Inktober 2026 #21: Hero

A black and white illustration of a broad, disproportionate, muscley man wearing a superhero costume. The man is standing in a typical superhero pose, with feet apart, hands on hips, and chest out. The costume is a sheer, light colored material and includes a darker bottom, boots, and a cape. The man has a pale complexion, a very large cleft chin, and a coil of black hair on his head. He is smiling broadly, and his eyes are squinted shut. The costume has a large 'R' on the front, with a tiny syringe stuck in the top curve of the letter. The background is dark gray with a faint glow behind the man.

Today's Inktober prompt is "hero", and I really didn't want to draw a dude in a cape for it... but I did, because my other idea (drawing a sandwich in a cape) sounded even less fun. 😆

With that out of the way, I present 'Roid Man! He's here to do all your local hero stuff in the most pointlessly violent way possible.

That's three weeks of Inktober done!

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Inka brush for linework, and the Gouache brush and Soft air brush for shading.

If you'd like to see how I drew this one, you can watch the time-lapse below:
