Beautiful piece. The transformation is pulsating from the page. Congrats!

Thanks so much, Ian!  He simply caught it just right with a brilliant use of colors as well.

This was the best of the bunch, and that's really saying something.

Posted on 4/7/2023

Dear Steve, many thanks!  And I totally agree.  I did, in fact, obtain another one as well but this was clearly this most striking of all of them.

Cover-worthy, right down to the green socks!

Many thanks, Rick!  That was the exact same thought that struck me as well - which is why I tried my best to get it (and was successful just, I think).

you picked the best from the bunch, awesome piece!!

Posted on 4/7/2023

Many thanks, Steve!  It was truly the best of the art drop and I was so glad to have gotten it.

Great dynamics to this piece, and easily one of the tops of the drop. Congrats!

Many thanks, Andre.  Yes, as many have pointed out, it was one of the best in the art drop - a simply stunning piece indeed!

Incredible Hulk!

That is incredible CAB!  Congrats!

Many thanks, Nick!  Like Andy, succinct - but even more so!

This was right at the top of that wonderful drop! Incredible pick-up!

Thanks so much, Mikail!  Yes, it must have been extremely popular and I wasn't sure that I could get it.

Best piece from this round of 99 and Mike McKone had a lot of stunners. Congrats CAB!

Posted on 4/8/2023

Thanks so much - coming as it does from such a consummate Hulk collector!  Yes, there were indeed (I managed to get another one as well).

This is a fantastic transformation drawing. Congrats!!!! 8 )

Thanks so much, Joe!  I trust that you are keeping well!

Beyond all the technical aspects of composition and color, it really delves into the original Jekyll and Hyde concept!  

1 - Posted on 4/8/2023

Thanks very much, Marcus!  Yes, it is the execution itself that brings out that concept so vividly.  And it is difficult to do this subtly in color as well.

OH! I was flabbergasted when I saw this one during the drop. So thrilled to know YOU ended up with it. It's incredible, truly! Congratulations!

Many thanks, Rubén!  There were so many extremely nice pieces but this really stood out.  More than that, it seemed to me such a marvellous as well as nuanced execution (and in color to boot) of the transformation process.  As someone mentioned, it could easily be a cover.  I am so glad that I was quick enough to obtain it (perhaps Felix art drops (which I'm quite often unsuccessful at, BTW) gives one good practice!).

1 - Posted on 4/8/2023

Congrats Great pick! Glad you got to this before me as I was able to get the next best one that suits my collection snikt!! 

Posted on 4/8/2023

Many thanks!  Thank goodness it wasn't a Hulk vs. Wolverine Pin-Up!  Congrats on your artwork.

Always love a good Hulk transformation image! 

Posted on 4/9/2023

Many thanks, Jason!  This is one of the best Hulk transformation images I have come across (but I am, of course, biased!).

This is Gorgeous ...CONGRATS !

Many thanks, Jamo!  And many congrats on a very impressive CAF Gallery.

Mike's color work always excels (duh), and so often it's because of the friction he creates with his excellent choices of hues... The Hulk is sort of cheating already because he has green and purple "built in" to any image, but here he leans into the greens, and the piece just soars because of it!  Or perhaps that's just the geiger counter?  I mean, the whole thing just -screams- radioactive.  It's as full of rads as it is of Rad! I love to play these transformation pieces backwards, and watch Bruce's clothes mend themselves as he shrinks down.  Highly recommended! :) And I -LOVE- the McKone Hulk!  I mean, look at that face!  Beautiful (and Mike was even able to keep the teeth white among all that green!  Hulk may not know control, but Mike is a master at it)!  Another outstanding pick up, CAB!  Congrats!

Dear Jason, thanks so much for your characteristically perceptive comments.  Yes, the application of color in such a skilful manner adds so very much to the piece as a whole.  It is just a beautifully executed piece of artwork and I am so glad to have been able to obtain it.

1 - Posted on 4/20/2023

Mike is one of my favorite color artists - his color work (in addition to pencil/ink) is always gorgeous. Add in my favorite character and I am absolutely blown away. Congrats - thanks for sharing on CAF so I can come visit periodically!

Many thanks, Dave!  This is high as well as generous praise coming from the master himself!

Absolutely stunning Hulk Transformation painting! Stunning work by Mike McKone! It really gives you the sensation of seeing Bruce Banner change into the Hulk! Love the multiple images of the ongoing transformation and I love the color! Fantastic pin-up!

Posted on 4/20/2023

Many thanks, Bill!  I have viewed many Hulk transformation pages but I agree that this is on another planet.  It is a truly wonderful piece.

The green here has taken on epic proportions, beautiful art. 

Posted on 4/24/2023

Thanks very much  Inominável!  Yes, the coloring for this piece is just spot on!
