Description So Kirkman tells me in the script he wants EVERY one of HIS characters in this spread. Invincible isn't shown here, you'll see why when you read the issue but pretty much all of them are there, a few were left out, but they are on the next page. Lots of fun to do, It was nice drawing Tech Jacket and Brit, I love those characters.

Always do Thumbnail sketches first. No need to worry about running out of room if it's planned out.

Thanks a lot. I was wondering though, when you plan an image like this, do you start with the largest character and work out from there or just randomly draw characters around each other or what? From looking at your work here, there are many characters but the whole drawing has a smooth flow from background to foreground, and I've seen quite a few drawings like this done exceptionally well. I was just wondering what goes through the minds of the pros when they do pics like this.

I'm guessing it's all subjective. I'm just rambling now, and as for a final bit of redundancy...keep up the good work.

Ya I think it's works best if you do the foreground characters first then work on back. Because doing the BG chaarcters first would make it so they might be covered up by the foreground ones.

Hello Mr. Ottley - I just picked up book #4, and I wanted to let you know that the work only gets better as the book progresses. The expressions, settings - everything works out so well. I think I'll end up being a lifelong Invincible fan. Keep it up

I'm really glad he's ben throwing more and more of his other characters in Invincible.
It gives us a chance to see you take a turn on them AND you guys get a much larger and much more diverse cast.
Great spread, man!

That's too damn sweet Ryan, very nice. I see the obvious absense of Science Dog, I was gonna say Super Patriot but he's not actually Robert's character is he?

Anyway, eagerly waiting for this one. Looks like a blast so far.

Brit's a pimp.

No Superpatriot, that's Larsen's character. And Science Dog is just a cartoon.

Is Invincible not on there because something big is going down on Earth, only he can't be there because he's away helping those mantis people? Also, I sooo guessed that his dad was going to be there.

In other news, awesome lines! Can't wait to see it in the issue.
