snowy samurai!


here's a pin-up i did (with rico on colors) for the upcoming dark horse trade of the second "samurai: heaven and earth" series. ron marz and luke ross have a fantastic historic-action-adventure-love story here, and if you haven't read it... you should (the first trade is out now)...
ron had the brilliant idea of doing a pin-up trade for both the perhapanauts and samurai (and if you've seen luke's pin-up, clearly todd and i got the better end of that deal)...

man, i can't stop looking at the recent "drink and draw" book from image... i've always loved dave johnson's stuff as well as jeff johnson, but i was blown away by dan panosian's stuff (and i've spent a good long time checking out his sweet blog... http://urbnbarbarian.blogspot.com/)

-c

so, season finale of battlestar is this weekend (and i imagine there's gonna be one helluva cliffhanger until next year)... and the finale of rome (it's a toss up which i liked more, this or deadwood... two of the best shows on hbo... or tv, for that matter)... and i certainly hope andy barker lasts longer than these 6 episodes, but i doubt it, which is a shame (last night's was pretty damn funny)

I don't know about the "better of the bargain" thing, as that samurai is pretty damn cool - pun intended. I love the effect of the snow and the red blood against the stark white snow on the ground makes for a very dramatic contrast.

As for Panosian's stuff, that there's some awful purty art right there. My favorite was his animated take on Gwen Stacey.

Wow, I'm like dan panosian's stuff over at his blog. Especially the nudes... errr.. from an artistic point of view, of course!

Brian said...

Nudes? Hmmm, I didn't notice . . .

I agree with brian on the contrast between the snow and blood. Also like the detail on the suit he's wearing.

Speeeaking of Gwen Stacy... Craig? :p

So did we see that coming on Battlestar G? Very interesting...too bad we have to wait until early 2008 to see the continuation...however we will see some back story on Pegasus starting this late Summer.
