Dan's Marvel Doodles II: Re-Assembled!

[Vegetarian Goat]

Hey ever'body!

I'd like to introduce everyone to my brand-new doodle thread. I'm not sure there's much else to say, except that i hope you like what i have to show you, and thanks for checking it out!

There'll definitely be some repeats of characters as the old doodle thread but that's because i'm working off of a brand new list. But since the characters are chosen at random, there'll be plenty of new faces too.

I guess there's not much left to say except, on with the show!

[Vegetarian Goat]

I'm starting this thread off with a bang, by posting a WHOPPING 20 (twenty!) new doodles. I hope you like 'em.

First up, we have some Uncanny X-Chicks:

Storm
Rogue
Jean (Phoenix)
Dark Phoenix
and Sage

I decided to tweak Sage's costume a little bit from last time, reflecting the purple and red from her recent costume in Uncanny.

For Jean, i wanted to fix her face a little bit (as i was never really happy with it), and maybe try to make it a little more like Famke. I don't know how successful i was..

Next up, there are some more Crazy X-Folk on the way:

Kitty Pryde (with Lockheed)
Wolverine (Brown & Tan)
Wolverine (Blue & Yellow)
Marvel Girl
and Callisto

Let me just say- I really like John Cassaday's Wolverine Costume. I didn't really want to change it much. But i'm also a sucker for the brown costume. So i played with the color palettes a little. :)

Let me also say- Rachel's really fun to draw.

And for Callisto- I wasn't sure if i wanted to do the tentacle version or not, but i felt that the tentacles would make for a more dynamic visual. I can always go back in later and give her some arms, but i'm happy with the version here.

[Joe Zool]

Wow.

Still as talented as always, Dan!

[Vegetarian Goat]

Two more from the world of X, Two FF characters, and one Spidey Villain!

We have:

Blob
Omega Red
Invisible Woman
Super-Skrull
and The Lizard

I wanted to make the Blob as blob-ular as possible, and not just a big fat dumb guy. I thought he should look like he's spilling all over himself, and that his face should be as creepy as possible

For Omega Red, (a character i've admittedly never liked much) I thought i'd interpret him as someone who's JUST been released from years in cryogenic suspension, and that's he's something of a communist-zombie. That's why for the bandages, and the stringy hair, and the slacked jaw... I also wanted to have his tentacles look like they're part of his forearm (which i believe they are) and not part of his glove, which is how they usually look.

For The Lizard, I thought he should look more like a mindless snake-y beast, and less like a man sized reptile man. Soo.. that's that.

Here we have:

Crimson Dynamo
Nick Fury
Jessica Jones
Red Skull
and Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew)


Crimson Dynamo & Nick fury are pretty much the same as before.
I didn't change much on Spider-Woman.. she has a pretty sweet costume.

As for Red Skull- i wanted to make him look way more ghoulish and crazy- hence the super red for his skull mask, and the long billow-y arms. The giant red swastika is a throw-back to his Golden Age days, which i feel is the most iconic version of his character. He's one of those guys who i feel never should've succumbed to the "Villain in a suit-and-tie phase" of the 80's-90's.

For Jessica Jones, i wanted her clothes to have the same color scheme as her Jewel costume. so there it is.

[Vegetarian Goat]

and finally...

Dr. Strange and Dormammu.

I really changed the crap out of Dormammu. I love Ditko's designs, but i always thought this character looked silly in his spikey little baggy purple suit. So i made him into what I think an evil sorcerer should look like, and for some reason i had insect exo-skeletons in mind.

That's it for the first batch! Hope you like 'em, and i'll see ya on the next 'go-round!

Oooh, Jessica! She's all pretty,but not too pretty. Which is a hard balance to hit (Bagley doesn't quite manage it, I don't think, and Cheung's faces aren't always that distinct.) That's probably the second best version of my favorite character! (After later Gaydos, when he settled on a less haggard look)
I looked through the old thread, and I really like about 85% of your stuff, Dan. The more "out there" revamps tend to be what throw me, as they look so different. Totally a subjective thing. Your women are almost all wonderful though. (Sue's a tad generic, I think. I'd go a bit more celeb hottie, as well as the mom-ness, if that makes any sense? And She-Hulk is a little blockier than I tend to like, but once again, just me)

[The Fury]

Dr. Strange and Dormammu.

-Dan

OMG, these 2 absolutely F**ing rule!!!

Love the S-Skrull and Omega Red as well.

Bravo Sire, Bravo.

[jeangreydp]

i Love Them!

[Ronald Bryan]

The Blob frightens me.

[xakko]

Wow... I absolutely ADORE the Kitty and Lockheed. Your takes on some of these Marvel staples are just amazing- Nick Fury has never looked so grizzled. Omega Read really creeps me out, too.

Just wow.

[Sheldon]

Great work!

[slively]

GAHGAHGAH.

I love your villains. Kitty with Lockheed was adorable!! And you know how I feel about Spider-Woman. :D

I love Dr. Strange. Best one for me I think. Also best rendition of Dr. Strange I have ever seen! I prefer your version over any I have seen in the comics.

[Vegetarian Goat]

Thanks for the comments, everyone. I'm a sucker for comments!

And Slive- villains are the most fun to draw. So i'm glad you like 'em.
