Apologies if this throws some of you. But, because I did not like the way Silver Surfer turned out, I have now edited him out of the illustration. I like this version much better. 🤘💙🤙🔥🤣 #marvel #mcu #galactus #comics #comicbooks #ArtYear #bskyart #comicnerd #villain #badguy #legend #illustration

New work in progress! My final illustration for 2025. I thought I'd bring it full circle. I started drawing Marvel comic characters as a kid. It helped me develop. Composition. Perspective. Tone. Line weight. All of it. #Galactus #SilverSurfer #Marvel #Comics #workinprogress #art #wip #ArtYear
