Well, I'll have to sacrifice some other stuff first. If I get it, I think I'll ask for some work on the backgrounds.

Conan saga 3 cover redo

Comment posted on 12/24/2009
Thanx! And thank you for posting the wonderful prelim. It's difficult to see how good the drawing is at this size, though. I think I'll upload a closeup.

Conan Saga 5 Inked
Owner: Ian McCormick

Comment posted on 12/13/2009
Thanx. Actually, I think the scanned image is not fair at all to the 11x17 drawing. Do you mind if I upload a side-by-side comparison with your prelim?

Wow. The piece is really impressive, but Paul Smith's cyclops is simply amazing.

Klaus: John Corbu as Wolverine in the Sewer (after byrne and austin)
Owner: Ian McCormick

Comment posted on 11/15/2009
Thanks. Glad to hear it, because it's one of my most beloved pieces. I couldn't believe it when I saw it: FrancoBelgian style and byrne's x-men put together in the same piece. Also, I love the atmospheric qualities provided by the pencils. I have a blown-up version of the original panel revisited by Art Kayell hanging on my wall. Maybe I should upload it, too.

Avengers-Byrne+Kayell

Well, having seen Art's own stuff, I know that he has a certain tendency to draw with a sort of engraving style, which means lots of parallel, mechanical lines, and a lot of blacks, too. However, I think that here he's not that far from the way Byrne used to ink himself, albeit in a darker style. It sorta reminds me of John Byrne's inks in his run on The Hulk.

Doom vs. Spidey by Byrne and Kayell
Owner: Ian McCormick

Comment posted on 9/12/2009
Well, I certainly agree. I'd love to see Byrne's stuff restored to that combination of balance and power it had in the mid 80s. That's why I started playing this game with Arthur some years ago.

Thor by Walter Simonson-Inks by Arthur Kayell
Owner: Ian McCormick

Comment posted on 9/4/2009
I'd Say So, Michael. In this case, I asked him for a specific mid-80s-Simonson look. I kinda notice a slight Austin (early Austin) influence. Maybe it's just me. I got a couple more Thor pieces that I'll eventually post.

I'll let him know!. I'm sure he'll appreciate such appraisal coming from you. Unfortunately, I'm afraid this is about the closest to working in comic books I managed to get him. Well, who knows.
