The Complete Avengers, a trading card set that I've drawn 100 sketch cards for, will be released on November 29th!
I worked on this set months ago, prior to doing the new Lord of the Rings set, but I'm just now able to show off the cards. So I've set up a new Gallery showing all 100 cards, so head on over and check them out!

More Complete Avengers cards from Rittenhouse:
This is obviously an homage/re-creation of the cover to Avengers #4, featuring the return of Captain America:
It is the only multi-card piece I did for the set and I'm not entirely happy with how it came out, but what can I do? It is what it is.
I've received word that all 100 of my Avengers cards have been approved by Marvel Comics, but they're not going to release preview images all at once, opting instead to "build interest" in the set by showing cards in increments up until the release date. I would have liked to have shown more chards by now, but again . . . what can I do?
The cards were inked with Microns and Faber-Castell brush pens. Colored with Prismacolor markers and colored pencils.
It looks like Rittenhouse has posted scans of some of the Avengers cards, so I guess I can at least show the same cards they have on their site:

Here are some photos taken during the Avengers sketch card promo signing! There are a ton of pics from this event, because intrepid reporter Leigh made sure of it (she also got us extra silver markers, so thanks a ton, milady).
I had an awesome time at this signing. It was a ton of fun to sit and sign cards and do speed drawings of Marvel characters with everyone. It made Sunday the best day of the convention for me.
And thanks to the Upper Deck people for making it all possible!
Now, on with the show . . .

Remember these?
When I posted them back in April, I categorized them as "personal sketch cards". Well, that was only partially true. They were drawn on my personal sketch cards. But they were a bit more than that, actually. They were also sample cards . . . six little audition pieces, if you will, for an upcoming trading card set called The Complete Avengers.
This set will be produced by Rittenhouse Archives in assciation with Marvel Comics, and will feature fully inked and colored sketch cards by many comic book artists and illustrators.
Oh . . . and I'm one of them.
Stay tuned, true believers.
