I used 'The Trial Of Galactus' throughout for ideas, although it's fair to say that Kirby was a MASSIVE influence on Byrne himself. I used a Starlin pic as Mar-Vell's costume reference so that probably filtered through but George Perez is probably my biggest influence as an artist.Conrad Knight Sockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047473790475457299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-3917173952727153592014-11-11T03:40:23.042-08:002014-11-11T03:40:23.042-08:00Thanks for the publicity, Shlomo, and thanks to ev...Thanks for the publicity, Shlomo, and thanks to everyone who commented and liked the pic. I'm a real novice at colouring so decided to leave this particular pic to the experts (my friend Mat). However, that hasn't stopped me from doing more than my fair share of coloured work - please feel free to stop by my gallery and check out the Marvel pics in there (although bear in mind this is the first time I've drawn Rom).<br /><br />NickConrad Knight Sockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047473790475457299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-38601022704927707292014-11-10T16:00:14.716-08:002014-11-10T16:00:14.716-08:00The colored version of that artwork just looks a m...The colored version of that artwork just looks a million time better than it did before. And that's not to say the artwork was horrible, ha ha, it's just that the added colors really make it pop that much more. Kudos to the artist of the piece.<br /><br />Miss you on FB Shlomo.

Not a comment on the author of this particular magazine article, but I've seen that particular eyebrow-raising chestnut, and others I'm sure you could identify as well, duplicated in many writings on the character. It is one of those things. I'm just happy whenever his name is dropped I guess. Whenever I see 'ROM The Spaceknight' I just think "they must be British" since that's what they always called him in UK reprintings, even affixing THE into the otherwise familiar title logo.Gary Martin, Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11385338936431036524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-4220012134602914022014-11-08T19:26:55.502-08:002014-11-08T19:26:55.502-08:00yeah i thought you'd dig this. but isn't i...yeah i thought you'd dig this. but isn't it funny how the writer says "based on a popular toy" . .he kinda got that wrong it was the comic books series that gave ROM any degree of popularity and had a lot to do with making the toy a now pricey collector's item. but at least he didn't say Rom the spaceknight i fucken hate that.Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-46906401916003944372014-11-08T19:01:43.880-08:002014-11-08T19:01:43.880-08:00I really appreciate the Back Issue find, you know ...I really appreciate the Back Issue find, you know that's just the kind of stuff I'm searching for too!
