Description There's a bunch of cool artists that let me in their club house called Comic Twart! Each week we pick a new subject and have at it!

Here's my take on this cover by Jordi Bernet ( click this [link] ) - not nearly as cool, mainly because Bernet's version rocks and I didn't show his gun... But in the right hands, a newspaper can be used as, um, well - reading material, I suppose. Click on the image to enlarge ( if you so choose! ) Cheers!

Here's the [link] to see all the other art monsters and their take on Torpedo, Rocketeer and Zorro!

Speaking of ZORRO - click this [link] to check my little version of him. Not exactly a masterpiece but a fun sketch that took about 15 minutes or so.

Other Comic Twart artists include Patrick Stiles, Tom Fowler, Dan McDaid, Nathan Faiburn, and Ramon Perez

All this needs is a speech bubble. Hmm.

Nice mixture of media, mr Panosian. BernetΒ΄s Torpedo is an outstanding character. IΒ΄m studying art with a person (a great old master of comics) that shares scriptwriter with Bernet.
Anyway, great take on this character. Looks like you guys, are having fun
Cheers!

May I know if the club still takes in members and what are the requirements?

urban-barbarian In reply to vforvengeance [2010-02-03 18:49:08 +0000 UTC]

I think they've stopped taking members at this point. But that could change. I'm not in charge of new prospects! But if I was there would be plenty of hazing!

Devilpig In reply to urban-barbarian [2010-02-03 21:57:53 +0000 UTC]

I do. The only thing that bugs me is his left eye. Something isn't right about it. Also, it's giving me that "look". So he better watch himself.

urban-barbarian In reply to Devilpig [2010-02-03 22:23:12 +0000 UTC]

F-it! Damn you for your "eye"! Decided to go one step further and just take it out entirely. So there!

Devilpig In reply to urban-barbarian [2010-02-03 22:35:53 +0000 UTC]

I say try it without both eyes. Let the view assume where he's looking.

You're daring. But I always knew that about you.

urban-barbarian In reply to Devilpig [2010-02-03 22:05:52 +0000 UTC]

In my mind, he's squinting a bit. Only one eye is dead set. But I see what you mean. Graphically, it would probably work better if both eyes looked like the righthand one.
