Thank you very much, Eggie. I hope Marvel feels the same.

[Balian]

Your work is really great man.

[BoosterBronze]

Wish I had more to say other thant "AWESOME" but that's all I'm thinking.

[Jon Malin]

Balian and BoosterBronze- Thank you both very much. I'll be talking to Marvel next week regarding these pages so hopefully I get somewhere with them this time.

Keep us posted on what happens...if they don't hire you they are totally insane!

[Affinity]

Wow!

That's so cool to see someone else's entirely different take on the same script!

Very cool. Amazing work, man!

[Balian]

Keep us posted on what happens...if they don't hire you they are totally insane!

Yeah, keep us posted.

Great work man! I REALLY like your stuff. It's definitely better than some of the stuff they're publishing at the moment!

a few hints though, constructive, promise:

Page7, the first3 panels are fantastic, but with the last panel, Scott's face looks a bit flat. With close ups like that, just add hints of contour. I know a lot of guys leave that up to the coloring, but it will make your pencilling stronger, and you give them the option to follow YOUR portrayel of his face.

Page8, Same thing with white queen's face. You have a solid side profile but not a lot of features as there need be. Don't get me wrong, it's not something WRONG, but something that would make it work better. I struggled with the same thing (I'll post a page on my 'Phreak's sketchbook' after this for you to check out). My personal opinion is just that one should never become complacent with doing as other artists do, but rather aim to do it differently or better. This page is powerful though, and Wolferine at the right bottom in the reader's face works perfectly. Emma might just be a bit 'posed' behind him.

Page9: Is perfect, and works for me, and having read the comic, I kinda know what was happening too.

I think your work is great though, and I personally wish I could draw such clean pencils! Anyway, keep up the awesome work, and keep us posted.

Cap and Iron Man.

[SamuraiJack]

That's some very impressive work, Jon. I'd love to see it inked and colored...

[Jaye]

Wow, how long did that take?
Its stunning.

[Kaos]

thats pretty damn cool due, inked and coloured would be TIGHT

[Ontir]

I noticed a similarity in Cap's face, to Liefield, before scrolling down and seeing the Supreme link; but your heads are in much better proportion to your bodies. I really liked the illustration, moreso, than the "Supreme" cover, and would like to see more of your work.

[Jon Malin]

eggie- Nothing concrete yet, they have their eye on a possible project but way to soon at this point. I'll have notices on my myspace page for any announcements. I'll try to post an annoucement here as well but it'll certainly be found on myspace.

Affinity- Thanks, yeah I felt the same way after I drew it. About a week later I went to a comic shop and found a copy of the actual issue and it was sweet seeing the different approach.

Balian- I'm sure I'll let it be known in these boards but certainly on my myspace page.

Phreak SA- Thanks, great tips. I'll keep them in mind. Glad you're liking the work overall.

SamuraiJack- You'll certainly see it colored. I had a request for a high res for coloring about a week ago, I figure another week might be a good guess, depends on the artist though.


13th- I don't believe it took more than 5 hours. Glad you like the work.


Kaos- Thanks, I'm really looking forward to seeing it colored. I believe he's going to give it a painterly look so it'll be interesting.

Ontir- Rob is a big influence on my work.

You can see more of my work in the Supreme comic I drew(Supreme Sacrifice #0) or the 2 Nitrogen books I drew. If your shop doesn't have copies they can order them or you can get them at the Arcade booth or JayCompany booths in SD or Chicago. Beyond published work, I should have something new posted pretty soon.
