Awesome Art Picks: Medusa, Doctor Doom, Joker and More

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

Every week we gather up the coolest comic book art that you won't see in actual comic books. The reason you won't is because artists often do sketches for fun or commissions and post them on their blogs, websites and Tumblrs. Some artists even arrange commissions through their sites so be sure to check them out for more information.

Looks like Chris Samnee started a Tumblr and has posted a couple new sketches.

Yay. A little more blogs and tumblrs to follow!

I can't help just "liking"Mahmud Asrar, Daniel HDR and Marcio Takara art the most on Tumblr.

I really want to learn how to ink wash, water color or whatever technique that Manapul and Asrar use.

Todd Nauck's Havok is one of my favorites, I love how he uses the classic look. Also that Tony Stark reflection in the Iron Man helmet is incredible.

Love the Rogue and Doc Doom piece. Skottie Young is awesome as usual (Fror! Or Throg?). Phil Noto seems to be the perfect choice for a Black Widow book.

But please don't put Nauck on an X-title. I can't tell why, but I'm not a fan of his work. Maybe it's because of the way he draws lips...

Phil Noto is so good. I have no interest in Black Widow but I just might buy the book for his art.

Have to agree, I think this week really was above the norm from most of the artists. Just WOW. A few pieces, well, honestly, had me scratching my head but most of it on display is just beyond words.

I mean, Gene Gonzales...dude...and M.Asrar, I am in awe of their work. Not to forget most of the artists so forgive me for not mentioning them all.

I usually end up sharing the art I like from this every Saturday on my Facebook page. A number of people enjoy it, so it is wonderful that @g_man takes the time to find these from the respective artists to view. Always a blast and always inspirational.

Nauck should draw an X-book. Loved it. Also loved the Julia Carpenter/Spider-Woman/Arachne pic.
