Thanks for the support. If the Comrade Hero Pilot (It still feels weird saying that) gets the nod from New Zealand on Air, then it will initially be produced for Maori Television's Te Reo channel.

It would be a bilingual (Maori and English) production for television broadcast and online. The waiting time for decisions from New Zealand on Air is about 8-12 weeks so I won't know anything until around June - July.

In the meantime I keep on rolling ever slowly onwards.

And the final panel penciled by Ian Richardson. To be inked in due course.

Simon Gough will be doing the coloring duties, providing a continuous sky background that runs across all three panels.

This is how the Comrade Hero and Graviton Girl Triptych looks when viewed as one.

Yeah I'm kinda known for doing that.

Love the way that tri-panel is looking, can't wait to see what approach the colorist will take.
...wonder if I could draw something in that style.

P.S. now the infinity symbol is a bit crooked. It appears to be facing the viewer almost straight on even though GG is in ¾'s view
and it's flat across the bottom rather than elliptical... but it does look like part of the fabric.

Also, granted this is getting right down into the little details, now that I let my eyes wander over it for another minute or so
I notice Comrade Hero's gloves don't match. In the center panel his right glove has the pleat on the pinky side and his left has it
on top along with the knuckles. In the right side panel his right glove doesn't show it at all (which is perfectly plausible from that angle)
but the left one has the notch thumb side. I would suggest the pinky side makes more sense so center panel: right glove is fine but on the
left glove the notch should be rotated back and be barely visible or gone altogether & right panel: right glove is fine but left glove notch should
move to pinky side. Unless you prefer the notch/pleat to be thumbside in which case reverse the above.

GG's gloves are fine with the notch on the bottom and correctly match in all three panels.

Awww... shucks. Although I won't start patting myself on the back until I see something in writing. So until then I just keep plodding along and preparing contestable arts funding applications.

I had no idea that a piece of art composed across three (or more) sections is known as a Triptych - I had to look that up after I saw Ian referring to the term.

Although it's not entirely clear from the pencils, Comrade Hero is standing atop a mountain of urban rubble (king of the hill), whilst Graviton Girl stands on a mountain summit (king - queen - of the world).

And have passed your feedback onto Ian.

CH! I am such a fan of your collection! I love the pieces from Ian!! They are FANtastik! I am curious, tho, what do you do with all of your artz? Do you just keep them posted online? Hang 'em on all of the walls in your home? Where do you keep all of these great pieces?

And gratz on being chosen for the "pilot"! I predict that New Zealand on Air will say YES!!

Up until 2010 a lot of the pieces of commissioned art were mainly for personal viewing. Only a few were printed out. When I started completing my Diploma in Creative Writing a lot of the commissioned artwork started being tied into my Comrade Hero project work and ended up being used in promotional and presentational works. Most of the original artwork I haven't opened from the packages that they came in and have stored them away. I tend to get digital copies sent in TIFF or PSD format where possible.

And thanks for the vote of encouragement VexXxa, fingers crossed.

Comrade Hero and Friends by Ryan Stegman. To be colored in due course by Sean Ellery.

Been waiting a very long time for this, but Ryan is rather busy these days fulfilling his contractual obligations to Marvel Comics.

I asked Ryan for a Comrade Hero piece in a similar vein to Jim Cheung's cover for Iron Man: Director of S.H.I.E.L.D Annual #1.

Thanks. I've slowed down a lot on commissioning thanks to project related work over the past twelve months.
