This one was a fun jam piece, done with the incomparable
Andy Belanger for a fundraiser for
HeroesCon in North Carolina. We always like working together, with me putting tones and inks over Andy's pencil art -- it's easy to work with a guy who lets you just run wild over his artwork.
Andy pitched a few ideas: "Ali vs. Superman in front of a Vegas crowd" ("Too many people!" was my response), "Macross robots!" ("Too many ruler lines!", my reply) before he came up with the one that made me go "
Oooooh" --
Snake Plissken from the classic
Escape from New York.
Andy provided the excellent pencil drawing, to which I added the coloured tone and ink on paper. You can see his pencil art below, and check out another of our collaborations at this link.
