    Usually, I feel about 20-30% of an artist professional work goes unseen. Great idea on a book!

    • @MrSamane22
      @MrSamane22 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      I would go and say 50%-70% go unseen. An artist curate so much of his work, all the sketches and unpolished ideas never get out of the room usually.

      It happened twice: First Suicide Squad movie, featured a Harley/Joker dance with a tuxedo, precisely from a Ross work. Another one: The Batman, some of the Penguin's facials and gestures were extracted from Batman: War at crime, a Dini/Ross colaboration.

    Super Kool. Born in the mid 1960s I was into comics by the early 1970s. Brings me back to that time. Alex's work is amazing in its own right and I love that he pays homage to another great from our childhood. So glad to see him share this work and his thoughts. As someone who grew up with a knack and love for drawing, painting and art in general I admire his dedication to the craft and all the hard years he's put in. ☮️

    It’s incredible to see Alex talk about interpreting another master’s work and applying it to an original take on a character.
    It really shows a mastery of the craft and a sublime understanding of the work to present a convincing interpretation of *another artist and writer’s work* .
    It’s also nice to see him doing simpler artwork. Shows how well those essential skills transfer. This is a must buy work of Ross’.

    Wow, the Jack Kirby interpretation angle is something along the lines of what I pondered recently. I was thinking about the DC Just Imagine Stan Lee line; I was thinking that what that exercise was truly about was if Marvel created/published the DC characters. IMO, I think he went the wrong direction as an image of Superman by Marvel hit my mind. I imagined that the design should have maintained color most of the elements while removing some to fit the Marvel aesthetic; no trunks, a cape that mirrored how Thor's flowed, etc. OR Omega the Unknown type design. I even figured that Stan and Co. would have his powers to be tied to his spectacles; remove them and he gets super, put them on and he's normal: that would fit with the loser trope that they're famous for. I'm gonna get this book
