Spawn: the Violator

It's rare that I post work-in-progress sketch work on DA, but I hope you will like this doodle of the Violator. I always enjoy drawing monsters--particularly monsters with big mouths and teeth. When Violator showed up as a sketch topic for the PencilJack Weekly Sketch Group, I decided to participate. Breaking out some Pitt Artist's Pens and a sheet of plain white copy paper, I sat down and began to sketch Spawn's nemesis. I honestly don't know where I want to go with the image though, so I sat it aside. Maybe I'll finish this someday, but for now it's one for for my studio "sketch junk" box. Maybe I'll draw his right arm strangling Spawn, or perhaps I'll draw Violator pouring himself a dainty cup of Earl Grey. Who knows?

I don't draw SPAWN characters all that often, so I hope you enjoy my take on the character. I ditched the bug-eye look because I never liked it, and I think the blank, triangular eyes add more menace to his face. They certainly contrast better with the spotted black shadows at any rate.
