Took a couple tries and still not entirely happy with this, but here's Silver Sable doing a John Woo dive'n'shoot to keep Pouchtober going

I strongly dislike drawing bow and arrow characters, not because they're not cool, but if you don't line everything up just right and have completely straight lines then everything looks all janky and wiggly I do love Kate Bishop tho, great character, Hailee Steinfeld plz call me

Despite learning to draw from Dragonball, I never really got into anime or manga aside from Miyazaki movies, Cowboy Bebop, which kinda hit the sweet spot and transcended anime, and ironically enjoying total garbage like Ninja Scroll Here's Deku from My Hero Academia. Idk anything about him, sorry

Another Image Comics guy who looks like he should be a 1993 X-Men guy, Crossjack, who's actually kind of a parody of 90s Image Comics and X-Men characters? Now that's 4D chess baby

Backlash from Image Comics. Never heard of him. He looks like across between black suit Spidey and Omega Red with a little Gambit in there. I'm not even gonna type out his history and powers here, his wikipedia reads like a 14 year old's D&D character sheet

Spent several days going over this Earth 65 version of Captain America. This is Samantha Wilson (get it?) who was chosen as Cap over Steve and Bucky. I tried not to just do Cap with boobs, still having trouble making her costume distinctive. Maybe going more aviator flight suit? I dunno, I'm tired

Tried to draw Yahya Abdul Mateen as Wonder Man, but he ended up looking like a buff Ice Cube instead. You'd all tell me if that was somehow problematic wouldn't you

Dani Moonstar from the New Mutants/various X-teams, i tried making her less "headband feather native american stereotype," but i couldn't get away from the bow & arrow, which is a dumb trademark because her power is projecting visions of peoples worst fears into their minds. Sorry in advance

And a tiny little Judge Death from Dredd/2000A.D. Weirdly never got into any of the Judge Dredd stuff, he's i guess like a Bizarro Dredd, the world he's from considers life a crime, and the punishment is death. That's pretty cool i guess

That dependable ol fishman, Ape Sapien of the BPRD to keep the Pouchtober list alive Sketchbook's getting crowded, I'm gonna have to grab another one from storage soon. Because almost everything i have is still in storage because I'm never going to find another place of my own again

You know him, you love him, he's deceptively tough to draw, you always let him win, it's Chewbacca Tho i never could figure out if his bandolier thing was actually cargo pouches, or grenades, or clips for his bowcaster. I guess if he's on the list, they must be pouches

I feel bad whenever i come across a character i don't know, the unfortunately named Təsla Strong is the daughter of Tom Strong created by Alan Moore The Strongs are sort of Fantastic Four meets Flash Gordon/Doc Savage, kinda throwbacks to golden/silver age space/time adventurers

If Criterion doesn't make a shirt with John David Washington shouting out Jackie Chan, i will

And we're pulling back onto the Pouchtober turnpike with Guts from Berserk, a character and anime i know nothing about other than armor on a big guy is real hard to draw so i made him crouching so i didn't have to draw most of it. The system works!

Taking a quick detour for @felipeflorescomics.bsky.social insane Simpsons chronological timeline comic project, an heroic task to say the least, since Homer & Marge were teens in the 1970s Here's Homer's head exploding after learning Marge is pregnant with Maggie. We're doomed, doomed i tells ya!

You know him, you fear him, the chonkiest boi, Absolute Batman This basically took a whole pen to shade in, please clap

Did you know Atari put out a comic thru DC in the early 80s? Atari Force was a Star Trek-ish multinational force put together to defend the earth against whatever alien threats. This character, Dart, was basically a Tasha Yar security officer, as far as i can tell

Another cringey 80s gun guy, TV's Peacemaker's own Vigilante. He always reminded me of a ninja on a ski vacation, with his stripey V neck sweater and mask/goggles combo I'm kinda sick of drawing gun dudes, feels like this could all be used as evidence to prove how I'm a dangerous foreigner

A lot of uncomfortably militarized characters in this pouchtober list. Union Jack is basically the british Captain America, but not Captain Britain because that's a different guy. And not quite Captain Carter because that's Peggy Carter. This guy seems to fight vampires a lot tho, so that's cool

And right under Mando is Hobgoblin, the guy who's not Green Goblin, definitely an unrelated goblin guy on a glider who throws pumpkin bombs, and also hates Spider Man

The Mandalorian (and Grogu), very cool character, very aggravating to draw. Lots of little pads and armor segments and buckles and straps, but i guess that's what Pouchtober's all about right

This stupid pouchtober list forced me to draw Kim Possible, are you serious

Kinda didn't wanna do this one but i must obey the list. Wild Dog is basically the DC Comics version of Punisher, just a dude with a lot of guns, but he wears a hockey mask because it was the 80s, and his shirt has a big red laughing cartoon dog instead of a skull, so that's fun?

Happy belated Pouchtober First up: Spiral, right hand(s) to X-Men villain Mojo. The more hands you got, the more cargo pouches you need. Let's get 90s as fuck this month.

Don't think i properly showcased all four FF powers on this Super Skrull, but half-assing everything is how i ended up here. And with that ends the Kirby list. Do i have another belated drawlloween list on deck? Ofc One could even say i have the next list....in the pocket

So many silly gestures for a big dumb tree man, the OG Groot, who actually talked and was just another giant alien monster who wanted to take over the world til he was repurposed for the Guardians. Not super great poses all around, but hey this is free art content from ol head abbot

Another guy i definitely know how to draw, Dr. Hank McCoy, the Beast. Had to go old school Kirby style with him since this is a Kirby list, even though i know everybody loves a big blue furry Beast

The Murderous Misfit, another one and done Kirby villain, seems like a low budget Modok, an evil genius stuck in a little lumpy potato-head torso body. His robot servant Servitek carries him around and I'm sure does the whole Lion King Simba thing sometimes

I get to draw two Demons, hell yeah. This time he's fighting the Phantom of the Sewers, basically a superpowered version of his opera-loving cousin. Phantom only showed up once in The Demon issue 8 in 1973, but somehow also made a cameo in the Justice League cartoon. What a guy

Did Jack Kirby create the GI Joe Cobra by creating Kobra in 1976? This Kobra with a K is pretty similar to Ra's Al-Ghul, a t*rr*rist mastermind with a criminal organization with hired goons, the whole nine. He even revives himself with the Lazarus Pit. Actually he's basically Ra's Al-Ghul. Wtf

Really screwed up the perspective on Hulk's right arm, and also i guess he's wearing a skirt? Or busted thru his pants so to speak while hulking out. I dunno. Dumb angry Kirby monster Hulk > shrek-ass smart Hulk

A good ¼ of the guys Kirby created were all just reskinned He-Mans, just a buncha musclebound dudes with blonde bowl cuts. Thundarr, Capt Victory, probably dozens of others, and Ikaris from the Eternals. The immortal space He-Man

Going with the older Parademons that just looked like henchman dudes rather than the 80s red demon looking ones, or the more hunchback monstrous ones from the Justice League cartoon. I wonder if parademons, or orcs, or stormtroopers got decent health care and food for their service. Probably not

Thundarr the Barbarian, I'd call him a He-Man ripoff if Kirby didn't help design He-Man too. I tried to come up with something way more hunched, sinewy and barbarian-like, and really play up the kind of warrior who's survived years of constant battle, covered in scars and gouges

You know him as the star of Fantastic Four: First Steps, beloved character Red Ghost and his Super-Apes, everybody

Did you know Don Rickles, legendary insult comic, was turned into a comic character in the 60s/70s? Goody Rickels (note the legally distinct spelling) was a character similar in appearance and personality to Mr. Warmth himself, but he occasionally helped out Superman by.....zinging bad guys i guess?

Spent all my energy on the helmet, and none for the rest of the body. Whoops. There's a Galactus tho

Sky Masters. No, that's not the name of the team, that's the guy. Captain Sky Masters of the Space Force. Seemed like there were bits of that "space pulp adventure hero" concept that later made it into Fantastic Four, but they really were just spitballing and seeing what stuck back then

I've always seen this version of Sandman (and his sidekick...sigh...Sandy) kicking around, never knew anything about him, assumed he was just some generic Superman-like. I guess he's like a reverse Freddy Krueger, who fights nightmares? Also yeah, modeled Sandy after Spaceman Spiff

The Black Owl, yet another 30s/40s Batman, Shadow, Phantom type mystery man hero that never really went anywhere. Guess if you're Jack Kirby, or me really, you just gotta keep making stuff and hope something sticks. I really Wolverine'd his costume up with those pronounced cowl ears

That sick weirdo freak Philip Masters, the Puppet Master, playing with his action fig-d'ah i mean psionic puppets

Orion is a deceptively tough character to draw, and it's 97% that stupid helmet and astro harness

Medusa from the Inhumans and her giant pile of prehensile hair

Lex Luthor in his power armor from the Super Powers toys, which then, i believe, was brought into the comics in the 80s? Kinda like how Harley Quinn was only in the Batman animated series, then became so popular they brought her into the comics. Anyway, Kirby knew how to design some armor

Dubbilex the DNAlien, being annoyed by the popular jock bro from that news website who always stops by DNAliens are another weirdo Kirby DC creation, they're actually clones created the Cadmus Project by mixing alien and human DNA. Never a dull moment at Cadmus Labs

And a quick and tiny Fantasticar to keep the list moving. Must not let drawing brain stop 😞

Took a few tries but i wanted to try doing a WW2 Captain America for the next on the Kirby list. Probably don't need to explain who he is, do i

Another New Gods guy with an annoyingly intricate costume. Metron sits in a big chair that travels thru space and time, and he collects knowledge. That's it. Sorta like the Watchers but more Tron and less Charlie Brown toga party

Jack Kirby did a Blue Beetle comic. But not that one, or that other one, nope this one's from the 1930s and he's basically another Shadow, Phantom, pulp hero guy. Dude was willing to draw whatever generic bullshit for that paycheck, whaddya gonna do

Gone, gone, o form of man And rise The Demon, Etrigan This guy i sorta know how to draw, how bout that
