Trdl1605 Lukecagez

I’m sure I drew original Luke Cage back when I was a kid, just out of slavish devotion to the Marvel handbooks, though I don’t remember it exactly. I do remember using Cage to kick the asses of several players in the RPG, however. Although what I DO recall was doing what the Bendis-era Marvel ended up doing: the reasonably rational (redundant redundant) approach of putting him in a black T and jeans and shaving his head. Of course, there were, and have been, a million other directions to go in updating his decidedly 70s /Shaft look. This time, though, I decided to try my hand at the original look. All I really changed was the tint and saturation of his blue and yellows… now that that’s been done, I’m hankering to draw the Mike Colter version.

I’m going to start offering screencasts of the work where it makes sense. Procreate on the iPad records strokes automatically, so I’m starting to capture that video. Here’s the vid for this project:
