David and Galactus

Velocity Comic's latest competition was "How I Beat The Sh!t out of...," giving everyone free reign to take down whatever character they want. I immediately thought of Galactus, a god-like being that devours entire planets. He's been killed off in the comics before, but it was always through some type of multiverse collapse or all-powerful weapon. While debating back and forth on how I would take down Galactus, I thought of the story of David and Goliath, a classic underdog tale. I thought it would be a more powerful image if I killed Galactus with something as simple as a slingshot. Below are the final inks and final image, David and Galactus.


The contest ends today, so hopefully the winner will be announced by the end of the week. Until then, keeping the figurative fingers crossed and working on the next project. What will it be? I have no idea. That's where all artwork starts...with no idea.
