Fury Self Portrait

I felt like doing another self portrait lately. I went with Ultimate Nick Fury from Marvel's Ultimate Imprint. You can also find him in the Marvel movies now too. My friends would joke that I looked like Sam Jackson. I was even Nick Fury two Halloweens ago. (Even though nobody got it.) The picture was based on a illustration by Bryan Hitch. (Ultimates 2 #2) Thankfully my girlfriend takes great pictures. The reference for me was no problem.

Featured Illustration: "Super" self portrait

I wanted to illustrate a self portrait but I just didn't know what to use a a picture. My girlfriend snaps plenty of pictures of me but this had to be unique. I asked her to decide. Eventually she cam up with the idea to do something Superman inspired. This illustration came from Superman from the '30's. Rose gave me some great reference. The plan was adapt to this Silver Age cartooning style and pay homage as well. I think it's appropriate that I render a self portrait like this in October too.
