Incredible Hulk Recreation Art!

I've always loved this simple (but dynamic) image of the Hulk, as drawn in the late-60s by comics artist Herb Trimpe.

This is my attempt at a realistic take on said iconic pose, using marker, ink, crayon, colored pencil, and pastel!

Below: I took tons of pics (with me as the subject) for reference before starting this painting...

Then I stretched, twisted, and manipulated my pics in Photoshop, to get some 

Hulk-like proportions, then used those images to help craft the finished illustration!



Below: Close-up details from the painting.

New Wonder Woman Painting!

 Here is a great "just for fun" illustration!

I was going for a kinda "70s air-brushed" retro posterized look, in both the approach and composition, and came darned close!

This was rendered in ink, crayon, and colored pencil!
