I want that Thoth page Gruddamnit!
That was one of the two pages he sent me via email when I wasn't sure what other artwork he had. Almost fell off my seat when I saw what it was! Actually, that's a pretty calm reaction, my brain almost exploded.
I literally cannot put into words how amazing it is in person. There's so much going on.
The sheer torment Hicklenton captures in Torquemada's eyes on that last page. Genius.
I always remember that being one of the images which really stuck with me when first reading it as a kid. All those flies in there, the joints melted closed - makes you skin crawl!
Superb Hicklenton pages - his take on Torque really emphasised the sordid nature of the character, which Pat was also increasingly hinting at (not that it was ever in doubt.) I know exactly what you mean about photos not doing them justice - I own the art for a complete episode of 'Deathbringer' and the level of fine detail is phenomenal.
Ah, I've seen your Deathbringer pages over on COF, they're sublime - that splash of Purity is really something else.
You'd really need to photograph the pages in tiny segments to try and show the detail. I'm tempted to bring them into work and scan them up on the big flatbed scanners.
