Month of May - Which day? Poll

Do Barbarians count as Mayrauders? Our bunch have a bit of a barbarian thing going on...

It's the leather, isn't it? 😉

And the masses of skin and muscle... glistening with... Hang on gotta wash me brushes

Here's some comic

Some people got Kaleb, Jaek & Helwud cheap Easter '89! 😲 £1.99 a pack. Pffft.

That Ewins artwork really isn’t subtle is it! Almost a satire of the GW OTT skulls & blood fantasy… 😂

 

[ManicMan]

Ewins + McCarthy. when you deal with American style (a different penciler and inker) you need to remember how much a decent inker can add. Inkers are pretty damn important, as many bad inkers can show. (oh and I say American style because in north and south America, it's more common to have a different inker then penciler, when in the UK it's more common for the penciler to ink there own work)

Thank you for reminding me. 🙄

 

[ManicMan]

yeah ^_^ sorry, just one of these things I have a nasty habit with.. probably related to crediting... Many people well know people like Jack Kirby, and create him, but how many people know and credit the important works by people like George Klein?

 

[Brother Meredith]

As you can see from previous posts, I am a long time comic fan/nerd/collector so I am aware of Kirby’s more vevered inkers and the impact that inkers in general can have. Similar could be said of the colourists, with their contributions increasingly erased with (digital) recolouring and repackaging. 🤨

However, before this thread gets thrown any more off topic, barbarians are marauders, if allusions are made to chaotic influence all the better! 😁

... And before we do, here is some 'marauders', some inker/ colourist and the early work of the great Carlos Ezquerra on the front of a comic. soz! 😂

 

[ManicMan]

yep ^_^Well.. IF you want a connection there... but yes, that would be a bit off far off.

It wasn't a personal jab of course, and yes, Colourists are really getting a hard time but then, they always did. but yeah.. too far off topic.

I dunno, tangentially maybe some 1 will get some inspiration for painting a may-rauder mini from the great comic artist's work! Anyhow, was reading the Downthetubes blog and about Carlos. He did a few marauder/barbarian type front covers for 'Wizard'. [Tying loosely in with the 2000ad into the Kaleb Daark connection with Ewins/Mccarthy.... & Wagner! ]

I got a Kaleb - gonna dig him out and stick him in the strippah!

 

[Jamiie]

I might try to start painting again - I got a bit stalled a few weeks ago with work getting a bit mad and it swamped my head. I have some humans which will fit the merry month of may theme
