Here’s a few quick timelapses of some of my oil painting process for my recent Marvel masterpieces series.
Firstly, here’s ‘She-Hulk’.
This image is 12×16 inches on oil primed linen, which I used quite often on this series of paintings. Something about the surface of the linen prevented me from getting unnecessarily detailed on these paintings, which was imperative since I only had 3 days to complete them.
Next up, Here’s Elektra.
I went for a pretty stark composition on this one, which not only saved me some time, but I think adds a lot of drama to the piece especially next to the other images in the series. Since I saved myself a little time not having a background to worry about, I decided to use those extra hours and paint this one quite large, purely for the sake of having an impactful original. The final reproduction didn’t really warrant the overly large size, but it was worth the extra effort.

Hey Dan, How is it going, I remember during a smarter art class you said that you bought your brushes in buik and threw them out after a painting, do you have some links for those?
Absolutely brilliant breakdown of the muscle structure for She-Hulk, especially how you managed to convey both power and femininity. The lighting on Elektra is also masterful, really emphasizing her stealthy nature. Could you elaborate more on your brushwork choices for the different textures?
Wow, this is incredibly inspiring! Your rendition of both She-Hulk and Elektra is stunning. I love the dynamic poses and vibrant colors. It makes me want to grab my tablet and start painting right now! Amazing work!
Simply breathtaking artistry! The detail and energy in both pieces are incredible. Muddy Colors always delivers top-tier content.
