Hitting that sad spiderman walk. He must have the autumn blues.

Skeleton Crew, my original superhero character, walking with his head down with a crowbar in hand. Autumn leaves are flying through the air.

"Can you believe it? I've been to Blackgate, the Asylum, and City. Never seen Batman once, just lucky I guess."

A drawing of batman crouched and ready for a fight, like he's just dropped down from above. At the top is text that reads: IT'S DA FREAKIN' BAT!

Until now I knew him only as that silly skeleton suit.

A page of drawings for Skeleton Crew, a duplicating vigilante. Most of the page are drawings of him in civilian clothing and portraits. There is one drawing of him in his vigilante outfit, a skeleton suit with Converse and a spiked battle-jacket.

There are notes next to the portraits that read:

- PUNK
- KID
- BUZZCUT
- BROKEN NOSE
- PUFFY EYES
- A BRUISE OR TWO

Portrait of The Creature, inspired by the many adaptations, most notably Guillermo del Toro's recent movie and Bernie Wrightson's Illustrations.

A sketch portrait of "The Creature" from Mary Shelly's Frankenstein. He is a bald patchwork man with yellow and grey/blue skin, deep sockets and no nose. He is wearing a black iron collar with a bronze padlock.

The same drawing later in the story. The collar has been removed and long black hair has grown to his shoulders.

My man Skeleton Crew, with a glow-in-the-dark variant!

A drawing of Skeleton Crew (a duplicating superhero that wears a skeleton costume) looking down at you holding a cricket bat. He is stained in blood and it is dripping from his fist and bat.

Demoniac. A four page pulp horror comic. For those that find these captions hard to read, understandably so, there is a comic sans version in the replies.

Page 1.

Panel 1 - A small cabin isolated in the wilderness, it is night. There are two silhouettes of horses in the background, against the trees. CAPTION: The night began with a graverobbing. By morning it was Dixon who was in his own grave, and I was the one who put him there.

Panel 2 - A man writing on a piece of paper by candlelight. Behind him through a window we see the full moon. CAPTION 1: It is true that I sent three rounds through Emmet Dixon's back, my best friend. Yet I do no concede that I am his murderer. CAPTION 2: Of the two of us Dixon was the skeptic, to the point of being faithless. I am quite the opposite, and omnist, others say superstitious.

Panel 3 - Three protective charms and symbols, the evil eye, Christian cross and two carved acorns. CAPTION 1: This skepticism cost Dixon his life.

Panel 4 - Four old books stacked on each other. CAPTION 1: These "legends" and "folk tales" are real damnit!

Panel 5 - A dreamcatcher. CAPTION 1: They're all real!

Panel 6 - Two cowboys on horseback silhouetted by a sunset. CAPTION 1: Despite my many warnings, Dixon was set on this ancient burial mound. He convinced me, as always.

Page 2.

Panel 1 - A wide view of the graverobbers digging up the mound with pickaxes. It is night, behind them are mountains and trees and the full moon. CAPTION 1: For hours we struck pick against dirt and rock, until we hit something that rang out. CAPTION 2: A tomb. CAPTION 3: A tomb which I myself would have no part opening, to which Dixon mockingly chuckled.

Panel 2 - The protagonist standing holding his lantern up. CAPTION 1: I stood at the base whilst he forced the tomb open.

Panel 3 - A shadowed figure climbing out the hole, only white eyes and teeth are visible. CAPTION 1: I never saw exactly what was inside, but I knew something was wrong when Dixon crawled out with this elated look on his face.

Panel 4 - An extreme closeup of Dixon's face with his eyes in shadow and a wide smile. CAPTION 1: A smile wider that I had seen on any face.

Panel 5 - The protagonists hand shakingly hovering over his pistol as Dixon approaches with a pickaxe in hand, still smiling. CAPTION 1: I thought at first that this could be a trick. A cruel joke characteristic of Dixon, so I tried to talk to him but the "joke" persisted. CAPTION 2: My hand hovered over my holster as I backed up.

Panel 6 - Dixon swinging with the pickaxe but missing our protagonist. CAPTION 1: Before I could even clear leather Dixon was pummelling and scratching me with a strength I knew he did not naturally possess. CAPTION 2: It was also then, I got a close look at his eyes.

Panel 7 - A closeup on Dixons featureless red eyes in dark wrinkled sockets.

Rocketman coloured and inked. Might add more later.

A character drawing of a British RAF jetpack pilot. He is wearing a brown leather pilot jacket, over a navy blue flight suit with fur lined black boots and gloves. On his back is a jetpack and on his head is a full faced flight helmet similar to the Rocketeer's.

At the top right is the word "ROCKETMAN" in a bunch of different fonts, some of them using the RAF roundel as the "O". Beneath the logos are six sketches of alternate helmets, some look more like Ironman and some like the Rocketeer.

I really should draw more Star Wars stuff. These aren't that old but it's all I've got for #StarWarsDay 😅

Two comic panels. The first one, on the left is tall and is a portrait of Darth Maul, staring right at you. There are halftones on his left side which is in slight shadow.

The second panel is the same height as the first but a bit wider, this one shows Maul in his entirety, with his first (non-spider) cybernetic legs, lifting and choking a clone trooper with the force. Behind them both is a raging fire.

A drawing of Ralph McQuarrie's pre production concepts for Boba Fett. The dialogue at the top says "If you triple the price... I might let you live.".

Inks and colours. Just inks in replies below.

Three drawings of the same man, Abraham, The Mad Pirate.

He is an older man with a receding hairline, muttonchops and dark face paint covering the top half of his face. His face is wrinkled and in a constant scowl. His coat is navy with yellow trim, his tricorne matches the coat but it also has four peach coloured feathers.

Some portrait practice with my Windrose character. A petty, superstitious man with a bitter rivalry with Edward Teach. Might ink later.

Three pencil sketches of the same man, Abraham, The Mad Pirate.

He is an older man with a receding hairline, muttonchops and dark face paint covering the top half of his face. His face is wrinkled and in a constant scowl. In two of the sketches he is wearing a tricorne with four feathers.

Just set up a Teepublic shop, there's only a few designs on there at the moment, mostly just variations of this skull but here's the link. www.teepublic.com/user/william...

It's #PortfolioDay! It always takes me by surprise! I'm William Goodby, aspiring comic book artist and illustrator. If you'd like a cover, character design or to publish mine and my friend's weird west story DM me or shoot me an email. 📧 william.goodby2000@gmail.com

A cover for a book called "1885 MASSACRE". The looks worn and damaged around the edges, in the centre is a glass plate negative of seven outlaws, all wearing strange masks, in front of church doors. At the bottom it has my friend and I's names, "Harrison Howell" and "William Goodby".

A double page comic spread of a saloon at sunset, the patrons within drinking, playing cards, and playing pool. There is one patron in particular that is focused on, a man alone at the bar. We see that he is the town marshal, judging by his badge. The very last panel is of someone running to the saloon and it is not night time.

Another double page comic spread, continued from the previous one. The man running is at the saloon doors, we it's a deputy who is saying, "Marshal, they [pant] they got Clay, Deputy Clay!". The Marshal puts his drink down and goes out into the night, the other patrons gather around a window to watch.

The next panel takes up most of the second page, it's of a headless man, with a cross where his head should be, riding a doleful horse wearing the riders hat. The severed head is in the riders lap and the townsfolk look on in confusion and terror. A panel of the Marshal's reaction is below that, he whispers to himself, "What the fuck?".

A drawing of a female old west looking character standing next to their horse. The character is adorned with all sorts of trinkets, like gold discs around their hat, a necklace, bracelet and some flowers hanging from their hip. They have a gun belt, spurs suspenders and big scarf and shroud, that their hat sits on top of. In one hand they have their gun and in the other they're holding a cage with a chicken inside.

Their horse is standing behind them, it is white and silver with brown barding with similar gold discs on some of it, and there is a blue bedroll stowed on the back. Between it's eyes is the painted rune Algiz.

The Lavender Knights. "Pick freely." said the custodian, leaning in gently. She did just that, taking, to her senses, the most vibrant and pungent wild flower that decorated the shining knight. The same flower that hung in wreaths from their horse. The same flower of the eponymous Order they served.

A portrait of a knight dressed in full plate with a blue, yellow, and lavender surcoat, torse, and mantling. They are surrounded by a floral border which includes vines, leaves and lavender as well as the fleur-de-lis that also decorates their surcoat.

Some days drawing feels like throwing a pebble, other days it feels like this. Today's a boulder pushing day.

A simple drawing of a silhouetted man pushing a boulder uphill.
