Spawn fan-art
It's no secret that my favorite superhero is Batman. But in junior high, when my career goals were somewhere between ILM and Image comics, my favorite was definitely Spawn. Todd McFarlane was my first artistic hero, aside from my dad and brother, and McFarlane's version of Spiderman is still my favorite. So it's about time that I put up some fan art. Violator is right up there with Joker and Venom as one of my favorite comic villains. Like Joker, he's got a morbid sense of humor, which makes him fun to read, and like Venom he's got the physical menace to back it up, which makes him fun to draw!addendum 12.15.08
I just found a website with a gallery of all the Spawn covers. I remember seeing this one, in particular, on the shelf. How awesome is that drawing? There's just something about a hero from Hell who refuses to serve his master that's intrinsically badass. Why can't they make a good movie out of this? Mr. McFarlane, if you're reading this, give me a call! I will help you make this film!
Speaking of comics that would make great movies and amazing covers, this is probably the greatest comic cover (and series) of all-time. Someone needs to get Spielberg and Williams on this. I mean honestly, would you rather see Tintin or Superman destroying congress??

haha, wow I'm surprised we've never chatted the topic, but those were my exact aspirations in junior high as well. Great drawing.
Ah, sweet! (They should have let you design the monsters in the Spawn movie, it might have been...good...or something. PS, in answer to your question, I would love to see your Horned Commuter!)
McFarlane's Spiderman changed my entire artistic path in life! Cheers to you Mr. Madison. We would have geeked out in our childhoods for sure.
That's a scary one!
Dude... I was always expecting to see Billy Kincaid sitting in the driver's seat anytime I saw an ice cream truck in my neighborhood. Spawn rocked my shit.
I always thought Violator was awesome, too. Too bad he didn't translate well into the film... actually too bad the film just overall sucked. I just recently realized that John Leguizamo was the clown, though! Weird.
Yeah, Greg Capullo was a huge influence on me. He did those how to draw comics inside of Wizard magazine. i kept all of those pages, and a few Spawn issues. Remember the one about the child abuser? Or Spawn beating up the KKK? Amazing.
