OK, so after working up the courage, I've decided to post a few things. These were all hand drawn with a mouse in MS Paint. No fancy tablet for this boy.(I have since gotten a tablet, and have yet to learn how to use it.) You'll notice the very occassional spray paint effect or texture effect, those were done with the airbrush tool in Paintshop Pro. And in some cases you will see that I blended some elements from different pics together.

Anyway. Enough of that. Here we go. Be kind.

First up, some Watchmen pieces:

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

And one of my all time favorites, Howard Chaykin's American Flagg!

Image

Batman:

Image

Image

Spidey:

Image

And something that I like to think of as an Elseworlds story I would like to see:
Image

So there you have it. One of these day's I'm going to work on learning to use that tablet. Oh, and Photoshop too.

I have nightmares about trying to do things like that with a mouse. If my apartment caught fire, the first thing I'd lunge for is my Wacom tablet.

The fact that you did those with a mouse in MS Paint is damn impressive. Not that I can draw to begin with, but trying to do so with a mouse, damn, that's a nightmare!

I like that Comedian. He looks like a ruffian.

Seriously, great job! Very impressive.

Very impressive. Doesn't look like you need to learn to use a tablet or Photoshop. Very nice.

Did you pick it up off Comics2Film.com? That's where I posted it originally. It was a bit different though.

Just search the gallery by artist. I posted under iamspartachris.

This is the original Rorschach piece I posted a few years back. This the one you were talking about Hugh?
