Week 26 - Rachel Summers By Gene Kelly

Another great addition from new comer Gene Kelly... Rachel Summers.

Check out more here.

"This is part of 's Rachel Summers theme this week. I also think of it as a bit of a tribute to Chris Claremont's work as a pioneer of (legitimately) strong female characters in comics. Rachel was part of the British super team Excalibur back in the day, one of my favorite Claremont books... at least until it devolved into a slew of guest artists and crosstime incomprehensibility, lol. But still. Claremont, baby.

Week 25 - Creature from the Black Lagoon By Gene Kelly

Gene Kelly is a new addition to Illustrious Bits (his first entry was during Transformers week!) and he makes a big splash (pun intended, lol) with his entry of the Creature from the Black Lagoon for this week's Movie Monster choice.

Gene also did this in only 20-30 minutes of sketch time . Awesome, huh? This sketch works as another subject for Gene in that over at Rocketbot.com, there is a Sketch-A-Day: Green theme. Check out more of Gene's work over there and also on his Deviant Art page here.

Week 23 - Transformers by Gene Kelly

Hilarious!

This new addition is by new comer Gene Kelly.  Check out more of his stuff over at Deviant Art here.

"There's only one way to settle once and for all the rightful leader of the Decepticons. Only one form of battle worthy of an advanced race of Cybertronian alien beings: dance off.

Another Sketch-A-Day pic for Rocketbot.

As luck would have it  is having a Transformers theme this week too. Go check it out if you feel like drawing some Transformers.
