THE SUPER VILLAINS - KING SHARK

 

            I present here some of the characters that appear in my new artbook The Super Villains recently published by my French publisher Idées Plus.

        This character is a true villain: King Shark from Suicide Squad / DC Comics. You can see the work in progress from the stages of my pencil drawing to the coloring of Niina Xan, who has colored quite a few of my drawings for this book.
