Is that a drawing of Rick Jones taking a picture of Hulk with his camera phone? Why yes it is. :)

After trying to keep up with the modern versions of Hulk over the last couple of years, I still think that Jack Kirby drew the best Hulk. So that's what my version here is based on. He wasn't overly large back then (in fact he was usually depicted as shorter than Thor while he was in the Avengers) and he had the intelligence of an illiterate high school dropout. So he could string together complete sentences and fully grasped the concept of subjective personal pronouns. Plus his transformations were mostly controlled by a gamma ray device and before that he transformed only at night.

So, all the transforming-when-he-gets-angry, "Hulk smash!" stuff were revisions to the character that were added later on.

Also, Kirby always drew Hulk with a hairy chest and arms, so there is a precedent for that. I just added the hairy legs because it only seemed to make sense.

Pencil on 11x17 Bristol board.

And Hulk is thinking cell phones would not exist for decades...

But seriously, love your style. Both Hulk and Rick look great here. Especially Rick, since he does look like a teenager (well done).

Now, I'm off to see more of your gallery.

Yeah, I kind of went with how Jack Kirby used to always draw the Hulk back in the 60s. He was pretty hairy back then.

A brilliant take on the Hulk there. A mixture of the early versions with a modern (clam shell phones still modern?) twist on it.

I like how you went for trunks rather than ripped jeans. If someone was in control of their changes then being able to 'dress for the occasion' makes sense.

More than anything, thank you for remembering Hulk had body fuzz and mostly Human proportions!

Sublime, the position, and the definition of the body... A great work of muscle and draw.

I pretty much just sketched out the entire drawing first, then used piecemeal photo references for the various body parts. Nothing was really planned out, it all just kind of fell together on it's own.

Thanks!
