Love it when you post your own artwork. Not too shabby for a freehand drawing. And I think the logo looks better slanted. LOL
Motley Crue, eh? Okay, I can roll with that. Can I be the one that gets Pam Anderson (oh, but not the Poison guy). LOL
Had to post a comment just because you referenced one of my favorite movies. It's the least I could do for anyone who can work the phrase prima nocta into a comic art description. Alba gu bràth!
I don't remember seeing these up for auction. I'm sure I would have gone for this one if I had. Also, neither of these are in the three sketchbooks I have so they have been done for the next issue. I might have guessed they were from earliers issues than the three I have, but they're both dated 2026, so probably the next book. Anyway, I this is a great one. Love the posing for both figures.
Interesting interpretation of the scene. There's a phrase that comes to mind. "Well, that's one way to look at it." One could just as easily conclude that the girl is actually attempting to crawl AWAY from the creature, the warrior has his hand extended not as a cowering gesture but to discourage the creature from harming the girl, and the creature is neither enraged nor offended but just reacting instinctively as mindless creatures are wont to do. But that's just me spitballing. LOL! Great piece buddy!
Nice inks and fun action page. Love the silhouette down at the bottom. You should see about tracking down the pencil art for this one.
Beats the heck out of anything in MY Hembeck collection. So cool. Hmm, I wonder if he still has that AOL address?
But only because you were thinking that Fred might draw her on a card, right? I mean, that's the ONLY reason you would want your wife in this outfit. Right? Right Duke? Hello? Hey, snap out of it!
Okay, but I'm not gonna be Ringo. I don't care if I AM the shortest one in the bunch.
This was DC's answer to Subby's black costume. It also came with a new haircut and dye job.
Wow! And this probably cost a little less than the one on HA.
Love the description. Although it sounds like you've been hanging around with Rick too long. LOL! Anyway, you've got a great eye for these Hembecks. Love all your choices so far.
Haha! Honestly? I think you were the only one who was actually keeping count. So I HAD to shout you out. But I really did appreciate you trying to keep track. Ha! Anyway, the joke was getting old so it was time.
So were these backup stories? When did they start? I pretty much left the book after Grell stopped drawing it. So if it started after that issue, I probably missed it. Also wasn't there a separate Barren Earth title? My DC history is pretty shabby.
Hmm, well, yes and no. My "comfort zone" for these Hembeck cards is probably $50 or less. So I'm not sure if I would consider this a bargain, personally. And this may not be a very popular statement, but while these are highly collectible and desirable pieces, at the same time, we're not exactly talking Ditko or Miller art here. Also keep in mind that Fred has done hundreds and hundreds of these. Additionally, while they always say 1 of 1 on the back, he does recycle through the characters and will eventually do some characters over and over again. I do absolutely agree that he should get more than his minimum starting bids. But that said, when we start creeping into the $100 range for some of these, that's probably where I back off. Honestly, if I would have known it was you, I probably wouldn't have gone as high as I did. But thanks for making me go over my comfort zone buddy. Maybe I can return the favor someday. LOL
Just paying it forward buddy. That's one of the great things about CAF. You get turned on to an artist you didn't know before, then end up buying and posting a piece that in turn gets the attention of someone else who wasn't familiar with the artist. This site generates so many wonderful ripple effects for our hobby.
Now there's a version of WW that you definitely don't want to mess iwth. Love the big 80's hair.
What does it take for someone to become the definitive artist for a particular character? Some sort of monstrously epic run would probably go a long way in establishing that. Take John Buscema and Conan. Has any other artist drawn Conan as many times as John? Has anyone even come close? Well over a hundred regular issues, a handful of Annuals, a few Giant-size and Movie Special books, a couple of Treasury Editions, two ongoing B&W magazines, and assorted pinups, posters, prints, portfolios, and calendar illustrations. I'll go out on a limb and say that if you add up ALL the other artists who have ever drawn Conan, it STILL wouldn't add up to how many times Buscema has drawn him.
Which brings up to Rick Leonardi. I don't know about you, but I just can't imagine anyone else drawing Cloak & Dagger. Yes, I know other people have. But they just never feel right. Rick really defined the look and feel of these characters. And he managed to do that after only a 4-issue miniseries, 11 issues of the subsequent monthly book, and a dozen plates from a killer portfolio.
I think this page comes from the final issue of the 1988 series (of which he only drew the last two issues) which was then retitled into a new series in 1990 but continued the issue numbering. Rick only drew 5 of the comibined 19 issues, but that was more than enough to make us miss his art on these characters.
Man oh man oh man! Just looking at this and having all the great tag lines from the movie pop into my head. Just a fantastic piece from a great, great, movie. I could nitpick and whine about Burke not being included, but it's so hard to complain about anything with this drawing. I love Ripley front and center, hovering over Newt in that protective way. I love Hudson, Drake, and Vasquez being featured as they were the standouts among the Marines. And I love Bishop being placed in such a strategic way so his "guts" could be properly displayed. Haha! Yeah, the Queen is a bit obscured in view, but again, minor nitpick. I don't know where you got this, but you're lucky I didn't see it before you did. Awesome, awesome, piece bro!
Gosh darn it Rick! Now I have a Baywatch theme earworm! Thanks for nothing buddy!
Yeah, he was really cool about the sketchbooks. I meant to buy #4 and #5 on eBay when he put them up, but I dragged my foot about it and they disappeared. Then he offered a remarqued copy of #5 that I grabbed. I had been waiting for the newest one which was #6 and grabbed that too when he finally posted it. But when he didn't offer #4 again, I actually reached out to him through eBay and he immedidately messaged me back and then posted a buy-it-now for #4 which I grabbed. Very cool guy. Anyway, the books are great. 45 pages with 90 illustrations. And of course it's fun looking up my pieces in the books.
I'm just happy that these things are closer in cost to a bag of potato chips than to a house payment. Plus I finally proved that I CAN eat just one. Take THAT Lays!
I'm not at all trying to be clever here, but I swear to you that the first thought that popped into my head was, this is FANTASTIC!
I'm not a DC guy so I have no idea who any of these guys are, except for the Flash. Did I read that right, the big guy in that top panel is called Chunk? I love it.
Quite the Hembeck one-two punch. I was eye balling this one. I love it when Fred really puts the work in. Very nice detailing here. Watch out everyone, Jim is on the Hembeck train.
Probably not since Frazetta have I seen artwork this pretty. If only he could have been with us a little longer. What additional wonders he could have created. You are a lucky, lucky, man.
Nice to see the page without the word balloons or sound effects interfering with the visuals.
Yes he does, if you don't count his Michael Jackson phase in the 80s. Haha! Seriously though, Mark is a good guy. I met him at one of my very first SD ComicCons (when it was still at the old venue). He even gave me the phone number for his office at Continuity. I actually called him a couple of times and had some nice conversations. Very friendly, warm, soft spoken guy. I've been seeing these drawings pop up on eBay as well and it actually puts a smile on my face to see he's still drawing. Sexy and fun Vampi piece. Nice impulse buy my friend.
So they got you too? Every time these come up for auction, I get an HA alert. So I'm sure it's just a matter of time before I end up with one. LOL! At least you got one where he's eating. But I'm going to hold out for a lasagna one.
Sorry about the eyestrain buddy. You're just lucky that the CAF redesign didn't include a character increase for the description field. I've been asking Bill for one for years, but I guess even he has his limits when it comes to reading my descriptions. Ha!
As for the image, you're right, the scan doesn't do it justice. But I try. Not sure if anyone else does this but before I post any image on my CAF, I always hold the original up to the screen image to see them side by side. If they don't match, I tweak the scan until it's as close to the original as I can get it. Of course this is fairly pointless since I'm only matching it on MY screen. Everyone else will be looking at it from their own screen which probably won't match. I learned this pretty quick when I posted something from home and then when I looked at it again from my work computer, it looked totally different. Haha!
Always cool and fun when something personal to you is referenced in popular culture. I remember how thrilled I was when my tiny town was referenced in both The Rock and Star Trek IV ("It's where they keep the nuclear wessels").
Nice to have Wonder Woman, Vixen, Gypsy, and Dolphin guest starring on your Maxima page.
If it's the former, you're welcome. If it's the latter, well, you're still welcome. LOL
The linework here is sublime. Rude was the indies answer to Paul Smith.
The pun made me wince but at least you should get points for looking up the word. LOL
If you like the striping effect here, there's an old Paul Gulacy piece in my SOLD section where he does the same thing but even better and to an extreme degree. Kind of makes me wish I still had it.
Allred is another glaring void in my collection. Thanks for inspiring me to remedy that.
Heck, I don't even have a Byrne-Austin example. How is it that someone who doesn't even collect or care about the art, have one? Life just isn't fair. Haha!
Another great example of why watercolors are my favorite painted medium. I love the 3-color palette here. Just reds, greens, and some yellow. That's really all you need. When it comes to Doc, you gotta nail that cape. And here, it almost steals the show. Congrats buddy!
Wow! A rare super hero drawing by Hoffman. And my favorite character to boot. Very, very, cool.
Agreed. Using a dedicated media to distinguish between organic and inorganic was brilliant. The more you pull back, the more you see the added dimension of layering it provides the viewer for discerning the difference between flesh and fabric.
