Description I was over at the drawingboard and came across a sweet drawing done by Francesco Francavilla of good ol' Kalibak. The muse carried over into this pic here. I stuck pretty close to the design I did for the Phantom Zone line up, with some minor improvements. I thought I'd also start posting more rough work too. I find the most energy in a piece is most often found at this stage. The key is to carry it over, which can take a lifetime of study and drawrin'. Cheers!

Let's hear it for the power of puuuuuuuuuuuns!!!!

Always a fan of your rough work they hold just as much artistic prowess as your finished pieces!

Nice piece.

I agree with you about energy and whatnot at this stage. I constantly get frustrated that when I finish with a piece the energy is lacking as opposed to the sketch. Hopefully I'll achieve that level of mastery like you have.

Yep! There is a lot of picks where I prefer a sketch over a finished piece.

I dunno what was better. The art or the title. The title had me laughing for a good minute.

What would make it better is that since you made a Justin Timberlake reference...is to have his head on Kalibak's axe!!!

Then I would enjoy it just a tad more....

Out of all the New Gods characters I always found Kalibak the hardest one to draw. You make it look easy - nice work!

master, that's true, I can not explain it, but it's true: sketches can keep a piece of the life of the drawer to look more awsome...

You know I always have enjoyed your "rough" work (even though your lines are so clear and smooth, it might as well be a finished piece, by and other), and this is no different!

Can't wait to see more from you, *cough*Batman Sequentials*cough*

I actually enjoy looking at people's sketchy stuff more than some of the finished versions. It helps me as an art student to see how they went about it. I'm a very visual person so I love these kinds of drawings. Well done!
