Yeah, but Ironcommando can do period pastiche better than any of us and make us look stupid. It's his thing. Period pastiche, I mean, not making us look stupid. I can do that for myself. Making myself look stupid, I mean, not period pastiche.
See?

Hey Thanks IMP, I think-
Look, i'm not even entering the challenge-
as a contestant-
i just wanna see sum knew stuff.
I'd like to see futuristic takes on old and period characters
rather than retro pastiche anyway.
I havent done any Red Wolf pics yet, He just came to mind as a character that might be fun to do different interpretations of---
mainly because nobody else has- due to his obscurity.
Anyoo- for all the stupids out there, unite!
we shall overcome! |

I don't know a lot about "Iron Age Comic Books" or whatever it is, but pulp- or pulp-style supervillians would be good: do they have to be actual classic pulp/noir characters?
How about Pulp Cover Art? (for comics or story mags.) |

So is that two votes for "Iron Age Comic Books", and does that mean Conan again?  |

OK --- How about a tribute to Edgar Rice Buroughs-
Tarzan, John Carter of Mars, Carson of Venus ect.
or a Robert E' Howard tribute
Conan, Kane, King KULL,{ i think}, ect.
anyway ,just an idea on variety and exotic imagery. |

When we get to Bronze Age books, do we have to go look at cave paintings?

Conan sounds good to me, although Lord knows where I'm going to find a muscly barbarian to photograph at this time of night - how busy are you Hasdrubal?
Nice signature digitalmagi - does smirking count?

Also Dr Who annuals - I've got one so old it's got William Hartnell on the cover!

Dunno, but imagine the fun you could have trying to find one.
"Excuse me sir, but you remind me of Conan the Barbarian. Will you cover yourself in oil and hold this severed head of your enemy so I take your picture?"

you will be amazed at how easily a muscled type at a gym will say yes to a reference photo so long as they get a copy.

Pulp super villans like?
How about some names?
That is the trouble with having a general catagory, doesnt really work if it is too broad. Narrow the field some and it is easier to compare the various works. |
