Project: Marvel Value Stamp

[Comicdey]

You might be able to get a "better" artist to ink over golem to make it look like golem. How hard could that be? $20 I could definately do better, and I draw like a chimp/elephant from the zoo.

 

Too bad, but the Morbius (being a favorite of mine) stands out as a bit odd. Still cool, just not the morbius I've grown to know.

That's the beauty (and horror) of this. It's the artist's choice what they draw but it's also their interpritation. It usually pays off -- Electro, Mole Man, Modok, Puppet Master -- all of the artists were really into it.

Very true, You have many gems in there.

 

I'll take a full size scan of the completed set upon completion...........

 

That would make a great coloring page for my son.....and me.

Nice additions! Do you have to give the artists some references? I can't imagine that they all remember the details of some of these B and C level Marvel characters.

[Stronguy]

I have all of the stamps printed out in sequence (layed out to keep everything in it's proper place) that they usually use to pick who they want to draw. When someone picks one of the unknowns I break out the individual reference sheets. They come in really handy for some of the finer detail.

boy, Ron Frenz really came through on that Enchantress piece

Great job getting all those sketches, Bill's Kingpin is excellent.

So what's the Tim Vigil story?

So what's the Tim Vigil story?

 

It's really not that big of a deal. Vigil had done the Lilith for me but it was in soft pencil. In all of the transport and handling it got smudged so I had to erase it. Cliff offered to do the drawing and did it in such a way that you can't see the erasure marks that were originally there. See, not that much to it.

OK.....I thought it was going to be a blockbuster story... like maybe Tim spit on your page and said, "This is so beneath me!"

[Stronguy]

Beneath Tim Vigil... c'mon. That guy will draw anything. The only problem he ever has is if you ask for the people to have clothes on.

rEALLY COOL STUFF !

[Artboy99]

Very cool project.

By the way Stronguy, coming to the table and telling an artist what you want them to draw is far different than asking them to draw their choice. You will always get their better effort if they want to draw it. In retrospect, the puppet master looks awesome.

 

Wish I was at one of the conventions you ben to, i would love to add to your pages.

Sorry for the long delay in posting updates. I've only been to 1 con in the past 6 months so there's not much to report. I plan on hitting a couple of cons before the end of the year so I should have more.
