Meet My Newest Character: The Werewolf

I’ve been busy designing new characters for my comic book universe, and today I’m excited to share one of them – a werewolf.

I know, I know: werewolves aren’t exactly an original idea. But to me, what makes a character worth caring about isn’t whether the concept has been done before. It’s their background, their struggles, and where they’re headed. And this one has a story I can’t wait to tell.

He’s a rebel who turned against his good-natured tribe to help outsiders-beings who were never supposed to know of his kind. Now he’s being hunted by werewolves from both sides: the good and the bad. But in the end, he’ll become a hero accepted by all.

For the artwork, I used Procreate for both sketching and coloring. It’s become my go-to tool for bringing characters to life.

 Doctor Strange Fan Art – A 60s Style Tribute

A fan art tribute to Doctor Strange, inspired by his classic 1960s look. Pencil sketch, ink, and Procreate colours. Plus a quick summary of why Stephen Strange is one of my favourite Marvel characters.

I’m a big fan of Doctor Strange’s comic books.

Let me give you a quick summary of who he is.

Doctor Strange’s real name is Stephen Vincent Strange. He was a successful surgeon — but a car crash damaged his hands and ended his career as a medical doctor. He later became the Sorcerer Supreme after seeking a way to heal his hands.

Although he never managed to heal his hands, he is one of the strongest magicians in comics and one of my favourite Marvel characters.

Doctor Strange Fan Art

So I did a Doctor Strange fan art, following the style of how he looked in the 1960s.

It’s a pencil sketch, inked on paper and then scanned and coloured with digital tools in Procreate.

I referenced legendary Steve Ditko’s art of who I am a big fan off.

Which character should I draw next? The one who gets the most mentions wins!

Northstar

Currently I’m focusing on doing a lot of fan art so I can learn and improve my drawing skills with Procreate, it’s an amazing drawing app.

One of the fan art that I’m working on is Alpha Flights Northstar.

I really liked Northstar in X-Factor but annoyed me immensely when I first read his stories in the early Alpha Flight issues, a bit arrogant.

Justice League Unlimited – Why I Read All 4 Issues in One Go

Mark Waid and Dan Mora deliver a thrilling Justice League run. I was so hooked I read all 4 issues back‑to‑back. Here’s why this “unlimited” version of the JLA has me excited for the long haul.

I was surprisingly pleased by Justice League Unlimited — so pleased that I read all 4 issues in one go.

Mark Waid is fleshing out every single page with amazing interactions between each superhero and plot lines that keep you on the edge of your seat. It seems there’s an unlimited number of superheroes who are part of this JLA, and as long as the writing stays this strong, I’m here for the long haul.

And Dan Mora’s art? A feast for the eyes. I’m loving every detail he draws. I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen his art, and I’m thoroughly impressed.

I can’t wait to find out who the villains are working behind the scenes — and who else will be featured in this new unlimited version of the Justice League.

This is a comic I highly suggest you read!
