Cool Bill.  You should have cards with 4 different images on them.  Kinda like alternate covers.  Then when you hand them out, folks could "collect" your business cards.

Good idea, Matt.
My next one will naturally be John Steed!

I tried to design this so I could easily swap out
pictures for whatever market I was approaching.

Ian - you use 3-d models for your work, correct?  I'm pretty intrigued with this.  It has a cool look to it with good texture.  My only suggestion is to not use the drop shadows on your narration boxes.  It's distracting and tends to make the art look flat (just my opinion).  Try using a hard edge drop shadow instead of a soft edge.  It will accomplish what I think you're trying to do with the piece.

Cool stuff.  I popped by your website once awhile ago, so I'll have to make a new visit.

Yeah, I'm still making up my mind on the shadow. This is an extra, fifth chapter for RIVER, which I'm getting printed, and although the art's in a very different style, I thought the lettering should be consistent. The shadow does lift the lettering off the page. However, in my colour work the colour does the same, and I don't use the shadow.

HA!  I had no idea what you were talking about until I scrolled up and found the goat you were talking about.  That's funny!!!

Anthony, whose pencils are under that Valiant piece? To my eye it's reminiscent of Dave Gibbons

Not to be rude and answer for Anthony, (he's not JB, so I can do it :) ) but it's all Anthony there.  Doesn't he kick butt!!!

I've seen the original Bob Layton piece that Anthony's is based on, and I have to say I'm very much liking this version better.  And that's saying a lot considering how much I adore Bob's artwork.
