Mysteria

So the pages I finished a few months back finally saw print the other day. I penciled them out and then learned I would also be inking myself. But I had fun with it and it has been my first published work that has truly been collaborative, I haven't just been a penciler on a project yet but this is pretty close considering it passed through a letterer and a colorist before it hit the presses. So that has been an interesting experience to get used to. I did the first 8 pages, not including the black title page.

I'm still trying to see if it is alright to post the original art now since the final art is open source anyhow.
You can use the thumbnails along the right hand side, the labeled arrows at the bottom or just click the pages to navigate.

Super Heroes?


Shadow Hawk Holiday Sketch by ~xaqBazit on deviantART
You can check the DA page for info on the above sketch. Anyways, read this snippit from Elementals Vol. 2 #10 by Bill Willingham (not Wilmingham, as I have mistakenly refered to him in previous posts - my bad!) that basically states, contrary to popular belief that "Super Heroes are not Role Models" but rather self centered beings on a power "trip" for easy self gratification. Can see his point, what do you think? If super heroes are our generations form of Myths and legends to pass on morals - what exactly are we passing or teaching our young ones, per se?
(Hope people don't mind me posting a few of these every now and then, I think they are brilliant for conversation and some "different" opinions.
