[MutantKeys]

Wow just saw this thread for the first time... absolutely awesome

[Sharkey]

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.

 

Hey Jeff

 

Nice additions to the project!

 

What cons are you hitting this year? You should come to Chicago....

Doom Modok and Mephisto. These are awesome. I kinda like the Golem but when I saw it I thought maybe thats supposed to be The Shroud.

I just realized that I didn't scan any of the ones that were done at Baltimore. I'll scan those and post the updated layouts.

[CAP Freak]

This idea is SO cool.

That Baron Zemo looks awesome.

As nice as these are scanned they are much better in person. I was able to view all of them up close at Baltimore and this truly is a one of a kind collection.

Strong Guy -

 

This is such a great concept and execution, you will have an unbelieveable piece when you are done. Very impressive.

 

Here's a question, do you have a particular artist in mind for each character, or do you present the blank sheet to each artist and say, well, I only have these three characters, which of these would you like to draw? Or something else?

 

Another series of questions relate to where do you see it ending up? Have you considered scanning it and having it professionally colored? And maybe throw some nice digital lettering on it, and photoshop the stamp edges?

 

That would make an unbelieveable poster!

I usually let the artists pick who they want to do. That has worked out best. Now that I'm down to 15 (or so) left the pickings are slim so some of the guys are disappointed. However, I always give them the sheets and let them look everything over... for inspiration.

 

Regarding coloring and other things. I'm working on a couple of things with it but I want to get it completed first. Color, tighter inks, letter, borders, etc. are all part of the plan.

I just came across this thread and agree that this is a fantastic project...thanks for sharing!

[chromium]

This remains one of my favorite threads here

[Wonderworldcomic]

Best sketch theme ever!

 

Are you bringing it to the San Diego Con?

 

It's been awhile, but didn't Marvel have some odd extra stamps before and after the 100 stamps? Are you going to stick to just the 100?

 

Best,

[Mac Man]

Stronguy,

 

This is the first time I've read this thread from top to bottom, and please put me in line as a fan of this project. I'm really surprised no one has raved about the Mysterio stamp considering the number of Spidey fans out there. That is really a fine, fine looking piece. There are many, of course, but this one really pops out at me the most.

 

I am wondering if there are any sort of copyright/royalty issues with you ever trying to make some sort of coffee table book out of this project, or if nothing else, some sort of large poster print? I would be shocked if this didn't go over extremely well with the many comic fans out there, and I'm certain many members here would be all over it. Maybe I'm a little out there with this idea, but this is such a creative and interesting idea that I can't but think others would be really interested in seeing it as well in some form or another. :shrug:

 

In any event, please keep sharing the updates as convention season gets underway. Great looking art project you have going on here!!!

There is more if you want to continue with the B series- with the larger images:

... Plus there are some unofficial stamps like #101 with Marie Severin

[Stronguy]

Here are the updated layouts. Sheet 1 is now complete thanks to a great Warriors Three piece done by Mark Texeira.

 

88 down, 12 to go...
