I’ve been working on my version of the Japanese Double Dragon 2 flyer between jobs recently. Here’s the final version.
Here’s some fanart for Jack Teagle and his book Fight. I’ve known Jack through our sporadic meetings (usually involving 24hr comics) and he’s the best! It’s always a treat to see him draw. Fight is about a young wrestler who, since he happens to look like/be a devil, is forced to always be the villian of the show (as much as he hates it). While I used to really be into american wrestling as a kid, Fight instead reminds me of always walking past a dilapidated wrestling ring/training centre on my way to town when I was really young. I think the golden age of wrestling in England died out way before I was around, so I only ever really saw posters for crappy looking nights with old out of shape wrestlers. Fight isn’t like that, but it’s filled with a lot of nostalgia.
This piece started out as a sketch months ago on the train home from seeing Jack and Donya and many other amazing people. Using reference would’ve definitely helped fix his crossed legs, and if I had more time/space on the piece (it’s made to print on A4 paper), I would’ve loved to add more text! Between Fight and my love for Love and Rockets, I might have to give a wrestling story a go sometime…
Marcel is the best! He created this piece of fanart based on my Fight comics!
He’s an incredible draftsman, and just recently joined Tumblr, so check him out!
