Venom

Before I retired from doing commissions, here's one i did of Venom. 

Big Maxx & Julie . . .

. . stuck together in the Outback . .

. . with a bunch of tiny little Iszs. 

Sketch: Julie, on Maxx's back again . . .

Zero-Girl

Amy takes the advice of a Jungian Sal Bug. 

Maxx . . . without a head.

Well, the truth is, he *has* a head,

I just haven't inked it yet.

Nola - Gone

Brief page in Batman-Maxx where Mr. Gone finally meets Nola. These two come from a totally different universes:

Maxx universe vs. Twout-a-verse.  

Orange & Green Dress

. . . yet another panel

. .  from yet another page

of the Nola project.

Batman-Maxx Villians & Nola Panels

FYI, There may be power outages in my area, so I may miss a few days posts.

But no worries, I'll pop back up eventually.

Wolvie stuff

Last year I took a break from Bat-Maxx and did a short Wolverine story for Marvel,

First time I've drawn Wolvie in about 20 years.

Here's the splash page for it.

Mostly finished Maxx . . .

. . Bats is pretty much done though. 

Couple of 'Nola' ones . . .

Two different panels with Nola's Dad. 

Friendly Face

Progress . . . !!!

Okay ~ now that I've finished Batmaxx 4, it's onto Batmaxx issue 5 to finish a.s.a.p.  Both still need to be scripted and colored, but I'm finally feeling some traction on this sucker. 

Possible Nola Cover ... ?

An old favorite.

Though it's kinda simple, still haven't decided if this one's gonna be the cover. 

Rarely Seen Outback Critter Under A Tree

Lurking under the Bridge

Zero-Girl Splash

Maxx Outback: The Dicant, then and now.

The 'Dicant' is a rubbery plant like tiger-y looking critter which Maxx fights a lot.  Below is how I drew the Dicant in the original series,

. . and here's how I drew him in Batman Maxx 4.

Not choosing one over the other, just interesting to compare how he's changed over the years.

( ...and yes, in case your wondering, I know it's crazy-late, but I am *finally* finishing Batman-Maxx 4 & 5 too, btw. )

Maxx 32 Splash

Although it's not a drawing of the Maxx, I figure this painted Casino (which Glorie works at) was worth throwing up on the blog.  

Nola, Colored Panel

. . . from one of the sketchbooks. 

Another Day . . .

. . same Maxx, same Outback,

different Isz. 

Scary Fat Primitive Lines

Sometimes it's good idea to draw what scares you. 

Maxx Quote: "I'm so tired . . . . "

Maxx attempts to lift a large slab of rock,

while an Outback Isz calmly watches on. 

Over-Worked

Maxx vs. Dicant

. . . sometimes when they get all tangled up . .

. . it's hard to see the difference between the Maxx . . .

. . . and the rubbery plant-like Outback critter called the Dicant. 

Buff with Pipe

. . .  also sporting a stylish yellow "Uncle Artie" cap. 

Julie & Maxx Sketch

Dredd

Maxx . . .

. . the Hare.

aka: Julie's spirit animal.

Disturbing Face

For some reason this guy's face kinda freaks me out.

Though it's technically fine, I'm not actually sure why I drew it.

But I needed some variety between all these Maxx posts, so here we are.
