My whole "budget" was $100, so after I was done with Mignola page, I went over and bought 5 pages from the 70's GI Combat drawn by Vic Catan (sp?), they were $5 each...and that was the whole bank :(<br /><br />I still have that Mignola page and the GI Combat pages :)Alex Sheikmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955043334160546674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14631905.post-23883123942033419862009-11-17T11:41:24.305-08:002009-11-17T11:41:24.305-08:00I do recall you buying the Mignola page.

I had a choice between a Hellboy page from the first mini series that just came out and an older page that he did for Amazing Adventures (?). Anyway, I ended up buying the Amazing Adventures page and I remember thinking: "Wow, this page has everything, Napoleon, French generals, even a monkey!"...now I kind of wish I gave that Hellboy page a bit more thought :)Alex Sheikmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955043334160546674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14631905.post-489149260844819612009-11-16T13:11:00.436-08:002009-11-16T13:11:00.436-08:00I remember this!

Thanks for stopping by the blog AND buyi...Hi John,<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by the blog AND buying the comic, it is wonderful to see that you have not lost faith in my after that story :)<br /><br />I think that my biggest problem here was that I drew it 11x17 and while it was OK full size, I just did not understand what will happen to it after it was going to be reduced and colored.<br /><br />I learn by looking at artwork, and since I see it already reduced and reproduced there was a lot of confusion on my part about what I needed to do. I tried to make the same marks on 11x17 that I saw on 6x8 reproduced pages...it sounds silly and like a straight forward sort of thing to fix, but at the time it seemed huge.<br /><br />My very graphic approach to rendering came out as a way to try to get as close to reproducing the original artwork in print (although it also helped that I have inclinations leaning in that direction as well). Now that I am working almost print size, some of my excitement about rendering (correctly) is back...I am kind of curious to see how it will work out :)<br /><br />Alex-Alex Sheikmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955043334160546674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14631905.post-43215021703737860892009-11-15T17:58:07.987-08:002009-11-15T17:58:07.987-08:00Hi Alex: Would you believe that I actually have th...Hi Alex: Would you believe that I actually have this comic.
