He retains so much of Ditko's style and that's where I completely failed, especially on the later pages. I'll post some more pages later but they won't be pretty.Kevin Nowlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13850394971503635916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766774655052451555.post-12656452445898355712010-03-03T11:52:57.857-06:002010-03-03T11:52:57.857-06:00Hi Kevin:

He even added shadows on this one!<br /><br />The final product looks like the prefect blend of Ditko & Nowlan, you keeping those unique Ditko touches all throughout.Michel Fiffehttp://michelfiffe.com/noreply@blogger.com
