So Long, Thanks For All The MODOK...

Threw this together at the last minute so I could include a goodbye. Thank you one and all for making March MODOK Madness a success for yet another year. Thanks to co-blogger Pedro Delgado for your posting efforts and staying on top of submissions, Kasra Ghanbari for his continued contribution from his collection, and Mighty Fine for joining in the fun. I hope our shilling brought some people your way to buy some great MODOK merch. Hope to see you all next year, keep drawing those MODOKs! Sorry for the brief exodus, MODOK takes a lot out of me every March and I need some sleep. And to give some love to April and Arnim Zola...

Submitted MODOK: Brandon L. Dawley

Brandon rushed in this post right at the end... Its a little last minute MODOK action, and MODOK is even thinking Green. He says he'll be putting some color to it in the coming days. So, if you'd like to check this and his other work out please visit Dawlism.

Submitted MODOK: Rich Werner

Rich from over at PopCap Games sent us this hairy wild eyed version of MODOK which he named "DAVEDOK". He Writes,

I based mine off of Plants Vs Zombies. Since I did all the art on that game I felt it would be funny to do this. My coloring was super fast but I had to get it done.

It looks great Rich, even if you do feel it was super fast work. We appreciate you taking the time to share an image with us in the last hours of MMM2011.

If you'd like to take a look at more of Rich's work check out his SITE!

modok on vacation

This post card reads: Wish you were here. The whether (sic.) is fantastic. I think the drugs here are cheap, because all the locals seem stoned... heh heh heh! Seriously though, we should consider invading this place.

Submitted MODOK: Mark Barrett

Mark from over at PopCap games sent us this vibrantly colored MODOK.. He's taking a little nap and flying along throuht the skys. Perhaps he's dreaming of the wonders to come in March 2012...who's to say..

Many thanks to Mark for the submission and if you'd like to check out more of his work stop on by his SITE!.

Submitted MODOK: Michael Kephart

Submitted MODOK: Kirk Manley

Kirk Submitted this Spectacular amalgam of one part MODOK and one part DOC OCK. The outcome is a deliciously evil Super villain with mechanized tentacles and Mighty MINDBLASTS... As you can see by the trophies at his feet in this image.... MODOK means BUSINESS on the last day of MARCH.

Submitted MODOK: Benjamin Phillips

Ben, sent MODOK this little note today along with some fantastic art..In honor of the FINAL day of March MODOK Madness.

Oh greatest one,
I humbly submit my feeble attempt to portray you in all of your magnificence, from your tiny baby limbs to the fullest eye bags on any villain in the entire multiverse... I salute you with my tribute.
Good fun as always, hope this is in time to make the last day!

We're proud to be sharing Ben's work with you, and if you'd like to see some more of his work on your own he invites you to check out his BLOG!.

Thanks for sharing your work with us Jason, We hope to see you again for MMM2012!

Submitted MODOK: David Ryan Paul

The man with three first names, David Ryan Paul, sends in these exquisite renditions of MODOK, had he been created by the French comic artist, Moebius. Uncertain which color scheme to go with, I decided that it was awesome enough to be represented by both. Beautiful work, Mr. Paul, thank you for your contribution to MMM 2011. To see more choice examples of David's work, please visit his website, as well as his blog.

Submitted MODOK: Randy Tischler

Randy Tischler, who helps put on the Baltimore Comic-Con, sent us these drawings that he's collected from artists present at the Baltimore Comic Con. Randy is partial to the work of Richard Thompson (of the syndicated comic strip Cul-de-Sac) Randy writes, "He did this sketch for me at the Baltimore Comic-Con last year where he used characters from Cul-de-Sac (so it's definitely funnier if you know the strip, but it's funny even if your new to Thompsons work!)."

Above art by: Richard Thompson

Randy also sent us this great sketch of MODOK he received a few years back at The Small Press Expo from the very talented Pen of Ryan Dunlavey. Who certainly is not a stranger to us here at March MODOK MADNESS.

Thanks for sharing these images with us, Randy. Very cool stuff..

Submitted MODOK: Rasim Torun

Rasim joins our list of International artists, sending us this great MODOK drawing from far off Istanbul. He writes,

"I saw your awesome blog last year. But I couldn't find a chance to draw MODOK."

Thankfully, Rasim found some time for MMM 2011 and submitted this fine MODOK from a page in his moleskin sketchpad...
To see Other examples of Mr. Torun's work check out his SITE.
I'm always thrilled when we get submissions from around the world. Its nice to know that we can all sit down, and have some fun drawing the Magnificent MODOK! Mindblasts of Unity!

Pharaoh-DOK!

March is winding down.. But, MODOK is going out with A ROAR!..
Because MODOK is into ordering around all the AIM Beekeepers. He figured he'd take it one step further and have the staff at AIM HQ build him a monument... Maybe like a sphinx or some other monolithic structure that would display his greatness for ages to come... So MODOK gathered his henchmen, told them that they where going on a weekend team building retreat. Then geared up in his royal headgear and oversaw the construction. THUS he BECAME PHARAOH-DOK!. In an interesting side note...his visor says "Kill" in heiroglyphs and I based a lot of the mask design on Tutenkhamen. Furthermore he also, had some Canopic jars specially made to house the remains of any hero's that dared oppose him.

Hope you Dig.

Submitted MODOK: Ben Hodson

Ben sends in this cool, cartoony YODOK and adds: "In a galaxy far, far away....adventure, excitement...a Yodok craves not these things!" Of course not, but some good ol' destruction is right up his alley. Thanks, Ben! Check out more of Mr. Hodson's work at his website.

Submitted MODOK: Pete Taylor

Pete, a founder of the Swansea Comics Collective, sends in another MODOK, this one a portrait of Mark "Son of Ken" Hughes, another founder of the SCC. What a stunning tribute! If you find yourself on Uplands and this character comes at you, watch yourself. He's probably up to no good. That's how MOSOK rolls. Thanks, Pete!

Submitted MODOK: Martien Bos

Martien sends us this great MODOK all the way from Amsterdam, where MODOK lurks the canals and spreads his brand of terror. I love his little arms and legs. Check out Martien's work, including some great caricature and a colored version of this piece, at his blog, Antisomber. Thanks, Martien, for your contribution to MMM 2011!

Submitted MODOK: Annika Fischer

Annika was not about to let March pass with submitting this fantastic Cubist version of MODOK. There's lots of energy within the shapes and colors on this piece. Many thanks to Annika for sharing this Modok Image with us.

Submitted MODOK: Matthew Allison

Sure, John Byrne did a good job with the cover to Captain America #313, but it needed a visceral touch. That's when you call in Matthew Allison. Death Adder plucking an eye and vivisecting MODOK's midsection were much needed, but the icing on the cake has to be Cap puking green stuff. Nice touch. Thanks to both illustrator Matthew Allison and collector Kasra Ghanbari. This one is not for the faint of heart.

Submitted MODOK: Sal Abbinanti

A lot of folks know Sal Abbinanti as the art rep for people like Alex Ross and Bill Sienkiewicz through Comic Book Pros. But they also know him as the artist on the creator-owned book Atomika, which like Sal's art is a truly singular creation and must-see.
Kasra has been wanting Sal to draw MODOK for years now, and finally got his wish when one of his best friends, (the incredible artist/force of nature known as Buzz) persuaded Sal to take up the challenge and draw our favorite mental organism. Sal, didn't just draw one MODOK though.... he ended up doing THREE!!, and they're all wicked!

Many thanks again to Kasra for supporting March MODOK Madness supplying us with awesome MODOK images..

Submitted MODOK: Collin David

Collin David returns this year with SkeleDOK, a creepy, fleshless version of MODOK. I'm trying decide whether to have it tattooed across my back or detailed on the side of my van. Either way, it is quite a striking piece. To see more of Mr. David's fine craft and doings, head over to ResonantFish. Thanks, Collin!
