Wasp & Ant-Man

If you picked up Thor: TMA #3 this week, these two might look familiar. I fell in love with Wasp and Ant-Man while drawing this issue and I hope this isn't the last I get to do with them in this incarnation. Below are my initial design sketches for these two lovebirds.

There is a very 60's /Emma Peel influence for my design of Janet. The non-costume outfit she wears in the book is derived from my first attempt at her costume (on the left).
The sketches above were my last failed attempt (all other attempts went out with the recycling) for Ant-Man. After looking at it, I decided this costume was a bit too complex. I really wanted both Hank and Janet to have very retro, simple and sleek costumes.
This is the design sheet I actually sent to Roger and Nate. At this point, all I had seen for the book was an outline. Once I got the script, these designs no longer felt appropriate for the story. So I put him in a modified version of his 60's costume, trying to play up the sci-fi feel to it.

Hope you guys are enjoying my take on some of these classic Marvel characters. And a big THANK YOU again to everyone who has been supporting the book by buying it, tweeting about it and talking it up on blogs, forums & podcasts. I appreciate it so much!

Thor: The Mighty Avenger sketches

These have accompanied various interviews about my upcoming book Thor: The Mighty Avenger with Roger Langridge, but I thought I would still post them here in case you missed them. I clearly didn't think these would be put on the Internet when I made them, otherwise I wouldn't have included the cat and fish doodles. And the sound effects. Amongst other things. ;) Hope you enjoy.
