JMS Wonder Woman Concept Art and Tarzan Production Sketch
on August 4th, 2011More unpublished Wonder Woman concept art commissioned by J Michael Straczynski for a never-produced Wonder Woman project, now available on ebay.

None of these sketches were particularly successful, and the one on the far right, I didn’t even submit.
I like to refer to sketch #3 as Sexpot Wonder Woman. JMS was not impressed.
Again, I did a batch of color doodles, super fast. These are digital color sketches, and you get one print out of these sketches with the winning bid for the pencil art.
Also for sale, this sketch of Tarzan, for a comic. Mark Wheatley was the editor who gave me this great opportunity. Alas, the series was canceled while in the middle of my debut, so none of my Tarzan art was ever published. I don’t recall doing much: less than ten pages.
I’ll keep the auctions going as long as they continue to be successful, but know that I have to take everything off sale in October, including book sales. I’ll be out of the country for a month and unable to process any orders.
Thanks for supporting my work.

omg that’s the first hawt Tarzan I have ever seen. Excuse me while I mop up the droooool…
LOL!
Tarzen is handsome, smart, fit, and naked. I don’t know how people manage to make him look not hawt.
I really wish…. *sigh* …. my pocketbook just glares at me for even thinking it.
I hope someone pays a really good price for that Tarzan.
Me, too.
I do have a nice job. When everything goes right, it really is the coolest job in the world!
The first Wonder Woman in that row reminds me of the girl touching hands with the Lady of the Lake before the gates in one of the sketchbook editions of A Distant Soil… Jennifer I think you said her name was…..
My God, you have a good memory!
I loved that picture, along with most of the Avalon based art in the sketchbooks.
As for the name, I was positive I remembered commenting to one of my old childhood friends that she had the same name and guessed the most Arthurian of those when I couldn’t remember who I had been talking too…
Psst… Tarzan… that’s “John Clayton, Lord Greystoke” in polite society.
So, yeah, he’s buff, smart (speaking many languages, including that of the great apes, French, English, Dutch, German, Swahili, many Bantu dialects, Arabic, ancient Greek, ancient Latin, Mayan, the languages of the Ant Men and of Pellucida, according to Wikipedia), ecological, loves animals, and EXTREMELY limber. And veddy rich. (And if that’s not enough, Doc Savage and Nero Wolfe are cousins.) (And it’s no surprise he’s got such good breeding… his great-great grandfathers were Fitzwilliam Darcy and Sir Percy Blakeney.)
And he prefers to “strip off the thin veneer of civilization”, as Burroughs often puts it… yup… that’s a pretty thin veneer he’s wearing there…
