Meanwhile...

Hello if your still out there in the inter-web!

Sorry it's been awhile since I last updated. (Various conspiring factors that I won't bore you with!).

Anyway I thought I'd (re)preview some of the upcoming issues...

The beautiful yet controversial Gamora. Went with this cover as it was the best full page shot of her available (yes I know she is being controlled by the Phalanx in this pic, but c'mon it's amazing! and yes I know a lot of you wanted her figurine in this costume, but having just read through all of her comic appearances I feel I made the right decision - just.

Another Andie Tong winner. He seems to be evolving into a more naturalistic painted style (even though it's all digital).

 

Robert Atkins supplies the goods for Stingray...

Andie Tong 'heralds' a new era of greatness... (geddit?)

Dene Mason's Spidey 2099 gets the full turnaround treatment...

Hopefully I'll return sooner than later.

Au revoir mon Marvélites!

Skurge in inglorius colour

SLIGHT TECHNICAL HITCH!
For those who wondered why the lights went out, the account was accidently de-activated by me.
But it's back now.

phew!

I'm sure all you conspiracy theorists out there had your own ideas why it went down?

adieu.

Hi peops here are the Skurge paints, it's got a nice realism to it...

Grrrrrrrrr!!!!!

Andie Tong's Constrictor cover roughs...

We went with this one. Looking forward to the full masterpiece!

BTW here's my mock-up for Diamond Previews Catalog (I had to supply them a cover way before we actually commissioned it!) Nice piece by Ed McGuiness from official toy packaging, doesn't really work as a CMFC cover as his hand goes under the logo too much, but it was perfect for a mock-up.

I actually tried to order the hi-res art file from Marvel, but they didn't have it - I suppose it's held by the toy company (?) I would have used it for page 2...

...here's the toy packaging...

...and here's the actual google image of the inks that I coloured up for my mock -up (interesting to see it was originally drawn the other way round and they flipped it!)

Bye for now. Dan

The final piece of the puzzle

aka 'Hela 'va good show old chap' – Mad Thinker

Well, it finally came in – Hela in all her deathly magnificence!
