Labels: Mythos / Wacky Reference Wednesdays
I've always liked toys, so finding a legitimate excuse to buy some is not difficult for me. They really are quite useful, though (so I tell myself). This panel and detail is from Mythos: X-Men, page 14, in which Magneto attacks a military base. Who knew gun casings were magnetic?
Also of note is my consummate ability to ignore the giant hand in each picture.
It seens like it´s time for me to go back to childhood and buy a few too, hehehe...
ReplyDeleteNice panel!
Great use of reference! Loved the earlier SketchUp post (among others) as well.
ReplyDeleteInspiring work, man . . .
Paolo, thanks for posting the "Wacky Reference Wednesday" focused on this painting which I'm enjoying in person now since I received it a week before.
ReplyDeleteI feel very lucky and proud to be its new owner since it's an awesome work of art. I can't stop to be amazed at your mastery with lightning and mood. If you add this a very fluid and dinamic storytelling and the use of "Wacky" reference, it looks like the comic comes to life, and the characters get flesh and bones.
Till I find some time to scan the HUGE piece and assemble the six pieces, I already scanned the cover of Iliad #7. Any of you interested to enjoy a jumbo image of it, you'll find it here:

I just hope that I could capture the beauty of the piece.
Best,
Ferran

Ferran,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you like the piece. Thanks for the kind words... and thanks for the post on your blog.
At last I could scan the painting! You'll find a large image here: http://tinyurl.com/daagej
ReplyDeleteI also included it in the section focused on you in my CAF gallery:

Since it's so large as a DPS, I had to scan it in six parts and assemble it. I tried my best to capture the originals colors, but this is all I could get. I hope this is enough for others fans to get the idea.
BTW, thanks for the signed print!
Thanks again, Ferran. Now you know why I don't paint at that size anymore... they look nice, but they're difficult to scan.
ReplyDeleteDid you scan them by yourself?! I thought you shipped them to Marvel or maybe you asked a pro to do it!
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised that you painted Hulk on 8,5' x 12' sheets! ;-)
Ha! Marvel has scanned a very limited number of my pages. When they did, I tried to take them in myself and wait while they scanned. Otherwise, they seem to get damaged.
ReplyDeleteThey're good when it comes to regular artwork, but they have a tougher time with painted work, especially at weird sizes. I guess I like causing trouble.
