Description

IC3 pre-show commission!!!

To paraphrase Gandalf, there are older and fouler things than Namor in the deep places of the world. As Earth's foremost oceanographer, Stingray is uniquely aware of this. Imagine being drawn to a light shining out in the darkness only to be drawn into the literal jaws of death of a giant and potentially very old anglerfish.

Anderson's propensity for creating bizarre creatures is on full display here. Just look at the layering of ink and paints and markers that build up to create the lumpy, textured flesh of the monstrous anglerfish. I love the subtle lines around the bioluminescent light (which glows in the dark) at the end of the antenna beckoning prey to come hither. Stingray cuts an impressive figure even in retreat. He uses his wings to slice through the water and escape, leaving a trail of bubbles in his wake. The mixture of technique and expert use of color really make this deep sea commission pop!

Chris told me that he broke out his air brush for this commission. Inks, markers, and Dr. Martin dyes on 12x18 board.

Chris Anderson is known for his Masters of the Universe bootleg comics and is currently working on his new book, 'Three Headed Pig-Man' over on his Patreon. You can find his comics and other socials through his website:

that is one scary as hell anglerfish! really digging the mixed media elements of color and the airbrush especially. the color of the water looks so inviting but in the depths lies the darkness!

Beautiful piece! The angelfish looks terrifying, Stingray looks great and the water just looks incredible! Chris definitely pulled out all the stops in this one!!

I think Anderson must've been inspired by that video footage that captured an anglerfish swimming near surface recently. That creature is SCARY UGLY!

A deep dive into Chris Anderson's talent! Three planes of depth and three styles used. Stingray gets the most flashy comicbook treatment in line and color. The anglerfish gets even more complex in color and texture. And finally the dense ocean waters illuminated by the angler show the high pressure currents at play. An ocean of delights!

The color and perspective here are both spot on, but it's the scale of the anglerfish that I absolutely love. Such a menacing design to it as well. Stingray has his work cut out for him with this beauty :)
