Fan Art Friday: The Punisher
The Punisher
This week for Fan Art Friday I did some Punisher fan art. This last year I have fallen in love with this character. From his story arc in the Netflix daredevil series, and his appearance in the Civil War comics (which I read for the first time last year) I have just seen an extremely flawed character with unbreakable integrity.
There is a specific scene in the comics where the Punisher shows more integrity for what is right than Captain America *the poster child for good. At one point Captain America is just beating the Punisher yelling " FIGHT YOU COWARD ", and he refuses to fight back, saying "not against you". There is something about his black and white view of the world, good and bad, that resonates with me. On one hand he will kill a criminal in an instant, but on the other he refuses to hurt an innocent even when provoked.

The other aspect that I love is his character as portrayed by Jon Bernthal in the Daredevil Netflix series in season 2. He brings such a great life to Frank Castle, and makes you feel for him, even as he is killing countless people. Episode 4 "Penny and a dime" is probably one of the best 40 minutes of cinema I have ever seen. I am sure I don't have to tell you how excited I am for the Punisher series coming to Netflix in about 2 weeks.
This was done with mixed media, charcoal and acrylic paint. The bullets are 22LR rounds that I added for that extra touch

Awesome art work, @saywha.
Same here. He, and also Deadshot, are both misunderstood. That they became mercenaries? Yeah one could think about lesser reasons to become a mercenary than what happened to them. But both have their mission, their own fight, and yet both at many times have backed out of things because... it's vengeance which drives them but not blind hatred.
They are both much more respectable beings than say Hal Jordan. Alright, maybe Hal isn't the best example for this case either. I just mean that their moral compass is absolutely not as flawed as people think it is.
Looks awesome, man! I'm super fucking hyped for Punisher to hit Netflix, especially since there really isn't any other good shows on right now.
What kind of .22lr pistol/rifle do you have? If you don't mind me asking :)?
Mossberg lr22 rifle
Ah, I came really close to buying one of those before but ended up getting a Ruger 10/22 instead because I got a crazy deal on it. How's it treated you thus far?
Nice touch with the bullets and blood. We have a real artist here folks!
Good art bro
I gave this a vote but I think this should be tagged NSFB - the B is for babies. There are innocents out there. Not me per se, but there are some.
I was unaware babies could navigate the internet. #TIL
Not all babies are created equal, all are lovely, but some are smarter than others. Often it comes down to genetics.
Cool. I am into teaching genetically modified cyborg babies to surf the blockchain.
That works out well for me but I must say, I am already quite the surfer, I danced on a book today.
