Aw, I was expecting a Kirby Crimson Jimson.
Still cool stuff, though. 
This is what happens when the youth of America doesn't read the Classics! :P

Amazing how he got Joe Sinott to ink it too...

I like the piece, but I'm not really seeing Kirby/Sinott. The main thing I think of when I think "Kirby" is his amazing panel compositions based on interlocking geometric shapes. I'm not seeing that kind of compositional attention here. And as for Sinott, that was the days when it was brush only, and Sinott had mad brush skills. His lines were always bold and clean. Your drawing has a lot of scratchy pen-looking lines in it, stuff that never would've made it into a 60s comic book. (Printing wasn't as advanced and those lines would've broken up.)
::shrug:: Like I said, it's a good drawing. I think I'd like to see another try at Kirby/Sinott though!

Lay off.
Batman was created by Bob Kane just so you know... I did think you were funny though, I came this close to doing a Kirby of Crimson Jimson after your post... lol.

Don't Forget Bill Finger (tho he doesn't generally get credit - he did do the writing).

okay - but just so you know, Jack "The King" Kirby was the first guy to draw The Hulk, The Fantastic Four (and thus characters like the Silver Surfer, Galactus, Doctor Doom, Black Bolt and the Inhumans), The X-Men, and Thor at Marvel. Over at DC comics, he created such characters as the Demon, Mister Miracle (and actually, the whole "New Gods" mythos - Darksied, Orion, Big Barda, Granny Goodness, The Forever People), OMAC (long before DC decided to radically alter the whole OMAC concept with the Infinite Crisis). Heck - it was Jack Kirby working with writer Joe Simon who created the first Captain America.
Not meaning to bash or anything! Its just, to us long-time comic-book fans, its like someone saying, "So, who're the Beatles anyway?"
Thank you, Zobragas.
See, if someone asked me "Who's Daft Punk, anyway?" I don't get pissed--I show them.
Wait, who are the Beatles?
They're a type of car.
Okay I had to do it...

I WIN!
I like the piece. the use of red helps define it for me. I also like the "power" radiating from the character.
like pmd, dont see the connection, but who cares. still a good piece in the end.~
[edit]
the above post was in reference to the original piece posted. not sure what to think of the last one there....lol~
