"You are not a warrior, you're a beginner!"

The half-blind little bastard...

Am I the only one who actually DIDNT completely hate his movie version? I though underworld overlord/heavyweight champion/weapon dealer was a pretty cool re-imagining...

Anyway, Pentel brushpen and some markers on Bristol, and definitely more Photoshop than usual.

Hadouken!

"I am disgusted... You have zero potential!" ....Gee thanks Akuma

I've always thought Akuma was the coolest looking character from the Street Fighter series, ever since the first time I stumbled upon his secret boss fight in Street Fighter II Turbo and thought I somehow broke the game. Akuma is a dick to fight against, a bastard to learn how to use properly but once you do he'll quickly become your favourite Street Fighter character too. Plus he's just an all round badass.

Not-so-secret Avengers...

I mean, one has badges all over and the other can fucking FLY... Talk about subtle, uh?

Anyway, I dont even remember who came up with the theme but kudos to you guys, its was a really cool book drawn by one of my top 3 fav artist right now (which change every day, but oh well), the fellow Italian Matteo Scalera.

Anyway, got so excited I have 2 sketches today.

Captain Britain, coz Matteo FINALLY made him badass (LOVED the Alan Davis version, but he/you could never take him too seriously).

Pentel, new grainy paper, crappily colored on photoshopped as usual.

And Beast, simply coz I never did before.

Same.

Ok, guys, have to say, its damn good to be back.

War Machine

And so it would appear that it falls to me to get this week rolling, here is war machine ready for action. Enjoy!

Avengers Assemble!! But be quiet about it.

After a long absence of a Nerd Invasion post we're back with Secret Avengers week. The Secret Avengers were one of the best things to come out of the Heroic Age written by Ed Brubaker and drawn by Mike Deodato. Over it's 3 year stint so far it's hosted 3 of my all time favourite Marvel characters in the squad: Nova, Hawkeye & Agent Phil Coulson. A great book and I'm so glad we got around to drawing some of these amazing characters.
