Power Girl color sketch

Power-Girl-color-drawing-by-Jerry-Ordway on Ebay

Here's a drawing I was playing around with recently, an excuse to play with my Copic markers. No pre-planning involved, just a quick underdrawing, and then start inking and coloring.

JSA 80 Page Giant cover prelims to finished cover

Prelim and sketches on Ebay here

Here are the cover ideas sent to the editor, with their choice, a"House of Mystery" themed one developed to a prelim. I proceeded to the finished art, below.

This was colored up, and used in Previews for solicitation, but then before the book was published, DC higher-ups dumped it, in favor of a different image. Another example of micro-managing, as it went through all the usual approvals along the way, from  editor to art director, and of course they chose the sketch to develop in the first place. Incidents like this are always sad for me, as I expected to front the cover of the book, which included a 10 page Wildcat story I wrote and drew.

Fantastic Four sketch cover for Hero Initiative

Here's my contribution to the Fantastic Four anniversary issue sketch cover project, done for auction by the Hero Initiative. I was pretty rusty as I haven't drawn the FF since I drew them in the mini-series Maximum Security over 10 years ago, and it's really hard to ink on a comic! But it is what it is, and hopefully it will make some money for a good cause.

Power of Shazam#46 sketch to painting

Here's an example of the sketch done for editorial approval, along with a scan of the painted art. This image was inspired by a great Nick Cardy cover from a 1970's Superman comic.
