Weekly Sketch Group #247


Welcome to another Weekly Sketch Group! I'm your temp-agency sketch group moderator while Manji is trying to figure out what recipe the Rock is cooking. Every PJ member can join the sketch group, no invite required! So why don't you sharpen your pencil and join us this week? If you have any ideas for future topics you'd like to see in the sketch group PM me the details and I will do my best to use them in a future installment! All 3 of this weeks topics were requested by contributors to the WSG!

And now on to this weeks topics:

1. Silver age Batman and Robin: The Dynamic Duo from the 1950's and 60's. More fun and much less grim! For bonus points draw Earth-2's Robin!

2. Ben Franklin with super-powers: In the spirit of Abraham Lincoln-Vampire Hunter draw ANY of the Founding Father's (or Mothers ;)!) of the USA embued with legendary powers or abilities!

3. Original Character or Concept:
The Collector
by Tudore:

At the moment of death, the soul is forcibly ejected. This is usually somewhat traumatic. Often, souls try to continue on their past lives, in complete denial of their situation. Some undergo a post-existential crisis: overwhelmed by the experience, they become catatonic, hysteric, or otherwise relieve themselves of their rational faculties. Only a small minority accept their condition, and wait to be collected.

The Collector's decrepit frame can barely support its own weight, let alone the heavy leather robe and dog's head that are necessary to the collection process. The robe allows the Collector to shape shift into persons or animals: to evade detection, or to imitate a familiar form that the target will be drawn to. The dog sniffs out lingering souls; its bite cleanses the soul.

The collection process is very rarely straightforward, but necessary: if souls are not collected and cleansed (stripped of memories, personality, and, as the increase of the population requires, split into fractions), the next generation will simply not be.


And there you have it my fellow sketch group peeps! Keep those pencils sharp and have a great week of drawing!

ruh-roh, Shaggy! I hope I didn't finally break the sketch-group! Manji is gonna come back and beat me with his 3H pencil if nobody else posts ;)!

Here's a silver age Batman and Robin sketch to belatedly kick things off this week:

I know this isn't a repost thread, but if it will save you a beating...besides, how often do you get to hear a left-field topic like Ben Franklin with super-powers and realize you've got one in the bank?

I'll try and get something new in this week as well.

Good stuff this week marooney. I was tempted to put an extremely inappropriate caption to your pic, but I'll refrain.
Here's the collector - I really couldn't get anything good in my head. So this is what you get. :)

Scanner acting up so here's a poor quality photo...I'll scan it later if I can.
Btw, Sharpies sure give a mean headache...I guess this bottle of ink beside me is for more than decoration!

Love the Lucky Strike Batman! Reminds me of the Campaign Velvet beer ad on old "Boston Blackie" radio shows...it's Smooth!!!!!

By the way, more doctors agree that Chesterfield cigarettes are healthy and will not cause any adverse affects on it's smokers!!!
How naive people were back then. Seriously though, the smoking Batman is badass....like Wolverine!

@Ridge: Fantastic Ben Franklin illustration! I saw this one from a ways back, but always like another look when it's that good!
@Hyde: Great looking drawings this week! Glad you didn't caption my Batman and Robin sketch, `cause I could think of a few doozies myself for that one ;)!
@Jcatlett76: Good looking Batman and Robin drawing!
@Loston: Great looking Batman! Dig that shadow on the ground!

Thanks to everyone for contributing this week, so far! I was a little worried I was going to be the only one posting this week, and I'm relieved to see that's not the case :)! Here's a Ben Franklin as Shazam and Tudore's Collector to keep things chugging along this week:

It's been a while since I've posted, or even been to Penciljack. Fun way to get back into drawing.
