I did a sketch a while back of Luke Cage and Steve suggested that I do one of Iron Fist. I tend to sit on these things till I have an idea of where I want to go with them. In this case as I was wrapping up that Velma piece I had a sudden inspiration. "What if all those years of hanging around Luke Cage made Iron Fist Ghetto?" Which, immediately became; "What if Eminem was Iron Fist?" The idea had me laughing my ass off. He was supposed to have a microphone and sneakers to go with his hoodie. As I sat down to sketching, I started listening to "Triumph" and "Iron Flag" over and over. It didn't take long before the Wu tang albums started influencing my decisions. I eventually wound up changing the concept a final time to reflect The Wu tang Clan angle. After all that, I still kept the hood.

I approve wholeheartedly good sir.
Thanks man. Still trying to get another finished before the end of the month.
Can you Photoshop Luke Cage & Iron Fist together? That would be cool. Only if you have time of course.
Sorry I missed your comment Steve. I actually did another sketch of Ole Luke. Had it inked but never got the chance to color it. Its been crazy lately and I don't have the time I wished I had. You'll see them no worries.
