.Green Lantern and The Flash.

I once read that one of the many secrets to success as an artist in any industry is to reach out to the fans and, while not compromising oneself, give back to those who support your work by fulfilling a request from time to time.

Now I have to admit, I need to learn to be a little bit more flexible with this, I don’t usually enjoy working on requests, aside from the picture of the handsome Tony Vega, but today I decided to play with a piece for one of my very few “fans.”

He is undoubtedly my best friend, my biggest admirer and supporter, and one of the people who I hold most dear to my heart.

When it comes to Superheroes, we both share the hots for the DC Universe, and when it comes to the JLA, his favorite pair is none other than … *drum roll* … Green Lantern, John Stewart and the Flash!!!

Come on, like you didn’t see that one coming!

I mean, let’s be realistic, who doesn’t like this pair anyway? There’s so much chemistry and friendship that it just makes you want to scream “Stop eye-fucking each other and actually do it! Get on with it boys!”

I personally always had a soft spot for the big muscular hunk that is John Stewart, and he is most certainly my favorite Green Lantern. Sorry Hal fans, nothing personal. I just can’t say no to strong, beefy, chocolate muscle men!

This piece was -really- tricky to work on though, I have to admit. I used -way- too many hues and too much saturation to begin with, so much so that when I finished the piece, I really couldn’t care less about the cum and spit swapping, and was dazzled more with the bright colors in the background, and we all know that that’s just WRONG. Once I toned it down a little, it came together quite nicely.

Still not sure if I’m 100% happy with it, but I do hope that the person this picture is dedicated to really enjoys it.

Much love to you! Enjoy the picture!

.The Watchmen - Comedian.

So I have to admit that before the movie came out, I had no idea who or what “The Watchmen” were, and even during the hype of the upcoming movie, I wasn’t overly thrilled about it until I saw the trailer with my own two eyes.

What attracted me to the movie however, aside from the amazing visual effects and Doctor Manhathan’s neon-blue muscular sexy yet androgynous body, was the fact that Dean Jeffery Morgan, one of my all-time favorite Hollywood heart-throbs, was in fact playing The Comedian, a key figure in the movie/comic’s storyline.

What attracted me even more to the character was watching the movie itself. The man was no hero. He was a rootless and merciless vicious bastard who had fun and always got what he wanted, especially in bed.

I fell in love there and then. It wasn’t just Dean Jeffrey Morgan as a comic book character, but he was also playing one of my fantasy daddies on the big screen! I almost messed my pants in the theatre!

So today my tribute goes to The Comedian and the movie The Watchmen.

I can honestly say that I must have come up with 20 or 30 punch lines as to what the Comedian might be saying in this picture. My two personal favorites were “Want a peek, boy?” or even more fitting for the character, “Get on your fuckin knees, kid!” … but in the end I decided not to add any comic-book text to the image, and just left it for everyone’s imagination.

I think the blood … or rather, pre cum stained smiley-face was also a cute touch to the piece.

In any case, I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed working on this picture!

And last but not least, cheers to DC for bringing us so many handsome hunks and daddies to drool over! WOOF!

.Cyclops.

I really don’t know what to write about in this entry. I have too many thoughts to share about the picture. I guess I could mention how I always rather disliked Scott Summers as the leader of the X-Men and just wanted someone like Logan to shut him up, or rather, fill him up in this particular instance! WOOF!

However, this picture in my head has very little to do with Cyclops. The posture I worked on here reminded me a lot of Patrick Fillion, as it’s a posture he likes to use a lot on his characters. I’m a big fan of Fillion’s work, as well as his efforts to manage something as beautiful as Class Comics, which I can only dream to be able to work with at some point in the future.

In this particular piece, I looked back through Patrick’s old work, studied it and tried to toy around with the idea of merging his earlier style to mine and see the outcome. Sadly, I don’t think I am anywhere close to his brilliant design and/or coloring, so I guess I’ll have to stick with building up my style from the group up like I have been trying to do for the past while!

Never the less, thank you Patrick for being such an inspiration to me and I can only hope that sometime in the future I will be able to work alongside you and Class Comics.
