I'm a very petty fella. For those who don't know, my good friend, my amigo if you will, Stephen Mooney has been kicking arse on his variant ANGEL covers for IDW. I was delighted for him, but also very jealous. Now he's drawing issues of the actual book, so imagine how happy for him/jealous of him i am! Having seen some of his great pages i've seen how he's been nailing likenesses, which are very, very hard to do. So i recently thought i'd see if i could do a decent enough job at ANGEL likenesses, just to test myself. Here are the varied results. First, the big man himself...
My very first try. Hmmm. Not bad, but not good enough really.
My second try. Kinda there; getting closer. Still not good enough though...
My third try. THAT'S more like it. Really happy with this one.
My fourth try. Yeah, i really like this one. I like the mood; the demon and soul of a vampire. Definitely the best of the bunch. Took me long enough!

So you're trying to steal Mooneys job you turd? Great art. You turd.
look at it from my point of view...
i slave away in a fucking shite dead-end job all fucking day,dreaming about becoming a famous comic book artiste,then i come home and trawl through your blog,and see the wonderful artwork you produce during the same hours when i'm knee deep in other peoples filth...
now that's jealousy,my friend.
and the art is fucking wonderful,it really is.
Dunno man, I really like em all.
Hope Ryall's not lookin to closely, or I can kiss my job goodbye!
You turd.
The third one is definitely my favourite.
I've sent those DVDs out to you by the way, I stuck on a rake of stamps so hopefully it finds it's way.
Awesome. Awesome to the max. Although I like the first one the most. Probably because it looks the least like it's based on a specific photo. There all lovely though.
Awesome to the max? Not Max to the X-treme?
Ah cheers lads, glad ye like 'em. I'm pretty happy with 'em overall. Sayin' that, i took my time with 'em; i didn't bang 'em all out in a day like Mooney has to.

"Awesome. Awesome to the max" is a Futurama quote Dec, I'm shocked you didn't pick up on that.
yeah dec, better hand in that nerd badge because you SUCK!
Of course i picked up on it Thompson, that's the one with the 80s guy. One of my favourites. I was trying to 'knock it up a notch' with a nugget of my own.
That's 30 Rock right John?
