A favorite hip hop artist and a favorite super hero clash... there's only one thing left to do. Draw Common as the Green Lantern before any of the movie photos leak..... aaaaaaaaaand done.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7etogCbS1qI/R7SM0MVX8qI/AAAAAAAAABA/kAXeJyJkOsA/s1600-h/Common2_green+lantern.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7etogCbS1qI/R7SM0MVX8qI/AAAAAAAAABA/kAXeJyJkOsA/s400/Common2_green+lantern.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5166909500792763042" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8861548302254621409-4322891045843674551?l=michaelmaherart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>mmaherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12077852917140650195noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861548302254621409.post-46549459987843169262008-02-10T15:27:00.000-08:002008-02-10T15:36:38.493-08:00Here's a fun one. All photoshop, two days, two sittings. Took me approx. 6 hours. I remember watching Aquaman as a young Aqua-lad. The old cartoon was made in the 60's and it was pretty poorly written and animated. But if I had never seen it I would never found an interest in drawing super heroes today. I guess since the 60's, Aquaman lost his hand somehow. That's a downer, except now he has a sick man-skewering hook on it. Niiice.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7etogCbS1qI/R6-KasVX8pI/AAAAAAAAAA4/i4iXXUpa3Fs/s1600-h/Aquaman2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7etogCbS1qI/R6-KasVX8pI/AAAAAAAAAA4/i4iXXUpa3Fs/s400/Aquaman2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165499488799290002" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8861548302254621409-4654945998784316926?l=michaelmaherart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>mmaherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12077852917140650195noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861548302254621409.post-86401345751027167932008-02-08T10:18:00.000-08:002008-02-08T10:27:58.035-08:00My imagination goes crazy when I think about drawing Nightcrawler. What a cool ability... I mean transportation would be wicked in every way. Plus the guy just looks cool. Two Halloween's ago, I went to school in a Nightcrawler costume that I made myself, (huge dork I know). It looked good though. <br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7etogCbS1qI/R6ye5EAEjfI/AAAAAAAAAAw/Gt6n3rk-hp8/s1600-h/nightcrawler+sm.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7etogCbS1qI/R6ye5EAEjfI/AAAAAAAAAAw/Gt6n3rk-hp8/s400/nightcrawler+sm.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164677575850888690" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7etogCbS1qI/R6yeikAEjdI/AAAAAAAAAAg/iWurE3d4QIU/s1600-h/nightcrawler+3+work.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7etogCbS1qI/R6yeikAEjdI/AAAAAAAAAAg/iWurE3d4QIU/s400/nightcrawler+3+work.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164677189303832018" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7etogCbS1qI/R6yejEAEjeI/AAAAAAAAAAo/7IxTp5U-FK8/s1600-h/nightcrawler+2+copy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7etogCbS1qI/R6yejEAEjeI/AAAAAAAAAAo/7IxTp5U-FK8/s400/nightcrawler+2+copy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164677197893766626" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8861548302254621409-8640134575102716793?l=michaelmaherart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>mmaherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12077852917140650195noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861548302254621409.post-76761559923821361822008-01-31T19:35:00.000-08:002008-01-31T19:40:55.223-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q110/dtownlove/Fantasticg.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q110/dtownlove/Fantasticg.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />I've been drawing super heroes for as long as I can remember.
