The Metal Men were meant to be a 1-shot ...

My comment was scragged just as I was finishing it.
DC tossed in a hastily written one-shot story in Showcase #37, as a regular featue\e

Absolutely stunning.
I love the metal men, my favorites are copper and mercury.

Ha! Thanks very much! You know, I feel a little better about this piece now. I checked out your image and wow, you've got such a steadier hand than I do (hmmm, I guess I won't be performing surgeries any time soon--THE WORLD IS SAVED!). I think you did a very good job on inking yours. I really like the hair. Did you use gray brush tips for the toning? On mine I use the standard Prismacolor double-tip markers you can pick up at Michael's and other arts/crafts stores(some of them...the one nearest my house said they don't stock them because too many people steal them). In fact, because I really like the tones to be even, I typically only use the broad side of the marker. It takes a little bit of practice, but every gray-toned piece I've done in my gallery was done this way, and I generally like the look of most of them.
And I don't know if you've gotten the chance yet or not, but when you can, check out the newest Metal Men limited series. Dunan Rouleau does the art on it. You may really like it. You can probably just Google that series with his name and find some pics online. It's not normally the style I work in, but it has really inspired me to experiment a bit.
Thanks again!

Heh. His name is Lead. Since they're all named after metals and reflect the general characteristics of their namesakes, I guess he's the big softie of the group (and maybe he even poisons people and makes them go crazy if they drink water from pipes made from him...hmmm, I haven't seen THAT in the Metal Men comics I've looked at).
You know, I show all my art to my two-and-a-half-year-old son to see what he thinks of it, and he loved Lead too! I think he maybe just looks like the nicest guy in the bunch.
As always, thanks!
