Hello Mark, Thought I would stop by to see what new Ideas you were up to. Looks like space is filling a big window right now ***O).*** The planet looks great, and do you draw the black Background? also are you leave the white the paper or are using something for the white areas? You have such unique, fun style. May the space be with you. lol Shirley

    Wow, that's a lot of background fill!

How appropriate a post for this week in history. Plus, it is tantalizing as I ponder about the next video. As always, rendered with care and a story to tell.

Guess this is why you are # 3. Love the topic and the design. And the colors go great with the black background - I guess space is black! You gonna get to Mars before them?? ;-). Thank for sharing. Chuck

Comment from Susan F. M. T.


Mark,
A beautiful picture of the Spacecraft approaching the Red Planet with the Pilot sending his commentary back to the Kennedy Space Station in Florida. Created from your vivid & active imagination, very skilful draftsmanship, beautiful choice blending & application of your colours in bringing this scene to life.

Comment from David Ruhl


Can't give you 6 stars on everything, even though they deserve it. Excellent work on all parts of this, Mars, the shuttle, and the astronaut. Keep it up!

Have really got to see this music video! You are a master visual story teller! I think your work is really clever, with your imagination being simply over the top! ( in a good way)!

    I do work with some writers for some stories. however I love working with songwriters and musicians. They are fun to work with. This one you reviewed is a new one for Bryan Taylor. I have worked with him on a few before. So now he is releasing a new CD later this year. This one and "Backyard warriors" will be his promo video for the CD. I'm also will be doing a music video for our FAN sites. All of you members wish to be in it just send me only one image that you feel represents you. It can be anything art, photo, whatever. My email is 1mkflood@gmail.com. the music is gonna be Queen's " we will rock you" which will be streamed on YouTube. The deadline on that is Halloween. You do deserve to be in it with your outstanding talent. See really your no the true artist here. I'm just a cartoonist/illustrator who does not work with any art material..mine is an office medium (sharpie and Bic pens) . Working with those pens for a half century now. But you see that medium no matter how well the drawing is it will always viewed as a cartoon or anime. I'm cool with that..you have demonstrated true mastery and creativity with medium makes YOU the artist.. wink..thanks for the awesome review
Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Cute creation with cheerful facial expression.
Nice planetary rendition.
Crisp & clear outlines...

Minimal color.
Great lighting.
Balanced framing.

Is Mars orange, not red?!?

Diminishing perspective gives a better depth....

Thanks for sharing...

Cool one here Troop. I like the colors and how the drawing is balanced with Mars, the shuttle and the wonder of the astronaut.

Another one down for the video.

Keep going man ~ Steve
