Each week we gather up the greatest comic book art that you won't see in actual comics. The reason you won't is because artists often draw for fun or for commissions and post them on their websites, blogs and Tumblrs. Some of them even arrange commissions through their sites, so be sure to check them out for more information.
Just a note, with Thanksgiving this week, looks like we ended up with a little less art than we usually find.
Each week Brett Booth posts a character sketch on his blog. This week, Brett posted a lot of art including what appears to be a sketch of Batgirl in the pages of TEEN TITANS #15. Always great to comic pages in their early stages.
Have you seen Denis Medri's 'Rockabilly Batman' sketches on his Deviant Art page? They are pretty dang cool and it turns out someone's created a Facebook Fanpage to try to get DC to move forward with making this a reality. Head on over there to 'like' the page.
Marcio Takara's been posting more "tiny heroes" on his Tumblr. Check out what he's posted this week.
Imagine what it'd be like to have someone like Freddie E. Williams II as your uncle. He posted some sketches that he drew for his niece and nephews (the girl sketch is a "Popstar Princess Barbie" in case you were wondering). Check out his TwitPic page for some work-in-progress pics of Mario.
Every time I see Chris Giarrusso draw a Marvel character, it makes me long for his MINI-MARVEL comics. Check out these sketches he posted on his site.
Joel Gomez posted a cool sketch of Mr. Freeze on his Tumblr along with a couple more Marvel/UpperDeck sketch cards.
Daniel HDR posted some more sketches and commissions on his Tumblr this week.
Todd Nauck posted some more sketches on his Tumblr using copic sketch markers, Kuretake brush pens, Pigma Micron markers and a Bic Wite Out pen. Always amazing stuff.
Peter Nguyen is over in Japan right now but he still posted a couple sketches on his Tumblr this week.
Mike McKone posted this lovely sketch on his TwitPic page on Thanksgiving.
Guess who forgot to check Terry Dodson's Deviant Art page lately? He posted some more NYCC commissions on there this week as well as some the past few weeks.
Hopefully you've seen Wreck-It Ralph by now. Check out this sketch Skottie Young posted on his website.
That's it for this week. We'll be keeping our eyes peeled for the next installment of Awesome Art Picks. If you know of any comic artists with blogs or Tumblrs that I've been missing, shoot me a p.m. to let me know.
