Hello, Cetriya
Mike Emeritz 
Jeff's had enough of these shenanigans.?
Mike Emeritz 
What Kevin said about Frazzetta/Shultz was a great example.
cetriya 
most wouldn't guess at my influences since all they see is 'manga'. but I've been influced by Negal, Lyendecker, Gibson and others (sorry for the misspellings)  that are not manga  artists.
Sid Airbrush 
been away for a bit. Glad to see you all still doing these art casts.
Mike Emeritz 
love that Tomorrowland-type stuff
michael whitcombe 
just got in from cycling.. almost missed this ?
Samuraiox 
That Invisible Man is bitchin?
Mike Emeritz 
Definitely!?
Kevin Cross 
Thanks!
Mike Emeritz 
LOL! "They exist, why should I?" Dude... that sums up that negative train of thought perfectly.
Kevin Cross 
How's everyone?
Mike Emeritz 
What can you do to get away from thinking like that?
cetriya 
for 'pick me up' I just look at my old stuff and compare to my new stuff. It helps me keep in mind that I am improving.
Samuraiox 
I think finding this group and hearing you guys' tribulations have helped me get past that stage and get to a point where i'm striving to be on the same playing field
cetriya 
currently, I love Sean gordan murphy's stuff.
Samuraiox 
agreed cetriya! I love all the WIP shots he puts on twitter and I want to be that good!!
Thomas Clemmons 
What helped me develop a style and kind of keeps me from pining over other artists -  a little bit - is that I set rules of what I wanted to do.
Mike Emeritz 
Right on. Hey Thomas!?
Thomas Clemmons 
Hiya?
Thomas Clemmons 
That point about getting it done and not worrying over it forever has been what the 100's has helped me do A LOT!
Samuraiox 
agreed thomas! Since I'm doing 13 issues i know its going to be at least a couple more years working on this project and that without much else. Nose to the grindstone until each issue is complete!
Mike Emeritz 
Right on. The general idea is just to try not to compare yourself and move on. Makes sense. I definitely feel a bit like what Kevin mentioned about being tired, so maybe I'm close to moving on.?
cetriya 
what I get from my influences are composition, direction and line work
Thomas Clemmons 
The Incredibles Did that vague time period thing really well.
Mike Emeritz 
YESH! So many people don't like Moore these days. Love that guy. He's a magic comic wizard
cetriya 
thanks for the chat ?
Mike Emeritz 
Thanks for another great show, guys! And thanks for tackling my question too.
Samuraiox 
Another great show!
