Wallace, yes JRJR has been my favourite artist since the late seventies and his style and that of JB seem to be fairly ingrained in my head, but there are many more. I, for one, see a lot of Alex Toth in JRJR although I would be surprised if anyone else did.
Just to be clear, when I draw, I don't use any reference, no art or comics lying about, so what I try to do is draw the characters as I feel them. A quick biro sketch (lots of them) to capture a pose, attitude or gesture and then try to translate that to pencil with constant redrawing, tweaking and erasing. So with most of the pictures I do more often than not the costumes will be the ones I remember and most likely incorrect.
This is relatively new for me and I appreciate the comments of all the people on this thread, however, I am not precious about it and would love anybody to criticize my posts as that is the only way to learn, I am too close to it. I sure hope these pictures don't look like rip-offs but I won't know unless people tell me.
