i was never able to get into lsh...although i feel like i must be missing out
on something.

it seems as though everyone and their brothers are legion fans except
me...maybe i suck!

lol...or maybe i just tried to jump in at the wrong point.

chris y...i've got the vhs tape of drawing the marvel way, at least i THINK
i've still got it...if you want it all you have to do is say the word and it's
yours, assuming of course i can find it.

although, i'm not sure about getting it to the u.k....lol

it might be cheaper for you to find it and buy it there instead of paying
the shipping from the us...lol.

i bought it simply to watch john buscema draw...he's soooo awesome.

Nice work John!

James- Thats very kind of you, but maybe I'll be able to find it somewhere over here too, if not though, I'll give ya a shout. :)

LOSH - I've been following Waid and Kitson's run since #1 (the reboot) and I have really enjoyed it. I love Kitson's pencils. In #16 it will be called "Supergirl and the Legion of Superheroes" so that should be cool!

i really dig kitson's work...he was the sole reason i bought the azrael
series when it started and he's the reason i got into the gorilla comics
"empire" series.

and he's cool as hell to boot...i met him in charlotte a couple of years
ago, quite a nice chap.

i head to the charlotte con every year...i remember meeting ross & busiek
when marvels first came out...they were signing each others names...ross
was signing as busiek and busiek was signing as ross.

i walked up, looked at alex an then kurt and said "so ALEX are you and
KURT enjoying the con?"

alex almost died laughing as kurt exclaimed "we're busted dude!"

i then thanked them for bringing me the best x-men story i had read in
over 15 years...it was quite a moment.

alas, in the immortal words of peter david, "but i digress".

Chris Y - that's a good deal for 40 minutes.  sort of like an extended pose in a life drawing class.  I read somewhere that you were shying away from backgrounds, and if so, the best cure for that is to just look outside your window or sit in the park or on a bench and draw what you see.  don't get too caught in the detail, but go for the feel of the perspective and the general shapes.  time yourself and do about 4 15 minute quick sketches, then try some longer ones.  the book you're getting will help explain the concepts of the perspective.  keep up the good work!!!

Ben Schwartz - nice job.  I'm sure your friends were pleased.

Ed Munoz - shoot!  sorry to hear about your eye.  hope you feel better soon, understanding the consequences that loom for you.  as far as your drawing, it looks as good as ever!  nice one and I hope you'll be able to continue to draw and post stuff.

Didier Yvon Paul Fayolle - that is just so awesome on so many levels!  i love it.  and feel free to comment on Darren's stuff any time you'd like to!  i give you permission...  Actually, you're stuff is really not as bad as you think it is as far as i'm concerned.

John C. Harrison - i love your style and love your characters.  very well done.

Sean Hollenhors - very well laid out and done.  you might try varying your lineweight a bit (this is something i'm working on in my own inking so it's in my mind - so please don't take that as a cut!!!)

er... Matthew... how should I say it... hmmmmmm... let me see.... if you refer to the latest pic I have posted ( pencil in the eye ), well, unfortunatly for me and you, I am not the author !

And I can prove it ! -------> http://happytreefriends.atomfilms.com/index.html

very funny stuff !

As for me, I can show this:

This is a rough animation I made for the game I am working on. It is far away from perfect ( it looses volumes on the feet and there are some troubles with the arms, but at least, I made it ! ). Hey ! it is work in process !

Nice work Sean!

James K. - That sounds great man! I've spoken with Kitson over at the Geoff Johns board recently and he does seem really cool! Problem with living in the UK is I never get to go to conventions! lol His work on LOSH has been great, you can see some pencil pages on his site, I'll try and grab ya the link.  - www.barrykitson.com

Matthew- Thanks for the advice! Legend.

Ed, I am sorry to hear of the health problems you've suffered of late. I hope the worst is now behind you. I loved the Hulk and Spiderman piece though!
