Batman vs. Spider-man
more practising digital ink. Trying to figure it out for "Vuurgeest"... Although I like inking digital... Pencilling digital feels weird for me... So I did this traditionally with pencil and ink it digital... I think I'll get the best result this way...

DAILY SKETCH 17-10-2011: Thor
They are back with a vengeance !!!!! The daily sketches ... and I'm kicking off with Thor ....
I've watched the blu-ray of Thor this past weekend, and I have enjoyed it ... Nice movie. Can not wait for "The Avengers" movie.
So today I had a desire to draw Thor. So here it is. 
Reason for the "break" is that I am currently working on a pitch for my own comic book which swallowed up all my time ....
But now they are back ... so enjoy ..

DAILY SKETCH 09-09-2011:Diana the Acrobat
Number 5 of the dungeons and dragons list… Also not really a favorite of me… Something in the costume gives me a strange feeling....
This weekend there is no daily sketch…. I'm at the comic festival in Breda this whole weekend… I'm signing books at the stand of Dark dragons Books… Of course I'm with my map with daily sketches, which are for sale.

DAILY SKETCH 08-09-2011:Eric the Cavalier
Number 4… Eric. The spoiled rich kid… also the comic relief character in the group…
And it works. Frequently in this type of series the so-called comic relief character is irritating and not even funny. But Eric pulls it off. He is funny, probably because he does not try be funny…
Well, here is Eric, the Cavalier…
