The Ahern piece does look similar to one of the scenes, I think from Tales of the Spaceknights. It's still very good, though.Antoniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09923302744588502791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-46209082493599857642011-01-02T20:35:43.003-08:002011-01-02T20:35:43.003-08:00this is a portion on an email that was sent to me ...this is a portion on an email that was sent to me this morning that i found interesting and wanted to share with you all. i'm going to protect the identity of this person because they don't want to be labeled as a dick in the comment section:<br /><br />Kerry Gamill is a long-time professional comics artist and that piece of his (dated 1982 or something) was obviously done using the cover of # 1 as reference.<br />The Ahern piece I am SURE I have seen in the comics - although, his was probably done as a study, since he had pitched a ROM revival project many years ago.<br />And the Ratkins piece has hundreds of similar foreshortened pieces by Sal Buscema in the issues for reference (yet, he still made the mistake of making ROM's feet too small. Feet that tiny would indicate that they are further away from his head than need be - thus making him too elongated).<br />I do like the rough sketch by zimkitty. It has a nice fluidity. Still... I'd be surprised if it wasn't drawn by using another piece as reference.<br />*Sigh*... great. Now I sound like a ROM fan who IS a dick.Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-87484549829900256442011-01-02T18:06:18.898-08:002011-01-02T18:06:18.898-08:00I like em all but I give my medal to Brian's w...I like em all but I give my medal to Brian's work. Folks who trip into detail on the backdrop always have a story in their mind they are playing out as they draw I reckon.<br /><br />Would be cool to know what his was.IADWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08339648236279349271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-19870504975527407682011-01-02T14:17:51.990-08:002011-01-02T14:17:51.990-08:00I'm really impressed with the ZimKitty piece. ...I'm really impressed with the ZimKitty piece. It's extremely difficult to draw two people fighting, especially in those close quarters. The feeling of movement might be better, but I hardly think I'm one to judge that too harshly.Randomnerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11216600316804854172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-72414939213985604962011-01-01T23:42:28.517-08:002011-01-01T23:42:28.517-08:00Dave, good things come to those who wait.

It is very well done. I don't remember who did the color work for the Rom books but this would look great done by him.<br /><br />Ahern's work reminds me of my commission piece. It is very stunning pencil work.Antoniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09923302744588502791noreply@blogger.com
