inking xtinction - 4 (((the sound of uncertainty)))

(((inside my head, every day)))

 

there are times where i am trying to do something and i don't know what

 

with apocalypse: it's trying to work out what i liked so. much. about walt simonson

because i'm not a simonson superfan, i'm not reading all that thor shit.  but

i thought simonson on x-factor was actually pretty righteous.  i dug on all

the dashed-off weird reflections w/ chrome filigree he would add to everything,

almost compulsively.  he had a real punk energy to his art at that time, i dunno,

and i felt him kind of flexing at mignola, too, like oh a contender.  his art was more fun,

competetive.  after leaving x-factor he became kind of a famously fastidious & consistent

workman, but for a minute it felt like he was in the dojo just throwing down, like wildstylin

i didn't CARE about or like anything apocalypse brought to the table of the summers saga

i kind of dug apocalypse whenever mignola got to draw him.  but otherwise idgaf.  he looks doofy

so ultimately this is all just me rehearsing textures & working out ocd kinks

 

it's not entirely a simonson tribute.  i find myself trying to do something

but it's not silvestri, like on the left, with sinister.  that's me aping silvestri

apocalypse just winds up being something else.  i dunno.  i hope james (tiberius) likes it

 

i'll be glad to start inking the rest soon
