Marvel VS DC the Calendar Edition

I was in the book store browsing 2011 calendars when I noticed that both Marvel and DC have "Women of" calendars.  I quickly compared the two and I think you will agree that Marvel is the clear winner here. 

The marvel calendar has lots of interesting art and great poses.  The graphic actually goes below the fold to allow the graphic to be larger.

The DC calendar is basically just using a bust shot, the art while not bad, is kind of boring with patterned backgrounds that don't really add anything.  The image continues through a transparent  calendar. 

Neither is bad, but Marvel clearly wins this battle.  If I could only buy one of the too, I would make mine Marvel. 

Ashli's turn-the drawings of a nine year old

My nine year old has had much more drawing practice and needs to start working on refining her ability.  Unfortunately she doesn't listen to me.  I keep trying to get her to sketch out with circles and lines the way that I never did when I was her age.  Now I realize how helpful that is and how much easier it makes the process, but does she listen.  Maybe she will one day.  She is getting better, but she would improve much quicker if she wasn't just like me.  She created her own superhero and drew a Hamtaro. 

Danielle Soloud- awesome artist

Just thought I would point everyone to an exceptional artist that I just randomly found on blogger.  She does commision work and has an impressive body of work on display at her site. 

Her name is Danielle Soloud and it looks like she does the con circuit, so check her schedule and find her when she is near you.  I posted some examples of her work to the left.  For anyone that doesn't know, they are Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Harley Quinn.
