Todd McArthur

Sketchbook drawings and finished drawings and things I like. My personal website, which bears a curious resemblance to my Tumblr, is at toddmcarthur.com.

Happy Thorsday! 🔨 ...did I mistakenly use a Celtic knotwork design instead of a Norse one? Can anyone come up with a narrative that explains away my grievous error for me?

[toddmcarthur]

Was I the only one who left the theater thinking Doctor Poison, an unrepentant, mass-murdering war criminal, was the coolest character and needed more screen time? Complicated feelings. I drew her.

Happy Thor’s day! I always loved Olivier Coipel’s design -- it has a lot of that Steve Ditko pattern sensibility.

There’s been a whole lot of Prince going on in my house lately.

Photographer Martin Klimas captured the exact moment of these kung-fu porcelain figurines shattering on the ground, resulting in chaotically beautiful images.

I just really wanted to draw a big, unabashed pinup after those Batgirl pages.

...Also, never drawn veins on a foot before.

A mini-episode of funky, jive-talking, early-70s Batsploitation! Enjoy!

(Big thanks to gailsimone for sharing my original illustration with the Tumblrsphere in the first place, and to francavillarts, francismanapul,  Jerome Opena and Mike Norton for being generous enough to critique the rough pencils at Special Edition NYC.)

More Pam Grier Batgirl!

I had so much fun with my blaxploitation Batgirl redesign that I had to do a few pages of her. I just wanted to show the inking that I finished today--word balloons and color coming soon!
