Description "The weed of crime bares bitter fruit. Crime does NOT pay."

One of my favorite characters of all time is the pulp vigilante, THE SHADOW.

I did this sketch in just a few minutes, tossing on some basic color to add a little spice. Hope you like it.

Started going back a few pages to check on your earlier work. This one here is amazing. The Shadow has always been one of my favorites, and you captured him perfectly. The color is spot on.

Very nice! Classic pose, evocative, shadows...and I love those "mammoth automatics," to use Walter B. Gibson's vernacular. Pulptastic!

They need to get somebody like Darwyn Cooke to produce a new Shadow series. He kicked ass with Silver Age Justice League!

That is absolutely fantastic. LOVE the gray tones and the red just makes everything pop. It looks like you had a good time drawing him. I was horribly intimidated by him while I did my sketch a little while back. Love it!

Years of doing con sketches have helped me get pretty good speed with head shot sketches. I love me some Shadow.
