Headed Off (2016 Version) – Black and White
This is the second of four images I drew in 1990 as covers for a zine. The zine was either never published or published without my covers. Either way, I’ve forgotten its name.
In 2010 I scanned all four images for this website. I also redrew the images in my current style and skill level. 
Now, in 2016, I’m redrawing those images again, first as black and white pieces, then adding computer color. 
The Black Suit (2016 Version) – Color
The version below is the CMYK version. Like Daikazu last week, it’s brighter than I intended.
I enjoy having two different color versions without me having to do extra work (other than changing modes) so I’m posting the RGB version as well. I’ll probably continue do that for a while, until I either get bored or figure out what I’m doing that’s creating the bright versions. 
The Black Suit (2016 Version) – Black and White
In 1990 I drew four images for the covers of a zine that never got published. This is one of them. 
In 2010 I scanned the first image and posted it online. At the time I decided that it would be fun to redraw the image in my contemporary style. When I posted the second version I (half jokingly) suggested that I should redraw the image every five years.
It’s 2016 and I’ve done a redraw. Only a year late. This one is intended to be colored so the shading is more minimal than the previous versions. 
Mighty Daikazu – Color
This one ended up with much brighter colors than I’d planned. I’ve colored all my previous illustrations in RGB mode in Photoshop. RGB is the format used for online images. This illustration was done in CMYK mode. CMYK is the format used for print. The colors didn’t look this bright when I was working on them. They’re only showing up like this now that I’ve posted the image online.
Or maybe I’m seeing things. 
Nope. Above is an RGB version.
Apparently I have much to learn. Which is why I’m doing these things.
Mighty Daikazu – Black and White
Godzilla. Gamera. King Kong. Gorgo. Konga. Reptilicus. Daikazu. What do these monsters all have in common?
Each of them has headlined their own comic book series.
Only one, Daikazu, is an original comic book creation. The other monsters all starred in movies first. Daikazu starred in 11 black and white comics (eight of Daikazu, the regular series; three of Daikazu vs. Gugoron, a miniseries) published from 1987 to 1991. It was a fun book – written, drawn and published by Mike Wolfer. It was a fun book. I wish it had had a longer run. After suspending Daikazu Wolfer has had a long career doing adult oriented horror comics.
Daikazu is the monster on the right. The monster in the background is unnamed and only makes an appearance in this illustration.
Zorimi’s Winged Terrors – Color
And who are the arch enemies of the giant manfaced bats? Giant bat men of course! A depiction of one of those (on the cover of The Popular Magazine) can be found here.
Zorimi’s Winged Terrors – Black and White
Surrilana, the vast system of caverns beneath the Himalayas (as described in the pulp serial Morgo the Mighty), is home to a variety of weird creatures. The first such species that McRory and company run into (literally, with their airplane) is the giant manfaced bat. This creature is huge – about the size of a human being, and somewhat intelligent – enough to follow the orders of the masked tyrant Zorimi,
Burrabb Family Discussion – Color
No, I don’t know what they are talking about. I don’t speak Burrabb. Not that there is a standard Burrabb language. There’s not a standard human language, why would you think there was a standard Burrabb language?
Burrabb Family Discussion – Black and White
This is a typical Burrabb family group. Or, as typical a family group as can be represented in one random image. The Burrabb inhabit thousands of different ecosystems on hundreds of different planets. Some live in hunter/gatherer societies. Others live as interstellar sophisticates. The Burrabb, like human beings, are a diverse species. So I take it back. This is not a typical Burrabb family group.
