I really liked having an online repository of some of my art so I'm going to rebuild and hopefully add more new stuff.

Here's a sketch I did of Archangel for Draw Me An X (DMAX).

Are other people allowed to post here? I clicked on every picture you posted and definately see a sharp improvment from your early 90's stuff, except curiously for the Mystique picture you say is from 94 but looks better than the other stuff from that same time period.

That Mystique was done differently as I was looking at a Madonna poster when I drew it, so the anatomy wasn't something coming out of my head.

Here's a new one I did for DMAX: Magneto. It was a pretty quick sketch (drawn and inked in about 30 minutes) so given that time limit I'm pretty happy with it. I've never been great at cross-hatching or line shading, and I'm not familiar with most musculature yet (though I have a good book that's helping). I hope to color this once I get Photoshop again.

I like the logo a lot matt.

Just a suggestion - you might want to try a more "cartoony" style for your superheroes . . . . it seems the quality of your work takes a huge leap when you adopt that style.
