LATE MAY THE 4TH AND REVENGE OF THE 5TH!!
Been away to Comic Con so was unable to post but back now!
It was so fun! Got a selfie with Mark Waid and he signed my Kingdom Come! It was amazing!
And got an X-Men poster SIGNED by R. B. Silva! As well as some classics to my bookshelf like “Whatever happened to the Man of Tomorrow?” and “Demon in a Bottle”
10/10 weekend!
So! Last thing I felt I needed to get done before New Year! This Year’s Daredevil-remake!
So, compared with last year’s, I don’t think my art-skills or style has developed that much, maybe changed or refined the vibe somehow. Like how Daredevil’s face looks slimmer and fitter than last year’s, he looks more muscular. Less halloween-costume, more superhero-suit, looking at how Christopher Reeve’s suit sat on him instead of one of my random shirts in the mirror. So I guess the development 2023-2024 was how I could make it more character-fitting and interesting and references.
So, yellow street lights have changed to the red/blue police-lamps, random rooftop has changed to what could be the top of a church, city background has become bigger, trying to showcase how much area this one character has influence and responsibility over but blending in with the noise of the background.
Random lighted windows now have the shape of braille, hinting at his disability and what makes the character stick out, the texts referring to biblical verses and comic quotes if you want to take the time and translate.
The blue sky is now black with a hint of red, connecting more to his color-scheme and I wanted to think more from his perspective of the world. The heartbeats are less of a game-hub and more of just part of the input of the world around him.
Wanted the billy-clubs a little bit more fluid and over-the-top but maybe too much over the top.
So more probably changed than stayed but if I got the basic idea of Daredevil on top of the roof, this would have come up in my head now instead of what I did in 2021.
So… curious on how I will retake this piece 2025.
King T’Challa . Haven’t thought mush about seeing Wakanda Forever but if I do, I have the feeling it’s going to be good. Seems a lot of focus on greif and cultures and think a movie that might focus more on the rivalry of nations instead of chasing ”another glowing MacGuffin” could be good and say something important . Was also impossible to find photos that showed the details on the legs and saw right before uploading that it was wrong so tried to fix it #blackpanther #tchalla #blackpantherfanart #fanart #photoshop #photoshopart #digitalart #digitalillustration #marvel #marvelstudios #mcu #chadwickboseman https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck05APnMkmm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I love Fantastic Four, my favourite comics, my favourite team; never had a bad time reading Fantastic Four-issues. Okay, sometimes but less than others. And Reed is my favourite member. I find him super-interesting. He got this unmatched talent to just hyperfixate, obsess on problems and to deep-dive into anything that he comes across. He has this natural curiosity and genuine interest in everything and wants to learn as much as possible and I have kind of the same and he inspires me to lean in on that.
And I love how this fixation and obsessive behaviour can be interpreted as self-absorbed or cold but also having a foundation in care and shame and a need to take care of his family.
And that’s also an important aspect of him, the guilt of the first space-travel and destroying the four’s lives. So everything that he does that doesn’t revolve around his natural intellect and the responsibility of that, is around his family and giving them the best possible lives with their… unique situations.
And yeah, he can be cold, he can be stubborn and he has walls and not ashamed of who he is and what he can do and can without a doubt make the worst choices but he’s still deep down a good man and doing what he does for the safety of his family.
And I just love seeing this in media, this keyhole-view on things, this ultra-everness yet complete oblivion to his surroundings and lack of understanding of others and their emotions, not that he doesn’t care, he just didn’t think that far or understood as much in those particular topics.
And I can’t wait to see what Daddy Pascal will do with this character.
Bittersweetness
Last planned Life is Strange for a while Fitting it would be the ending I went into it with not liking Chloe that much and ended actually having a difficult time with who to sacrifice (or whom? is this a "whom"-moment? We never mentioned whom in english class)

Based on a really rude drawing I did in Elemantary School where I compared my friend’s obsession with his phone with Gollum and I can see now why he wasn’t a big fan of it. So if you follow me here, no clue who does and doesn’t, I want to say again, I’m sorry for my past behavior. But also interesting how it still seems relevant all these years later with everyone being on social media and wanting more likes, more followers, more activity and I think there’s a little bit of Gollum in all of us. I try to stop myself from this and have removed all kinds of notifications and just want to focus on the fun part of all of this. I draw what I like and I share it, then I will have no clue of people will like it our not and I try not to care too much. . #photoshop #photoshopart #digitalart #digitalillustration #fanart #gollum #smeagol #lordoftherings #hobbit #tolkien #jrrtolkien #middleearth . #commissionsopen (på/i Middle-Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkqfdCUMJPE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
This MIGHT be 99% pre-downloaded brushes that came with Photoshop that might also not work well together BUT I saw this cat a while ago sitting on a well and looking over her home and I did not have time to pick up my camera SO here’s a ruff concept of what it looked like.
Magnificent.
Did a piece a year ago based on Reaching Out from the movie and wasn’t super happy with how it turned out. Quickly after I got an idea how a mirror could work instead but didn’t want to make it too soon.
"Their World"
Another instance of me finding something cool and not bringing my camera. I always take this long walk in the morning to work behind the blocks and there’s this stone wall separating the neighborhood and the woods and looking up one day, I just saw this doe staring at me at the top of the hill, framed by the trees.
A New Year’s Resolution I made in 2025 is to do more original stuff, do more things I find interesting to show to friends, family, strangers, cool stuff to put up on my walls one day. And also Newt… haven’t started on that part yet… but this is a good start I think on a “observations”-series, has a lot of notes of stuff I’ve seen that would just be fun to put on canvas and share.
