Kidding...
It's actually a private commission piece.
Very much a die-hard fan of the original run drawn by Steve Ditko, there's plenty after him who've done a fine turn, but for me, nobody expressed that otherworldly weirdness any better than Ditko.
Looking thru the Essential Doctor Strange Vol 1 - in glorious black and white - left my jaw dangling in admiration and reminded me how profoundly the guy influenced me; the attention to atmosphere and the character of a place; the bold poses; the dramatic use of light and shade.
And everything belonged on the page, nothing seemed wasted or superfluous. Not an easy thing to do, and studying his work again, i realise I've still got so much more to learn.
agreed ditko rules on doc strange, your version looks fab ,the art would make a great t-shirt!, you should draw a mini series of the good doc :-)
ReplyDeleteBy the Shades of the Seraphim, that is one crackin' piece of art mate.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore this!!!! Wish you could be drawing Dr. Strange for real! Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Shame, great work!!!
ReplyDeletejon - cheers! i'd say ditko ruled on a lot of the books he did.
ReplyDeletei'd LOVE to draw a mini series - not likely, but stranger things have happened...
