“I want that power. By right, it is mine. For ultimate power is the ultimate destiny of Doom.”
Leave it to comicdom’s mad scientist, Eric Canete, to draw Marvel’s greatest mad scientist, Dr. Victor Von Doom. Dr. Doom has one of the most iconic looks to him, yet remains one the more simple of designs. Though, with Canete’s eye, nothing is ever just simple. What Canete has done here with the good doctor is really a visual feast. Showing off Doom in some sort of Kirby-esque contraption.
As always, I’m blown away by Canete’s intricate line work. Especially around the energy from the cannon and background. The feathering on even his mask is even more impressive.
If you’re not following his blog, you are missing out on some great artwork and an intense talent.

I know Canete is sort of a polarizing figure, but I really love his stuff. Funny thing is, if I hadn’t read the post, I would’ve thought this was Walt Simonson. Which is a compliment.

I think he’s excellent in many ways, but his drawings usually look too busy/messy to me. He doesn’t separate the different planes and objects enough, and it gets hard to make out exactly what’s what.

Are you blind? That’s a TERRIBLE drawing. Entirely too busy. Less is more.
