Emma Frost by Joe Pekar

Since Gene picked the costume I was going to use ;) I went with the 'X' cut out version...I think I've only drawn this version of her once before (on a sketch card, if I remember correctly).

(I thought I'd try posting a photo instead of a scan this time...just to make it interesting)

Cosplay (super) girl by Joe Pekar

This week's theme was cosplay girls. So mine's just a little homemade Supergirl outfit this redhead made. :)

Lady Blackhawk by Joe Pekar

A little late on mine, but here she is. Not the most practical outfit for fighting nazis...unless her goal was to distract them first :)

Phoenix by Joe Pekar

Here's my Phoenix for this week's post. Gene and I got a laugh that we both came up with similar layouts (we don't let each other see what we're working on before we post the art). Though I decided to go with the Dark Phoenix version. :)

Spider-Man by Joe Pekar

I got a sneak peek at Gene's spidey the other day and saw he had the heroic looking version nailed down. So I figured I'd go in a different direction and do something a little silly.

Brandi Bare by Joe Pekar

Here's mine...oh, and happy 4th of July!

(I have another one of her I posted on my blog http://joepekarart.blogspot.com :) )

Black Cat by Joe Pekar

This week's theme was Marvel's Black Cat. I probably should have updated last friday saying so, but I forgot :). so here she is.

Mary Marvel by Joe Pekar

I wanted to try and avoid a 'sexed-up' version of Mary, and just make a cute version of her.

Battlestar Galactica by Gonzales & Pekar

This is the first ever collaborative piece done by Joe and me. The commission is for Christian, who said he had this idea for a while and wanted to see what we would do with the two generations of Cylons from Battlestar Galactica. Joe and I live too far away from each other to work on a single piece, so we did roughs, and shared them. Working back and forth until we made the two pieces work together. Each Cylon is done in acrylic on 9" x 12" Boards. Thanks Christian!

G.I. Joe by Joe Pekar

ok, so technically the Baroness is with Cobra.

Snake-Eyes managed to sneak himself into the picture though, so it fits the theme...right?

Geisha Girl by Joe Pekar

Decided to go back to watercolors this week, since it's been mostly copic markers for a while now.
Hope you guys like (even though she's not a red head!).

Space Girl by Joe Pekar

I don't think all aliens are mean and dangerous. Some just want a hug! :)

Librarians by Joe Pekar

I warned Gene that I was going to be stretching this week's theme a bit. So here are my 'Librarians' :).

My thought process started out on track...y'know girl with glasses and books around her. Then I figured what's better than one girl reading? Two girls of course! Then I kept thinking on it...what's better than two girls? (3 girls is too much more work, so don't go there :).) Two girls... taking a bath!...while reading! And somehow my brain thought that was an appropriate image for 'Librarian'.

*sigh*

and yes, the one girl is reading Moby Dick... just because I've got the maturity level of a thirteen year old. :)

DC's Death by Joe Pekar

Did this one with a mix of grayscale markers and watercolors. Was going to originally just do it in black and white, but I just can't resist messing around with color. (thankfully she didn't end up as a red head ;))

9"x12" watercolor/copic markers

Starfire - Teen Titans by Joe Pekar

ok, I couldn't resist drawing Starfire...shocking, I know! (I'm not sure if I've ever done a color one of her before...i think I've done a couple black and white drawings though...). I loved the Titans in the 80's, but haven't kept up over the years, so that's why I went old school :)

Red Riding Hood by Joe Pekar

This may not be the right outfit to wear when visiting your dear old grandma in the woods...unless your plan is to give her a heart attack...

Ms. Marvel by Joe Pekar

Here's my Ms. Marvel for this week.

we're back on track this week with Marvel's Phoenix as our theme. Here's mine. (which may or may not have been an unpicked up commission from Megacon ;))
