When the comic shown below first came out in '94, I admired the cover and for whatever reason held off getting it. I went back to the store the next day to buy it, but it was sold out. I checked other stores, and they were all sold out. I put in an order for it and it was unavailable. For months I would routinely check the comic bins. Finally almost a year later I found a mint copy in the back number bins of the store where I first saw it. The interior of the book meant nothing to me, I-just-wanted-that-Adam-Hughes-cover! I'm sure it's easily available now, but I have it, and it's not for sale.
Sheesh, what we fanboys don't go through.
that first image shows that Mucha's influence is EVERYWHERE! nice sketches!
ReplyDeletesame story here, mate! I bought the book solely because of that absolutely beautiful cover, and, yep, the insides stunk to high heaven!
ReplyDeleteI love Adam Hughes' work. His lines are so simple yet they speak volumes. The ability to "say" so much with a simple line is one I admire greatly and really have to struggle to achieve in my own work.
ReplyDeletePlus his ladies are smokin' hot.
Nice and thanks so much for including the process work. :]
ReplyDeleteAdam Hughes is one of my Heroes. I wish the new art book of his had twice as many pages. Thanks for posting this!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is some of his breast work, er, uh, best work.
