This one’s not actually in my sketchbook–although a similarly awesome Cobra Commander by Dale is–and to be honest, I was a little reluctant to actually get this one, because I didn’t want to be That Guy. You know, the guy who asks for pictures of the Baroness. It’s a short step from there to being the guy who totes around a Moleskine full of naked Legionnaires.
Still, I’m glad I got it, because Jeremy (obviously) did a fantastic job with it. He is, of course, the artist for the GI Joe comics that were included with the Comic Two-Packs, and you can find more of his work in Image’s Popgun v. 1
And hey, he’s at HeroesCon this weekend, too!
As far as sketchbook themes go, you could do a lot worse than Baroness. As long as you don’t ask for a pose where the only thing preventing it from being X-rated is Destro’s mask, you’ll be good. Just mix in some G-rated stuff. For instance, Chris Giarusso told me he’d be at HeroesCon this weekend.
Oh, and Wizard World? Totally underwhelming this year. I might not go on Sunday. My current white whale: getting a Power Woman sketch from Amanda Conner. Not Power Girl . . . her older counterpart from Kingdom Come. I’ll also try and get a headshot from Steve Dillon; I’m not a big fan of his work, but I always need to get stuff from people I’ve yet to hit up for sketches.
The link to Jeremy Dale’s website is actually a link back to this post.
Jeremy Dale is hiding in the attic! Get out of the house!
Clever bastard! He’s always one step ahead!!
That’s the best alt text I’ve seen in a good long time, Sims! And that’s not to say the rest were bad!
PS: Went to see Revenge of the Fallen last night. I enjoyed the first one but the sequel licks unexpected amounts of pole. Roll on Joe in August, I guess!

Given the laws of quantum physics, there IS a parallel world where Jim Balent is writing an x-rated Legion of Super-Heroes.
You’re welcome for that image.
Jeremy’s work almost always blows me away – whatever the subject.
Fixed the link.
I got so tired of all the cheesecake and nudie girlie shots that I asked one of my favorite artists (known for doing cheesecake) if he’d mind doing a beefcake sketch for me. I figured someone had to be “That Guy” for the other team and it might as well be me. And he delivered a great caveman warrior sketch. Woof.
Waitaminute…”Michael D.”, gay guy…did you used to be one of the front-page posters at John Cole’s blog?
If so…well, I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised to see you here, it’s not like Balloon Juice is an un-nerdy place. Still, fine taste.
Brian @6 has just ruined my day, month,and possibly year.
I get not wanting to be That Guy, but my goodness that is one gorgeous sketch right there. How could you NOT own that?
