Description
Here's four of the design sheets I did for Sideshow, to help the sculpting process along. Just sketches from my sketchbook, nothing fancy.The first one, in the upper left, was done at the Sideshow offices/studios, during a brainstorming session for a bumch of ideas. I produced the rest over the next few months as sculptor Tim Miller went about making three-dimensional fabulosity appear.
I like the doodle of the size comparison between Jennifer Walters and her alter-ego, done mainly to show Tim what I was thinking of when I designed She-Hulks torn street clothes. I think some people draw the Hulk or She-Hulk in torn clothes that look like there's enough fabric to actually cover them, if the outfit wasn't in tatters. I was trying to illustrate to Tim that when Jen tranforms, she goes from something like 5'4" to 6'7". A small women's suit jacket would probably look like a childrens's vest on a gal as big as She-Hulk.
We had some slightly racier rips, tears, and bulges going on, originally. Marvel asked us to tone it down a tad. PRE-DISNEY Marvel.
Truly, we live in an age of wonders.

Since you mentioned it in the comments, I was wondering what you, as a professional, think the long-term effects of the Disney/Marvel merger will mean. Tim Townsend talked about it a bit over on his DA, saying he talked to Quesada and was assured that things were going to stay pretty much the same. Obviously, it's fairly old news, but I'm curious what your thoughts are.

I'm not sure.
I can imagine how it might go, down two or three different paths. But to actually predict? I have no idea. The wholw entertainment industry is in flux; none of the old, reliable rules seem to apply.

I think that's probably the most logical response I've heard thus far. lol

more toned down then the white or black queen seriously ....those were amazing ...and i cant wait to get this one also but tame it down really wow....

Different characters require different aproaches. Both Black & White Queens are dressed like dominatrixes (dominatrices?); She-Hulk is a different breed of cat when it comes to this pinup-style stuff.

This is pretty much The Shit. Well-conceived, gorgeously toned The Shit.

I really like your work on this, and especially the thought you put into the sketch.

That's cool that you put that much thought into it, rather than just being like "Hey, lady in torn clothes."

how come the clothes rip, but not the underwear -.-"
it would be even cooler
π: 0 β©: 1
They're Comic Code Authority approved underwear...stronger than even Captain America's shield...
π: 0 β©: 1
Damn it, who these Authorities thinks they are -.-"
Why not just silk underwear!?
sweet for the girls

...And sadly, the undies'll get even more stronger thanks to Disney.

-.-" too bad, I liked that mouse, now that he's between me and sexy heroines naked, I'll have to choose, and I'm not that fan of rats

They'll probably be Micky Mouse print undies by christmas. (1880's bloomers too.)

The comparison sketch is fabulous, especially when considering what would happen to her clothing. I'm not sure that a fitted skirt would end up that short after transforming, although I can imagine it would be split at the bottom on one side or the other. Nice tip about how a sleeve works, I never knew that for some reason.
Someone else mentioned about the bra being a bit unrealistic as well and while I agree, I can imagine it being more possible that the bra survives than the tailored clothing. Oh, and I'd think buttons on the waistband of her skirt would have been affected somewhat as well.
And now I'm probably overthinking the whole thing and should just say "I love it!"

Yeah. Marvel wouldn't let us do a realistic statue of this situation, which would be a nude.
You can only go as far as the client will let you.
Thanks for the kind words!

Bah, nude statues (or either gender) take all the fun out of imagination, IMO. Having the clothing partially torn like that but still decent is much more interesting.
/wanders off thinking about a few male superheroes with some strategically ripped clothes....

kinda seems like she-hulk is just a giant, sluttier version of her normal self. not that i'd put that past Disney, nor that i'd think comics fans wouldn't enjoy that, but is that really what this character is?

Constantly proving why you're one of the best in the game!!!

Awesome

The wonder, in my opinion, is how you do such realistic work with so little reference. You are a genius.
π: 0 β©: 0
Absolutely wonderful. But seriously, pre-disney Marvel asked you to TONE IT DOWN? My god what's the world coming to?
π: 0 β©: 0
love the comparison shot. so while you were developing this did you determine why she suddenly transformed?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes!
I planned on the litho that accompanies this statue to have the whole story in the background of the piece...
... but in the interim, I used the idea for a Power Girl cover.
Basically, on her way to court, Jennifer Walters sees some 5-alarm disaster that needs her alter-ego's help.
She 'hulks out', ready to help the police and firefighters.... and realizes she forget to put her costume on first.

very nice. really helps the timing of the briefcase dropping

I like them all man. You got a way with her that I've seen few artists have, and you should be proud of it.
Also, skirt-about-to-burst-because-of-butt-edness is awesome, I endorse it.

Good point about the size and and clothing in relation to the Hulk family. Your art just amazes me, you make knees, elbows and knuckles look so convincing..........I like it
π: 0 β©: 0
so.. actually, she goes from.. not so sexy.. to.. really sexy? xD i wish i coud do that! XD

Her expressions are priceless. They bring me joy.

Amazing concepts! It's awesom how you can maintain such consistency with your characterization in all angles. The thought process behind the 'minifying' clothing instead of just tearing it to pieces in an interesting one I hadn't considered. Makes you wonder how much stretch Banner's purple pants really have!

Disney needs to learn that not everybody can be as rip-free as Snow White. She-Hulk needs to fight the man.
And that man is Walt Disney.

That last picture is my fav! Her face is perfect.

Nice work! Poor Jennifer- she goes through more outfits that way. Love the "whoops" expression in the first and second sketches

Great work... Love the expressions you've given her in all of these.

"Tone it down a bit", huh? I kinda want to know exactly what you had that MARVEL of all companies wanted it cut back a little.
π: 0 β©: 0
The bottom two shots are definitely my favorites. Plus, now I know how a sleeve works!

your definition of fancy does not match mine.
Great work! as if i needed to say it.

It's always a joy to work with you Adam! Glad to see these again!

Thanks Adam. I love seeing the "process" these insights and thumbnails are like gold. Thanks again.

Pre-Disney Marvel?
That's a tad disturbing.
Goooooorgeous.

the bra is a bit unreal. no brand is capable of that backsize change, not even wonder woman's bra, the wonderbra.
