Description
I don't know. I like the first B&W one I posted, but this also satisfies a certain itch. Which do you all think is better/cooler?

Pretty cool work, love the feel of it and the poses!
Thank you! I'm glad.
amazing superhero image!
Thank you very much.
cool style, very well.
Thank you. I'm glad you are enjoying it.
Again, I love it, but the first is the best! By a substantial margin in my opinion!
Each has merits and a place where it would work perfectly (your titles fit too!), but the first just brings that "old school" action hero feel in spades.
And since that was kinda the whole point of the original Rocketeer Graphic Novel (which came out in the early 80s!) I take that as a great compliment.
awesome idea to do that in mono
Thank you.
Excellent presentation! This really ROCKS, or should I say Rockettes? A marvelous creation and fine realization! Many fine kudos!
Thank you. It's been good fun, and good practice!
beautiful black and white effect comics, a great success
Thanks!
Excellent artwork!
Thank you very much.
Cool, for me the best this serie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aww, thank you. That makes me happy. Glad you like it, and hope you are having a fantastic day!
Looking good.....its a very hit or miss..in any subject matter B&W...but it works here nicely....class vintage image...!!
Thank you. I remember when my Mom did B&W photography. A lot has to go into that, to get it right. Heck, they used to never use white on old TV programs because it messed with the final result. That's why the color "TV Yellow" exists - it looks "white" in Black and White.
Glad you see you, my friend.
all three versions are most super.
It's hard to pick a favorite. This is the one I chose to post on Instagram, but it came down to the wire.
Very beautiful! Great scene, superb B&W. Work well done. 👍🙋♂️
Thanks, Saby!
Of the two b/w images I prefer this one.
Thank you for the feedback.
Excellent ! This reminds me of Edward Hopper's artistic works, in some way.
Thank you. I'll have to look him up.
Oh. Cool. I've seen his work, and I'm sure I heard the name before. That is a nice compliment. Thank you.
I tend to gravitate to this one of the 2 B&W images. For some reason I like the crisper, slightly more contrasty feel this has. A most fascinating exploration of styles.
Thank you. Yes, I have learned quite a bit from these, and spending THREE DAYS going back and forth between Daz studio and GIMP. But, I think I nailed my style down and it's off to the story!
It looks super. I love this new style you are experimenting with.
Thank you. Been experimenting most of the week now, but now I got something started with the comic. The goal is 32 pages. I'm going to storyboard it out, because I think I got a plot now. See what happens, because when I write a novel, I typically find that the characters take over.
