I find your work awe-inspiring, and it easily ranks among those aforementioned giants that have inspired you.

When does this release? Will the work be colored? If so, that's fine but I hope not.

Very kind of you to say. Thank you! All my stories are in The Savage Sword of Conan, which is black and white. The first is in #8, which is the next one. It's an 11 page story called 'The Wuthering'. The next is in #11. I'm not sure when that's due out, but it's 48 pages plus cover, and the story is called 'Tattered Wings'.

the 2nd pic.. it shouts and whispers at the same time.. *find someone to create a 3d version of it and then put out a set of (action)figures. Do it. DO IT!*

Let me say, this is some of the best line work I’ve seen you done. The textures are amazing and varied.

While I agree with the Bescuma, Frazetta and BWS comparisons, you are not copying their style: but a concept.

Young folks don’t remember the limited color palette of newsprint comics. You have captured the era of when Black ink gave the shape of the world, and did the heavy lifting.

Just as the more minimalist “clean line” used color to give shape and depth

Bravo sir, bravo.

Doc, I feel these stories will come to new heights. You've said you'll make the last image available as a print at cons. Would it be possible to purchase one from Sharpy Enterprises Intergalactic (I know it would require taking the time to package and ship it)?

Thanks Gide! As and when we get the prints made I'll let you know and we can figure something out. Very best!
