Description
Realized I never posted this one and thought now would be a good time :) First of 2 Moon Knight posts today. Watched the first episode of the Disney MCU series, and I’ll say, I’m intrigued.

Fun piece by Wilfredo Torres. Commissioned him at Heroes Con 2017 while also picking up a couple published Black Panther pieces (see in my gallery). I knew him solely from his BP work at the time, not knowing he had actually worked on MK prior. If I remember right, he mentioned he liked drawing MK when I asked about specific characters he liked drawing – I had only one MK piece at that point, so I said “go!” These days Wilfredo is doing work for DC, specifically Superman ’78, a story in the continuity of the original Christopher Reeves flicks.

It’s always cool with Moon Knight, how at times you can almost be “drawing” everything BUT the character. At least in a way. The white on MK here is the actual board, whereas the black shrouded face and black background are where you see the actual inks. Of course you got the dividing lines, too, throughout the figure. I like the touch of silver spatter throughout, particularly on the all black face. That paired with no eyes shown provides a kind of creepy cool, void-ish, vibe. Check out some of Wilfredo’s work online – one of those “less is more” artists, which ain’t easy pull off!

2017 was my only Heroes Con but I’m planning to hit it again for a second in 2022! Hope to see y’all there!

Really enjoying Torres work! Loved some of his stuff on the recent Superman book.

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette black and white
Dressed in your best whity tights
Instead of eyes, the darkness of a hole

Constrast on the page
Fills me with po-si-tive rage
'Cause I'd learned at a certain age
Love for all things chiaroscuroooo

But Spector didn't knoooow, four different personalities
So he suffered with insanity
And somehow he tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Welcome to Arkham nooooow

Ooh I love that song!  Well done with the alternate lyrics!  Rhyming Chiaroscuro (even with a near rhyme) is no easy task.  And "whity tights"...haha!!

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week, two shows per day,  opening for Marcus Wai!

Nice!!  Giving Mr. Wai a run here.  "chiaroscuroooo" - love that!  And made me wonder...has that word ever been used in a song?!  In any case, kudos on using it here.  And yes - whity tights.  I do like it better than tighty whites :)  

Appreciate the lyrical treatment on one of my adds, man.  Keep 'em comin'!  The bar has been set high :)

What a wicked take here as well! The void face here is truly the stealer of the piece as it emphasizes both his heroic and anti heroic tendencies. So jealous!

Yes, exactly!  You don't know what you got with this guy, which is definitely a part of the character.  As F M says below, kind of haunting.  Spector the specter!  Ooh, not bad.  Just came to me.  Thanks Nash, and all, for the comments.  Always appreciated!

The flecks really give the piece depth. Like snow. Very cool. Drawing that entire figure negative is a great concept, and it looks great. That's one hell of a commission! And agreed on the series. I really liked the first episode. Great and timely piece. Congrats!

Marc is never Marc to all
You’re Grant never ever leave
Without leaving a piece of truth

And our lives are disorder changed
He’s intriguing all the same
The more you change, the less Khonshu

Believe
Lockley in me
Believe, believe

Moon Knight can change
Identity remains
We're not the same, Werewolves sent
By Night
Moon Knight

Wilfredo bright
Moon Knight
Tonight

The night under the cowl is a great touch.  Batman can't do that!

Also cool. The absence of face makes for a haunting image.

Beauty!  Love the concept of this one and the black undermask makes this one for me (again :) ).  Completely am head-over-heels about the less-is-more approach (it looks like a Jeff Smith Moon Knight!).  Another beautiful add, K!  Big congrats!

A lovely figure by Mr. Torres, with a brilliant face.  Khonshu would approve. Well done, my friend!

Or lack of face, lol, but I agree - brilliant, however you look at it!  Khonshu stamped :)  Thanks for the comments, A!

Very intriguing piece. Is the negative space the white? Or is it the black? 🤔 Is Moon Knight even there at all? 🤨
