First thing I drew after being back from Comic Con and listening to so many great and funny artists. Had a lot of back and forth after that if I wanted to do this after hearing them speak about pin-ups and professional work and “the craft to tell a story in a single image” and this had very much no real thought or value other than playing with settings and showcasing my own growth.
An update on my very first Max way back to early 2022. I love how it’s almost an updated version but also very much it’s own pin-up as well.
Can’t grasp that tomorrow will be a whole year since I first bought the game. Want to replay it but it feels too soon. No clue if I would make anything different.
Working on something and it ended up with me searching up this thing for research and ended up finding the file and refining it a little
Hope it's possible to see which one is supposted to be the rifined one
The idea started as an interest 3 years ago to an Alex Ross-inspired piece, all these characters posing for the camera in front of a blank background. And it was something I worked on on and off again and rebooted as many times til I learned the lack of motivation was lack of originality. So I redrew the idea. 85 years of history, 85 characters, in one piece. Comic book-events and milestones. The literal birth of the universe till today. Starting of meta with a mix of Celestials and Galactus, present at the birth of the current universe, alongside the World War II-veterans starting the company. Paying respect to all parts of the evolution; Nick Fury’s war-stories, Hellcat’s romantic adventures, Groot’s Sci-Fi-Horror, Fantastic Four’s rebirth of the Superhero-comic. In the centre, we have what I consider the big three of Marvel’s early days. The man out of time, Captain America connecting the past to the modern day. The first family, Fantastic Four showing a new kind of storytelling and the first solo teenage-superhero and poster-boy Spider-Man leading the future. And around them, everything. The wasteness of the Marvel Universe has space for multiple religions, Asgardian, Greece, Jewish and Egyptian. All kinds of superheroes, from the self-made suits of armors, spies and soldiers, to the science-experiments gone wrong and the naturally gifted children of the atom. We have representatives of the mechanical as well as the mystic arts, the Kree-Skrull-wars, the Inhumans, the afterlives.
And references. The tears of an android, Spidey’s strength to fight when there seems to be no chance, Days of Future Past that would forever haunt them thereafter, the Death of Captain Marvel and Night Gwen Stacy Died changing comics forever. The Infinity Gauntlet inspiring the cinematic universe, House of M increasing the mutant-population and lastly Secret Wars bringing a new generation of young heroes forth and centre.

Blue Tit Before the snow came, I could take a minute and go outside to the back of the store where I practice and take a breath and look for the birds that would hide among the shelfs. I miss them already. . #photoshop #photoshopart #digitalart #digitalillustration #birdillustration #bluetit #wildlifeart (på/i Sweden) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmJjghzs8Tn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Just a quick Happy Birthday to comic legend Steve Ditko before taking the train to… Comic Con!
Will take lots of photos that will never see the light of day.
Wish me luck that nothing gets stolen
Ouch… large crowds and noises…
Though I based this on an episode but when I couldn’t find it, I realised the idea probably had roots in fan-fiction… It's been a while since I listened to some good fan-fiction…
I know what cats look like...
