RYAN OTTLEY

I did this over ten years ago in response to all the Marvel superheroes getting the Skottie Young baby hero treatment on several variant covers. And since we didn’t have any Invincibabies, I thought I’d make some. I’m no Skottie, so my cartooning isn’t the best, mine reside in the uncanny valley a bit, so yeah, it’s kinda creepy and weird, I get it. But it exists. And I give it to you. I had my friend Derek Hunter (Adventure Time artist for the show) do the coloring for this.

I’m willing to bet, in an alternate Universe where an evil Invincible is from, Conquest is living peacefully with his dogs in the mountains of Utah. He’s given up the violent life. But he still eats raw hearts, he buys cow hearts from the butcher like a normal person.

I dare you.

@ssunheejippery Roberts works on both. It’s all canon.

@RyanOttley does battle beasts characterization of conquest go off the additions the show gave or is it going off solely the original comics

…so lonely.

I drew him old and out of shape. And I draw many characters with a more cartoony stretchy vibe compared to even the animation. The animation faces are much more structurally sound. My take is a stylistic quick choice. But there are many shots where I draw him not scared of pissed off. Find those shots. There are many.

@RyanOttley I think he means how Cecil constantly looks scared or weird in the comics compared to the show where he looks stoic

Completely disagree! Cecil was not a joke in the book. Just because he overlooks a huge problem like Conquest and how he responds in the book, doesn’t mean he is a joke. But it does make that scene somewhat funny since he really really messed up on that one. I loved how Robert shows Cecil’s successes of hiring villains, it’s just this one he was getting way too confident.

@yungef1official They never think that. I’ve tried that. So many assume everything I draw for fun is also a spoiler.

@RyanOttley Ryan I love you but you probably could’ve just posted this without any context and fans who haven’t reached this point yet would probably just think it was a fun drawing of robot killing Cecil 😭😂😂 love the drawing tho 🔥🔥

Spoilers on this next commission. If you haven’t read Invincible, just walk on. Nothing to see here.

Commissions are somewhat tricky to obtain. 3 options. Option 1:I did open up a private signing with @CGCComics a while ago, where fans can send in books they want signed, remarks they want on the book, and also the chance to get a full commission on blank covers. That is closed now. Option 2: come early to a convention I am attending, and see if I have available slots open. Option 3: follow my whatnot channel, and when I do a livestream, we auction off 1 commission. Winners choice. So those are the three rare options. There’s also the option of finding my work being sold by others on EBay or heritage auction house. That includes commission work I’ve done in the past, but I also see a lot of my original covers and pages at those places too. That’s the best I can do for now! My main priority is making comics! So that’s where most of my time goes. Thank you for the interest! I wish I had time for more. But for now, those are the best options.

@kieranv05 @BruceSelina1940 @ereshkigvl @githwanki It doesn’t work?! Well that is lame.

@BruceSelina1940 @ereshkigvl @githwanki @RyanOttley Nah it's just Twitter being ass and buggy in general as usual. I already read the comic so idrc, but the image was already revealed and the hide button ain't even working anyway 💀

@FogTayger White/red is way better in my opinion.

@RyanOttley Why is it no blue? I remember you tweeting that the comic suit was blueish. I wonder which color you prefere better. Blue or white. By the art here I'm going to go with white?

Omni-man commission on an Invincible 1 blank. From my CGC private signing.

@Super__Dexter Insert laughter here.

@RyanOttley Insert blue costume joke

In 2023, I collaborated with Skybound Games to help define the look of Invincible VS, working on Invincible concepts and his battle damage. Stayed true to @ryanottley’s work while pushing the rendering a bit. Props to @3daneder and the team, can't wait to play it! #invincible

Final touches on another CGC commission. Almost done with these commissions from my private signing. BATTLE BEAST!!

@CurateHumanism Most Amazon content stays as streaming only.

@RyanOttley I don’t have Prime! Looking forward to a physical release

Episode 7. Today! So fun to see Thragg throw down in motion.

Also out today in comic shops across America. INVINCIBLE UNIVERSE: BATTLE BEAST 8! Along with a Gert variant cover celebrating I HATE FAIRYLAND! This issue reads quick, lots of action, takes me longer to draw, but faster to read. I won’t post art from the inside yet, I’ll give some time, get the issue, catch up. I’ll post some of my original art pics later. But in the meantime, here’s some shots of the original art for my covers compared to the comics.

Yes, for those that haven’t heard this nugget of Invincible trivia, Filip Schaff in the comic was based on a drawing by Cory that Robert gave me before I started drawing issue 10, and told me that was Cory’s design for Filip Schaff. But really it was just a drawing Cory did of himself to make fun of himself, it was never intended to be a design for anything. I had no idea what Cory looked like since I hadn’t met him yet. So I just said ok and drew the book with this Filip Schaff design. Robert’s prank was successful, Cory was surprised! 😆 Then when season 2 was being made, Robert and Cory secretly decided to make Filip Schaff look like me instead. So once the storyboard/animatic was made, Robert kept asking me if I saw the new animatic, I was like no, I’ve been busy with this comic deadline but I’ll watch it soon, why? He said “just let me know when you’ve seen it.” So I watched it, and I laughed pretty hard at that one. Well played, Robert and Cory!
