Fantastic- do you have a magnetic drawing board? (I thought I saw magnets holding up your bits of paper on the side). Inspiring stuff as always
ReplyDeleteHey Paolo this probably by favorite page from this series that you did EXCELLENT RENDERING, MOOD, STORYTELLING!
ReplyDeletecurious, your editor was cool with the reverse colors of the shield? Kinda dig it.
ReplyDeleteThis is great stuff. I really appreciate you going through the trouble to post your reference photos that you take of yourself.
ReplyDeleteJP, I sure do. You can find links to the magnets and board here.

Janimal, the shield is based on Cap's early version, which you'll see on all the Golden Age covers except the first one (which has the triangular shield). In Mythos: Cap, I decided to have them "repaint" it after he's thawed out in the modern era. You can see that in the Avengers spread.
