"Spider-Man : Sample Pages"

Putting in the effort to build up my portfolio of sequential pages, particularly, with ink. With Spidey being arguably my favorite superhero to draw (when I am not hyper focused on Batman), it made sense to do a small web comic featuring the web-head.

A little get-together with friends.

Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays!

@theReheil_Deal Thanks Bryan! And lol, that's exactly my approach in drawing most of these! Going for a very Nat Geo aesthetic. 🤣

Drawing Pokémon never fails to bring me some comfort.

Here is a Gyarados and Charizard Sketch from the beginning of the month I forgot to upload.

"Daddy's Home!"

The third piece of my illustration series "The Goosemans". I am unsure how many more I will do in this series, but I am having a blast drawing the characters in this strange, vintage setting.

@DougaWood1 Thanks Doug! Its good to draw some weird shit from time to time. 😂

"The Girls Played Jacks While Mom And Dad Argued In The Kitchen" - (2024)

The second piece of my illustration series "The Goosemans".

Sauropods and Spinosaurids are possibly the coolest animals of all time, so I shouldn't have to explain why I wanted to sketch them.

"Nostalgia For Summer" - (2024)

The first piece in a small series of illustrations I've started titled "The Goosemans".

[Michael Pickard (Commissions Open) @mpickardart]

You'd think a three page comic would have been enough to get Spider-Man out of my system.

You'd think...

Anyway, I sketched up a doodle of arguably the coolest costume in all of comics.

[Michael Pickard (Commissions Open) @mpickardart]

Screw fancy web-shooters and gadgets. Give Spider-Man a household item and let him rip.

[Michael Pickard (Commissions Open) @mpickardart]

Scorpion is about to get ROCKED by Spider-Man. Just wait and see...

"Wash Me"

A little one-page Sci-Fi comic I whipped up to experiment with new tools, and to implement some of the incredibly insightful critiques of my work I received at NYCC.

[Michael Pickard (Commissions Open) @mpickardart]

Sometimes you have to draw the most stupid thing you can think of.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Celebrating the spooky day with some colors over my Gengar Evolution and Ghost Type Pokémon piece from earlier this month.

[Michael Pickard (Commissions Open) @mpickardart]

Through a long an arduous work week, a spark of something emerged from the slop swishing in my skull that was formerly my brain...

Doctor Octopus... but its Wayne Knight...

For more brain rot: Jerry X Spider-Man, George X Rhino, Kramer X Green Goblin, Elaine X Black Cat.

@BenHumeniuk Damnnnn Ben!

[Michael Pickard (Commissions Open) @mpickardart]

@theReheil_Deal I was actually going for a Red-Tailed Hawk vibe, but I absolutely see the leg comparison with the Secretary Bird!

"The other Magikarp watched in horror as the looming Pidgeot descended upon its prey."

More Pokémon shenanigans on the drawing board, because these have been way too much fun.

[Michael Pickard (Commissions Open) @mpickardart]

If you catch me walking around NYCC today, stop me and ask me for a sticker! I'll be handing them out throughout the day to the random passersby and to anyone with some dope costumes.
