Awesome Art Picks: Hawkeye, Justice League, X-Men and More

The coolest comic book art you won't see in comics.

Each week we gather up the best comic sketches that will never appear in actual comic books. The reason is, artists often do sketches and commissions and post them on their blogs, Tumblrs or Twitter pages. We want to make sure everyone gets a chance to check these beauties out. Many of the artists sell art on their sites or are available to do commissions so be sure to check them out.

Whenever we get some new Marcio Takara art, I always say we don't see enough. He posted some commissions on his Tumblr both in color and black and white.

Skottie Young posted a sketch of Alvin from Paranorman on his website this week. He often posts 'Daily Sketches' and then offers them for sale. You have to be quick because they sell out right away.

Skottie also posted a commission of Spider-Man he did earlier because Duncan Fraser had contacted him and wanted to do a 3D version of it. Check them both out.

Denis Medri has been busy again. Last week we saw his Western version of Superman (which I'll post again below). He added some more Western versions of the Justice League on his Deviant Art page.

Todd Nauck has been dabbling with doing sketches on his iPad. He's been posting pics on his Twitter using SketchbookPro on iPad (w stylus) and the Paper53 app with stylus. Check out what he can do on the iPad.

Philip Tan added some sketches to his Facebook page (but hasn't posted them on his Tumblr). I assume these are SDCC commissions.

There were some great pieces. I liked the Western Green Arrow and Wonder Woman, but the Batman and Flash versions need work. Also, John Stewart was cool, I can see him dressed all eastern city style like that, but I WANT to see a western Hal Jordan.

I so wanna read an Elseworlds western JLA story. The designs for Ollie and John Stewart are fantastic! I wish Francavilla's Hawkeye would have been a variant. Woulda snagged that up.

LMAO I love the Western ones the most.

GL looks like a pimp and Green Arrow looks like a homeless man named Jasper.

I just wanted to quickly post a picture that I did earlier this week after seeing the Dark Knight Rises. Couldn't help notice similarities between Bane and other famous "Movie Monsters."

Im not really a comic book enthisuiast but those Phillip Tan sketches are fucking incredible. For some reason his sketches kinda had a 90s comic book cover vibe to them particularly the Xmen centric ones. The Gambit sketch in particular really stood out to me.

Man oh man, just wow on all of the art.

That Skottie Young "Spideyman", sort of a Nightmare Before Christmas meets Spider-Man...is too awesome. I love love love it!

Philip Tan's art..especially that Mr. Freeze...whoa. McKon'es Bettie Page as Rocketeer is very sweet, Takara's work is incredible.

Thanks again for sharing all these, just too many to comment on, they all rock!

@longbowhunter: There is a western JLI called the Justice Riders that has Wonder Woman, Ted Kord, Wally West, Booster Gold, and Guy Gardner as well as a few others that I can't recall off the top of my head.

All were great.

Philip Tan's stuff is absolutely breath taking. That's the sort of detailed style that all comics should be drawn in.
