Christ, I really have to get a proper scanner.
I received one of the 'wand' scanners for Christmas, and had intended to scan everything up to CAF, but my understanding of the tech beforehand was woeful- it's only A4 size, and needs to be in direct contact with the page.
I'm sure there's a way to join up A4 scans to complete larger images, I just couldn't be arsed figuring it out.

Anyway, here's a phone pic of one of my new favorites, sent from the Forbidden Fatboy Fortress; Fervent & Lobe (with a cameo from Tyranny Rex) by Mike Hadley.

Microsoft ICE is great for stitching images together Link and it's free!

Do you have shares in Microsoft ICE?

Cheers, will check it out (at some stage!)

Cool page, Link - think I've got the one before it, where Arcana turns up.

I would second the ICE recommendation - it's proved really useful.

Always one step ahead, ain'tcha Greg?

I cant get on with my scanner wand, but others seem to like them...

My A4 printer/scanner does the trick (If the art isn't too rigid, that is. Size is not a problem - I've scanned a DPS on it before now. And ICE is an absolute godsend).

But looking forward to seeing your collection pop up on CAF, once you've got sorted Rich!

I was recently into a heavy bid on a Greg Capullo X-Force page.
Lost out in the end.

Instead of making the smart move of just keeping my money for something I really want in the future, I just went on a mad spending spree instead. Sad really.

Here's a trio of Nick Percival pages;

1- Sleaze N Ryder (how I loved President Schwarzenegger).

2- Slaine sketch.

3- A painted Slaine page.

I think if you go mad on a spending spree, Link, you should go mad in style. And that Slaine is just lovely, as are the others.

Nice job!

From someone who once spent 20 grand on 2000AD art in about 3 weeks- that quote makes me nervous!

My latest acquisition from the sublime brush of Mr  Simon Davis. I loved the humour of this tableau right up to the point where my girlfriend, on first seeing it, said: "Oh! That's quite sad." Now I feel bad for laughing at it...

[Skullmo]

Love this - one of my favourite of your pieces!

A cracking piece Mark! Really loved Simon Davis' run on Slaine.
