Description My first Absorbing Man. This one was a lot of fun. Love that cone head of his.

Heh yeah that's true. At times though..Kirby definitely gave him a cone head.

Love this series of images and this one in particular.

Absorbing Man is one of the bad asses in the Marvel Universe but only seems to be as much of a threat as the person writing him seems to make him out to be.

Still, with all that power at his hand you'd think he'd absorb some fashion sense and get some new trousers...

ChristopherStevens In reply to Rudysseus [2009-11-17 10:41:35 +0000 UTC]

Agreed. He's like Juggs in that respect. Could be either unstoppable or an idiot who's only a nuisance. Fear the cone head.

still one of my favorite Marvel villians (he's such a basic thug) and a great power. Your tone-work goes GREAT with his look. I'm lovin' this, man.

Thanks I was really glad to be asked to do him. The big brute is loads of fun to draw and render.

I remember when Wolverine cut of 'sorbin mans arm in the first Secret Wars (hilarious).

Absorbing man leaps over a boulder and exclaims,"C'mere, runt!" Wolverine, without breaking stride, responds,"Outta my way!" cuts of the wrecking ball arm and doesn't even bother to look back...

ChristopherStevens In reply to TonyDennison [2009-11-17 10:43:58 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, he hasn't received much love from Marvel writers over the years. If he took a mind to it, he'd be one of the most dangerous guys around. I guess the lovable loser character is just as effective though.

TonyDennison In reply to ChristopherStevens [2009-11-18 08:34:05 +0000 UTC]

I thought about that myself... why doesn't he just carry around an adamantium sample to absorb? The only time anything interesting was done with him was when he started dating Titania...

Great work, now I gotta jot down absorbing man as a character I want to do very soon. This is very inspiring.

ChristopherStevens In reply to paco850 [2009-11-17 10:44:51 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. He is definitely a fun character to draw. I went a basic route with his powers, but the possibilities are pretty limitless.

Very nice! I like the addition of Thor's hammer and shadow in the foreground.

ChristopherStevens In reply to statman71 [2009-11-17 10:45:39 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. I'm glad you can see that. I think it would've been better if I'd had the Thor shadow a little more to the right so you can see it better.

ahhhh cool addition of the hammer and shadow in the corner! Any thoughts on doing combo pieces like you did before with combatants on 2 separate pieces?

ChristopherStevens In reply to thelearningcurv [2009-11-17 10:46:58 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. You probably won't see to many companion pieces. I limit my commissions to one per person, so most folks probably won't do that. The Hulk/Thing was a special commission for a good friend.

thats a lucky guy.... why only one per person?

ChristopherStevens In reply to thelearningcurv [2009-11-18 15:02:21 +0000 UTC]

It's to give more people a chance at getting on the list. I don't do big lists and if I was accepting more than one from people I'd end up having to turn more people away.
