Description
Elektra
Convention Sketch, 2004
Art by David Mack

No sais or swords on this 21 year old convention sketch by David Mack from 2004, but I like his use of negative space and loose flowful inks (using Japanese Sumi Ink, I believe) on this unique sketch of Elektra Natchios from 2004.

The only other piece by Mack that I have is a sketch inside a Kabuki hardcover.

This one fits the bill for my collection and is on a full 11 x 17 size board. Plus, it was cheap! I'll just imagine the sais when I look at it ;-p

I like to think she is carrying two pizza pies as she walks toward me. Hey it's my dream, I can picture what I like.

I'm leaning towards a warm embrace.

You can still hug while carrying pizzas. She is a ninja after all.

I love these pieces in which the artist is thinking in terms of the negative space. The lush brush work is tops!

Kind of Sienkiewicz-ey

What Elektra would you rather be knocked unconscious by; Jennifer Garner or Elodie Yung?

Negative sais. Great piece, their brush work is always so interesting to look at. Plus cheap is good!

Thats a beautiful Elektra from Mack! Really like the looseness of the inks, and I see it as she has her sais as just outside the margins of the board!

Tell Elektra
When are we going the sais?
Is this Kabuki,
For nineteen ninety-nine?

All I wanted to do
Was say Elektra in ink

Negative space
I don't mind
Your ninja promised me
I'll need Mack and sais
Gotta get Mack and sai

Some artists lay down line after line of meticulous detail and extravagant crosshatching to to bring a character to life, while other artists put down a few lines and stop. Interesting contrast. But I have to admit that an illustration as simple as this still says a lot about the character. I admire the simplicity David Mack used here. Interesting that he uses a black background to delineate Elektra's head plus a few lines for her facial features but when he draws her arms, he simply draws the cloth strips she wears around her arms and nothing else. It's kinda awesome. BTW, I gotta add I love Mack's signature. Fascinating pick-up, congrats!

Wicked! This just screams Mack and the use of negative space with the outfit is soft but elequent. Congrats Kavi!

Nice vintage sketch by Mack! I don't beleive he sketches at conventions anymore so this could be quite rare.
