IF: BURNING by JNESS


It seems like more and more these days the response to doing the things that I enjoy is, "Sometimes life gets in the way." So I have had to change my strategies to get these goals accomplished. This week I am working on my take on BURNING for Illustration Friday. Last week I posted random art for AFTERWARDS. I was not pleased because the real piece I wanted to post was the one.

I am running behind with BURNING so rather than post randomly or miss the boat I decided to post the work in progress. Once it's complete I will add it to this post. Hopefully, I get some feedback. This illustration/ fan art features a Marvel Comics and DC Comics mash up group I call The Champions (yes, I know it's taken- to all my comic book aficionados) this group is all in the name of fun. The group I would love to see formed featuring Batman, Robin, Power Man, Iron Fist, Puck (from Alpha Flight) Batgirl, and The Thing (of the Fantastic Four).

In this scene they are up against a "Burning" fire wielding plus-sized enemy (with no name - lol). I know - I sound like a twelve year old, but that's whatI love about art. Creating what you want, the way you want. That's what makes it fun. This piece also appears in my VIEW FROM UP HERE sketchbook.

  1. Oh dear, she's the enemy? When I first saw the illo, I imagined *myself* as her, come to save her comrades in the nick of time. lol

  2. That is a good way of looking at it. I guess I decided to make the Big Girl the bad guy for a change. That's a first for my site.
