Until recently, I had been on the lookout for whatever book you would end up on after X-Factor, and I'm very happy that it's going to be LSH. One other thing about X-Factor: that page in issue # 8 where Siryn mesmerizes Spider-Man is pure gold, one of the high points of that series.

Not to compare to anyone else's work, but it was important to me to have Alan Scott look like an older man. It's important to his character. Thank you for your comment on the covers. I just turned in the cover to 34, just finished the art on 32 (which will be colored over the next few weeks) and just got the plot to 33 which is hi-larious!

Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 4,926 Tampa I just flipped through Dennis' Hawkgirl issue. Liked it. What I like most is his use of black/shadowing. I can also tell he is not a "superhero" artist. He's an artist. I was more impressed with Hawkgirl's helmet then her superhero poses. I always thought the Legion should have a more sci-fi feel to them and I think Dennis will deliver there.

Loved yet again the latest cover preview (with Lightning Lad, Light Lass and Colossal Boy). Can't wait to see the rawkin' interiors! Dennis, Do you have any influences? Your art reminds me of Jae Lee a bit, an artist I've always wanted to see do a take on LSH. Visit the FULL FRONTAL FANDANGO & laugh along with Lash at http://lashlaugh.wordpress.com/

And for all you zombie fans, he did some fine work reprinted recently in the 28 WEEKS LATER prelude trade. 18-25? I thought Invisible kid was only 14? Just spouting off.

That could be my mistake. Thank you, yes Countdown was out last week and the collective opinion seems rather positive. and of course 28 weeks later features not only my work but some pretty cool work from other artists as well. As far as my influences, my main one would have to be a combo of Al Williamson and Carravgio, an italian painter. I do look at jae's work and alex ross's in that I try to learn from their graphic interpretation of reality.

I think I saw his work in El Prado but I forgot most of the famous works I saw there. Which reminds me. It doesn't flow as good but Goya's black peroid rocks.

Really dark backgrounds that made his characters jump out and look 3-D. Though the characters are flat they seem to be floating in front of you.

If you don't remember, i'm the french guy that bought the 2 Legion prints and you did an Atom Girl sketch for me. A little bit of no luck, because when i was with Dennis, the big poster promotion that was behind him fell off and it made a big glass of coffee fell on the table! Otherwise, a nice moment as Dennis is a really nice guy. Too bad he had these computers problems during his panel. Also, I felt a little stupid when i got to meet him, as he kept asking me if i had any questions, and i kept having a blank, not really knowing what to say. About the sketch, i like it but i must admit i was a little surprised by her face the first time i saw it, but after having a better look, i can see the detailed work you did on her expression, and i like it. I think it is giving her more character, and it goes with the way you drew her. So thank you very much Dennis, and i hope you had a great convention.

Posts were good. I appreciated the inside thoughts without the molly collying as well the fairness with which you handled our opinions. I don't know much about X books but I am enjoying your art run with legion very much and look forward to seeing your creations again if you draw a book to my reading tastes.
