Wolverine – “The Scars are Not Wounds Anymore. They’re Stories.” by Mike Deodato!

Mike Deodato created this amazing Wolverine piece.  I love the drawing and what Mike had to say about it.  Here’s part of it, click over for the full statement

Age didn’t break Wolverine.
It forged him. Tempered the fire, focused the fury.

The scars are not wounds anymore. They’re stories.
Proof that he’s been through everything and somehow still stands — steady, deliberate, unstoppable.

“Creature from the Black Lagoon” Reboot Designs by Miles Teves!

There have been several attempts to revive The Creature from the Black Lagoon.  (And I wish someone would get it done!)  John Carpenter was involved with a reboot for a while, but that project never crossed the finish line.

What we see here today is concept art created by Miles Teves.  Teves has worked in film/television as a concept artist, illustrator, and makeup FX sculptor since 1984.  The illustrations here were created for a possible Creature from the Black Lagoon reboot around 1997.  At that time Carpenter had moved on and Ivan Reitman was leading the charge.  Sadly, Reitman’s movie never made it to filming.

It’s interesting to note the changes Teves made from the original CFTBL design.  Note the tail and a more lizard-like appearance.

Sly Stallone as Rocky Balboa from “Rocky” by Andrew Charipar!

Andrew Charipar is a Florida artist that I met going to conventions throughout the state.  Andrew was always friendly.  Getting a sketch at any show Andrew attended was mandatory.

In addition to his work as an artist, Andrew owns and manages Misfit Corner Comics in Jacksonville, Florida.

Here we have Andrew’s take on Sly Stallone as Rocky Balboa from Rocky!
