Description Championship piece for Penciljack's December 2010 Light-Heavyweight championship bout.

This was painstakingly penciled and inked using a broad variety of references to make a piece as faithful to Uderzo's style as possible, but still winged some ink renders in a style more my own. Drawing the Romans was so much fun though! They're so faded, yet so expressive...!


(also, DA not allowing accented letters in Deviation titles is just really, really stupid and lazy on their part)

The trick is simple:
Repeat, Repeat and Repeat! It's all in the repetition!!

Pretty ambitious and original. Most of the contributions here are well-meaning, but pretty much copied from the books.

Thank you! I'm French-Canadian, and pretty much grew up with AstΓ©rix as a constant, so I had a lot of material on hand to study. Uderzo's style is so line-specific, it was difficult to get it just right! Those characters can differ wildly with just one mark placed wrong, you know?

What part of Kay-Beck do you come from? Despite living in Toronto, I haven't seen too much of the province. I was over the river once, for a drive in the Gatineaus, and I was in Montreal the previous fall, for the World SF Convention. As a kid I saw the World's Fair in 1967, but I doubt I saw much of the city. I don't remember much other than the Fair.

Uderzo has a great style. I'm a big fan of precise line work and deplore the way so many artists use a brush to create a sort of common sloppy line style.

When working in a precise style, even being off by a fraction of a millimeter is enough to make the drawing look wrong.
