Entry 263: Avengers #44 and New Avengers #33 Covers

This is my connecting cover image for Avengers #44 and New Avengers #33.

Jonathan Hickman is bringing both these series to an end in these issues and I was asked back to do the final covers. Having started Hickman's Avengers off with my connecting covers for issues 1,2,&3, and having drawn covers for both these series' I found the idea of returning for the last covers to be an appealing idea. Of course, I told them that we had to get Justin Ponsor back for the colors, to really give it that bookend quality.

At first the direction for this cover was really vague. All I knew was that it was these two dudes fighting with the worlds colliding and Captain Universe in the background.

Here's my first take at the idea. This initial image was not right and I knew it from the beginning, but sometimes you have to get the wrong idea out to see what's wrong with it.

AAAAAAANNNNNDDDD

Here is the whole thing together. The Full 180°

Entry 182: Comic Con' France

That is a picture of me eating snails, which could only mean one thing. I'm going to tell you all about Comic Con' France!

It's actually been a few weeks now since my trip to Paris and I'm sure everyone on the entire Internet has been waiting with bated breath to know how my trip went? Well un-bate your breathes because it's time for my full Comic Con' France report, complete with photos and my commissions! Plus I have an extra bit of something as a bonus. So strap on your strap-on's and lets get this party started.

Entry 174: AVENGERS #8 Notes

Avengers #8 is out. I'm sure you all have gotten it and are in the middle of doing your fan recreations of the issue from cover to cover, redrawing everything and rewriting every word as faithfully as possible so as to fully express your love for it...

Isn't that what you guys do with comics that you like?    No?   Well that's what I do.

You guys know about that "Bartkira" project where a bunch of artists are redrawing all of Akira with Simpsons characters? Well, coincidentally, a few years ago I drew "Cailloumu", my recreation of Domu with characters from the Canadian kids show, Caillou. CRAZY Coincidence right?.. (If only you guys knew how lame that would be.)

If you can't tell by the image above, in this post I'm talking about Starbrand! Also I'll be talking a little bit about working with Justin Ponsor.

So get ready and get set...

Entry 166: Avengers Covers 8,9,10

AVENGERS COVER #9

That's what you are looking at there. Which can mean only one thing-- That's right, it's me Dustin Weaver's blog here again with another BLOG ENTRY! And once again, I've got 3 covers all at once to share with you.

So lets waste no time, and I mean NO time. Let's not spend a split second more than what is necessary and get straight to the art. I mean your time is valuable. My time is valuable. TIME IS MONEY! We'd be stupid idiots to just let it go to waste. I mean we might as well sit around lighting our cigars with one hundred dollar bills. So seriously, everyone, when I say we shouldn't waste any time then I mean we shouldn't waste any time.

Entry 163: Avengers #7

Hi. It's me, Dustin Weaver.

I hope you, the readers of this blog, are having a happy holiday season. As I write this, we're just a few days from it being New Years. So HAPPY NEW YEAR!

You guys got Avengers #1 and #2 didn't you?-- DIDN'T YOU? If you did, then great! You've done well. If you haven't, well how are you going to know what's going on when it gets to issue 7, the first issue drawn by me... You are planning on getting my issues right? Issues 7-9? If you're not, WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING HERE? This blog is only for people who buy my comics. If you have no intention to buy comics that I draw kindly stop reading and leave. Go and don't let the "back" button hit you on the way out. --All right. Now that they are gone-- Guys, here's a preview of issue 7. 

 

 That cover IS a reference to this old ad for Marvel's New Universe back in 1986.

Entry 159: Avengers Covers 1,2,3

Welcome, everyone, to another blog entry by me, Dustin Weaver.

If you've looked me up because you saw my Avengers covers and thought, "Who's this jerk?" Well, that jerk is me. Hi. If you thought, "There's only room for one Dustin in comics and that is Dustin Nguyen!" Well, you're half right; there IS only room for one... I'm coming for you Nguyen... And if this post has google-alerted Dustin Nguyen, then hi, Dustin. See my last post for an explanation.

And that's what I'm talking about in this post. Dustin Nguyen. NO! AVENGERS COVERS!

Entry 157: THE AVENGERS

This just hit the internet!

I hope people like them.

The colors are by the super good Justin Ponsor.

More later:)

Entry 110: ECCC commissions

Emerald City is now over. I survived. It was rough, but I made it through. And it's back to real work now.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by and said hi. I signed a lot of Shield books and a lot of people had some really great things to say about the book. I really appreciated all the kind words.

I'm sorry to anyone who came up and wanted a sketch or a commission that couldn't get one because I was booked up. That's the first time that's happened to me. This was the first show where I actually had to make a real commission list. In fact, I over booked myself and I now have to get a few of those commissions done at home. I'm really sorry to you guys who have to wait a little longer.

Anyway, enough jibber jabber, to the art.
