Great Kang...I love it!!!  I'm getting a real old-school vibe from this one...a little bit of Kirby and  little bit of Buscema.  Very nice!

Thanks! I'm not altogether displeased with that myself!

Funny thing, working on this one. I realized I have hardly ever drawn Kang. Probably less than half a dozen shots, total. And so he was not even remotely "internalized". I pulled out AVENGERS 8 to be sure I got the "pure" form of the outfit, but as I was laying in the pencils, starting (as I usually do) with the head/helmet, my pencil kept spiraling and spiraling outwards, as my brain told it "Bigger! Bigger!!"

Whoa...hold the phone.  You stayed on model?!?  Who is it that you think you are here, Mr. Byrne???  How ever do you expect to fit in with today's prima-donna culture?!?  You clearly should have protrayed the character as YOU envisioned him, not the character's creator!!!

Over the years, I have become increasingly convinced that these young punks straying off-model is less about their raging egos than it is about them being so frigging LAZY. They just don't want to do the necessary homework!

Great work - Kang is easily my favorite villain.

I love how his belt and helmet seem to have some dimension to them.
