So what was I saying about scraping the bottom of the obscure character barrel? Hi there, Hypno-Hustler, nice to meet you. Another kind-of request for Nick Marino.

359 – Wundarr the Aquarian
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in this year of daily sketches, it’s that just when you think you’ve found the most obscure character you could possibly draw, there’s another even more obscure character waiting around the corner. Today’s is the Aquarian, a sort-of request by Nick Marino, creator of multiple webcomics and 79 or …
357 – Mockingbird
Marvel’s version of Black Canary to their version of Green Arrow, aka Hawkeye.
354 – Jack of Hearts
I’d been sitting on this one for a while, as I wanted to color it up all fancy-like, but I could never get around to it, and I’ve grown to dislike the drawing immensely. I may give the character another go in the future. Anyhoo, he’s yet another awesomely weird/obscure Marvel character from the 70s/80s, …
348 – Moon Knight
Kurt didn’t have to request Moon Knight. I was gonna draw him before the year was up at some point, this just finally gave me a good excuse to do it. I’m a big Moon Knight fan, though I haven’t really warmed to his current series. I really liked the previous volume that was seemingly …
346 – Raza
I know this character from The Starjammers, a group of Space Pirates who are supporting characters in the X-Men books, designed by the genius of Dave Cockrum, and as a whole vastly underrated and underused characters. That said, I don’t know a lot about this specific character, other than that he had a ponytail and …
345 – The Mandarin
Kurt Dinse is opening my mind up to an amazing wonderland of ridiculously dressed villains! I’ve known for a long time that most of the classic silver age Marvel villains were all decked out in green and purple, but I had never seen The Mandarin in this get-up before. I’ve only seen him as a …
344 – The Beetle
I’ve always kinda dug Beetle, the Spider-Man/Iron Man villain. I remember him from one of the old cartoons and thought he had a cool distinct look. He’s incredibly underused. I honestly can’t think of any comic I’ve seen him in other than The Ultimate books. So, when Kurt asked for this particular version, I was …
343 – Eggheads
It’s Kurt Dinse Week Part 2: The Quickening. Kurt had asked for Egghead, the Marvel villain, which I had never heard of or seen before this request. But I knew of Egghead, the Batman villain from the 60s Batman tv show portrayed by Vincent Price. So I sketched up a little Egghead vs. Egghead action.
342 – Man-Thing
Kurt Dinse is a person that I have grown to consider as a friend, despite being two states away and only interacting via internet or during random comic conventions (or as a guest on Gutter Trash via text). Kurt is the creator of One Year in Indiana, a comic I would love even if I …
