Machine Man Quick Sketch

A quick Cintiq sketch of Aaron Stack (Machine Man) from NextWave. It took about 20 minutes to put together.

Machine Man’s an old Kirby creation but this dour-hearted look with hair and a trench coat is the NextWave version.

If you’ve never read Marvel’s short-lived-but-amazing comic series NextWave then I highly recommend that you do so. Warren Ellis’ relentless assault on the weirdest corners of Marvel Comics lore brought to life by Stuart Immonen’s unbelievably expressive artwork is pure comics joy.

Anyways, I wanted to emulate the look of a quick marker rendering and I think it turned out relatively spiffy.
