Ooh that's very good. I like the almost geometric sculpting of muscle work. And it's far from shameful to use reference for things your mind absolutely refuses to untangle. Yep, shades and tones are inspiring Nightbook. Lovely bit of art.

Thanks for the kind words Hoagy. I can totally see what you mean about the geometric nature of the musculature. Thinking about it most of my compositions are made up of series of jagged little lines. My hands are too wobbly to convey properly organic shapes (I had to break out the French curve for Alpha's helmet).  

That's a great pic Nightbook. I did my Stront mini's in a similar style -monochrome with that splash of colour for the badge.

Thankyou! I had a quick trawl through your post history but couldn't find your Stront. I'd be very interested to see them. I wasn't planning on colorising the badge but right at the end I felt it needed something. A lot of what I've been doing of late is just black and white with a splash of colour to mix things up.

Also, if it's a viable option (assuming the collection is continuing to 200), I'll bet Matt Smith could find another 50 or so pages of content to pad it out a bit. (I'm sure there's a better pairing, not least because there are no creators in common, but I don't believe XTNCT has been in the collection yet. So tuck that at the back of Proteux Vex II and I'd be well happy!)

Hoping that 'Aquila' and 'Proteus Vex' have enough material for them to be finished in the Ultimate Collection before it ends. That would be perfect!

With the news that Proteus Vex concludes in the current arc, there won't be enough on it's own.

Maybe in a Mike Carroll volume with some Dreadnoughts.

I calculate that in 'Proteus Vex' the previous uncollected arc ('Crawlspace') covered 70 pages and the current story of 15 parts should be at least 80 pages; this grand total of 150 pages is more than some of the thinner volumes in the Ultimate Collection have been (eg 'Slaine: Book of Scars'). So there is at least hope it makes it in. Fingers crossed, as nothing could be more deserving!

The best part was Paul and John playing a chord!

Convince me I'm wrong?

I didn't recognise them. Strange they couldn't get anyone that looks or sounds like the legendary duo.

Then again do little kids like babies?

They like bogey and fart jokes.

I asked do they like babies.

Thanks!

I can't for the life of me remember where I heard it, might have been other strips - have a vague memory of someone who later became famous being a bit embarrassed about their photostrip work

Tony Hadley from Spandau Ballet?  Appeared in a My Guy photostrip - presumably before being lead singer of the band.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024)

A close relative of SISU, in many ways - especially in the Tarantino-aping and general cartoony killings (of which there an astounding amount).

An odd one - I thoroughly enjoyed it but afterwards found out the many things that were left out or changed for no real reason, I can tell.

I should read the book.

But, anyway, still recommended but with a lot of caveats (Maybe it's best to see it as some sort of alternate reality version of what actually happened?)
