I’ve always been a huge fan of Wolverine and have periodically sketched or drawn the character over the years, either in private commissions or just for my myself. I’m sharing a collection of these efforts, which span from 1993 to present. The first image is a Frank Miller sketch that I inked and colored a couple of years ago, with the intent of keeping it a bit loose and sketchy. The last image is another Frank Miller piece, based on his controversial cover art from last year. I tried to give it the Lynn Varley color treatment, similar to what she did with Dark Knight Returns and her cover work on the Sin City books.
I cannot for the life of me find the name of the original colorist for this cover though. No offense intended to whoever colored the published cover. I have no idea what Marvel’s mandate may have been for the colorist or if there were other circumstances at play. I just saw what I saw and wanted to take a crack at it. I won’t post the original coloring here, but you can easily google it to see what Marvel ended up publishing.
