so why not w/ the cover to Sinbad #2.

Nicky-Fingaz [2007-04-16 12:32:03 +0000 UTC]

It's really nice. I have one minor suggestion. I think the coloring needs to have a little more range from light to dark. If you flipped it to b&w you may see that it looks a little too evenly gray.

Granted Mignola does that sometimes, but he often has the big red Hellboy to make the image pop. Since you have no big red, I'd suggest more gradated tones.

Keep the blacks just like they are.

Just trying to help.

good suggestion..

never looked at it that way..

i was mainly lookin at cover w/ lobster johnson etc
and yeh.. the colours weren't as 'in your face' as the ones w/ HB

so i went that route

while I'm not sure it fits the enterior (not having read it), that's an extremely tight homage to the man. ^___^ great work with the layout and colors!

theCHAMBA In reply to thinkbomb [2007-04-16 07:38:29 +0000 UTC]

it's an 'alternate' cover

and those can usually look pretty much like anything

sinbad in europe

i think when it's released it should be available for order anywhere there's a comic shop

i kno it will be in the previews magazine for comic book listings.. so when it's out i would assume it would be available for order.

Pretty fat-tastic work, cornman.




Great composition, flawless excecution of style and line balance. Also, the unity of the colors used is pretty damn tight.

Top-notch, as always.

(I also thought it was incredibly hilaroius how you mixed up the i and the / in your coding, so that it showed up as , and left the rest of the message in italics.)

Tres cool. Kind of reminds me more of Bachalo then Mignola though... who is also a great artist.

theCHAMBA In reply to RomeoC [2007-04-14 16:50:50 +0000 UTC]

i can kind've seen a Bachalo, mainly coz he also has a damned lot of shades


this in reality if more of a 'chamba's take on mignola's style' piece

bachalo's cool and all, but i get nothing from his style... doesn't entirely do it for me

RomeoC In reply to theCHAMBA [2007-04-17 01:44:56 +0000 UTC]

Well be that as it may... I see strong resembalance to Bachalo...
