Artist's Comments

I just dug some old photo copies out of a box. This was pre-home scanning era so pardon the quality. Many of you should recognize this image. Joe Madureira and I did this as a promo piece back in the mid 90's. Since then its been used all over the place, from books, to advertising, to clothes, lunch boxes, a monopoly set, etc. I may have to go back and re-ink this for fun. These inks make me wanna puke!

Look familiar? Wolverine by *TimTownsend is a highly used promo image for Marvel Comics X-Men and we are excited to host the original ink work for it! Be sure to check out the lines which made up this famous Logan image! (Featured by $damphyr)

It's amazing how all artists look back at old work and hate it...yet I can look at this and think man I could really learn from this! You and Joe make a good team.
:icondebureturns:
Maybe so Tim, but i can guarantee you that i'll never match this level of expertise and style development, even if i draw from now until i die. Seriously, your ink work is off the chain... Wolvie's arm hair looks fabulous!

This does look familiar. Hell I think I had this as a lunch box as a kid lol. I don't know for sure but I'm 99% I had this. You and Mad made my childhood with stuff like this :worship:

Which Lopan? The 10' foot tall road block? Or the little basket case on wheels?
:iconin-spire-tion:
Your own work makes you want to puke!? Damn, I'd hate to see what happens when you see someone elses work that isn't up to your current standard =P

Ask no questions and you will get no answers.

Arm hair has never looked this sexy.
:iconhulkdaddyg:
If you do reink this it would be nice to see what changes you make for learning purposes. I'm sure your whole approach is different now, but seriously I wish I could do this.

my opinion may be swayed by all my love for Joe Mad but I love this pic.....I miss ya'll together....We all could have used you on The Ultimates run...great work from the Madman but like Mark Morales on Leinil Yu (from New Avengers to Secret Invasion) great inkers add SOOOO much to art....Thanks for sharing this...

Please don't eat me. I need my body to keep the poo inside.
:iconinnerpeace1979:
I have to totally agree with :iconbloodzilla-billy: I could totally learn from this...

I would like to ask permission to colour this image and credit you and Joe Madureira in the submission, also reminding people this character is copyright and trademark of marvel entertainment:blush:

All the best for you who read this:), can you make a picture of that in your mind;)?
