Banner hulks out


I don't think I've ever seen a really nice sequence of Banner turning into the Hulk. It's always pretty much just a before and after kind of thing. In my mind it's a horrific, painful event. Kind of like the transformation in An American Werewolf in London. Except with magic, stay-on pants.

I like the sketchiness of this...on a sketchblog it's good!! Looks sore!

Stephen Mooney said...

Heh, that's great. Really nice line, what'd you ink it with?
Reminds me of that brilliant Bisley Lobo art where he turns into a dame with one massive arm and one teeny one.
Also: I too am wearing magic stay-on pants.

Eeeeeeeewwwwwwwww. Nicely done sir.

My pants never stay on. Always ready for action

Will; .....really? That was a terrrrrrible joke.

Stephen Thompson said...

Yeah, tried to avoid doing a finished piece thing this week. It was drawn with a dip pen, a Hunt 101 I think. It's my go-to dip pen, I call him Mr. Pointy.

Will Sliney said...

Im gonna go out there and put in a Thompson Request.

That was waaaaay below Shalvey level my friend.

I dunno Thompson, i don't find this especially 'loose', no more so than the other pieces i mean. The lines are nice and loose alright, but your Swamp Thing was just as loose, just had a lot of solid black.

Nice work Mr. Pointy. You deserve a medal.

Stephen Thompson said...

Oh I didn't mean it was drawn any looser, just that I wasn't adding background elements or composing it to look like a printable illustration. More that it was just a picture you might actually find in my sketchbook.

'Mr. Pointy' is a Buffy reference, right? That better have been a Buffy reference.

this is great, really like it i saw a good hulk transformation cant for the life of me remember where, think it was an oil painting too. it wasn't graphic though, i agree a American werewolf in London would be cool, best transformatin imo is this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBUxW1OhTmg

Stephen Thompson said...

Yep, that's a Buffy ref. I would have been shocked and appalled if you hadn't gotten that.

Fran Johnston said...

Stephen Mooney said...

Great idea and expertly handled, Thombles. Hope you get a shot at implementing the idea in actual Marvel continuity someday.
