Mighty Con Dupage!!

Well MCD is over and it was pretty awesome. The layout was great, the talent was amazing and the patrons were a lot of fun to talk to. I did wish that there was more of a footprint patron wise but all in all fun times and I would most def do it again. Special thanks all those who bought my work and super special thanks to those that asked me to draw something for them. Here's just a few pics of the con and the peeps.

My table GOMEZ brand is point!

My lil one AKA Cyanablue sharing a table with her pop.

Product looking good! 

I wish I would have thought of something to prop the 

posters up next to my stand...next time!

Commission Piece, The Black Flash!! Really cool 

character that I never heard of but awesome to draw.

The owner of the piece above, this guy looked like Paul Walker 

from the Fast and Furious movies, Sorry brutha your name escapes me. 

Him and his buddy who's name also escapes me, a couple of gents who 

know their comics inside out, thanks guys the commissions were fun.

A variant cover I was commissioned to do. I've never done one of these 

before I've seen them around but never understood why the illustration 

doesn't match the interior. The comic is Spider-Man so the idea is to 

pick another character to mash him up with. This guy wanted a She-Hulk, 

Spider-Man mash up. He gave me about ten title themed blank cover comics, 

i.e. Avengers, X-Men, Spider-Man to choose from. I choose Spider-Man.

Cosplayers so many cool cosplayers roaming around 

I was only able to get these two dudes,

Great job!

If anyone is interested in a print let me know! The 

Wolverine Black Hawks was a huge seller I only have a few left.

Wolverine and Ultra Man 24x36 Posters!!

They looks so good!! these images really do not do the posters justice.

I've gave Ultra Man a different treatment for the poster. More grey-ish with nice splashes of red and hints of blue. Looks so good! they're Ultra Dope!

The Process & For the love of Wolverine

Here's the process, it's all digital, photoshop an hour here, an hour there during lunch.

This is set up to be a print and a poster.

For the love of Wolverine: I always had comics growing up some

Spiderman, Batman, Superman I definitely was a nerd for superheroes going back to The funky Marvel cartoons, Super Friends, Adam West and Christopher Reeve. But I don't think I really fell in love with comics until I saw Classic X-Men #1 in the magazine section of our local Jewel grocery store. The cover had my eyeballs on lock down, it was unlike anything I had ever seen before, It's the first time I really took note of an artist in comic. This comic became my child, my bible, I took this thing everywhere along with my pencils, markers and paper. I would try to recreate the cover particularly the Wolverine. His pose was so dynamic to me I would study every stroke of every line, I was "SNIKT" I still own this comic, and for only One dollar this comic literally changed my life.

All that said, with this image I drew and painted (digitally) I wanted to add my own awesome iconic, classic Wolverine to the mix of images that fueled my fire for the art of comics that's what the other covers and artist below did for me. 

If a kid ever asks you to buy him or her a comic, BUY IT!

Thanks for taking the time, GOMEZ.

My Next Con Will Be @!...

This will be my first time here and looking forward to it!

Hope to see you there.

Wolvie: Update

Here's Wovie so far. Far from done but now that I have the flats and playing with some lighting the main focus on the images was to figure out my overall approach with background color and treatment. I really like the simplicity in these but for my print I don't think any of these are going to work for what I envision. But! I will be using these for something else, perhaps when I put a sketchbook together. Anyhoot, check back later for updates. I need to get this one done really soon.

Thanks!
