unfortunately author mike wieringo passed away this weekend at the early age of 44.
for the last 15 years mike wieringo elegantly and regularly drew main stream comic titles such as the flash, the fantastic four, spider-man and superman among others.
mike wieringo co-created the characters in the fantasy tale named tellos.
mike wieringo regularly posted drawings on his blog, the sketches are archived in his site along with other finished works
i strongly recommend viewing his sequential work as well as the single illustrations and cover artwork

http://www.mikewieringo.com/

mike wieringo was an outstanding visual storyteller
his work improved page upon page, not only in itself but also pushing further capacities of the medium as a whole
this medium will greatly notice his absence



koj is a character in tellos
this is the first time i draw koj
i would much rather not have had the motivation i had to draw it...

hot hot coming through!
as promised here's the other one straight from the oven
(another one you may wanna see full size... lots textures for that tiny pic)

here r the pencils, once again, straight up, no ink involved!



i love ink and inking but its still at suuuuuuch a distance from my pencils or even what a do with a random marker or ball-point pen...
oh well! i outta keep at it ... what-cha-gonna-do!


*i just bought "THE GOON" in TPB's, the whole thing, and i gotta say ITS AWESOME!!!
i've been in love with powell ever since i first saw his work back when it started to hit
its right up my alley, but i just never got around buying it!
and what a waste of TIME my life has been since then till NOW!!
its beautiful artwork, hilarious writing and just a topnotch product
100% comic book excellence (i'm serious!)
if you like eisner, wrightson, kirby, wood, EZ, if you basically like comics = GET A HOLD OF IT !!!
ITS A TOTAL MUST!! (you may wanna avoid translations, as much as possible, lot of period chat, street-slang and funny german lingo going on)

62nd
