Thor Vs Thor

Some test pages I finished for a publisher some time ago. Hope you enjoy. 

I remember in doing this that I wanted to add some Nordic designs and styles to it. 

Thor is suppossed to be an alien like God of thunder that Nordic people worshiped for a real god, so I figured there had to be some influence of that alien culture on the Nordic people as well.

The First Captain America: Isaiah Bradley

Isaiah Bradley, I loved doing this piece. It sometimes seems that putting a Black man in a position to represent our nation is a forward thinking, non traditional, almost oxymoronic figure in our culture. That was part of the fun doing this charecter. In his story Aficsn Americans are still looked upon as less than human and there were open laws in place to keep people like him from having the same rights and privileges as any white white male, native born American. But, he so proudly wears the colors of his nation because he is embracing the contributions his people have given to it, and feels he can add to that in a major way. Sometimes that's more patriotic than just waving or in this case wearing a flag on your body and fighting Nazi's. Fighting for the ideals of your nation whether they are being fairly given to you or not in hopes that one day they can be.

Here is another process video of me drawing Captain America: Isaiah Bradley.

Isaiah Bradley was the original successful test subject of the Super Soldier program. Before Steve Rogers, the government tested hundreds of African American soldiers, exposing them to harmful testing. Isaiah was the last and only successful test subject. Isaiah had many successful covert missions in WW2 

I hope to do more Black charecters from mainstream comics in hopes of creating a little awareness of these underused charecters 

Enjoy the process video and thank you
