Awesome Art Picks: Cyclops, Batman, Wonder Woman, and More

The coolest comic book art you won't see in comics.

Each week we gather up the coolest comic book art you won't see in actual comics. The reason you won't is because artists often draw sketches for fun or for commissions and post them on their websites, blogs, and Tumblrs. Some artists even pre-arrange commissions through their sties so be sure to check them out.

Todd Nauck posted some new art on his Tumblr. He's giving away this first Rachel and Nightcrawler pic through a re-tweet contest on Twitter. Not sure when it's over so check it out ASAP. He also did a tribute to Robin Williams.

Rachel by Todd Nauck is fantastic.

As soon as I saw that Marcio Takara Ben Reilly I knew Tony would love it. I also dig that Powergirl by Takara.

Ryan Ottley's style is growing on me, not sure who I would ask him to draw for a commission just yet.

Kick-ass Dr. Octopus costume.

And I can't be the only one who thought it was awesome that Deadpool could slice 2 bats out of the air with one swing!

I usually think Joel Gomez's stuff is too gritty, but I really enjoyed his stuff this week.

Ryan Ottley is a god among men.

And Philip Tan's Wonder Woman is staring into all the dark places in my soul. :)

no & no. Its only a matter of time until BC, like Power Girl, goes back into her real costume that everyone actually wants.

@cobramorph:

Yeah because wearing a costume that doesnt protect her makes so sense. I like Modern and N52 Costume because protect her and also it is fit to dont get in way of her skills.

I think the Batman Rockabilly sketches look better than the actual design of most of the characters. My favorite from this batch is definitely that Batman Beyond image, though. Great coloring and composition.
