Me Hate Bizzaro Art!

[galactiboy]

Wow! Really great stuff, I like how you have a very clear style... yet the subjects look very true to the sources. Nicely done!

[BDboystoys]

Im in love with your art! It looks bloody fantastic! :google
:bow Kudo's man, thats some amazing talent and unique style you have.
Love it. Especially the Gandalf!

Thanks everyone! Gandalf is mixed media. I started it off as a watercolor and then went back in with acrylic ( mainly for the background and some highlights on Gandalf).
Here's some more:

Both of these originals have sold and I don't have better scans. I can always paint something simular. I plan on doing a full color version of the Batgirl piece. Currently the only ones I have available as prints are these giclees:

We'll see what the future brings....hopefully I can hit Art Expo or Comicon in NY in 2008.
I did a whole bunch of Spectre cards for the DC legacy set...hope they decide to use them all.

That's something that no artist gets tired of hearing. I really appreciate all the kind words. That being said there is always room for improvement, which is something I know I'll continually strive for.

Oh really, you deserve the praise :bow Keep it coming please!
I noticed art work based on Batman Beyond and the New Batman Animated Series. Got any art/prints from the original Batman TAS?

[Darth Sheba]

Amazing work, very distinctive style! I especially love your Spidey and Maleficent! :D

I haven't explored the original series yet. I will eventually. I have done a couple of commissions dealing with that era of Animated Batman:

Oh man, an image with Faramir would be SO FABUlOUS!!! That's the kind of thing I could really display; one of those in front of my figure would be AWESOME!!! Oh man I can't wait to see what you come up with if you ever get to that! Faramir done with greens and browns . . . oh yeah man! :cool:

Here's a Hellboy:
http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s125/McHaleyArt/Artwork/Hellboy_021.jpg

Dang that is cool looking!

[waterfold]

Awesome work man. I love the style and especially the gandalf and Batman TAS stuff. I'd love prints of some of those.

[Seaward]

Mark's stuff looks even more amazing in person. Trust me, you don't get the full effect until you see them up close. Having had a few beers and foosball games hanging out with Mark, it's all you can do to ogle the art he makes! Good luck at Wizard World Mark!

All of those have been sold and I didn't make prints. But I do still have the Gandalf piece and I'm gonna try and make a few giclee prints of it.

Info on Doom please! :)

For Doom I did this color concept and the finished painting you see in the earlier post (both gone). I will be doing a similar Doom but maybe with his pistol in his other hand or something. Right now I don't know what I'll have prints for but I will post here when I know. Currently I'm working on a Vader.

Oh OH. MY. GOD. Seriosuly man. I am IN LOVE with your art. I am repeating myself but I feel the need to say it constantly. Brilliant. Im floored.
I REALLY need something of yours in my possession :bow...but what? hmm...

[McHaleyArt]

For anyone that will be in attendance at Wizard World Chicago this year, I will be at Artist Alley Table 4010. I usually just have originals at the show but because of last years multiple requests for prints I will have a small run of limited prints available. For those interested that will not be at the show, PM me and I'll let you know what will be available.
~Mark
P.S. Thanks for all your comments. I do appreciate it and look forward to listing more art!!!!

[Boba Fett]

Will you be attending Dragon*Con this year as well? If so, I would love to buy some of your artwork. Absolutely fantastic!

[McHaleyArt]

Probably not. I do want to do more shows. I'm looking at the DragonCon page right now to see if it's at all possible for me to fit it in if they'll have me.

[The ill Jedi]

McHaley, will you be at SDCC? If not...Damn!! :banghead :D

Seriously though, the more if your work I see, the more I LOVE it, you are a truely talented artist. :bow

[McHaleyArt]

Looks like I missed the deadline date for submitting an application.

McHaley, will you be at SDCC? If not...Damn!! :banghead :D
No.... I will not. I REALLY need to get out there next year. Heroic Fine Art (HFA) will have a spot at SDCC and they will have some of my art there...real nice guys.

[DannieDarKo]

Sir Knight McHaley, shoot for SDCC 2008 I'll be there then and would love to buy some of your amazing art! :rock

Of course I have been thinking of more than likely buying one of your art pieces sooner than 2008 of course. :D

[trebor]

I said it before...WOW!!! Especially love that Darth Maul! Just roll it up and send it my way!!!:D:D:D

[Boba Fett]

Looks like I missed the deadline date for submitting an application.

DAMN!!

Well, please try for Dragon*Con 08 then! You will have a customer waiting for you to buy your art! :D

[McHaleyArt]

Well, please try for Dragon*Con 08 then! You will have a customer waiting for you to buy your art! :D
I'm going to try and hit just about everywhere next year.

This is similar to another Hellboy I had done before but smaller and in Black & White. I had done it as a wash to test how I was going to layer my paints. I don't have the larger one anymore so I thought I would add color to this one.....and some drunk fairies for good measure. 9x12 on watercolor paper.

[The ill Jedi]

That Hellboy is killer!
Yeah it is, it's F'n AWESOME!!

[customizerwannabe]

I'll be checking out Mark's work at Wizard Con. Woo hoo!

[McHaleyArt]

When I first saw Asajj in CW Animated, I immediately saw her as a stylized, corpse-like figure. To me, she should be scary as hell and look like death. I've seen her in the comics looking "healthy" and some might say 'hot". In my opinion you shouldn't be attracted to this girlie unless your a necrophiliac.
16x12 on watercolor paper:
http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s125/McHaleyArt/Artwork/AsajjVentressPrint-1.jpg

[McHaleyArt]

Here she is again. I actually have never used the computer to manipulate my paintings except to clean up the white areas of the paper after I photograph them....but in this case I gave my cheap paint program a workout.

I never realized just how popular sketch cards have become until I researched them a bit after working on the DC Legacy set. I'll just have small amount of original cards at Wizard World Chicago along with copies of some of the DC cards for people to view.

Oh man, that is just simply stunning, more and more I am being lured into the 'artwork' world. I saw so many beautiful pieces at SDCC, they tempted me to sell all of my stuff to buy art.

....right now I'm pretty swamped with commissions....I have no idea when I'm going to be able to do my LOTR montage. You can bet you'll see it here though when I do.

[McHaleyArt]

Please forgive me if you regard this as a pretentious post.
I will have prints of 12 different paintings of mine at Wizard World Chicago. If you are not going to be at this show and are interested....PM me and I'll send you all of the details so you can get the ones you want.
All my best,

DC's Legacy card set (Rittenhouse Archives) was released last week (for which) I did 300 bonus color sketch cards. Here's a few of them. Right now I'm working on the Heroes: Season One card set for Topps (to be release later this month).

[Seaward]

Any Iron Giant artwork Mark? Your display for the toys were amazing, I was just wondering if you've done any painting along these lines.

Cool new stuff!:chew

[McHaleyArt]

I have been dying to do something 'Iron Giant' for a long time now, Chris. Just haven't found the time. All the artwork I've posted lately were commissioned and I'm working on more card sets for topps: more Heroes cards, Lord of the Rings Masterpieces II and Indiana Jones...as well as a set for Marvel.

[Rogue Trooper]

Don't know i have not posted a comment earlier but your works is fantatstic, those sketch cards are a great way of doing lots of chrarcters and i really like the way you use the the watercolours. Hope you keep posting more work.

[McHaleyArt]

Thanks Ian!
I'm working on a 2nd round of Heroes cards at the moment. Here are some samples from the 2n wave:

[Captain Faramir]

Those are fantastic!!! You MUST make a Faramir one with green and brown colors--I would kiss the ground you walk on if you did!

[fool_of_a_took!]

Wow!

Really great work. You've got a great future ahead of you in art.

Must be awesome to earn a living a what you truly love!

You'll probably have to search ebay when the set comes out. LOTS of cards will be found there. I was really impressed with all the good art that's being produced from the artists on this set...so you should be able to get some good Faramir cards. I think there's 2 sketch cards per box. Here's a couple more of Faramir...just didn't have time to paint them all.

[Captain Faramir]

Augh! I must find those! I'd love to get them, how much do they cost? So beautiful . . .

[The Josh]

Well, the cards range from not bad to really expensive on ebay.

:monkey2 Oh well. At least I still have my other artwork.

[The Josh]

Don't be sad. Just keep an eye out for a good deal.

[McHaleyArt]

Josh is correct. Sometimes you can get a good deal if the seller has listed an attainable Buy It Now price or a 1-3 day auction.

[Jamal]

Have you got any Predator stuff dude?

[McHaleyArt]

Nope...someday I'll get around that that subject matter.

[Jamal]

Another question bro, whats the difference between Derwent Watercolour and Derwent artist pencils? both a 72 pack by the way. Which would you recommend to a drawer returning to the hobby? if not any of the above what would you recommend

Jamal,
It all depends on what you're trying to accomplish. If you're returning to the hobby, I wouldn't worry about color and concentrate on your drawing skills, using pencil only. If you just want to cut loose and have a good time watercolor paints or watercolor pencils are good for that. Most art stores (Blick, Michaels, etc. all have books that show you basic method...I would suggest flipping through them and find the one that appeals to you the most. Watercolor is the hardest, but if you get the hang of it, then painting with opaque mediums (acrylic, oil) should come easier.

[Jamal]

Cool man im watching a few 72 packs of Derwent pencils on ebay. I think maybe artist pencils would be better because i dont think ill be painting.

When it comes to lead pencils does it really matter what type you use?

Mark McH,

I've been looking at cards like these on eBay...These (2) are freakin badass! I like them the best overall. If I could get them...that would be sweet!!
Your work :rock out!

[McHaleyArt]

Thanks DarkDays! These were 2 of my 6 cards I get as partial payment from topps. So they will (probably) be available at some point in time.

Pencils....personal preference. You'll have to experiment. Some like the 'mechanical pencil' because it's thin and you don't have to sharpen it. Lots of artists use the 'lead holder' that holds thick pieces of lead and has a sharpener attached. I prefer the old wooden pencil. I like to use the sides to draw with as well as the tip.
As far as your lead softness/hardness: again personal preference and (sometimes) humidity. Usually the more humid your climate is the softer you want your lead. I use and HB almost all the time. Sometimes a 2B for rough, expressive layouts.
Hope this helps...I'll send you a $bill for the lesson.:lol:lol

[Jamal]

LOL thanks bro

[RiPTiDE]

WoW!!...awesome artworks!!..WoW

[PsychoCenobite]

I love your work and style! :chew

Have you ever done any horror pictures - Pinhead, Jason, Freddy, etc?

I'd love to see what you could do with those!

PsychoCenobite :monkey5

[McHaleyArt]

I haven't yet....I would love to touch on those subject matters....work just hasn't allowed me the time.

[Jen]

Those Indiana Jones sketch cards are just amazing Mark. I always love seeing what you are up to and always amazed at the beauty of each piece you do. :duff

[McHaleyArt]

Thanks Jen!!

[Jamal]

Wow just wow.. i dont think ive seen this kind of talent ever man

[RiPTiDE]

did you take up fine arts?..you're works are really impressive!!

[McHaleyArt]

did you take up fine arts?..you're works are really impressive!!
Rip; not really. Nothing more involved that high school art classes. I trained with a commercial artist for about a year, then started work in a advertising art firm at 19....that was the big education. But mainly experimenting and trial and error were my teachers as far as painting go.

[DarkDaysinVegas]

Thanks DarkDays! These were 2 of my 6 cards I get as partial payment from topps. So they will (probably) be available at some point in time.

Mark McH,

Do you have any of these cards in hand yet?

I'd love to have these.......if at all possible.

http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s125/McHaleyArt/CARDS/6Back56.jpg


Let me know!

-Will-

[McHaleyArt]

DarkDays...I'll PM you with some information about the future of these cards.

[Deak Starkiller]

Great stuff man, love the Batman Animated stuff, you definitely give off a more focused Sankewicz (sp?) vibe which is completely a compliment!

[McHaleyArt]

Thanks Nikto...I appreciate it.

[the Doctor]

very nice indeed mchaleyart..is your style influenced by any artists.

i though there was a hint of jim lee and tim sale in there?

[wilysteve]

Amazing talent, wow!

[Deak Starkiller]

I know this is going to sound naive but these aren't actually paint on the cards themselves, right? If not then what's the size on the originals?

[McHaleyArt]

Yes...they are actually painted on the card. They're bonus 'sketch cards' that are inserted in the packs. Around 50 or so artists contributed to the set.

[Deak Starkiller]

Wow. Sounds nuts man.

[McHaleyArt]

Lucasfilm gave the 'o.k' to start showing the SW Celebration Japan artwork for our prints. I've really wanted to do some work with Grievous as the subject...so it was an easy choice at the time:

[dvdmalice]

i want one of those.............

[uscmhicks]

simply stunning work ! :rock

[Darth Caedus]

WOW...simply amazing work. Would love to have some of those on my wall

[Jessica]

I would love to have some of your artwork. Do you sell prints of them or do you only sell originals?

[McHaleyArt]

I usually have prints of some of my stuff at the conventions.

[Jessica]

Do you have a website that I could order prints from?

[McHaleyArt]

Do you have a website that I could order prints from?
I don't sell prints on-line. You can email me or send me a PM through this forum. FYI: I'm preparing for Star Wars Celebration Japan and San Diego ComicCon so I wouldn't even want to take print orders or send them out until afterward...just too much to do right now.:google

[DarkArtist81]

Wow.... Dude that Greivous is FANTASTIC! I love it. Maybe I will see you at SDCC...:rock

[McHaleyArt]
