Thought I’d post some scans of this cover showing a little process. I don’t think I’ve showed them before. This is going to be the cover to the Invincible handbook trade paperback. Also we have a poster and a shirt coming out in December with this image. Thanks everybody!
Ryan
Note to self: order poster and shirt.
Is that shirt the same one that was going around at San Diego 2006?
No, that was a REALLY old drawing on that shirt. This shirt at least has a drawing I LIKE On it.
*glaahhhggg*
Ohhhhh.
Sorry, I think I just drooled on myself a little bit.
I will be buying this book.
and this shirt.
and this poster.
and your hands…
so great as always, I hope to see the handbook soon in spain, I’m keen to see it.
YES THIS IS THE BEST DRAWING EVER, I WILL USE IT AS WALLPAPER
NICE! do more step – by – steps ok?
my first comment (not my last) as a fan of your work , i’m really enthousiast seeing the way you worked on this poster. Could it be the first of a long list. Really interesting…. i’m learning… i’ll surely use it in my own process. Thank you!!!!
awesome as ever. just out of curiosity, how long does something like this take you?
Yea this is really awesome. its cool to see the step by step process. Keep up the great work.
So if I wanted to purchase this poster and shirt where would I be able to do so? There aren’t any comic shops near my place of residence. Any suggestions?
Note to Brad: Move out of the Boondocks and into a town with at least 10,000 people. : )
This is sweet! I think I’m going to have to totally geek out and buy one of these shirts. Hopefully it’s made with a Beefy-T, I really like a cotton shirt with some substance. As for the poster, that is a given, though I’m torn as what poster to remove from my garage wall to make room; Farah Fawcett in a rainbow swim suit and dolphin shorts or my Mr-T “I piddy da foo who mess with me!” posters.
Fantastic stuff, as always.
*Love* seeing the step by step, thanks!
Eric I will have you know that I live in a city with at least 300,000 residents and about 500,000 when you include the rich bastards from chicago that enjoy their summer homes here on the shores of lake michigan. However many comic shops have been attempted & never have survived more than a few years. I almost opened my own 2 years ago but if you do the numbers it is almost impossible for a comic retailer to turn a profit without selling roughly 10,000 books a week. The profit margin on a book is well below a dollar when all costs are subtracted. It’s sad that it is difficult for one to support a family and try to make what they love available to the public. In fact I only know of one comic shop within a 60 mile radius. Can anyone tell that I am frustrated.
Astounding stuff, Ryan! Very nice to see the process that you go through in creating a piece of artwork.
Brad, sorry to pour salt in your wounds. What a bummer! It’s sad that a comic shop can’t find a home is a pretty large city. Hope one opens up closer to you soon.
this looks great Ryan! always awesome to see another artists’ process work. Love it!!!
Hey there Ryan. I was flipping through the A-Z dictionary that just came out. I noticed that there were no sketches are in there that you did from Comic Con? Did something happen? Thanks.
