Spider-Man Villains: Electro by Justin Zyduck

I've noticed that modern-age artists often think it's a good idea to get rid of Electro's starfish-mask. But like--there's dozens of superheroes and supervillains with electric/lightning bolt motifs on their costumes...but there's only ONE DUDE with a mask like that. Why would you fight it?

Tried to recapture the same face Ditko first drew on the character. The black around the eyes is something I saw in the Spider-Man Manga and always really liked.

Ketchup: Spiderman Villains, Rhino by Josh Lynch

When mark chose this theme a while back I chose the sinister six so that I could draw a bunch of my favorite spiderman villains.  However, Rhino was not in the original 6 line up.  And I love drawing rhino.  So here is rhino.  I also have been doodling other spiderman villains all week over here

Spiderman Villains: Doctor Octopus by Eric Schuster

The only Spiderman comics I read as a kid were in a coloring book, and Doc Ock was the villain.  I don't remember the author or artist (Buscema maybe?)  It culminated in a fight on top of a rocket.  Classic superhero stuff.

Spiderman Villains: Mysterio by Beth Davis

Let me go ahead and answer some of those questions for you:

-Yes, it is 1:30 AM EST
-Yes, this is watercolor
-Yes, I am insane

Now that that's cleared up, here is Mysterio! I am NOT a Spiderman fan. Too much emo drama. But, Mysterio has a neat fishbowl on his head. And a nice, unusual complimentary color scheme that was begging to be painted. Also, I saw he had a trident in a few pictures, and I've never drawn one before.

I am very tired. I think this shows that I was rushing. But, for cranking it out in 2 days, I don't think I can complain. It was a lot of fun.

Spider-Man Villains: Green Goblin by Mike McMahon

And now for something a little different...I'd have to say out of all the Spidey villains, ol' Gobby would have to be my favorite. I started to sketch just a standard drawing of him and it wasn't really working and then out of nowhere this image came to mind with him in this crazy looking armor. This here is the result of that.

Spider-Man Villains: Chameleon by Adam Rosenlund

Had the idea of Chameleon as a paper doll with other Spider-Man supporting characters as the pieces that adorn the doll. I was planning on doing more heads, plus various shirts and pants combos, but time got the better of me, so a few heads is all I could get to.

Spider-Man Villains: Sandman by Mark Hurst

Ok, so this was a rough week for me to A: pick someone I wanted to draw and B: do it in the amount of free time I had while working extra shifts this week. Either way I ended up doing two semi-quick drawings and well this one just seemed to turn out better. I grew up on the animated series and well Spidey was my go to guy for comics for the longest time. Plus depending on who was writing the villains were either super badass or goofy and sometimes both. Plus I love the fact that he has characters like Sandman and Hydroman that really just don't seem to belong in his rogues gallery with guys like Green Goblin and such. Can't wait for rest of this weeks posts.

Spider-man Villains: Sinister Six by Josh Lynch

I couldn't decide who to draw this week so I chose the Sinister Six.  But then I had the dilemma of which lineup of the Sinister Six to do.  So I settled on the original.  I also dripped water and spilled some soy sauce on the original while drawing... oops.  Thank you Photoshop for helping me fix that.

Spider-Man Villains: The Rose by Justin Zyduck

Ah, the Rose. The original Rose was crime boss Richard Fisk, the Kingpin's son, who teamed up with the original Hobgoblin (revealed much later to be business and fashion mogul Roderick Kingsley) in an attempt to take down Fisk the Elder. However, '80s Spider-writer Tom DeFalco supposedly intended Fisk to be the Hobgoblin and Kingsley to be the Rose, which I actually think works better. But oh well.

The Rose is perhaps a lesser light in the grand scheme of the Spider-Man mythos, but I've always loved the design. As he first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man shortly following the debut of the black symbiote costume, the Rose wore a cream-colored suit, a lavender-colored mask...and a pair of enormous Sally Jesse Raphael glasses. The glasses are what makes the design for me. The Rose is a guy who's paying lip service to supervillainy, but doesn't really commit. "I'll put on a mask if it'll make other costumed villains respect me, but I want to wear a nice suit, and I'm not going to put in contacts."

This image is shot directly from pencils. Unlike the other Minions who contribute here, I don't actually consider myself a proper artist, and I'm way out of practice. But I was pretty happy with the way the pencils turned out, so much so that I didn't want to ruin them with my crappy inking.

Spider-Man Villains: The Tarantula by Rich Flood

Sure was groovy drawing the Tarantula -next maybe we should do a Butcher Baker, that dude from God Complex, or a Tal Nevic...
