I know it's not kosher to crit something unless asked but I don't think he handled the sun bit all too well. Should look bright with a round gradient or something. As is, it looks like the machine got hit with an orange. SPLAT!

yea, the sun was even darker before that. I think Dylan's just a tad afraid to use white. I'd make a note of it, but that poor guy is under a lot of pages right now.

most of the time I'd prefer B&W ink art, but in this case the colors bring your excellent designs one step higher. Pop !!

thanks, dude! Colors can make an okay design look stellar so I'm really pleased to work with a colorist first hand on this.

Interesting... reminds me of old Heavy Metal work. Very vibrant, I hope it prints well.

yea, me too. I don't know anything about printing myself but hopefully things hold together.

I only know a few things, but one thing I do know is that heavily saturated colors which appear vibrant in RGB will frequently muddy out and darken when printed in CMYK. You can print colors like this, though. As I said it reminds me a lot of some work from the late 70's/early 80's that I grew up with
Chances are whomever is in charge of getting this put to paper is a LOT more knowledgeable than I ever will be on the subject. I don't know enough to say how these colors will print, or that it isn't all being handled by post and setup and it'll look awesome. It's just that I learned the hard way to be wary of richly saturated colors in an RGB environment. The general rule I've been taught is to try and keep saturation numbers below 80 (on a 0-100 scale).
Not much of this means much for B&W ink-monkeys unless we force ourselves into the color realm (but that's sometimes necessary).

yea, you're right about that actually. Issue one will have many lessons to teach when its in print. Not just the colorist I'm sure. Thanks for the pointer on saturation numbers. I've gotta remember this stuff.

mm love these candy colors. Great inks as usual!
