Artist's Comments

OK, let's call this Rough Sunday. I'm going to post a few peices that are not as polished as my regular work; they fall somewhere in between finished work and con sketches.

Catwoman 79. This is about as rough as it gets. Because of scheduling problems (meaning: I was behind on everything), I didn't have time to do this cover. So, I colored my prelim and handed it in. Thinking it intentional, everyone at DC liked my 'rougher approach'. Yikes.

This prelim was done on animation paper with Pitt pens, and then scanned and colored in Photoshop (where all the lettering was slapped together).

I really wanted to go all-out on this one, but wasn't able to. Looking at it now, it does have a nice rough quality that my admittedly anal work us missing. Maybe someday I'll grow some balls and do more work like this.

I loved the concept they let me go for on this. Selina returns to Gotham from a long adventure abroad (i.e. outer space) and is overjoyed to be home, in a "THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT!" musical number kind of way. But since she's back in Gotham City, the worst city in the world, it's chock full of your daily FDA dose of irony.

This is pretty gorgeous. How do you make such fluid, natural looking poses? All of my silly drawings look so stiff.

I love how you handled the title and issue text with this one. I kind of like the rough style too.. it's funny how misunderstandings can lead to success sometimes. =p

It's worse when you hand in a sketch and they think it's supposed to be a final, and say "well this is just terrible...look how rough this looks..."

I love the 60's vibe I get off of this. Incredible work Mr. Hughes, someday I hope to have at least half of the talent you have!

"not as polished as my regular work" well then Mr. Hughes I would love to see you rush through work more often. I really dig the looser feel to this piece.
