Ain't this a nice surprise? Gotta love that RED. I've long wondered how those ultra-negative panels (like panel three) would work in color, and there it is, big as life. Say, picture that red on the Mime's shirt, instead of the white... that's a fine color, there. Thanks for this, Lee --

In return, I finally got back to work on a project codenamed "the fox and the hen."

The whole idea of coloring this centered around that third panel. I was thinking how cool it would look in all red and just kind of colored the rest of the page.

The Fox and the Hen.... classic

Speedy told me that Mime is a Hero, NOT a Villain...
Knowledge.

hahahahahahahahaha!!!
the Villainous ANTAGONIST, the FOWL's Arch-Nemesis is a MIME!

AWESOME idea, very creative and ORIGINAL, we see his devious thoughts, but he NEVER speaks them, because he is a SILENT clown... hahahahahahahahahaha

i LOVE your artwork/comic pages, Gaston! I like your art style alot, it has a nostalgic feeling to me, like 1940's era characters mixed with a CONTEMPORARY sensibility...

Also, your drawing style reminds me of Mike Mignola's HELLboy, which I love and and have MUCH appreciation.

40's era characters mixed with a contemporary sensibility... that's pretty much exactly what I'm going for. Thanks for that bit.

To clear things up, Mime is actually Fowl's ally.

Also, this page was drawn by the creator

mattcrap In reply to Gaston25 [2010-08-02 06:30:33 +0000 UTC]

no idea just yet. If you did a story, I'd want you to do the whole story so that it's got the same vibe all the way through. I don't have a short one to suggest.

What would you think about coloring Kuhn's cover?

I'm gonna have a gallery of all four flip-covers done in color for the annual. Scotty already colored McDaid's and I'm going to ask Cody to color his. I was planning on coloring Kuhn's, but i think you could have some fun with it.
