little fun with it you know just something for the ol sketch book. HEHEHE I took some liberties with the size of the sword I thought he should have THIS HUGE OL BROAD SWORD.


For those that didn't see the hideous approach the first time through Ill post it again EWWWWWWWWWWW, WOW looks like two different artist... see how much rust builds up when you 1. when you don't keep the old wrist sketchin on something.

Cap Colored

I just decided at the last minute to throw some colors on the sketch , just to relax and have a little Photoshop fun COMIC STYLE.

Caps Coming to the BIG SCREEN

Yes I drew  this one (well more of a marker  blue pencil sketch) hahahaha what follows next is an article NOT written by me. I do want to say however that I really wonder can they pull off a Captain America Movie? Now Don't GET IT TWISTED, my All time favorite comic company is marvel ever since my cousin and friend hipped me to them. I love seeing the characters come to life the only one I have ever REALLY been disappointed with was the Hulk and lets  just say IT WASN'T BECAUSE of the GREEN SKINNED GOLIATH!!!! ILM ROCKED ON HIM best I've seen so far, but the STORY... you know what... NUFF SAID. 
Captain America Movie Next From Marvel After Hulk!
June 14, 2007
Source: Collider.com
by Alex Billington

This week has been a flurry of comic book movie news - Thor, Punisher 2, 30 Day of Night! And today it gets even better! Our friends over at Collider.com heard from Marvel's President of Production, Kevin Feige, that after The Incredible Hulk the next Marvel film will be Captain America! Feige spoke quite a bit about the project and the direction the film would take and that they already have a writer working on the script.

From the interview, Feige said that they don't have a director yet but that David Self is writing the script and they're hoping to get it into the pipeline within the next year. He also spoke about what they're planning to do with the project and whether it would be a period piece or not.

“Well I think we'll certainly have to play with that and play with Captain America being this patriotic propaganda machine on one hand but also being a very human Steve Rogers – interesting, fascinating hero in his own right."
So no chance of a period piece for Captain America? “Right now what we’re developing would be half and half."
Captain America is the superhero first introduced in 1941 known best by the shield he wields and his patriotic uniform. If you're a fan or just want to learn more, I suggest checking out the full quotes from Feige over at Collider.com.

Is anyone else pretty excited to see this coming together? I think Marvel's got the comic book movie genre in the bag right now, give or take DC's Batman, and their upcoming films already in production (Iron Man, Incredible Hulk) are going to be huge. This is going to be an exciting next few years for Marvel. (I agree..-D-)

ONE OF MY FAVORITE TEAMS other than the Avengers or X-men off course.

Originally produced in 1972, KAGAKU NINJA TAI GATCHAMAN was in many ways the forefather of the live action Super Sentai genre (known in the US as POWER RANGERS), and GATCHAMAN and its sequels were later made popular worldwide through English adaptations such as BATTLE OF THE PLANETS, G-FORCE and EAGLE RIDERS (originally Gatchaman’s sequel series, GATCHAMAN II). Gatchaman made its first big screen debut in 1978...The original Gatchaman series followed the adventures of a team of 5 young superheroes who worked on behalf of the U.N.’s International Science Organization to protect earth’s environment and resources against the villainous terrorist organization Galactor, lead by Berg Katse, and their beast-like machines and biological weapons. According to Imagi’s CEO and Vice Chairman Francis Kao, the new film, scheduled for a 2008 release,... (To read the rest of the article click on G-FORCE IS BACK!!!).

WHO IS THE SILVER SURFER

The Silver Surfer is a Marvel Comics character who was first introduced in September, 1966. The Surfer appeared in issue #48 of the monthly Fantastic Four comic book series, where he came to Earth to investigate the planet’s potential for feeding his master, Galactus. Since this appearance, the Silver Surfer has appeared consistently in the Fantastic Four books, as well as headlining his own series, The Silver Surfer, which published 146 issues over a thirty-year span.

The Surfer was born Norrin Radd on the planet Zenn-La, which came under threat by the world-eating being Galactus. Feeling he had a duty to protect his world, Norrin struck a deal to become the herald of Galactus: in exchange for sparing his home planet, Norrin would seek out other worlds which his new master could consume in order to sate his appetite. As part of the bargain, Norrin became the Silver Surfer, imbued with cosmic powers and a surfboard on which he can fly through the cosmos in search of these worlds.

RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER

OK... I'm not going to say anything just show pics. Wait this is my Blog I can do whatever I want... I KNOW SOME MAY DISAGREE WITH ME! (my BLOG HEHEHE) There are some really great movies coming out this year in comparison to last year a ton of great COMIC movies... Transformers, Spider-man, Fantastic Four, and BY great I mean they look great, granted the story was a bit challenged on Spidey but it was visually stunning. I go for the entertainment factor if I get Both STORY AND EYE CANDY Woooohoooo!!!... But I'm not as hard on movies as most guys especially all my writer friends here. We'll Here's hoping they don't disappoint. I hope they spend some money and Quality time on Surfer like they are doing in the advertising, I wouldn't PERSONALLY mind if the whole movie was about SS, But then it wouldn't be a FF movie BUT LIKE I said, I wouldn't care.
