Awesome Art Picks: Darth Vader, Rocket Raccoon, Spider-Gwen, and More

Each week we search for the coolest comic book art that you won't see in actual comics. The reason you won't is because artists often draw sketches for fun or commissions and post them on their blogs, Tumblrs, and websites. Some artists even pre-arrange commissions through their sites so be sure to check them out.

Todd Nauck posted some more Post-It art on his Tumblr along with an Apocalypse pic.

Here's a J. Jonah Jameson pic Chris Samnee posted on his Instagram.

Here's the rest of the commissions Sara Pichelli posted on her Tumblr from a recent convention.

Brett Booth posted another Wonder Woman sketch on his Twitter page and Norm Rapmund posted the inks he did on Brett's Batman sketch on his Twitter.

Dustin Nguyen posted a Batman Beyond pic on his Tumblr. It's also up for sale on eBay.

Paolo Rivera posted a Batman and Nightwing commission on his blog.

Greg Smallwood has been posting warm up sketches on his Twitter page.

Denis Medri posted a Spider-Gwen sketch on his Deviant Art page.

Kris Anka posted some more sketches on his Tumblr this week.

Philip Tan posted a few more sketches on his Facebook page.

Francesco Francavilla posted some more art on his Tumblr.

Chris Giarrusso is still posting daily sketch cards on his website. Check out which ones are still for sale. (EDIT: Looks like more are sold out).

Peter Nguyen posted a Cyclops sketch on his Tumblr.

Marcio Takara posted some recent commissions on his Tumblr.

Ray-Anthony Height posted a couple new sketches on his Instagram.

Gene Gonzales posted more "Conventionless" Sketches on his blog.

That's it for this week. We'll have more art once again, next time. Let us know which ones were your favorites.

Philip Tan and Marico Takar knock it out of the perk this week (I also really liked the stuff by Kris Anka)

These two pieces are also really good

Too many fantastic ones here to call out all of them, but holy crap Todd Nauck, that Apocalypse is amazing!

Really good week. One of the best

@holyserpent:

Totally agreed! Even got a Conan & an Elvira in the mix! And that Vampirella was so friggin' sexy!! Kris Anka Bucky Cap, cool GOTG stuff from Pichelli, always awesome Tan, Nauck & Francavilla- too many good things to name!!

I absolutely LOOOVE the way Brett Booth draws Wonder Woman!

This is the best selection of art I've seen in a long time.

Leaving the pens off to the side make the image jump off the page.

Love me some Universal Monsters!

Judge him by his size at your own peril....

Regarding Tan and Booth, you get the sense of enjoyment from their pencil sketches. It is really great seeing all the shading and details they both use in their work, always outstanding.

Gonzales' work always impresses with his "clean" line work, and I really dig that Spider-Man 2099. Who thought Madame Masque could look so sexy as well.

Takara always impresses with his work, whether it is colored or not and I love his style portraying female characters.

Loved Henderson's take on Yoda and Vampirella.

Really great round this week.

While toying with the idea of a Wonder Man movie design I realized that Wonder Man's original design was green, had a helmet, and goggles. He was created by Baron Zemo, a leader in Hydra. In the Captain America movies Hydra soldier uniforms were black/green with helmets that looked remarkably like Wonder Man's, and goggles. (Also, the Background I found on google.)

So I had to design him that way. I also added in the other Masters of Evil (although I am sure in the movie they would call themselves something like the Masters of Humanity).

I like the Cyclops and Commiss Gordan.

That Cyclops one.

This looks awesome!

Todd Nauck's Apocalypse pic in the beginning...damn.

Damn!!! I'm torn between Todd Nauck's Apocalypse picture and Booth Rapmund's Batman picture!! But I have to go with the Apocalypse pic. Sorry Batman. :(

who is the Hot nippy chick right before the Harley Quin pic?

Really nice Art this week!!!!

The new female art hurts to see, seeing as I am trying(Rage Quitting to the highest degreee) to come out of artist block

Though between this and the new Sejic art I've seen of recent it does help a bit

The drama in phillip tans thor is freaking incredible

Lots of gorgeous art, but Wada's Donna takes it for me.

where can i see some more mike henderson art? what books is he on?

Brett Booth made some awesome ones
