the thing

this is a very late comictwart.

when i think of the Thing the first thing that pops into mind were the days when he would don his extra large overcoat and stingy brim fedora. ben grimm is one of my all time favourite characters (which is funny though, cause i’ve never liked the fantastic four), however my first exposure to him wasn’t through comics but the cartoon show from the late 70s and early 80s…

with my schedule of late i’ve fallen to the shadows on comictwarts. but i hope to catch up… there have been so many great selections of characters that i am annoyed that i haven’t had time to finish my contributions. i have here a half pencilled bellit, clara, archie and friends… and hellboy. hopefully in the coming weeks i can finish most of them and get back to contributing on a regular basis.

{edit} there seems to be a deluge of people inking my thing sketch or colouring the pinup. i’ll post them all when i can… but here are the first few: steven finch, skottie young, francesco francavilla.

    I love it! This is Ben Grimm exactly as I alway picture him in my head. The light post is cool too :) I’m glad you finished this.
