STARBORN CAPTURED BY "EVIL GUMBY!"
STARBORN, with all his incredible power, is taken prisoner by "EVIL GUMBY." What is our hero to do? A rough sketch, which I committed to finishing into an intense piece of artwork. I hope I succeeded, but it may need some color and hue adjustment, as well as re-framing with a black border. Notice how Starborn is making the computer next to Evil Gumby smoke? This story's not over, by a long shot.
SOLARIS, LION OF THE STARS! March 1985
SOLARIS, when I first thought of giving him a cat-face! I went back and forth with it, over the years, as evidenced in later drawings of him with a human face. The lion concept took, though this is far from it's best incarnation. Look to a future post for my favorite version.

LEAVITT FAMILY ART: CHRIS FINISHING ONE OF BILL'S OLD SKETCHES
This was originally a sketch done by my older brother Bill, who inspired me to be an artist. I found it years after he quit drawing, and made it into what you see here. The colors came out a little too pink in this scan, compared to the paper version, but I still like it, and hope Bill recognizes it, when he sees this post. It has all the earmarks of his old artwork, along with my flamboyant finishing touches. A TRUE CLASSIC.

MUTE VS. A GIANT ROBOT!
This is an old sketch of a MUTE comic page. I redid the drawing, but decided to watercolor a Xerox copy of the sketch, as an experiment with coloring. This scan is a little brighter than the original, so the color is a little off. If I can correct it on my PC, I'll republish it. This was drawn in the late '80's, probably colored in the early '90's.
