About Me
- Name: EJ Morges
- Location: New Rochelle, New York, United States
I have a lot of different interests. I love Women! I dig Comics though I haven't collected in a long time. I used to love drawing but I have a better feel for graphic design lately. I was born in Arkansas and grew up in California and now live in New York. For the better part of my life I have wanted to be a comic book illustrator but have never really gotten myself together to reach that dream. My only claim to being a professional was a small press (creator owned) comic called "The Snake" which was released in 1994 through Anubis Press. It was horrible.

I think Stryker here is my favorite of your Cyber Force pics. I like the detail you've put into his mechanical arms - much better than the simple "arm with some lines" that a lot of artsist do (Rob Liefeld, I'm talking to you). You seem to excel at tough guys with cut physiques (as well as busty chicks with cut physiques of course). Ever done a Batman?
Thanks for the nice comment.
Yeah! I have done a couple of Batman related images, Both of them crappy:
Trinity JSA-JLA
Captain America Vs. Batman
These images are really shit though, the First was done last year some time when I was heavy on the Comic Bloc Forums. The JSA characters were the ones that I thought fit the mold for "Trinity" on the JSA side of things.
The Cap-Bat was done for a Draw off at the DW Boards about 5 years ago and it won. I thik that drawing is shit now bit I was happy enough with it then to enter it into the contest.
Thanks for asking and thanks for the comment again.

Wow. I like that Captain A / Batman pic a lot. Cap's supposed to be the pinical of human physical achievment, so your ability to draw a dense, muscular physique really fits. I always saw Batman's outfit as more of a uniform than a costume, so the muscles on him seem a bit out of place. I love the late '80s giant ears though.
As for the other pic, I dig your take on Superman. You've made him really handsome, almost pretty -which makes him sort of a like a modern Greek God. Of course, you draw the best Power Girl in the biz, though I noticed you toned down her chest. Too bad, PG is one of those characters that everyone draws really busty. I think your work is at it's best when it's really bold and ballsy anyway. To me, wreckshop means ripped guys and hot babes.
For the most part, the overhead persepctive works, though I think Captain Marvel is a little wonky. Keep up the great work.
The 80's giant ears are from the master Bernie Wrightson. I think that his Batman is pinnacle, menacing and brutishly intimidating, the version that will stick with me forever. To bad I don't draw Batman like he does though.
Superman is looking Super Fem in that drawing, I don't know why everyone is afraid to say so. He really looks like he wears panties & high heals. That's why I hate this drawing so. Batman looks like a twat too. as a mater of fact the only character that is hardcore is Mr. Terrific and even he is messed up. All of the perspective on the figures is completely convoluted. Something that I have to work on if I ever want to go pro.
I have to apologize for the Powergirl minuscule measurements, I really don't know what I was thinking when I did this drawing. It's downright blasphemous!
This is a great theme however and it's something that I may have to take time to revisit and re-do at some point.
Thanks for asking and thanks for sharing your thoughts, you make have some really solid points, I really appreciate it.

The Cult, right? Yeah, that was a cool series.
I don't have the whole thing, I should see if there is a Trade of it somwhere.
