Awesome Art Picks: Aquaman, Iron Man, Judge Dredd & More

The coolest comic art of the week that you won't see in comic books.

It's time once again to check out some of the coolest comic art on the internet that you won't see in actual books. The reason is artists often draw sketches for commissions or for fun on their personal blogs and Tumblr accounts. It gives them a chance to draw characters they want to and may not normally get the chance on their assigned books.

Let's start out with Nightwing. Joel Gomez posted this on his Tumblr. As usual, it's pretty cool stuff.

Phil Noto is back on Awesome Art Picks with one from one of my favorites, Battle of the Planet (or if you prefer, Gatchaman). Check out his rendition of Princess.

Phil also posted an image of Finn and Jake from Adventure Time on his Tumblr. I still haven't seen the show. I'm intrigued by the commercials and also a little scared by them. Seems there's always some freaky stuff going on.

Ready for some Dustin Nguyen artwork? This week he posted an image of Aquaman.

Imagine if someday we could see a crossover with Dustin's art and Agnes Garbowska. She recently posted a piece she did before and it has Kitty Pryde, Lockheed and Magik!

Those were pretty dang cute. How about we turn it around a little? Who's the law? Why it's Judge Dredd, of course. Last week we saw a really great piece by Francesco Francavilla posted at Comic Twart and there's some more Dredd coming our way.

The first is by Evan Shaner, followed by TWO from Mr. Hawthorne with the last by Dave Johnson.

This week at Comic Twart there was also a pic of Chun-Li by Ron Salas. Perhaps we'll be seeing more Street Fighter images coming.

Peter Nguyen was busy and posted a sketch of Justice League Unlimited on his Tumblr.

Duncan Fegredo posted a couple commissions on Twitter of Poison Ivy and Hellboy.

Finally, you might recall a 3D art image of Baby Magneto by Victor Hugo posted back in June. Check out his Tony Stark pic. Is there any way we can get Disney to get this guy to do Marvel shorts in this style before their feature films?

That's it for this week. Be sure to check back for the next installment of Awesome Art Picks.

Yup.

Also the Justice League, Hellboy and Tony Stark pics are very good.

I would like to see them as movies.

A 3D Marvel short would be amazing!

That Hellboy is f'ing amazing.

They're all pretty sweet this week... my tops are the JLU, the Ivy and the Aquaman... the Nguyen and Garbowski art really makes me which we had a more expansive children's line at the big 2.

I really liked the one with Kitty Pryde, Lockheed, and Magik!

longbowhunteron Dec. 10, 2011 at 6:09 a.m.
Joel Gomez is a delight every week. Coolest pic I've seen of Nightwing in his new costume. I actually just saw the Aquaman one on a fansite the other day.

The nightwing, dredd and hellboy pics are awesome. And I'd love to see a short done in that style of tony.

difficluson Dec. 10, 2011 at 6:32 a.m.

Damn the Iron Man one is absolutely amazing.

pikahyper is online on Dec. 10, 2011 at 6:48 a.m.

Nightwing, Hellboy and Tony Stark are all awesome.

kfhrfdu_89_76kon Dec. 10, 2011 at 7:23 a.m.

Fedrego should draw at least one issue of Hellboy.

I can`t believe it, but I`d guess that Poison Ivy isn`t thinking of anything malicious in that pic.

The Impersonatoron Dec. 10, 2011 at 7:30 a.m.

Love that Chun-Li kick. :P

NyxEquitison Dec. 10, 2011 at 8:28 a.m.

@G-Man: You have a right to be scared by commercials for "Adventure Time." Crazy, pointless show.

StarKiller809on Dec. 10, 2011 at 8:29 a.m.
I really like the Nightwing one. The other ones are cool to but Nightwing is my favorite.

THIS!!

Aquaman got in a shark fight and lost is leg. He should get an eyepatch and be a pirate.

that Ironman pic is quality , a short using that stylewould be awesoem. Somebody needs to make it happen.
