Batman and Daredevil Crossover

Pencils and inks by Lee Oaks

 What do the caped crusader and the man without fear have in common?  They both were inspired by the pulp character the Black Bat.  It was when I worked on a Black Bat story that I learned about this  connection and much more, but long before that I thought that it would be fun for Bruce Wayne and Matt Murdock to switch places.  It would make a lot of sense for Batman to have echolocation like a Bat.  And Daredevil to be the wealthy inheritor of his family fortune.

The figures are on separate layers and will be lifesize cutouts for the museum exhibit.

Water Color Commissions

Some new original watercolor art I haven't yet posted.  Mike Mignola's Hellboy, Wonder Woman, Spawn covered with the Venom symbiote, She-Ra the princess of Power from the Masters of the Universe, J'onn J'onzz the Martian Manhunter and a regular old Venom... with blood :)

Water Color Painting Commissions

IRON MAN, HULK, SPIDER-MAN, ROCKETEER and MAGNETO watercolor paintings. 

I AM THE LAW

Here is a Judge Dredd cover I did.  Clear line inks and then "tones" with washes.  I knew I wanted to do something with his bike, the Lawmaster.  So I concentrated on that. 

The Hulk vs. Swampthing

Green on Green.  Swampthing being well done these days.  The Hulk is best as a team character. 

BROTHERS FROM ANOTHER MOTHER

Here's another of my sketches.  This one is a duo of Chewbacca and Mr. T.  This technique is fun, but it doesn't scan well.  The canson paper has  a very nice subtle color but it gets dulled out when scanned :(  But at least you get an idea...  The idea for this piece came from a fan comic plot I wrote involving Chewy and Mr. T as roommates.

Free Comic Book Day Sketches

I had some sketches like these of Green Lantern and Storm for Free Comic Book Day.

THOR official costume concept - LEE OAKS

The Mighty Thor in his official movie costume.  By adding the ocean backdrop it made me think of the similarities between Thor and Aquaman.  Blond hair, occasionally with beard, large iconic weapon, both drawing on King Arthur lore, related to a natural element, same status in their respective universes and Thor even sports a kind of scale-like pattern on his sleeves...  I used black guache to do the washes.

Spiderman and Mary Jane Pin-up by Lee Oaks

Here's a Spiderman and Mary Jane Pin-up I did.  I haven't drawn Spiderman since I can't remember when.  I had forgotten how much fun it is to draw him.  I think it looks better in Black and White, what do you think?

Escape from Terra volume 1 Lee Oaks

My first (instructed) art discipline was water colors.  I seized this opportunity to paint Mars the old way by hand.

Hi-Roller #2 cover Pencils Lee Oaks

I picked this layout even though it diverts from the established theme.  It captures every story element and provided me with lots of textures and challenges.  The lighting and flames, the smoke, the stars, the animals (yes animals!) and glowing music notes and embers, etc...  See below to see how it turned out.

Hi-Roller #2 cover INKS Lee Oaks

I decided nibs would be in order for the pine needles.

Hi-Rollers sponsor revealed Lee Oaks

I like how the fire turned out.  Don't ask me how I did it.  I had it all planned out in my head, then it became much more complex when putting it on paper.

Cover Hi-Roller #1 comic book Pencils Lee Oaks

For a first appearance comic, had to showcase the main characters, their dog, and of course the Hi-Roller mobile!  ...and their favorite restaurant?
