Just when you think Commander Chris Hadfield can’t get any cooler, he proves that nothing is impossible for astronauts. That is the entire point of astronauts. 

The world was expecting a fun farewell from the station commander, because we live in a world where a man in space communicating with millions of people on Earth for fun is something we take for granted, but this is beyond anything we could have hoped for. And utterly perfect.

So I was trying to do an avengers comic to try out my digital inking. Page one went okay…then page three went a bit squiffy. By the time I did page 2 I was trying out a new inking technique so the Loki page looks totally different to the others.

Edit:In panel one they’re using transparent computer thingies. I just realised it looks like they’re awkwardly waving, lol.

Frustration, thy name is me.

I think I might abandon this and write it off as a training exercise.

ryallsfiles: johnbyrnedraws: A normal day in the life of John Byrne. How do you spend yours? When asked what his normal day is like, John had this to say on his forum: The alarm goes off at seven and I start up town… Well, no, not really. I stopped using an alarm clock years ago. My internal clock seems more or less permanently set to wake me between 5:30 and 6. I get up, let the dog out (when I have one), feed the dog, get myself an apple or a banana, and head downstairs to the Studio. An hour or so at the computer, first, and hit the drawingboard usually by 8. Work until around 11 — roughly 2 pages of layouts and the first “layer” of inks — then have lunch, usually a mug of soup. Back to the board at 1, remaining inks on those two pages. Finish around 4 on most days. Occasional trips to the Forum pepper the day. Weekends, pretty much the same, except I work on commissions. Most evenings are spent vegetating in front of the TV. There are flurries of social activity — plays, movies, parties, dinners — but for some reason those tend to clump together, so I’ll have a busy couple of weeks, then nothing for a few months, then back into the cycle. This is a good photo of JB in the studio, but the angle doesn’t show his wall of amazing original Kirby and Wood art. The FF #5 page alone was mesmerizing.
