This was one of the first pieces I spotted on DeviantArt before I was even a member of the site. Here is the Darkhawk Marvel Masterpieces 2008 Sketch Card by Danny Kuang. Darkhawk is decked out in classic gear, straight from Manley’s initial design.. The color pallette is also great in this piece and really captures a different New-York-at-night feel I haven’t seen before.

Here are Danny’s comments about the piece:

Captain America was one of my favorite pieces from my batch of 50 sketch cards. This here, Darkhawk, was also one of my favorites and it was also the last card I did so I actually took extra time to do Darkhawk because well…it was the end.

I threw in a lot of things in this card, but I particularly like the big green and glowing “KUANG” building. :D Besides I grew up in the 80′s and Darkhawk was a “rookie card” in the Marvel Trading Cards Series 2 back in 1991…good times..good times.

I actually remember being totally excited about Darkhawk having a Rookie Card in the 1991 set. I even put on in a protective hardcase… now I’ve misplaced my stack of “unique” cards post-moves here and there over 20 years. Hell… now there’s Ebay though!
