Description These are the approved sketch cards I did for Upper Deck's "Marvel Masterpieces." They were a fun challenge. It took me a few hours to get used to drawing at such a small size. I tried to limit myself to a half hour per card, but I spent a little extra time on a few of them. Download is a little bigger than full-view.

If your not familiar with the sketch cards, they are special cards with original art drawn directly on the card. I think you can find about one per box. If you get a card like this, you are getting the actual drawing, not a printed reproduction of the artwork.

Artwork- copyright Marvel and Upper Deck.

So you won't be making a comic with them are you?

That's correct. This was just for the Upper Deck cards; I don't have anything in the works with Marvel.

Fabulous job, man!! Good to know for next time, I suppose, that they don't scale the work down to fit the cards, but expect the artists to fit the work to the card.

Again, congrats on landing this spot, the art looks great!! I'm a little confused on why there seem to be so many of some character and so few of some others, care to enlighten the ignorant few of us amongst the masses?

Personal fave? Cap and Hawkeye right next to each other. Sweet.

Thanks, Liesl. I think they scale down artwork for the printed cards. These ones are just for the bonus cards with the art drawn directly on them.

Who is that in the 9th row on the right with the Phoenix symbol over her eye and Bishop in the background? Is that Rachel?

rplatt In reply to grimagix [2008-04-01 15:42:19 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, Dom. These are just sketch cards so they won't be reproduced; they're basically one-of-a-kind bonus cards. Sorry if you already knew that. I couldn't tell with the wink at the end.

Black Cat and Ms. Marvel are the highlights, IMO.

It's too bad Marvel doesn't own Lady Death. (Then again, it's probably a good thing!) I'd love to see you draw her more often.

Well put! But also Go Ms. Marvel and Go Black Queen! And even though she's not a Marvel character, Go Lady Death!

Mockingbird has always been a favorite of mine. I had fun drawing her design. Thanks, thawk.

Yeah she was a favorite of mine as well. She was like Black Canary without the scream.
