| Savage #3 Cover B by Joe Quinones |
Here's some final thoughts on Nathan Stockman's penciling and inking in Savage #3.
Firstly, I like how Nathan, as an artist, generally gets the perspective right. In the above panel, Kevin looks small in the background, but not disproportionately so compared to his chief butler Al. It's easy for an artist to make a character in the foreground look like a giant compared to those in the distance. This recently happened in a comic by an artist whose work I've long admired, and it threw me out of the story.
Secondly, I really like this lightbulb moment. Kevin's clearly been struck by inspiration. No background needed!
Thirdly, here's a reminder of what Kevin's left behind. We glimpse his older brother Henry in his posh London flat. It looks similar to Kevin's. Or was Kevin living in Henry's apartment? More on that in my Savage #3 story review.
Lastly, here's a tiny panel from beyond the preview pages in Savage #3. For those of you who may not have picked up your copy of Savage #3, I don't want to throw out too many spoilers. So I'll just hint that the purple-tentacled creature that attacks Kevin isn't the only monster we'll see in this issue. Project Bizarre has clearly been busy, as has Nathan Stockman. But then, what would you expect of an artist who draws cities, monsters, tropical islands, and people equally well?
