20x30. My run on the FF, with mostly my choice as to who to include, who to leave out.*Must confess, this was a depressing piece to work on. I'm no fan of my own work, as most of you know, and having to go thru all these back issue to check costume details, etc ---- ugh!! Also, noticed when I leaned back from inking Malice (over to the left in front of the Watcher) that she's WAY off scale with the rest of the figures. Guess I'll have to refund the customer a nicklel! Full sized scan off to Dan as usual, so spare your eyesight and wait for him to upload it!! __________________ * Seek no deep and secret meaning behind who's included and who isn't!!

In your case JB it is such a shame that you aren't able to enjoy your art like the rest of the world does. For all the satisfaction your work has given to others. It would be great if you could feel it as well. In the same way we can.

And I want to emphasize that I mean no disrespect to those of you who have been loyal fans thru what I consider thick and thin. I'm not calling you idiots for liking my work! Heck, as you all know by now, if I was calling you idiots, I'd CALL you IDIOTS! There'd be no guesswork!!! ;)

Sadly, occurs to me that it won't be long before we'll be seeing variants of this all over the place, looking like bags of M&Ms after being colored by clowns with the deft touch of exploding Sherwin Williams stores!!

The large scan has been posted to the Gallery. It may take me a while to get all of the characters tagged, though!

Pretty awesome...AND more comprehensive than I'd have expected!
Of particular delight, is the Mole Man coming up from the depths, the skrull holding your sig, Elspeth Cromwell's body language, and Wendy with her arm round her friend.
Funny how closely the style matches the old school originals in places (for example, Julie Angel).
And I never thought we'd see Spinerette again!

Just soaking more of it in... brilliantly laid out. Just noticed the Torch coasting along. You tell a story with the characters' body language that is uncommonly good.

I sometimes have to fight against it, to prevent glaring anomalies in the middle of pictures. Here, I just kind of let it happen when it happened.
