Hi Guys
Here's the scans of the latest cover, from layout to inks. No thumbnail I'm afraid this month - I think it went astray somewhere between Baltimore and Holland! smile

As usual I have to thank Nightcrawler for hosting the images - hope you enjoy them!

Beautiful!

I keep staring at them looking for more clues. laugh

I think that the unidentified flyer nearest the main robot is either Radiation Roy or some other new Legionnaire.

I think the second panel, before the lines are all darkened up, is actually better-looking...

The more I see the black and whites, the more I think that the coloring job isn't really doing the line art many favors.

Beautiful! I love the black & white covers. There's so much detail in that scene - the rubble from the buildings, the robot circuitry - how many hours did you spend on that?


Holy Cats of Egypt!

Timber Wolf, maybe?

WOW! That is really beautiful, Barry. Congratulations. The detail is astonishing! I wonder do you ever want to just blow the deadline so that you can color the cover as well as pencil and ink it?


So what.

Hi Guys - Thanks again! smile

There's probably about 20 hours work in that spread over two days, but it doesn't seem that long when I'm doing it.

I would love to take longer over every page - I would absolutely love to be able to do the whole process for every single page and ignore every deadline....but then we'd have an awful lot of fill-in issues smile Having a great inker like Mick for the interiors really helps with letting the pages go out in pencil knowing they are in good hands.

As for coloring the covers - I'd have to spend a few months mastering Photoshop first! I just about manage to do a few rough guides occasionally, but I'm a long way from being able to do the sort of finished look guys like Nathan can achieve....maybe one day though... wink


Cheers

Great robot thumb! Love the tech drawing on the robo-hand. It's my favorite part!

Great! Another beautiful cover by Barry!
I'm lacking words to say how this cover is great.

I like that we see the whole team on it, that means it is something big, so the whole team is needed.
i hope that it means some characters will have some more panel time, i can't wait to see some in actions.
