I was kind of hoping this would turn into a comic art SHOWING page.
These are indeed good, the last one looking like something from the Romantic era. However, I'd rather you made a new thread and let this one stay more on topic.
Anyway, when I asked you how much effort you put into the comparison, I meant, how much effort did you put into looking at the work of Abaddon and Cope?

Also, please start using the inline image tags (imghide) when showing such large images. For example:
[imghide=A tiger and an ape discuss philosophy.]http://www.nofna.com/arcs/1/139.png[/imghide]

No problem.

Did I google them and dig through their inventory? No. I used your link to see what you thought was their best work. I would rather you have done like I did and NOT made it where I have to click a tag. That makes it easier to just look at something without effort being made on the part of the viewer as you yourself did originally. Are you still not using the fit to phone setting? It helps a lot. What I'm doing is making it easier if you have that. Nothing about the forum is easy if you don't. I think it is in settings but I don't recall how it is listed when actually ON the phone. Mostly I'm on one computer or other. I click insert image here and on the image in another window right click the image then save on the copy image address to take to the TTLG page. As I understand it that places the burden on the original site instead of this one.
All moot now though. Your page. Carry on.

Just to add to Tocky’s ramblings..I think Wrightson is great (check out ‘The Cult’ 4 part Batman comic if you haven’t already, it’s fantastic) but I do think there are people just as good as him knocking about today/recently. One is Moebius/Jean Giraud, and the pic here does not represent his best work. Check out ‘The eyes of the cat” or the ‘edena’ or incal comics, or ‘40 days in the desert’. Giger said about him ‘he could draw like a machine, it was astounding’.
I think Syd Mead is as good, albeit very different. I think Alan Lee is just as good, albeit very different. I think Giger was as good, albeit very different. Ok so 3 of these are dead, and the other is in his seventies. So it might look like I’m talking crap, but I would argue..there’s plenty of incredible artist’s on Instagram right now. I don’t follow too many 2d/illustrator types, but there’s loads of awesome sculptors and ceramic artist’s on there. I’m sure there are plenty of brilliant 2d people if you dig a little.

Looking at the other thread, apparently comics art is something the TTLG alumni are eager to discuss! I'll call this thread a success, as the usual response to me proselytizing NofNA is crickets.
