The Hero Business

I hope to get a few pieces done to put up for sale at Boston Comic-Con. Here’s one I just finished: the “classic” New Mutants.

One of the things I love about these characters is how well they are designed (especially the original five). Their facial features, ethnic backgrounds, hair and heights are varied and unique… so they have a “look” to them. It’s so indelible, that when artists draw Roberto too tall or Sam’s ears too small… it just seems “wrong.” Bob McCloud REALLY put some great thought into designing them.
