Eleanor Cover

Antique "Big Book of Twout" . . .

Okay, so it's not a real antique,

just a goofy world I created just for fun.

There are some parallels to the Twout-a-verse and Maxx's world:

Maxx = Twout

Sara = Dana

Gone = Nola

Julie = Mitsi

Tried to keep them separate, but they keep hopelessly blurring together,  much like Friends of Maxx characters do.

Mom painting

'Dana's House' sketch

Sandman 4 Spread

. . . might be hard to see all these demons on a smart phone,

but figured it was worth a try.

Eleanor 3 Cover

. . . the eyes have it.

Maxx & Vines

1900s - Trout Newspaper Splash, Negative & Penciled Version

Bats & Maxx in the Outback . . .

Subdued House Plant

Un-printed Maxx 1 Cover

Here's the original Cover to Maxx's first issue.   It actually has more rock detail and brushwork than the one I used, but for some reason I can't remember why  . . I just didn't like it.

So I drew another one instead, here it is below.

Which one do you like better?

Staying Indoors

Maxx & Julie Cover 2

One  of my faves of the later Maxx Covers,

and this from a guy who hates most of his own work. 

Ice Egret

MCP 101, . . . That Shape Again

Original version of 'that shape',

and the rough pencil sketch of it too, just for fun.

Maxx 1, Abstracts, Pink Trout,

.  . . that same shape that I keep drawing.

Maxx & the whole gang.

Nola: Mom's Eye

Sorry, I have to post something *else* . . .

with little bit of hope in it,

especially right now.

Joker vs. Maxx

Eleanor's back.

. . . from 'Eleanor and the Egret'  

Maxx: Exploding Fairies - Unpublished Page

I can't remember why I never used this in the book.

It seems little rushed and sloppy, even by my standards.

But  I figured it was worth a post. 

Maxx, again.

I've need to add a *lot* more 'phone cords' when I draw Maxx.

Batman & Scratch

MCP 104

Logan and Kurt 

Maxx gets Stuck

Between fighting Outback creatures Maxx enjoys shoving his claw into the ground. 

A Sinister Looking Twout

Batmaxx Tug-a-War

Thoughts

I like the unfinished peacefulness of this one.
