This is the first attempt I've ever made at painting anything, let alone a fucking wall. It's about halfway done. It's not perfect, but I'm happy with it so far.

Check it out:

It's very good..... but I'm more of a fan of your original work. Remember your origins, TK.

I put that fucker on my livingroom wall.

Also, the modified version you show there should be credited to Fool. He did the reverse mohawk.

Well then it seems to me that you should invite Fool to the house for a little painting party. You're kid will be insane in no time!

It does look good TK, much better than I would imagine I could do.

But why superheroes and not something more like this?

DE3 is a superhero!

(and I think I just saw him in a Burger King in Kalamazoo, it's also possible that Tupac was with him)

Looks pretty good so far. Reminds me of Jae Lee artwork.

Thanks!

I put the first layer of color on Wolverine this weekend. I'll start with the shading tonight - hopefully it'll turn out.

Scratch that, Pistons are on tonight. I'll start with the shading tomorrow night.

Dude, that's sweet. Make sure you show us the final pictures. Did you draw that freehand or trace>???

It's freehand, more or less. Taken from comic books. I put a grid on the smaller image, transposed to grid to scale on the wall, and used that to sketch in the images.

Wolverine's about halfway done with coloring.

What are you gonna paint over it when your kid decides that he doesn't like these characters?

I think a huge Tripod logo would be sweet as hell.

Kids love Tripod!

That is awesome as hell. Mad props TK on being a great father.

I wish I had some skill like that.
