hellboy’s smoking
actually, they all are.
you can click on that first one for extra screen-sized fun. and in no way do i condone this habit. it was partially inspired by the genius of chris schweizer but mostly inspired by my pal matt putting the image of abe smoking a bubble pipe in my head. :)
also- a reminder i’ll be at sdcc this weekend. you can find me at various times fri-sun signing tori books over at the image booth (#2729). mainly i’ll just be walking around though.
also- i realized i forgot to post my current summer movie rankings in my last post. so if you care, you can view those behind the cut.
- the dark knight
- speed racer
- iron man
- kung-fu panda
- wall-e
- hellboy II
- incredible hulk
- narnia: prince caspian
- get smart
- indiana jones: kotcs
honestly, indiana jones is the only movie on that list i didn’t like (even if i was still kinda entertained). and those top six are all very close. i’ve missed a couple (hancock, center of the earth), but this really is the best summer in movie history. i guess x-files is the next one up…

I have to say I love this illustration. If you ever have prints made of it I might have to purchase one. By the way been a lurker on your site a while, dig your stuff. Thanks for sharing your craft with the world.

Much as I love the Hellboy, my fav in the piece is the Liz. Tops!

I think that this is, without contention, the cutest hellboy ever drawn. Wow.

This is really sweet, Mike! I love the way you captured the personalities of all the characters.
By the way, I think your reimagining of Superman is brilliant.

These are great, I especially love the last two! As always, the expressiveness of your drawings is so charming… you rock!

jeff- thanks for commenting! once a lot of the chaos of my current life winds down a bit, i plan on adding a print shop to my site in which all of my illos will be for sale. yay! :D
keath- accept for the inaccuracy that she’s smiling. i’m not sure liz does that very often. but then, maybe smoking is the thing that makes her the most happy?
chris- aww. i don’t know about that- but thanks!
bruna- okay, well maybe…
thanks, bruna! SDCC was a blast. in fact, the blastiest SDCC ever.
josh- thanks dude!
kent- wow, really? i still think that supes is one of the goofiest designs i’ve ever done. thanks though!
megan- no, YOU rock!
