Completing this particular patron’s collection of classic “mix-em-up” villains, like Super-Skrull, Mimic, Super Adaptoid… actually, that’s it, I think? Also, there’s probably more, I’m just unaware. All of this month’s Patreon reward sketches were done using a new fountain pen I recently bought with some fancy refillable ink, and I had some learnin’ to do. …
Been thinking about The Tick a lot lately, and it was just serendipitous that the patron asked for him. The Tick is very special to me, but I didn’t want to just draw him standing or posing. I consulted a friend about what I should do with this sketch. He suggested Tick reading a comic …

I normally seize up at doing likenesses, but felt more relaxed at this. Given now that two different men have played the character, I can safely say Mad …
I don’t think any movie is “perfect”, but RoboCop is damn close. Drawing this got me thinking about actor Paul McCrane, who plays Emil in RoboCop, and of course, gets drenched in toxic waste and then gets exploded into nothing via hit and run. It’s one of the most memorable moments of the film, and …
I knew nothing of the Doom 2099 series or character. Turns out, it’s just regular-class modern day Doctor Doom somehow in the year 2099. Feels like Marvel pulled that trick a few times. Turns out, I like this suit.
