Threesome Art - 10.14.2011

Here's a couple of awesomeness I found today. 

Starship Troopers tribute by Dan Hipp

I love Starship Troopers (and its alien bugs) even more. 'Nuff said.

Rejected cover for Uncanny X-Force by Rafael Alberquerque

Yes the same guy who is doing the covers and interiors for American Vampire did this Wolvie. Rejected? Seriously? 

Then there's Phil Noto and his Avengers Press Day photo that defies Father Time and all explanation. I'll let the picture and captions tell you why.

From the Hank Pym Photo Archives- Avengers Press Day  “Tony thought it would be a good idea to invite some of the press over to Stark Mansion to highlight some of the work we were doing as the Avengers. I took this photo during an interview with a team from The Daily-something-or-other. I do remember the reporter asking us what we thought about other heroes’ roles in the country’s affairs. Apparently their city had, as the woman reporter put it, ‘A one-man Avengers team.’ “

I didn't notice the uber-awesomeness of Noto's photo at first until I read captions. And then it hit me.

I don't know what this is for, but what the hell... It's Batman by Phil Noto

From his blog:

"Batman - I was working on a very quick little Batman piece for something and it soon turned into this."

Something? Could it be a new DC graphic novel or one shot? Or could be hinting at doing something for DC related to the New 52 Batman? Because from the looks of this, its like a damn cover art. 

I know I'm not supposed to over-analyze things... but this is Phil Freaking Noto we're talking about.  And everything he does is noteworthy.

(You gotta love the Joker background doing his best impersonation of "The People's Eyebrow".) 

'Threesome Art' - 08/05/2011 - Phil Noto Barbara Gordon/Oracle Tribute

By now most of you probably know about DC's New 52, and that our beloved Oracle will be back as Batgirl with fan-favorite Gail Simone writing her new #1 which is out soon in September. So as a tribute to one of the most beloved characters in comics, I have decided to feature three Oracle/Batgirl art courtesy of Phil Noto.

Phil Noto is one of my favorite comic book artists, and he draws so well that its such a joy to read every comic book that has his name on it. His illustrations are so good that I'm having trouble explaining it. So with that said...

I'll just let his art do the talking. Enjoy!

Only a half-faced Batgirl? No problem. Phil still shows great dynamic and story by using a simple gesture: gearing up and getting ready to kick some ass.

I'm such a sucker for "pin-upy" artwork involving females. Asides from Adam Hughes, Phil Noto is one of those guys who can create such sexy female art without getting overly sexy. Sophisticated I should say. And this image of a smiling Barbara, posing at the camera is such a mushy one that I can't help but smile back.

 

Finally, the ultimate "goodbye Oracle" image. 

Simply put, this image of Oracle in her wheelchair - waving goodbye to everybody with that almost painful smile on her face - is just the perfect send-off. Anybody who loves Oracle  will not be able to hold back their tears when they see this. Everything about this image is fully executed to perfection by Noto, and I won't have it any other way.
