Superman - Imaginary Acquaintances

Myself and a bunch of talented artists decided to make a group sketch blog titled “Imaginary Acquaintances”

Each week we’ll be tackling a new topic.Our first topic was "My Superman." Mine is pictured above. Just a gag, but it was fun to draw.

Check us out here: www.iasketchblog.tumblr.com/
And give us a follow.

C2E2 - Pre-show Sketches!

Starting right now, I'll be taking pre-orders for sketches for C2E2 2014!

This is the first convention I've ever attended outside of my lovely cold Canada and I don't have any others planned for the next while as I'll be knee deep in a number of projects. I'll be there for the entire show, but want to ensure I have time to ENJOY the show, so I'll only be taking a limited number of sketches while there.
 
Sketches are done on 9x12 bristol in ink and in some cases inkwash (If you really want something on a specific blank sketch cover, let me know and we can try to figure something out.)

These are to be picked up at C2E2 at my artist alley booth (B8)

Pricing:

Head/Bust - $40
Full single character - $80

If you are interested, please email me at: vmalhotra@shaw.ca

Young Hellboy....

The black and white inks:

 Earlier this year Multiversity Comics asked me to contribute a piece for their 20th Anniversary of Hellboy celebration called "31 Days of Hellboy."

Here's what I came up with. Fun to draw. Fun to colour.

You can see this piece and many others here:

X-Files Conspiracy: The Crow #1 - Out Tomorrow!

Hey folks,

Out tomorrow is my issue of the big IDW crossover event: X-Files Conspiracy. It's a quick one off story that involves a new Crow character. It also connects into the overall crossover, but I think it stands up to read as a single issue as well. So go check that out!
Preview here.... http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=20682

There's a bunch of stuff I'm happy about in this issue, but my mind is already past that and onto the next project. You can't bask in the glory for too long




Up above are a few B/W pages from the book. I had an awesome new colourist named Mats Lopes colouring the interiors (hand picked by your truly), and I think he did an awesome job.

I'm looking forward to seeing the print copy tomorrow. For those of you in Edmonton, I'll be at Happy Harbor Comics in downtown from 4pm-7pm signing and sketching. I'll bring some of the original art as well. Come out and say hi, if you can make it! :)

Touch base soon!

Nap time...

Just a sketch. I like how this turned out. And yes, that blanket is fuzzy.

Heisenberg...

Whew! Almost missed updated this blog for the entire month of February.
Here's another Breaking Bad piece. I did one last year as well, if you remember.

Anyhow, out in two weeks is my issue of X-Files Conspiracy: The Crow (Preview coming soon!) I'm working on Tiger Lawyer 4 currently (amazing issue!) and then onto a new project at Image Comics (More information on that in a few months!)

Tintin

A sketch that I had fun colouring. It's impossible to separate Tintin from Herge's style so I had a great time studying how he drew Tintins face and Snowy/Milou.

Sketch: Mr. T

Just something from the corner of a sketchbook page. Coloured in photoshop so I could emphasize those chains!

Sketch: Dr. Doom

I always enjoy drawing any of Kirby's characters, Dr. Doom being one of the best of them!
