Some excellent work popping up, I really like the chosen shot supersurfer I hope you get to finish it.
Great piece Simon I like the desaturated colours and the composition with the sisters of death coming from the solid black jacket.

Blast - why doesn't whats in me head go down onto the paper?

Tried to "do" a Belardinelli of lots of detail but, when i finished the mouth, realised if i did the rest of the ship the same way it'd just be a mass of confusing muck. Hence the minimal finish on the rest of it.
Oh well.
Many thanks to Bolt for the lettering - an actual case of being able to polish a turd.

Thanks for the comment antodonnell - appreciate it.

The composition of this one has 'evolved' quite a bit. Not sure if I got it right or not in the end.

Originally it had the four dark judges standing behind Kraken, gloating, with the sisters towering above the group (off to the left of the dead man's head). It all got a bit too busy.

I actually quite liked the image with just the 'dead man' and a huge mass of black......but decided it was a bit sparse and went ahead with including Kraken.
The sisters were added as an afterthought and Kraken made a bit smaller in the picture - ah the wonders (or should that be the curse) of Photoshop.

Anyway, glad you like it - looking forward to seeing all of the entries.

All excellent stuff posted so far. I'm slightly panicked as this one ends next Friday and I'm still dithering over pencils and figure positioning!

Indeed. I think we may need to nobble Mr Penter, since he's clearly too good by half!

Cheers

Another lovely piece Simon. Great composition.

SIP · 23 April, 2009, 10:06:10 PM

Cheers fellas!

Please don't nobble me....whatever that actually entails - it sounds painful.

Isn't that what James Caan has done in the film Misery?
Unless Mr Penter draws with his feet I can't see it helping the rest of us!

Nice one James, great piece of work.

I've nearly finished all those Megs.

Blimey, James ... I seem to remember you saying on a previous entry that you were rarely happy with your inks. Whatever you've been doing about that, it's bloody working! That's a splendid piece of work.

Cheers
