I've been working on some more custom cards based on obscure Joe characters or characters never made into toys and thought I'd post a few work in progress pics and get some feedback.
I'm not sure if I'll make figures of all these, but will definitely give a few a shot. I'm enjoying re-reading all my old Joe comics and trying to match the look and feel of the original ARAH card art. First is Commander Vance Wingfield, the Strike First nutcase from ARAH #4. Based on the classic artwork by Herb Trimpe. Still need to finish coloring and tightening up. I also revamped the original Strike First logo. I'll probably also do cards for Wingfield's staff from the same issue. Next is Sarawak Sally from Special Missions #4. Pretty much a preliminary sketch. I'm not sure if Sally was intended to be of Asian decent (the story takes place along the Malay Peninsula) or if she's supposed to be an "Amazon" type. She's very tall in the comic and the art doesn't really suggest any particular ethnicity. Any thoughts on that or anything else you might like to share would be very helpful. I'm also thinking of adding some tribal tattoos from Borneo to her arms. I have quite a few of these planned, including Joes from the Borovia mission as well as several Borovian baddies like Olga and Ratnikov. I'm also working on some Oktober Guard cards based on the classic Yearbook art by Michael Golden (one of my favorite Joe artists). Thanks for taking a look and for any comments or suggestions you might like to share. |

Here's a quick sketch of Corporal Olga from ARAH #66.
Still need to tighten the pencil up and add her pistol before I go to color. Thanks for taking a look! |
