hey guys,when is this project going to appear already?im dying to see it.

as far as critiques go,i would never say something rude to anyone who has the guts to post here.especially considering whose forum this is.we are many different artists with many different styles.and different skill levels to be sure..........................

unless someone were to say i suck.j/k

as a side note......i was digging through some of my long boxes yesterday,and came across an old guilty pleasure of mine.timewalker from valiant.now i absolutely loved that series and couldnt wait to re-read them. as im flipping through issue 15(best issue of the series...)i couldnt believe my eyes.....whos on the art chores?none other than our own mr.castrillo! oh my god! i remember when i first got that issue,and how i was wishing that this castrillo guy were the regular artist.great job man! i guess i can say im a fan from way back.if you guys can find that issue,i highly recommend it.great story and art.

oh yeah,heres my newest offering......

A preview of an upcoming page of my webmanga... this is one of the best pages of the entire run.

I haven't posted anything in a long while, but here's a recent model sheet I did last week for a character I created (an armored guy - go figure!).  Stole the basic 3-figure idea from the OHOTMU Master Edition model sheets that I thought were so cool 12 years ago.  I drew this on the back of a standard 11x17 BlueLine comic page:

I've gone through several iterations of armor designs for this character over the past dozen years.  Then I was recently reading on Bob Layton's website about what he though the future Iron Man armor would be like, and he made a point that it would be sleeker and simpler, like most technology gets as it grows, not all complicated and techy like it is now.  So I took that approach and really simplified the armor design, and I think this is probably the most satisfied I've been so far.

I've started inking this particular piece, but I'm no Bob Layton, that's for sure.  I've only done the basic figure outline and the arms and legs.  All that's left are the shaded parts, which have me a bit worried because I'm not as good at rendering the metallic look as I'd like.
