DC’s Vertigo imprint was the home to some of the most innovative comics of all time and this week the challenge is to create something with a character from its storied history.
If you are not familiar with Vertigo, some of the series to choose from are:
Terms & Conditions: I understand that by participating in the DC Universe Community Forums that I am agreeing to the Fan Art Guidelines , which include not creating new storylines or characters, not soliciting for compensation or payment, and will follow the standards of the Community Guidelines .
I probably picked a good time to take a vacation from DCFAC, I think the only Vertigo comic I’ve read is Dini’s Dark Night: A True Batman story. What am I gonna do, draw Paul Dini?
EDIT: I take that back, I’ve read some Sandman Mystery Theater. Eh maybe I’ll draw Wesley Dodds.
Just when I think I’m out…
Nah, I’m adamant about taking a break, I just want you to know I’m here in spirit.
Ah, good one. I need a Swamp Thing redemption. My last attempt was horrendously bad. I hope I can make time for this challenge. I am starting Starman tonight for the monthly request challenge.
I went new school rather than classic Vertigo. (The end of Shelly Bond era.) Let’s see if anyone else has actually read this… Hoping to get them assembled in to one drawing and at least inked this weekend…
(Drawing characters that have only been done by one artist is very difficult when that artist has such a distinctive style!)
These are really well done, but I must not have read this one. They give me a kind of Dave Gibbons vibe along with the Mad Hatter looks. Hmmmm, I may need some hints…
