Tomb Raider
How can any art collection be complete without every geek fanboy's fantasy. The lovely Lady Croft, also known as the Tomb Raider.
How about another Garfield
Here is another plaque staring my favorite feline! This guy has kept me laughing for as long as I can remember. I own most of his books. He has a great outlook on life.

Hulk
Here is another plaque I made of the Incredible Hulk. I really like this picture. I think it was taken from a comic drawn by Sal Buscema. I hope I haven't already posted it, but without going back through all my posts I don't remember.
Garfield again
I made this plaque for a friend that is a chiropractor. He has it sitting in his treatment room.

Dawn
Here is a picture of Dawn. She doesn't need a lot of introduction, the picture speaks for itself.
Still Another Catwoman
I never seem to run out of pictures of Catwoman. Here is another picture taken from a cover of one of her magazine. This one has a little action to it.

Gambit
Here's a character I know almost nothing about. He is one of the X-men but I haven't read much with him in. This was a special request.
Here's another Great Catwoman Picture
This is the scene of one of Catwoman's comic covers. I don't remember the issue number so I can't put it down here. I really enjoyed doing this one, it was a challenge with the fight scene. It's one that took a long time to do.

Hulk
Here is a picture I found in an old comic. It was an advertisement for the Hulk comics. I really like this picture, it shows the anguish that Dr. Banner must be going through having to live with the Hulk inside him. I should probably do this in color!
Time for another Catwoman
Here is kind of a "bust" of Catwoman. She's a very popular character so I've made several plaques with her picture.
Black Widow
Here is a plaque picturing Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow. This was done an a different type plaque, with the bark still on the sides. Kind of a neat effect, I think.

Great seller on eBay
Before I finish posting for the day I wanted to get the word out on a vendor I have had good luck with on eBay. This guy has excellent comics and I've bought from him more than once. Every time I've bought from him he has done right by me. His user ID is ringfinger1999. I don't know if he has anything running right now, but check him out. He's got some great comics. (If you click on his user ID on this blog it'll take you to his feedback.
Another Garfield
Here is another picture of Garfield, acting as only he can. This cat has amused me since I was in high school. I can never get enough of him. This plaque was done for a friend also.
I have nothing further on the current commission. I've been pretty busy with work and school so I haven't had much time for it. I hope to get to it some this week end and next week.
Fathom
Here is a picture of Fathom. I believe she is a Michael Turner creation. No, she is not the character played by Raquel Welch in a movie made a couple of decades ago.
The Black Cat
Here is a picture of one of Spider-man's girls. She was an interesting character and for awhile she and Spidey were hitting it off. She lost in favor of MJ though.

Garfield and Friends
I'll finish my posting today with a plaque of Garfield. This is the picture that was on the Garfield catalog last Christmas. I really liked the picture and made it for myself. I really like this cat!
Fantastic Four
Here is a picture based on one drawn by John Byrne (I believe). If I remember right, it is on the back of one of the issues of Fantastic Four's magazine.
Catwoman again
Here is another picture of catwoman. This one isn't in color, but then the picture speaks for itself.

Spider-man and the Black Cat
This was made using a picture I downloaded off the internet. I don't remember who the artist was so I can't give him/her credit. If anyone knows and wants to let me know I'll post it here. I really like this picture. I think these two made a good couple. (Of course MJ is great too!)
It's the Soldier
I have made this plaque 3 times. Having served in the U.S. Army it is one of my favorite ones to make. The words are hard to read in this picture so I'll post them here.
IT’S THE SOLDIER
It’s the soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press
It’s the soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It’s the soldier, not the campus organizer
It’s the soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press
It’s the soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It’s the soldier, not the campus organizer
who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It’s the soldier, not the lawyer,
Who has given us the right to a fair trial
It’s the soldier who salutes the flag,
Serves under the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who gives the protester the right to burn the flag.

Superman
It's time for another Superman picture. I have one posted earlier that has this pose but has the "Death of Superman" emblem behind it. I thought I would show it without the emblem.
Another Garfield
Here is another plaque featuring everyone's favorite over eating, Monday hating, wise cracking feline. This picture echoes my own feelings some mornings.
The Black Knight
Here is a picture of one of the lesser known Marvel Characters. He was one of the Avengers. I never really thought they did much with his character development.
