Description
It's been a while since I uploaded anything that wasn't Transformers, so I thought I'd upload a pin-up I did recently as sort of a commission for IDW Publishing's Editor-In-Chief Chris Ryall.Chris is a big fan of the 1980s character ROM who was a toy that was developed into a Marvel Comic.
Unfortunately the rights to ROM are caught up in limbo (which is ironic if you are familiar with ROM fiction) so any future tales of the Galadorian Spaceknight are very much in doubt.
However, I was able to at least have some fun with the character.

ROM (and Micronauts) are coming back under IDW. The next best home beside Marvel who apparently had no interest in them. Great picture dude!

You know it never occurred to me how ironic it is that the rights to Rom are in limbo. That's a great picture by the way.

this is absolutely amazing.
ROM is one of my favorite comic book heros ever.
It makes me sad that he will probably never be seen again

I have a lot of Rom comics and he's one of my favorite characters that was ever published. I'm twenty-three and I like Rom, that's how good he really is.

Do you ever remember seeing one comic with the cover of Rom walking out of flames with holes in his body?
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmmmm..... No, I don't think so, actually. Any idea what issue?
π: 0 β©: 1
I think it was issue 1, if not I need to ask my dad again, because he entered a contest when he was younger and his picture of Rom that he worked on won and ended up on the cover of an issue..
I hae that picture somewhere back home, he told me they sent it back to him in a frame.

Arrggh! Friggin Dire Wraiths! New Warriors (back when it was good) made me hate those bastards!
Although I have to admit, I like the new and improved Galadorian space knights. Very clean looks.
*ahem* right. your pic.
AWESOME. Thank you for posting it.

Dude i used to loves me some Rom!!!!! You took me on a trip down nostalgia lane!!!!!

I had read an old comic of his when I was a little kid and I thought it was pretty neat.
Sometimes I wish I could remember more of the 80s.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ha. As do we all. There are a number of 80s properties that always make me stop and think.... what was that cartoon/comic/toy....?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I was only around for the last three years of the eighties though, so it sounds like I missed out on a lot of awesome stuff.

Very nice, seeing Ol' Rom really takes me back. hey Marvel published "Space Knights" which is a follow up of sorts to ROM: Spaceknight, so that's our best bet for now. I personally own the mini and really enjoy reading it every now and then. The lore is all there.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I've heard about that. So it's pretty decent?
π: 0 β©: 1
Very much so. As i said the Lore is all there, The original armors of ROM's knight squad (if slightly redesigned, but instantly recognizable) themselves, heavy indirect references to ROM (never direct as Marvel doesn't have his rights), The dire wraiths are still there, and still a pain in the ass, and GOD i love their depiction of the wingwraith. My only sorrow is that it's only a 4 issue mini.
I highly recomend it if you're a ROM fan like me.

It's pics like this that forcefully remind me how much further there is for me to go... and how deservedly you have enjoyed success with your artwork.
I'm unfamiliar with htis character - but this image is epic, epic stuff!

LOL!!!! I mean "shucks."

No no... damage is done.

Rom's limbo is a sad thing. If Marvel could outright buy the rights he would make such an excellent addition to their currently amazing set of space opera stories.
