Description aaah... this was fun.. mostly because it's part of this HUGE collab with 6 other crazy talented artists. basically a homage to the original 7 image comics titles.

the colours done by the amazing .

he really blew me away with this. well, with the entire piece actually. i REALLY encourage you to check out the full collaboration of the entire group shot fully coloured here: [link]
what i really loved about this is that all the styles of the artists matched the characters they drew so well, and jeff's colours just unified the whole pic.

Amazing sketch, but I feel the inking didn't do the sketch justice, it lost alot of the detail. But its still stellar work.

These pencils are simply slick, dynamic, and powerful.

joe, this is the craziest thing i've ever seen. it rocks. why you not have your own book yet? what are these companies thinking not having you draw there stuff. i think you'd be awesome drawing cyberforce, or even x-men. that would be the shit.

Man! This is killer!! The pencil itself already a killer.
The finished piece is even greater. With Image logo in the back, it's cool.
Now I'll go find the rest of the characters.

Heh. God does this bring back memories.

I remember an issue of Wizard that one of my friends had, in 8th grade, with Ripclaw and Warblade on the cover. First time I'd ever seen Ripclaw, although I knew Warblade from the WildCATS cartoon on the USA channel... Haha.

Nice work, Joe. Your work has shown much improvement, which pleases me greatly.

Say, when's GI JoeNg/Transformers come out?

Ye gads! I'll have to make sure I've got some money in me wallet, then!

Hey Joe, I was just on Newsarama, and I thought you'd like to see some of the comments people have been leaving about your artwork.

DK Batman says: "The artwork looks amazing. I really liked the first two crossovers... even though a lot of people don't like JOE vs. TF II, I think the time travel/crazy stuff was fun, and GI Joe doesn't have enough of that crazy sci-fi quality it had when the old tv show was on.

I'll be first in line for this!"


and DC Josh says: "joe ng's artwork looks simply fantastic

it definately has my interest piqued and i think i might pick this up

[despite the fact i dont really care for GI Joe xD ]"



Look at that, Joe! You're converting non-believers!

excellent, my bribes have worked! haha. thanks man. yeah make sure you check it out! to be honest, i'm not entirely satisfied with how i drew some things due to deadlines, but the second issue will hopefully make up for it!

PsychoAndy In reply to NgBoy [2006-03-03 17:28:56 +0000 UTC]

Ah, those pesky deadlines! They'll getcha, every time!

Still, I've enjoyed all the published work of yours that I've seen so far (which is pretty much just War Within III, Red Sonja Goes East, and that issue of ToyFare that you did some of the Japanese Transformers for - which I picked up not knowing those were your drawings), and the previews for GI JoeNg/TFs looks better than all of them.

I'm sure it looks better than you think it does.
