(Mark sez:) ![]() Letters, we get letters: Kaesa Auralia commented very kindly on the new color artwork and mentioned that "it's nice to know that even in a future time when they have police to protect us from Mad Science they're still selling tacky Father's Day gifts." Naturally, Kaesa -- threats to mankind's existence may come and go, but tackiness is and always will be the true essence of humanity. As far as the rest of it goes, I haven't done a lot of color comic work in the past -- mostly just short experimental pieces, not any genuinely serious projects. Obviously, when I decided to start doing MoS in color I had to find somebody to copy off of, so in this case I've gone with Georges Rémi a.k.a. Hergé, artist and writer of the Tintin books (favorites of mine since I was a child.) Hergé tends towards the use of bright colors, simple character designs and exactly the right amount of detail -- no more, no less. If I can follow in his footsteps I figure I'm doin' fine. |
