Description Jack Knight con sketch from C2E2 2011; Copic marker, micron pens, white paint pen.

One of my favorite characters ever and one of my favorite con sketches of the year, maybe ever. Done in a smallish sketchbook, maybe 1 1/2 the size of an index card, and the paper was kind of yellow. It actually really worked for the character, and added a nice warm glow to the whole thing when it was finished.

Great pic man,I always found Jack as a very fascinating version of Starman. I for one also miss him being around in the JSA and the current DC universe. Ah well,at least we'll always have Stargirl,she wields his cosmic power staff pretty well.

I dig the yellow paper...and I'll echo what Joel said - I remember when you guys showed me the Starman trades. Completely blew my mind. I was actually looking at purchasing the Starman books recently, and it looks like they have compiled the whole series into six hardcovers, which I thought was pretty cool.

Those hardcovers are BEAUTIFUL. If money were no object, I'd have them all right now.

Yeah, those books aren't cheap, although if you go on amazon they are 30$ each, rather than the 50$ that they are normally...though thats still a lot of cash.

I'm kinda busy with The Walking Dead for now though. You guys introduced me to it, but I've finally been able to go through most of the series. Have you been able to keep up with The Walking Dead?

Oh, yeah. It's one of the only books I've ever read that completely absorbs me. Whenever I get a new volume and sit down to read it, everything just disappears except that story.

Agreed. When I get a new book I can't stop until I've finished it. And for what its worth, I get that when reading the Uniques, too.

Fuck yes jack knight. I still remember the day I picked up those old trades in your living room. Totally blew my mind.

Still one of my all-time favorite series.

I LOVE this sketch!!! So much so, in fact, that you will be doing one for me between Dragon*Con and Mid-Ohio Con! Hope you're up for another crack at Mr. Knight!

I'd love that. He's a great character to draw; so casual but so interesting. So much personality.

That doesn't look anything like Jeff Bridges! >
Seriously, though, good work. Nice shading and coloring.

I was really pleased with how it all came out. And I love Starman too, so I'm always really happy to get a chance to draw him.
