RE: The 'Cable Original' Art thread - Bib Fortuna

Wow. Thats all I can say. Well, not really, Im a wordy kind of guy. But that IS all I can say initially. Wow. I love this thread. First of all, I am a huge Creature Cantina fan. http://www.choicecomics.net/index.php?&page=webcomics&comicID=771 Vote for Creature Cantina there, I put it up a while ago. If you have not spent a saturday afternoon reading through all the creature cantina webstrips, do so NOW. Well, Wednesday afternoon, but whatever.
But I digress. It is amazing to see you step out of the style we are accustomed to seeing with the Creature Cantina and provide something a bit more mature stylistically. The Grievous, Quarren, charred Anakin, all of them are amazing pieces. I am totally blown away because it shows a lot of versatility on your part as an artist.
If the mood or time ever strikes you, I would be honored to have you contribute a pin-up to our Clone Wars D20 Fan Sourcebook at http://www.fandomcomics.com Though it would appear that between the webstrip and commissions you do already have a full plate. Either way, feel free to drop me an email or IM at NarCranr@aol.com . Anyway, love the thread, love the work, can't wait to see more!

Hey, Just wanted to come over and tell you that I think your art's great-I love how you use inks--especially with cross hatching--It can be overdone, but you seem to have a knack for "just right" keep up the great work!

Your Bib Fortuna is great. It really captures his sleaziness. This not to say anything bad about the drawing (its awesome), but he is rather sleazy.

Yeah!! Awesome!!
I love this! What a great study in that all-too-difficult "black-on-black!" And you've handled it expertly: all the detailing in white on his figure, with the perfectly-placed highlights on the outstretched limbs and shiny flightsuit... Just too awesome!! This one must have taken a long, long time, with all that black--outstanding job!!

Fantastic work on the trooper!  I don't think you've missed a single thing in his outfit and those highlights on the solid black look spectacular. The pose gives a good sense of being in a firefight.

I learned a long time ago that to do black-on-black, you pencil the drawing as normal but when you ink the interior you actually ink around the pencil lines. It's almost like creating a negative image. On this one, I did the highlights of the cloth suit by crosshatching, and the highlights of the leather goods by stippling... just to differentiate the textures.

Another very cool pic. Tie-pilots are among my favourite Star Wars costume designs - very classy.

HA!! One of the most appreciated and underdone droids in the series!! I always loved the GONK, and this is a superb "portrait" of him/her/it! Perfect detailing, and I love that lifted foot! Too great! Wonderful way to start off the year, Bill!

AAACK!!!
**dives for cover**
Thermal detonators everywhere!! This is too cool, Bill!! I love this pose--the steep foreshortening, all that coiled energy and movement--it's like a movie still (again, from a scene we never got to see!  )! Terrific detailing on the costuming, staff and bombs--superb work, as always!
