A Week Late and Two Men Short
(Mar 17, 2010)
Excuse me while I jump aboard the caboose of the Wolverine Train that’s pulled out of the station. Yes, I’d hoped to share my rendition of the most ubiquitous of X-Men last week with Tyler and Jonathan. Better late than never though, eh?
As Jonathan hinted at last Friday, shortness is an important aspect of any Wolverine drawing. These days, Wolvsy tends to be drawn as tall as his fellow marvel heroes, but true believers know that he’s really a five-foot-nothing fuzzball of adamantium-laced fury! Returning Wolverine to his stumpy roots was the main inspiration behind the following illustration.
This week’s drawing is also a transparent excuse to draw Tom Cruise’s nutty-looking mug. Below are some of my warm-ups and face studies, which have a more grotesque look than the finished piece.
Seriously, if you gaze long into Tom Cruise’s smile, so does his smile gaze into you!
The L. Ron book is a nice touch. I still like his Frank T.J. Mackey role from Magnolia. That’s about it for my Cruise love though.

Jeremy,

Seriously though, I need to see Magnolia one of these days. And no love for Cruise’s wacky turn in Tropic Thunder?
