Hats off to Mooney...


But I find this bloke tough - he's as dull as ditchwater to draw. I think comics NEED larger than life looking characters, both to sustain the interest of readers and artists - NONE of those characters translate very well to the screen (well... with the exception of Iron Man) the quirkiness needs to be toned down before it hits the big screen (imagine ANYTHING designed by Kirby appearing on screen, it'd look like the effects where made by children - and I LOVE Kirby-Tech) so, going the other way - taking an on screen character to the page means you have to find some angle of attack - Mooney goes for realism and I tend to start looking for features to exaggerate so I can make them look more comic book. Anyhue, old Boreanz, has a big old conk, a high forehead, some high cheek bones and spikey hair. Oh, and a leather jacket (just like every other bloody mopey comic book character). I should have drawn him vamped up.

I'm an idiot.
