No idea... I remember that site - it was fun and he paid me a small fee to use my art on there as a gateway. Good times! Thanks for the kind words and memories!

You are very welcome DocRedfield. I've actually kind of been keeping my eye out for that gateway that he used.

Thanks... I still like this one and really want to compose another like it. I should try something with simple, clean forms and lines like this again, as well. The text was necessary and fun to come up with, but perhaps I should use that excuse again some time instead of relying on just photoshop...

Text can be a really great addition to a piece. I'm not good with typography, so I don't do it,.... but for someone like you it's a great idea. You have nice clean lines, great precision, so you can't lose.

1 outta 3 aint bad (You got Gary Oldman, MISTER Chameleon himself, as Carl Denham!) Jack Driscoll is played here by Bruce 'Don't call me Ash' Campbell (AKA, Brisco County Jr.), and the girl... As I said I was looking for a beautiful blonde (in '98) with staying power... I was off only a bit when I cast Mira Sorvino... but how was I to know that the beautiful Naomi Watts would come along!?
Thanks for the comments...!

I think we've had this discussion before, but I could be wrong. In any case, Bruce Campbell is obvious now, although I've never seen a "Bruce Campbell" movie. I've seen him in movies, like Spiderman, but that's about it, so he wouldn't have come to mind. And, for a double helping of my naivete in one comment, I'm not really sure who Mira Sorvino is. I google-imaged her, but still didn't recognize her. She looks good in this picture, though.

Starting...?! Actually, this piece is from like '98, '99... I just re-scanned it (and think it looks WAY stronger because of it).
Yeah, my wife (then girlfriend) pose for Fay, and the clothes ripping part is something that movie (the original) really instilled in me, I guess. I'm happiest with the collage.

I'm sorry. Rocketeer Adventure Magazine, the first issue of that. It has a strong art deco feel to the cover.

Oz-Muerte In reply to DocRedfield [2006-08-09 08:01:06 +0000 UTC]

I think that's partly because of Disney.
Some people claim Stevens is just lazy. I don't know what the truth is.
What I do know is that there's suppose to be a volume 3... when its ever going to be made is anyone's guess. But yeah there needs to be more, you can't just crossover Rocketeer with The Shadow and then just leave it alone. There's endless possibilities with that character.

DocRedfield In reply to Oz-Muerte [2006-08-09 17:34:06 +0000 UTC]

Is there a collected volume of ALL the Rocketeer stuff anywhere... I've got the original graphic novel/trade that has the original story, but I also have a follow up comic somewhere that I've never seen re-preinted/collected... and I never heard of a crossover!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Oz-Muerte In reply to DocRedfield [2006-08-09 23:09:15 +0000 UTC]

The first volume trade has the intro by Harlan Ellison. The second volume was the one with the crossover and it was collected in a trade called "Cliff's New York Adventure".
Volume 3 has yet to be produced.
But in volume 2 the crossover happens in issue 1 or 2, where Cliff becomes one of The Shadow's agents. I don't know what happens since I've never finished the story, issue 3 is really REALLY rare, and I've never gotten around to getting the trade.
In that volume the Shadow goes by the alias "Mr. Jonas". Its sort of like how Doc Savage was in volume one, but Stevens didn't come straight out and say it was Doc Savage (probably so as not to get sued). But with Mr Jonas it makes sense since The Shadow goes by so many different aliases, Kent Allard, Lamont Cranston, etc, etc...
Makes me wonder who would show up in volume 3. Indiana Jones?

DocRedfield In reply to Oz-Muerte [2006-08-10 18:02:52 +0000 UTC]

Wow.. thanks for the info. Dark Horse really needs to keep more of their stuff in print, or re-issued. I looked up Cliff's New York Adventure on amazon and ebay, and its going for about $75-100!! That, and I can't get the Xenozoic Tales (Mark Schultz) volumes I want very easily, and both titles contain some of my favorite artists' works...
I never caught the Doc Savage nod... duh.

Oz-Muerte In reply to DocRedfield [2006-08-10 21:10:47 +0000 UTC]

75 - 100!?!?!? Wow...I didn't think it was that high. I should of gotten it when I had the chance.
Yeah Doc Savage was the inventor of the Cirrus X-3. In the movie they changed it to Howard Hughes, again, because of the copyrights issue. But in doing so I think they tapped into an equally, if not more powerful mythology. I mean with all the weirdness that surrounded Hughes, I can actually see him inventing something like that. And you just have to love that "The son of a bitch WILL fly!" remark about the Spruce Goose. That's just good stuff.

Thanks very much... and thanks for my casting decisions as well. I'm very much looking forward to Jackson's version (as he set it classiclly -- sometime I'll have to do my own original Kong piece with Fay), but, Naomi Watts aside, I'm not too sure about some of his cast... Still, looks fantastic.
The art above took some time, so thnx for the comment/fav

DocRedfield In reply to AlaskanExile [2005-01-31 06:04:15 +0000 UTC]

Wow, those are some sweet compliments/comments... thanks. I so often get labelled 'comic book' with my art style, but my roots are just as influenced by 20's-50's illustration style... THat aside, yes, I was going very much for the Art Deco feel for the layout (though I love a lot of contemporary japanese poster art), as that was the original setting of the film, and YES, that is Bruce Campbell as Jack Driscol, Gary Oldman as Carl Denham, and finally Mira Sorvino as Ann Darrow (though in PJ's case, I love his casting of Naomi Watts). Thanks for the compliments on the inking - I enjoy the hell out of it when it turns out like that.

I can see the other influences in your style. I really love your black and white pieces. I think what gave Bruce away was of course the chin. I'm gonna keep an eye on your work. I love what you've done so far.
