Artist's Comments

Kick Your Own Ass!!!

A deviant brought a fun contest that was held on here, to my attention. Everyone was invited to draw something again... not tweak a pre-existing piece, but do it all from scratch. The contest was over by the time I heard about it... but the idea stuck with me.

I did not intend to duplicate my GLC cover... but the homage to myself is a 'happy accident'... and kinda fits the theme of that contest.

Looking back... it was the pitiful best that I could do at the time. Didn't know how to ink; or color, or pretty much anything else. I was still trying to figure out how to pencil. I forget who colored it, but Aquaman inker Bob Dvorak did the honors on inks.

That was then ...this is now. I'm still making it up as I go along... but it's all me, myself, and I. I love to collaborate with other artists, but there is a big difference between wanting to work with a colorist and inker, and having to because I don't know how. Might seem like a small difference, but to me it is the difference between blackest night and brightest day.

Keep Kicking Your Own Ass!!!
Otherwise we would still be drawing like we did, back in Kindergarten...

:D


***UPDATED... for my buddy, SYTHSPAWN! :)

don't ask, don't tell.

(actually... Adam always died, and was always reborn)

Creating Adam is the closest I will ever come to giving birth in the literal sense. It was a really fun gig. He is unlike most other Lanterns out there, and he's all mine, mine, mine!

(Now I am sounding like an Orange Lantern) ;)

It always puts a smile on my face when you call me that, ZOMBECO!

It reminds me of one of my favorite TV shows-- "I dream of Genie". I am not one yet... but hope to come close to coming close to mastering some of it one day.

A master that is, not a Genie. :D

But yeah... I agree with you, the theme of the contest is a great exercise-- I need to do more of the same when I have some free time.
