Nice! JB, I didn't see it mentioned in thread but you may want to check out Copic Markers if you want to do any more color doodles.

I like your little doodles. Even if they're little, and not as frequently posted as before, they're always a joy to behold. I like the coloring effect that you put in there, too.

There are a lot of these doodles, in the gallery, that look as if they may
come from the same world. I don't know what science fiction world this
would be, but I hope to see it some day.

Very Moebius, very "European".
You've added coloring to your long list of abilities, or at least disclosed a talent you were keeping under your hat.
I'd love to see a whole comic book given your treatment.

Odd to see this thread alive again after so long. This style -- the line art, anyway -- does, indeed, belong to a project I've been cooking for several years. Even spoke to Chris Ryall about it, a while back. But I have no idea when (or if) it might happen.

I recall you talking about investigating your style in a thread recently and I was put in mind of this very drawing, although I couldn't recall where or when I had seen it. A little patient searching and she turned up.
There are a few drawings like this, that I recall seeing through the years that I've often felt were departures from the norm but yet were like concentrated 'pure' Byrne.
As examples of a couple from the gallery.

I remember bidding on this drawing (at the head of the thread) on Ebay. Didn't quite understand how Ebay worked and lost in the end.
Cool doodle...i hope it sees publication someday.

Those those two lady designs illustrate -- no pun intended -- what I mean when I say "less is more".
Perfectly the right amount of line work -- nor more nor less than is needed -- and it's still "Byrne".
A less experienced or confident illustrator might have overworked it (more elaborate hair technique), an arrogant or dismissive illustrator might have underworked it (faking the folds in the fabric).
They are "perfect".

I really like the coloring on this
It reminds me of the old SPACE 1999 covers JB drew and colored for Charlton.
Should this book get published, I'd love to see an incentive cover be a (printed) version of a hand-colored copy of the regular edition cover - not just a line-art version which has been the norm for incentive covers for JB books from IDW. It would just have so much more artistry to it that the regular photoshop colored covers.

Good to see that old resurrected thread and art. If that could bring back the Queen Elizabeth Space Opera back from limbo !?

There are a few drawings like this, that I recall seeing through the years that I've often felt were departures from the norm but yet were like concentrated 'pure' Byrne.•• That high instep is a dead giveaway! Those drawings are representative of two things I have talked about before. First, and most obvious, the use of a "dead" line, with very little variation in thickness along its length. Second, and more significantly, the frustrations I feel when I do drawings like this, doodles not intended for publication, and they come out very nearly "perfect." It seems my best work is done when "no one is looking."
