Description Little commission of the First Family of Marvel.
I hope you\'ll like this new attempt at getting the real essence of these cool characters!
For those who don\'t who or what are the memebers of the Fantastic Four, here is a little resume:

* Mister Fantastic (Reed Richards), a scientific genius, can stretch, twist and re-shape his body to inhuman proportions. Mr. Fantastic serves as the father figure of the group, and is \"appropriately pragmatic, authoritative, and dull\". Richards blames himself for the failed space mission, particularly because of how the event transformed pilot Ben Grimm.
* Invisible Girl/Invisible Woman (Susan Storm), Reed Richards\' girlfriend (and eventual wife) has the ability to bend and manipulate light to render herself and others invisible. She later develops the ability to generate force fields, which she uses for a variety of defensive and offensive effects.
* The Human Torch (Johnny Storm), Sue Storm\'s younger brother, possesses the ability to control fire, allowing him to project fire from his body, as well as the power to fly. This character was loosely based on a Human Torch character published by Marvel\'s predecessor Timely Comics in the 1940s, an android that could ignite itself. Lee said that when he conceptualized the character, \"I thought it was a shame that we didn\'t have The Human Torch anymore, and this was a good chance to bring him back\".Unlike the teen sidekicks that preceded him, the Human Torch in the early stories was \"a typical adolescent – brash, rebellious, and affectionately obnoxious\".
* The Thing (Ben Grimm), Reed Richards\' college roommate and best friend, has been transformed into a monstrous, craggy humanoid with orange, rock-like skin and super-strength. The Thing is often filled with anger, self-loathing and self-pity over his new existence. He serves as \"an uncle figure, a longterm friend of the family with a gruff Brooklyn manner, short temper, and caustic sense of humor\". In the original synopsis Lee gave to Kirby, The Thing was intended as \"the heavy\", but over the years the character has become \"the most lovable group member: honest, direct and free of pretension\".

Take care y'all!

Nice job with this one! I especially like the composition which features the ever-lovin' Idol of Millions. I also like the costume changes that you implemented. (Is there a color version of this pic? ) With work this tight, I will definitely be checking out the rest of your gallery!

salut mec ! beau travail comme d'hab !... mais comme tu m'a demandé une critique j'vais tâcher d'etre constructif ...
bonne compo , poses dynamiques et toujours en mouvement comme devraient etre chaque illu de sup' heros et ça ,tu t'en sors tjrs très bien . l'encrage est impec as always et j'aime particulièrement le travail sur le poing gauche de Reed... Il y a cependant qq petites choses qui me gènent mais , bon ,après c'est une histoire de goût et de détail ... les expressions de visages par exemple... Sue me fait penser à Moondragon , je serai aussi d'accord avec l'autre gars concernant Ben , j'le préfere plus "Blocky " que musclé ...et pour moi ce type n'a pas besoin de gants ni de futale le slip de Kirby etait parfait ! (looooooool...)et sa tête me fait penser à la version filmique de Roger Corman , J'lai tjrs préferé avec des plaques plus larges ,un peu à la Byrne ...
Et pour finir les flammes de Johnny manquent un peu de fluidité... mais bon !...comme je te dis plus haut , cest qu'une affaire de goût ... Encore bravo !

Hey, Jee!!
Merci d'avoir pris le temps pour la critique de cette illustration et pouur les compliments.
Je suis tout à fait d'accord avec toi au niveau des expressions, surtout celle de Sue qui n'est vraiment pas apprpriée!
Concernant the Thing, je ne le maitrise pas encore, mais prefere un mix entre une anatomie "blocky" et une plus humaine.
Pareil pour le choix du costume, j'ai voulu quelque chsoe respectant l'esprit FF tout en lui donnant une touche personelle. Tu verras qu'au cours des longues années de parution, Ben Grimm a porté, slip, caleçons longs et courts, avec ou sans shoes et pareil pour les wristbands. Juste un choix personnel!
Son visage me paraît correct et pas du tout en phase avec Roger Corman! lol
Pour finir, c'est clair qu'il faudra mieux faire pour donner toute sa puissance et fluidité à la flamme de Johnny Storm!
Un grand merci à toi et je prends note de tes remarque constructives.
See ya around, friend!

Not sure if this was mentioned but you could vary your line weights in reference to Johnny being treated as a light source.

thaBEAST [2010-02-20 00:56:30 +0000 UTC]

THE THING and SUE STORM are the stand outs of the piece, really nice composition too.

HUMAN TORCH looks a bit out of proportion, you've drawn him with a big thick neck and very thick torso (enormous lats and abs/obliques). TORCH's (our) left arm is very heavily muscled in comparison to the right, but the flame effect looks cool.

REED RICHARDS is all good, THE THING is by far the absolute highlight of the composition - the detail and posture is great, along with his "tough as nails" facial expression.

Tres bon!
