Rittenhouse Archives Artist Of The Day

Warren Martineck — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 18:30:39 +0000

Rittenhouse Archives is releasing Marvel: Greatest Heroes in March and will contain 1 full color Avengers based Sketch card in each and every box. And, if You haven't seen it by now, Rittenhouse is featuring the Sketchcard samples of said card set by running a very cool Sketch Card Artist Of the Day on it's Facebook page. I would highly recommend taking a visit to see some very impressive artwork. They are featuring 1 or 2 artists 9-card samples every day from now until the set is released. From what I've seen, It's looking to be one of the best looking sets yet.

... and yes, this is the set I'm doing a few Sketches for. More on that / those later.

Eye Candy Of Marvel 70th Artist Proofs.

Warren Martineck — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:22:53 +0000

Just thought I would take a few minutes and chime in with something for you to look at. Here are some of the Artist Proofs I did over the past year or 2 for the Marvel 70th card set. (Easy to recognize with the dates in the upper left hand corner) It's just a little something to hold you over until I can start posting some of the goings on in and outside the studio. And I thought this might wet your appitite for the upcoming Marvel: Greatest Heroes set.

Enjoy

Casual Friday #28 Updated (Cable)

Warren Martineck — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:21:59 +0000

I just thought, since I had a few minutes before I hit the sack, (not sure about the rest of the world, but in these parts that means going to bed) that I would post the updated Cable Piece that I inked for a commission a little while ago.

This will be the closest thing I can get to doing any actual Casual Fridays for awhile as my schedule is overwhelmingly heavy right now. I've spent so much time at my desk, I'm caught up on many of my backlogged podcasts, videos, audiobooks, and have ventured into Grooveshark and Itunes radio. (Feeling Floyd in Classic Rock is damn cool)

So here is the Inked Version of the Cable piece I posted last month.

Happy New Year!

Warren Martineck — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 19:29:28 +0000

Good bye 2011. Good ridence to all the jobs, all the work overloading my schedule, and all the behind-the-scenes stuff that I haven't been able to talk about and welcome 2012...! when I'll finally be able to start sharing info, showing some eye candy, and having new exciting stuff finally released for your enjoyment.

Yes, it's just been one of those years. I really do need to learn the fine art of posting info in a blog without actually revealing anything... at lesast when I'm not supposed to. (That make sense?)

Looking forward to this year.

Later

Soon

Casual Friday #29

Warren Martineck — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 14:22:37 +0000

If your somewhere in the world that doesn't get the news that happens in my region, the New England area of the States got blasted with an extremely early Winter storm. Due to the fact that most of the leaves were still in many overgrown trees long over due for trimming and upkeep, in which you'd think the power company would have learned from the last storm that came through, many many branches and trees came down from the weight on the limbs and took many many power lines and utility wires along with them. Most of our state has been without power for a week and some areas are still without.

Although I got my power back, and eventually had my internet/cable line replaced the other day, it was a long week in which I wasn't able to get much work done. The daylight hours were spent outside clearing trees and brush from around the house and then try to get some drawing done by flashlight at night. ...and not very successfully. But with a clip board in hand, myself wrapped in a big puffy blanket, and sitting on the couch in front of the windows, I did this quick Casual Friday piece of an Orc. It was drawn on Friday but I haven't been able to post it until now.

I remebered drawing some Orcs back in the early 90's and not really liking them and thought I'd like to relax for 20 minutes and see what I could do now. I've posted an old photo copy of one of those old Orcs. I believe it was in color and probably will ink and color up this new Orc when I get the chance. IF I get the chance that is. I've been adding more and more work lately and with other domestic projects on the near horizon, I may be finding less and less time to do extra stuff. Unfortunately that may include commissions. Sorry to those hoping to get something anytime soon, but we'll see.

So here they are. The old Orc from 91', and the new Orc from the other day. This one isn't a soldier, he's more of the carrier / pack mule / laborer type of Orc.

I call him Ferno.

Casual Friday #28

Warren Martineck — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 18:34:32 +0000

Working Title: "Friday, Commission, two birds and a stone"

Here's a Casual Friday piece I was able to get to as I'm using the pencilled phase of a commission I promised awhile back. It's finished state will be inked and I'll post that later but thought it would be a good idea to get something up on the blog. Yes, I know, it's been awhile. I've been pretty busy with many different things. Not the least of which is a Pencilling/Inking gig on a comic for Mansion Comics. (Which I'm having a blast doing)

I hope to be able to update with news a bit more as time goes by about what else I have up my sleeves, but for now, testosterone commeth in the form of a picture...

By Request, Another New Sketch Card Gallery (JLA)

Warren Martineck — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 11:19:28 +0000

Im getting there, slowely but surely. I will get all the sketch card galleries up eventually. The requests do seem to get me more motivated though, so keep them coming in and I will get to tham as soon as I can. I wish it was a little easier, what with all the resizing, copying, pasting & saving, it does take awhile. But here it is, the next set up... JLA Archives from DC Comics / Rittenhouse (2009).

Enjoy

Quicky Sketch Card Galleries Posting, Thunderbirds

Warren Martineck — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 13:13:50 +0000

Here's a quick post about on adding the Thunderbirds images to my Sketch Card Galleries section. Some of the scans were direct from the cards in my studio as I was pretty happy with the way the painted cards came out and wanted a good record. Unfortunately, this was still before I started scanning all my cards to keep as a record so these Thunderbird sketches are incomplete but shows a pretty good representation on each design.

I still have many more Sets to post in the Galleries section and I'm hoping to trickle them in from time to time.
