Character 176 – Teen Blade REDO

I drew and painted this character in 2011 and redoing in 2025 is a challenging yet fun exercise to build momentum. Its a trip to see how much I’ve grown as an artist and I can see theres still so much to learn. But in the meantime, check out the comparison below.

This is the original version. In the late 90s film starring Wesley Snipes his partner and friend Whistler said he discovered Blade as a homeless teenager. Here I imagine him making a way into civilian life, high school maybe for the first time after getting some support. Whatcha think? Holler.

Inktober 24- Blade

I must admit i didn’t know who Blade was until I saw the film. I didn’t grow up reading comics because no one I knew read them or hipped me to them. But as a father I have the joy of rediscovering them and sharing them with my son. We bond monthly over the latest or older comic. Can’t wait to show him this character, then later the film. Drew this with ink and gouache.
