“Today, in our field, there is so much talent and recognition that we are reaching a saturation point. An artist should no longer strive only for breathtaking craftsmanship; he should, instead, try to help us live better, either by dressing the wounds that are constantly being opened by society, or by offering solutions to get us out of the mess we’re in…But it’s going to be difficult and we have a lot of work to do.” - Jean 'Moebius' Giraud

BLACK SUIT_90 minutes
I bought a suit to wear to a wedding.
I bought a suit to wear to a wedding, but instead I thought about wearing it to a party.
I bought a suit to wear it to a party, but instead I'm wearing it to a funeral.
I'm moved by your quiet narrative stuff. Those are always my favorite illustrations of yours. Like the girl drawing the animals on the ground. There's just something about those. I hope there will be some quiet moments in the action packed pages of JUMP!
The angle on this is just beautiful - my favourite bit is, I think, the slice of person and in consequence, just that small slice of life caught for a poignant moment.
It's gorgeous. And the narrative is perfect too.
(Oh, and I love the other stuff before this that I've caught up on especially the walk-through on drawing the script. Really educational!)
Hey, I found this here blog of yours, your stuff looks pretty excellent.
I read that JJ's email, now let me just say this, I'm also an artist of ten years that knows many 3D programs and has extensively studied the human form and graphic storytelling (though you could never tell from my shitty art these days) and I have to say that a lot of your stuff blows me away.
I think you have a pretty solid foundation, and your anatomy is damn fine, yeah, the feet are a bit strange, but what the hey, it's your style man. And using thick border panels is an excellent idea I think, I wish I had the confidence to make them as thick as you do (i'm a pussy, really).
anyway this is a great drawing, I like how you've curled up the belt ontop of the suit
Inspiring stuff! Enough so that you got a few of my friends and I started on making our own illustrations of the day. keep it up and don't let those critics that sent you that letter bring you down.

The shading looks great! I cant point out what its is but, the shoes look the best to me.
The suit should come with am Iron Man tie though.
That.. is so cool.
Looks like it'd be an awesome first panel to a Guy Ritchey/hitman/100 Bullets kinda comic.

....yep.....I wish it wasn't for a funeral.... :(
You do the quiet moments just as well as the big action scenes.
I feel the same way about my black suit- :( Condolences, man.
Fantastic composition
