Very NICE!!! It's gotta be awesome for Joe to see his characters realized by you, JB! I know that's something I would like to eventually see with my own characters, when I can squeeze a commission into the budget.

Working on this piece reminded me of how #^%@ing HARD Cyclops are to draw. That single eye just works against all the logic of the architecture of the skull. One of these days I am going to challenge myself to design a Cyclops that works to MY satisfaction!(And, yes, we can forego any postings of images of Scott Summers, thank you!)

That really takes me back to when I first started getting into comics in the late 80s when I would buy a comic based on how wow'd I was by the cover. And that's a cover page I'd buy on spec!* Oh, what a magical time it was; when I had no idea about writers and artists and all the stuff you learn that sours you. *I'm not assuming that this is a cover image.

Mind you, it occurs to me that Mother Nature was well on her way toward designing pretty respectable Cyclops skulls with the Mastadon and Elephant.
Some have suggested that the finding of Mastodon skulls by our remote ancestors may even have given rise to the Cyclops myth.

I heard this on our trip to Greece & Turkey. Interesting stuff, ancients finding old elephant skulls and thinking these cyclops help build even older structures, if I'm remembering correctly.
Nice commission.

Very cool, JB. My guess is there will be more Greek Titan references in this book. Any tidbits you are willing to divulge, Joe?
