Thunderbolts Army (Thunderbolts 104 SPOILERS)

[RonnieThunderbolts]

I plan on updating my Thunderbolts, including the current massive "former" villain army. So, in addition to the miniscule ammount of T-Bolts pics I'd promised, but yet to do, expect the following sometime relatively soon (for villain requesters, and Serpent Society fans in particular, look closely...)

Doctor Octopus, Killer Shrike, Quicksand, the Tatterdemalion, Unicorn, the Eel, Pretty Persuasions, Porcupine, Whirlwind, Vermin, Ox, Mongoose, Blacklash, Whiplash, as well as SS members Bushmaster, Rattler and King Cobra, and the U-Foes (Ironclad, Vapor, Vector and X-Ray), not to mention the original and second, classic, Beetle armors... (I've already done the current 10 member T-Bolts cast, the hulking, most recent, Beetle armor, and Batroc...)

So far I've inked the Mongoose, Quicksand, X-Ray, Vector, Ironclad, Pretty Persuasions and Killer Shrike, and also I've colored the remaining Beetles...

I've completed my first set of the massive Thunderbolts series, the Beetles team!

The first Beetle armor, worn by a young college student who appears to be Jamaican called Joaquim.

The second Beetle armor, worn by Joaquim's unnamed female partner in crime.

And finally, a beatnik-looking college friend of the aforementioned students who has stolen the third Beetle armor...

Of course, the original Beetle and the squad's leader on the Thunderbolts A-Team, Abner Jenkins, MACH-IV.

I hope you enjoy them.

Here is the next is the series, Quicksand, who was fun to figure out how to draw and color...

I'll likely post her with the B Team soon as well...

Man, that looks cool. It looks like he's ready to be an animated series.

[RonnieThunderbolts]

I draw them by hand and color them in Photoshop.

[RonnieThunderbolts]

Thanks everyone!

[Nyssane]

You never fail to amaze me. I especially love the U-Foes' art.

[Bruce Wayne Jr.]

I like to think of them as 'Thunderbolts Unlimited'. :p

Awesome work as usual, Ronnie! Great style!

[Rom]

Wow, I'm impressed and I don't impress easily! Good on You!

[dingo]

Quick question Ronnie.

Are you a professional artist or is it just a hobby?
Obviously we haven't seen any dynamic action pieces but you character study style illustrations are great.

[RonnieThunderbolts]

Thanks everyone! One more that I just finished, Pretty Persuasions.

From the New Warriors volume 1 villains called Psionex, here is the exotic dancer/hooker turned villainess, Pretty Persuasions
http://www.jjinbeat.com/Cap/StarSpangledSite/PrettyPersuasions.jpg

Hope you enjoy her, more to come. Dingo, I am in the process making a transition from being a kindergarten teacher to doing artwork for a living. I'm working on submissions for two coloring job offers these days.

[Magneto Rocks]

Yaow, these are amazing.

[dingo]

Dingo, I am in the process making a transition from being a kindergarten teacher to doing artwork for a living. I'm working on submissions for two coloring job offers these days.

Good luck with that :)

Let us know if you get it.

[RonnieThunderbolts]

Thanks Dingo. Here is my last for a little bit, Killer Shrike

Killer-Shrike!

I hope you all like him.

[comicfreak]

Those Pics are great! Wonderful work, Ronnie.

[Jack]

You never fail to impress.

[Shyft]

These are really impressive. Mach-IV is my fav so far.

[RonnieThunderbolts]

Thanks everyone! Here is a group pic of the current TBolts main cast, the ten-man team going into the current Civil War storyline.

[comicfreak]

Incredible Picture! Great Work! Can't wait for more.

[RonnieThunderbolts]

Thanks everyone! Here are my latest...

The new Eel and his partner, the new Porcupine, before their apprehension and conversion to the Thunderbolts cause...

The Eel...

The Porcupine...

[RonnieThunderbolts]

Firstly, the current Unicorn...
http://jjinbeat.com/Cap/StarSpangledSite/TheUnicorn.jpg

and also, Boomerang
http://jjinbeat.com/Cap/StarSpangledSite/Boomerang.jpg

Here are the total TBolts I've drawn to date...

I hope you like them all.

[protege]

too bad it's so big- it would make a nice poster.

[Weirdopky]

Damn dude, did you draw those? Some sick pics. Keep up the good work

[Nyssane]

Eeee! I absolutely adore the Unicorn one. :O! It's perfect!

Are you going to be making Aqueduct anytime soon? I remember on the other board, you listed the members of the Thunderbolts army but Aqueduct was nowhere on the list (even though he was seen very briefly in #104).

[Weirdopky]

I know he's not on the Thunderbolts, but I'd really like to see your interpretation of Moon Knight. If you're busy and can't do it, don't worry, but I really like your stuff, dude, it's insanely good, you should totally make like a Civil War miniseries on Cartoon Network or something.

[SnakeEater]

hey RonnieThunderbolts i was just passing by and wanted to see what this was about and im glad i did. Dude...you rock. lots of props on the pics:)

[brundlefly]

Those are some high-quality pics of the growing Thunderbolts army. Great work. I like your renditions of the U-Foes, Fixer, and Zemo the best, I think, along with the 3 Beetle armors.

[twilight]

Damn Ronnie!
Porcupine looks awesome.

Some of your best work to date is in this thread IMO.

[RonnieThunderbolts]

Thanks so much everyone! The massive list continues to shrink... Here is a new one...

Here is my latest, Maximillian Zaran: the Weapons Master, a member of Batroc's Brigade of mercenaries.

Maximillian Zaran, Weapons Master

[comicfreak]

Damn, that's one incredible picture!

[RonnieThunderbolts]

Thanks everyone! Here is my newest pic, the mutant malcontent, David Cannon, Whirlwind!
http://jjinbeat.com/Cap/StarSpangledSite/Whirlwind.jpg

I hope you enjoy them,

[RonnieThunderbolts]

Peter van Zante: the former Water Wizard, now called Aqueduct
http://jjinbeat.com/Cap/StarSpangledSite/Aqueduct.jpg

I hope you enjoy them,

[Weirdopky]

dude, these images are awesome. your style is very evolutionesque, but it's got a little touch of somethin' else, and I really like it. Dude, you gotta take this somewhere.

[Cam Man]

AWSOME! I love the thunderbolts and love these pics. Ever consider going professional? Your stuff I like a lot better than a lot of the junk being published these days. Keep it up! I want more!

[RonnieThunderbolts]

Thanks everyone! This Thunderbolts storyline is leading my collection of Marvel villains to grow expotentially in number. I'm down to 17 definite recruits and a few that seem to be up in the air. I'm definitely doing the 4 members of the Wrecking Crew, Rattler, King Cobra and Bushmaster from the Serpent Society, Ox and Snake Marston from the Enforcers, Smiling Tiger, Vermin, Slyde, Dr. Octopus, Tatterdemalion, a Lava Man and the new Blacklash and Whiplash. I hope to get some more done soon, but coloring job auditions for a monthly title and other comics work will need to be done first. So, I'll be working on those this weekend. I hope to at least get a couple of them done though, so maybe Ox (who I've sketched out) and Snake next, or maybe the Serpent Society guys, or the Wrecking Crew... I'm not sure. I have to think about it.

[RonnieThunderbolts]

Here are two more, mob agents from the Maggia's Enforcers who've recently become Thunderbolts recruits...

Strongman Ronald Bloch: Ox

And contortionist Sylvester "Snake" Marston
http://jjinbeat.com/Cap/StarSpangledSite/SnakeMarston.jpg

I hope you enjoy them! An updated group pic coming soon! I need to manage them into three rows now :)

*UPDATED* Here are the total TBolts I've drawn to date...

Back row: Batroc the Leaper, Unicorn, Pretty Persuasions, Killer Shrike, Ox, Snake Marston, Boomerang, Aqueduct, Whirlwind and Zaran the Weapons Master

Middle row: Ironclad, Vector, Vapor, X-Ray, Porcupine, the Eel, Moongoose and the three Beetles

Front row: Smuggler, Fixer, Radioactive Man, Swordsman, Songbird, Zemo, MACH-IV, Atlas, Quicksand, Blizzard and Joystick

I hope you enjoy them!

[RonnieThunderbolts]

Thanks everyone! Here are the newest in my TBolts series, the fearsome foursome of construction themed villains empowered by Asgardian godhood...

http://jjinbeat.com/Cap/StarSpangledSite/Thunderball.jpg

[RonnieThunderbolts]

And of course, the group together...
http://jjinbeat.com/Cap/WreckingCrew.jpg

I'll add them to mix of the TBolts Army at some point or another, but I hope you like them...

[Weirdopky]

dude, another masterpiece. Awesome work.

[kel25]

Wow I really like your style. By far some of the best fan art I've ever seen.
