There's something very charming about this illustration. The delicacy of the linework provides just enough information to give the viewer a sense of place and allows the mind to fill in the gaps.
I was thinking about that scene in Time bandits where the supreme being says,"Return what you have stolen from me!
I remember this book fondly. The second to last panel with Black Bolts brother is one of my favorites.
Well, you seem to have all of the pertinent details! The only thing I can add is that this was the cover, and not an interior.
It's an absolutely amazing piece of art by the King. Thank you for sharing.
This piece is amazing; the balance of value, detail, and characterization is superb. Marvel should make cards and posters of this image.
It's such a strong page with great design and execution. I would like to see Rafa's development process.
I haven't read the series, but as for design, this is nice.
I'm utterly stunned by the line control in this recreation. The original piece, I believe, was created using a printing process that converts value created with washes into a line pattern, a mezzotint, or something similar. However, the recreation is done by hand! The artist's control and commitment are fantastic.
A surreal bit of imagery, I find myself wondering about the story.
It's an excellent piece; I had the chance to see it in person back in the mid-90s. An art dealer was selling dozens of Bolland originals, including several Animal Man covers, many of the hand-painted ones in addition to the black and white, and some Judge Dredd Art from the U.S. reprints.* That art changed my life. There's nothing like seeing a Bolland in person.
Regarding the inking credit, I remember that Jennifer Capriati was a famous tennis player whose career peaked in the 90s. I don't know why her name would be on the art, but I don't believe that anyone but Bolland touched the art (except for the paste-up question mark, perhaps. We all know that editorial thinks they know better than the artist).
* At that time, most of the Bolland originals were going for $500.00; none were more than $1,000.00.
These pages are exquisite—so much depth done with silhouettes.
I'm amazed at how much detail you're able to put into these. Also, you're colors really pop! Great effort!
It's a beautiful piece, to be sure. Strangely, Charest opted to go digital, as speed is the primary benefit of working digitally, but it hasn't hastened his progress.
Rivoche's design and illustration work on this property was world-class; his graphics created a sense of place.
Nice piece; I can see the McFarlane influence! That's an impressive size to work at, too
