Description
I went through my camera file on my cell phone and found this old gem. This was one of the it sounds I tried to do on a watercolor/sharpie cityscape piece featuring The Spirit and his sidekick, Ebony White, I did later year. I can't really remember why I threw this away before I could finish the whole thing out of practice. I remember that the anatomy was a bit wrong on his legs. I'm tempted to try to give it another go just for the hell of it sometime.Follow, comment, and share as you please. I'm offer commission services. Drop a line in my inboxes or email (jaysneed123@gmail.com) for more details and orders on any pieces.

You have a stunning gallery here, plus an excellent art style. Reminds me very much of a combination of R Crumb, Kevin Eastman and some of the early Mad magazine artists of the early 50s.

Not a bad attempt with watercoloring here. I should get back into watercoloring soon(what type of watercoloring did you use for this? I like it how it looks dark). Denny and Ebony do look great here as well. I like the fact that you didn't make Ebony the typical 'blackface' character here like he is in the comics, that was my only issue with the original Spirit comics.

Thanks. I really tried hard to maintain Will Eisner's Style as well as my own. I actually did this back when I was on a Spirit kick last year also. I try to avoid making Ebony look like his counterparts without coming off as stereotypical racist since people are really sensitive about anything nowadays to be honest. It's actually ironic considering that Ebony is considered to be one of the first black characters in comics to develop a lot more personality and skills in science, criminal catching, and even athletic skills at that. Eisner also did introduce a another black detective character that maintain less of a stereotypical look and drawl in his comics. But, the character only appeared in two to four stories.
