Awesome Art Picks: Batman, Hawkeye, Galactus and More

The coolest comic art you won't see in comic books.

It's C2E2 weekend and one of the coolest things about conventions is walking through Artist Alley and seeing the artists doing commissions and sketches. Many of them post their sketches on their blogs, Tumblrs and Twitter accounts. Doing these sketches gives them the opportunity to draw characters they might normally get to do in their normal assignments. We think they are simply too great to go unnoticed.

Yesterday I got the chance to finally meet Robert Atkins in person. He's a really nice guy besides being talented. He's currently on a mission to post an Avengers sketch each day. Be sure to check out his website to find out how you can get commissions from him. Check out his Hawkeye, Black Panther, Darkhawk, Black Knight and Justice.

Gabriel Hardman is also at C2E2 this weekend. Check out the pics of he posted on his website. He assured me he'd be posting more. Check out his Conan, Green Goblin, Man-Thing, Sandman, The Doctors and Yorick (from Y THE LAST MAN).

TO g-man Great pictures but are you getting permission from those artists to post there material. I know you said the first artist did. Its not a big deal if a small website posts such images but for a huge website that's making money to post someone artwork isn't right and you could get into serious trouble. I just hope I don't see one of my images posted and yes I'm a published artist. We artists don't do work for free and don't like people stealing our work without paying.

Fans using our art is one thing but companies using it without paying is another. Please ask and respect us. I will be keeping an eye on you.

Paolo Rivera needs to draw Spider-Man. I love him on Daredevil but after seeing those Spider-Man sketches, I'm really thinking that he would be awesome on a Spider-Man book. And Capullo's Batman is always great.

I like it too but I think the only thing I LOVE about it is Atkins drawing of fabric. Holy dang. Him and Sook (and Ross) have that stuff down to a science=P

Francavilla's Cap has a 1940s look to him...I like it. And Atkins' Black Knight is just too cool for words.

I love the Paolo Rivera art. I loved this pics from his Blog too: His face and body here really remind me of the Ultimate Spider-man design.
