Spawn

I recently completed this Spawn commission piece for a friend and fellow tattoo artist (huge Spawn fan).  For those that may not know, Spawn is a fictional character, an anti-hero that appears in a monthly comic book of the same name published by Image Comics as well as annual compilations, mini-series specials written by guest authors and artists and numerous cross-over story-lines in other comic books. Created by writer/artist Todd McFarlane, the character first appeared in Spawn #1 (May 1992). Spawn was ranked 60th on Wizard magazine's list of the Top 200 Comic Book Characters of All Time, 50th on Empire magazine's list of The 50 Greatest Comic Book Characters and 36th on IGN's 2011 Top 100 Comic Book Heroes.  I believe I have the first 50 or so issues all bagged and boarded and then a bunch of other issues that I picked up throughout the years. Being a fan myself (not as big of a fan as my friend), this was a fun project for me to work on.  Below is the finished piece followed by a few progress shots. Also if you haven't had the chance yet, head on over to the Threadless site and vote for my Heavy Metal magazine cover submission, there is only 3 days left to vote.  Score my image HERE.  Thanks for stopping by, Enjoy !!!!
