18 days - more art

[sherkahn]

GilbertMusings.com has more absolutely phenomenal art from the upcoming hardcover in August.

Pretty art behind the cut.









One of the key things I read in the interviews between Morrison and Singh is that it's a "labor of love". And boy does this show it. I mean, look at the detail on the last pic with the dinosaurs... there is slobber on the bottom lip of the closest one. You can practically smell the breathe of the beast, hear the technology and clang of armor and feel the pressurized air around you as air craft fly overhead.

DC. Marvel. Next major "company defining" epic... GET THIS GUY to do it!

- Of note, this will also be an animated series! The art is for the hardcover book that precedes it. I have no idea to the quality of the animation itself. I hope it measures up to the book.

For legality, the aforementioned Grant Morrison cover to "Vimanarama" #1, the last time he played with the mythology.

[lissa_quon]

Sweet Angry Jesus....thats epic....I need to own this...like now, on sheets large enough to wallpaper my house with

[blake_reitz]

Are there wallpaper-sized images of these anywhere. Just askin'.

[sherkahn]

These are actually shrunk from the GilbertMusings.com website.

Can you imagine the "Big 7" Justice League like this?
The X-men?

If only Editors never got in the way...

I really just can't even handle how amazingly AWESOME this art is. .__. Seriously. Amazing.

[liara_shadowsong]

This art is spectacular. There really isn't anything else I can think to say right now. *goes back to staring*

[midnightvoyager]

I will not lie.

I totally came.

Wait, what is this? Oh my god, this is beautiful. Thank you for informing me it was coming. (I do not keep up with release news)

Reminds of "Dinotopia".

If they get around to creating a depiction of Goddess Kali in this, I can definitely predict an entire generation will have to change their underwear.

Gurney wrote a book a little while ago about how he sets up to do his art. He's got a pretty interesting and very involved practice.

There is NO WAY series animation could possibly live up to this, unless you had a budget as high as freakin' Neptune! Feature, I could see it, although you'd still probably have to cut corners a bit, but the level of detail would still be a huge bitch.

That said, if we get something that rises above the heavily stylized DCU work in terms of detail (maybe even above Avatar: The Last Airbender, and manage to keep the story intact (an even more difficult feat, given TV regulators), I'll be happy.

...someone wanna point James Cameron their way, if he still feels an urge to GGI 3D pretty blue people?

[queen_marshed]

My God, this looks so organically awesome. If the animated series is even a third as epic as this, it'll blow everybody's minds.

So, uh, is there such a thing as an artgasm? Because this is just...

[aaron_bourque]

Yeah, I think I had my first one for either for Amy Hadley's Madame Xanadu art or for Nicola Scott.

Aaron "The Mad Whitaker" Bourque; just Nicola Scott. All of her stuff is amazing.

Still gorgeous. My brother Matthew is a really good artist, and was instantly jealous looking at the previous post.
