Each week we gather up the coolest comic art that you'll never see in comics. The reason you won't is because artists often do sketches for fun or commissions and post them on their blogs and Tumblrs. They sometimes even arrange commissions through their sites so be sure to check them out.
We're playing a little catch up here. Last week was WonderCon so I wasn't able to post any art. Hopefully you got a chance to check out the Mystery Art Challenge. If not, you'll be able to find it below along with the final images from the challenge.
You're probably aware that we're big fans of Hawkeye and Kate Bishop here at Comic Vine. Michael Walsh posted this great sketch of her on his Tumblr along with one of Abe Sapien.
Skottie Young posted a couple sketches on his site this week, including what he described as "If Pokemon met Married with Children."
Now that Gabriel Hardman is doing a STAR WARS comic, he's doing a lot of Star Wars sketches. Check out what he posted on his blog. (Of course the last one is NOT Star Wars-related...)
Peter Nguyen was busy at WonderCon and he also posted some very interesting Damian Wayne re-designs in his Tumblr.
Denis Medri often draws movie and TV characters. He posted an Addam's Family sketch on his Deviant Art page.
Agnes Garbowska wasn't at WonderCon but she was at Boston Comic Con. She posted some commissions on her Tumblr.
I recently discovered Clay Mann's Tumblr. Here's some recent commissions he posted.
Joel Gomez was at WonderCon and took part in the Mystery Art Challenge. He posted some commissions on his Tumblr. He drew a picture for my daughter but I'll have to scan it and post next week.
Khary Randolph posted this cool Colossus sketch on his Deviant Art Page this week.
With the return of Doctor Who, Francesco Francavilla posted a sketch for the episode, "The Bells of Saint John" on his blog.
Paolo Rivera posted a commission of Carnage on his blog last week.
Chris Giarrusso posted some character sketches and a sketch version of the cover to G-MAN: COMING HOME on his website. The first issue is also available on comiXology and the full version is coming soon. And check out his Kingpin commission.
I'll admit I wasn't a huge fan of Daredevil's armored look but check out the sketch Philip Tan posted on his Facebook. Almost makes me want to see it again in comics.
Brian Buccellato was also at WonderCon and did the Mystery Art Challenge. Here's a couple sketches he did at the show that I was able to snap pics of. It's almost time for us to be able to see the new Reverse Flash!
Mahmud Asrar posted a couple of pre-show commissions for LSCC 2013 on his Deviant Art Page.
What's Pete Ross doing these days in the New 52? Check out this sketch Gene Gonzales posted on his blog.
Todd Nauck was insanely busy at WonderCon. I barely had a chance to talk to him (and I wasn't sure if he'd have time for the Mystery Art Challenge). He posted A LOT of commissions on his Tumblr. I was tempted to post them all but here's a bunch and you can check out the rest on his Tumblr.
This edition of the Mystery Art Challenge was the Hulk and an Easter Egg. I figured Hulk hadn't been done and since it was Easter weekend…why not an Easter Egg? The artist have no idea who or what the challenge will involve. They agree to do it, I start the camera and give them the challenge. They literally have seconds to come up with an idea. Check out what Peter Nguyen, Ray-Anthony Height, Joel Gomez, Brian Buccellato and Todd Nauck came up with.
Here's the images:
That's it for this week. We will of course be back with more next week. Awesome Toy Picks will also return tomorrow.
