  • Steveinthecity: I wonder why it's always readers that catch mistakes with art, powers, plots, continuity, uniforms, etc. and not the creators and editors?  I hope they're not secretly laughing at us. ;)

  • Steveinthecity: When Thor pulls the hammer back to throw, his momentum stops. He has always been able to float or hover once airborne, and he'll remain until the hammer comes back to him.  I guess the winds keep him aloft.

  • Biollante: ok so shouldn't Joe Quesada know that? lol  It made him look a bit stupid imo.
    May 21, 2012, 07:57:37 AM
  • Jabroniville: Yeah, that's odd- Thor usually has the Hammer out in front. Though I don't think it's ever explained how he can throw it while in mid-flight and not just plummet like a goof. I wish artists would stop having him do things like that :)
    May 21, 2012, 07:23:13 AM
  • Steveinthecity: @Biolante:  Thor uses the hammer to fly. He can throw his hammer during flight and float in one spot until the hammer returns to him. Don't know what Joe Q. was thinking there. I've never seen Thor fly on his own.

  • Biollante: Joe Quesada was drawing Thor on some Disney promo, and he drew him flying with his hammer on his side, now I'm not a Thor junkie, but isn't that actualy inaccurate, doesn't he fly by being dragged by his hammer???

  • Biollante: I'm just glad he's giving back to his fans by revisiting Blade Runner and Alien with Prometheus, I'm sure he's going to deliver too, his legacy as a film maker is on the line since those are his more iconic films

  • Biollante: aesthetics*
    May 20, 2012, 10:58:08 AM
  • Biollante: gonna be hard for anyting to catch up, Ridley Scott is pretty much the top of dark visual design imo, and he drew a lot from Moebius for that film, most fillm makers are not really connected to aestheticas of good fantasy film making in the same way

A colorful Fly
« on: August 03, 2008, 05:11:30 AM »
The Archie Heroes over at the Mighty Crudsaders Handbook had a cover concept sketch, and it was a little hard to see as a gif. But Greg was nice enough to color it.

Thanks Greg,
It looks great!

Thanks Zach and Rik. I had fun doing it, except that's the actual size!  :o :o  I had to blow it up to 400% to get some of the colors right. Then I stole an idea from Aya and decided to make it a spotlight. I did a basic coloring job, then covered it completely in a 1/2 grey tone then erased the gray that I wanted to look like a spotlight. I thought it turned out pretty good, but I figured I subjected you all to too much Crusader stuff lately and didn't post it here. But I'm glad Rik did, and I'm glad you liked it, Rik. I'm still working on another tiny Crusaders cover Rik sent me a month or so ago-- it's not even this big!  :o ;D

here's the original file Rik sent me....



again that's the actual size, and the pic that was sent had this awful yellowy gold color. I had to strip it out before I could start any actual coloring. The size on this one really made it difficult to see what was going on, and admittedly alot of the time I guessed. I now see that the Shield's stripes might be off and i forgot to color the window! OOPS!!! :)

Anyway, glad you liked it Rik. :)
