noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Stegman) — Mon, 21 May 2012 13:56:00 +0000

Folks! This past weekend I was at the Motor City Comic Con in Novi, MI. It was a fantastic show. So great. I did tons of sketches and I wanted to share them with you here. So...Here ya go! I'll be at Cherry Capital Con this coming week and then Heroes Con in June. Catch me at those shows if you want a sketch of your own!

They are for Avengers vs. X-Men #9, Scarlet Spider #8 and Fantastic Four #609, respectively. Also, Matt Wilson colored the AvX cover, Marte Gracia colored the Scarlet Spider cover, and Paul Mounts colored the Fantastic Four cover.

From Scarlet Spider to Fantastic Four

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Stegman) — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:00:00 +0000

Hey folks,

As of last night, I am finished with my interior work on Scarlet Spider. I'm remaining on the book to do covers.

As you may have heard, I'll be joining Jonathan Hickman on his legendary Fantastic Four run. I'll also be joining some of the greatest names in comic book history as a contributor to this fantastic series. Yes, I will be drawing a book created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. What an honor.

Having said that, it is still difficult to be leaving Scarlet Spider. This is the book that changed everything in my career. Not only that, but I KNOW it's a really great book. I feel like Chris Yost and I both really did our best work of our comic careers. We hit it off right from the beginning and both pushed each other to be the best we could be. Lucky for you, Chris is staying on the book with the tremendously talented Khoi Pham handling art chores.

Now that I'm finished I feel like I can't just leave the book without giving proper thanks to all the fans that supported it. You guys made the book a hit. And you made me feel great about the hard work I was putting in. It was truly one of the most gratifying experiences of my life. The fans from Houston, Texas especially. Steve Wacker suggested we put the book in your city and you guys rewarded his forward-thinking by supporting the book beyond our wildest imaginations. The visit that Chris and I made to your city was a highlight of my career/life. THANK YOU!

One of my favorite descriptions of Scarlet Spider in reviews was that it was like "an indy book set in the Marvel Universe." I could not agree more. That's how it felt for us working on it. Not that Kaine is a new character, but he is a CHANGED character in a new location. We got to do whatever we wanted and create so much. i think this is an interesting formula for great comics and I hope Marvel does more of it in the future.

In the end, this series was such a hit that it earned me a promotion. Fantastic Four is a flagship title at Marvel and they wanted to put me on it. And of course, it's an opportunity that I can't turn down. But I do feel that Chris and I laid plenty of groundwork for the future of Scarlet Spider...Plenty to keep it a quality book for a long time to come.

And by the by...I still have issue 6 coming out. To be honest, I think it's my strongest work to date. I put everything I had into it. I even inked it myself. And Edgar Delgado's colors are rolling in right now and they are gorgeous. I can't wait to see this thing all put together.

Special thanks to Steve Wacker and Tom Brennan for the opportunity and keeping me organized and on task, Chris Yost for being a badass writer, Marte Gracia and Edgar Delgado for their great colors, Mikey Babinski for slinging some serious ink, Joe Caramagna for slinging some serious letters, and Dan Slott for teeing up this character for us. Thanks to my wife for putting up with the late hours so that we're WAAAAAY behind on our favorite tv shows. And thanks, of course, to the fans.

I'll see you guys on Fantastic Four!

Thanks again,

Ryan

Process stuff on Tumblr

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Stegman) — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 14:39:00 +0000

Hey folks,

I post a lot of process stuff on Tumblr throughout the week. I try to drop at least one drawing a day on there. So if you're interested, check it out at http://ryanstegman.tumblr.com. They're also posted on Instagram. You can follow me there under the name "ryanstegman". Creative, I know.

Here's a roundup of some of the stuff you can expect to see:

Scarlet Spider issue 6 cover!

Avengers vs. X-Men 5 variant cover

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Stegman) — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 17:04:00 +0000

Avengers vs XMen issue 5 variant! Inks by me, colors by Marte Gracia!

Scarlet Spider 5 cover

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Stegman) — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 15:21:00 +0000

The cover to issue 5 of #scarletspider has been solicited! I inked this one myself, colors by Marte Gracia. Now, if you look at the solicit, you will see that Neil Edwards is penciling. This is just for the one issue. Neil will do a great job.

This was planned from the get-go. I just can’t do books in four weeks. The demands of detailed comic art are too much to do on that schedule. So occasionally we will have a fill-in. As Steve Wacker said on the CBR forums:

“Nope I do to! Ryan probably could have gotten 5 done in time, but I made the decision to schedule it this way to save trouble later. Yost then was able to craft a story just for Neil.”

It’s just the way things work. I’m working towards being able to maintain a four week schedule and I’m getting closer. But this is the best way to keep the quality as high as possible.

I’m gonna be on this title for a long time. And it’s going to kick ass all the way through. Every issue.

Woo hoo!

NYCC sketch pre-orders

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Stegman) — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 15:30:00 +0000

Okay, so last week I posted about taking pre-orders for sketches at NYCC. The response was OVERWHELMINGLY in favor of the idea. So, I’m going to open up the list right now. I’ve already taken some pre-orders, and I only want to take 12 so that I can still take some at the show. So get in ASAP if you’re interested!

The sketches are on 9 x 12 and they are ink with some marker. They cost $100.

Email me at stegmanr at gmail dot com if you’re interested and I’ll give you my paypal info assuming that I still have openings.

Thanks to everyone who replied last week prompting me to take pre-orders! You were a huge help.

Ryan
