Here are several of my Defenders pics together over a screenshot of the Doctor Strange animated film's Sanctum Sanctorum.

Those are some great pictures Child and Ronnie. How do yall do it, free hand or do yall use a computer? I always wanted to learn how to draw but never really had time to take classes.

These pictures are making me wish they would publish the Defenders again.

Dude, I am familiar with your amazing art and yet this is the first time I see this.
Let me tell you, I have always been a HUGE Defenders fan, and that pic kicks all kinds of azz!!!
Fantastic! Amazing!!

(the only thing that would rock even more is if Hellcat, Gargoyle, Devil Slayer and the female Red Guardian were there, which would make it my absolutely favorite line-up of the team, from the glorious days of the JM DemAtteis-penned Defenders book!

But hey, beggars can't be choosers...I LOVE The pic!
THANKS!!!!!

Man, I have been wishing for that forever!

(and no, the Giffen/McGuire mini doesn't count to me, that was awful.
I want a defenders team more in the mold of JM DeMatteis or the Kurt Busiek relaunch)

BTW, thanks fo rthe compliments, I draw my art freehand.

No joke, the Giffen mini was horrible, I bought the trade and had to force myself to finish it. I never really read the whole thing cause toward the last issue I just skimmed cause I couldn't stand reading much more of it and I wanted to finish is cause it was a Defenders story.

I love your Dr. Strange, I've always been a big fan of him. It's nice to see him become more popular. But with him in NA I doubt he would be in a Defenders book if one were to come out soon and that would be sad.

[RonnieThunderbolts]

Here is the group with Aragorn, Hellcat and Moondragon added. I have already done the female Red Guardian, I'll have to add her to the pic sometime as well.

I've not done Devil-Slayer or Gargoyle yet, but Gargoyle is on my "to do" list down the line.

Thanks for the kind words all. I draw in pencil and ink, scan, and color in Photoshop. Back to work for me...

[ChildOfTheDarkholde]

You never know.

I see your point, especially because of the very particular status quo post CW and the reasons Strange is in NA, but hey...if Wolverine can be in both Astonishing X-men and NA...

[MakeshiftHero]

You never know.

but hey...if Wolverine can be in both Astonishing X-men and NA...

Haha yeah, and having his own two solo books. So yeah why not have Strange be in both or have an astral form in one and his physical form in the other.

There you go! :D

[MakeshiftHero]

There you go! :D

And hopefuly whenever they make another Defenders they don't dumb down the Surfer vastly to where it seems as if he just arrived on the planet.

Shoot, don't remind me.

I loved the old Defenders stories cuz they were bizarre and weird and a lot of them had many light-hearted moments, but they were still kickass superhero yarns with cool battles and action-packed plots.

But dumbing a character down just to make it "funny"?
Ugh.

Then again, the Silver Surfer seems to be a favorite "target" as of late.
Didn't Black Panther recently hold him in some sort of wrestling choke move or wghatever it's called?


Utterly absurd...:rolleyes:

Next thing we know Squirrel Girl will beat Thanos.

Oh, wait...she already did...:eek:

Pa-Patrick Zircher? The real deal?? Oh, man, can I get an e-autograph? I loved your work on Cable & Deadpool!!

Hey, did you know Deadpool was a Secret Defender once? Back in the day, anyway, in Secret Defenders #15, 1994.

[ChildOfTheDarkholde]

Childe,
If it suits your interest, you should put together an art submission. If you can tell a story you might get editorial attention. Nice work.

Anyway, I wanna play too.
Here's a Namor illo I drew a little while back.

Wow.
Thanks a lot of the nice words, and thanks so much for the awesome art not only here on this thread but in comics...I fricking loved your work in Thunderbolts!!!


(pssst...you should do New Avengers after Yu...)

And, my wee redesign of Nighthawk. I figger he could have fancy wings like the Falcon has now, or a cloak much like that old anime- Battle of the PLanets? Was that its name?

Love your Hellcat, Marvelboi!

[nuclearman]

Awesome work everyone ... being a huge defenders fan I am hanging out for that Gargoyle you promised us Ronnie. ... oh and Son of Satan would be cool ... anyone??

[escapegoat]

Heya Patrick

Cool designs there. I remember seeing your work waaaaaay back when I played Villains and Vigilantes in high school, and I'd be looking at the modules wondering "What happened to Jeff Dee?" (Not that there was anything wrong with the stuff you did :D ... it was just the shift between you and him as contributing artists that had me wondering) I still have a lot of those modules. You've come a long way since then :)

bowflex?!? looks like he's been doing squats like a pro football running back! ;)

Love your Hellcat, Marvelboi!

i agree, but the nighthawk is a 'wee-bit' out of proportion, torso to leg wise.

It's nothing factual but over in Newsarama for the Joe Friday they said that Marvel has been tossing around acouple Defenders ideas for a new book. But nothing serious.

Oh man, you are the shiz, man!

[Albert]

Some very cool pics, gang.

And Child, your Valkyrie looks just incredible. Its rare to see a female character look that intimidating and sexy at the same time. Strange looks great as well. Mr. Zircher is right... you should definitely submit some work. I'd love to see what you could do with sequential storytelling.

Very nice. The headpiece looks very Batmanny, but definitely works. Great work getting her tresses down. I'd love to see that colorized.

Thanks, guys!
Here's two gals that were Defenders for a very short time:
