I'm pretty sure that's not much of a problem for most of them.

~ Le Messor

Well, that may be true, but apparently more than a number of the artists who did get a chance to draw Sasquatch, were the ones who DID have a problem drawing him well. I've seen many TERRIBLE renditions, some 'okay' ones, and too few great ones.

[Le Messor]

Lets face it, to do a real good Sasquatch takes a more effort and time than the normal figure.

Now you know what I'm getting at.

Actually, I don't. Didn't we just say the opposite thing?

[Le Messor]

Nope.
I was trying to imply that very few artists make the effort to do a real good Sasquatch.

Ah...your emphasis was on "effort", whilst I thought it was on...uh, well, I thought you meant, that for most artists, drawing a good Sasquatch wasn't a problem.

It was clearly a misunderepic of standing proportions.

[Le Messor]

I knew what you thinked I meant.

What we've got here is failure to communicate!

[Legerd]

That is cool!
I sometimes wonder about Alex Ross, y'see, who I'm pretty sure has never painted an Alphan.)

Actually Ross painted Aurora and Northstar in the depressing sequel(?) to Marvels called Ruins, and Guardian and Sasquatch in the Universe X series.

Ross didn't do Ruins, and only did the covers for Earth/Universe/Paradise X so we've only seen his Sas.

... and I don't remember Sas being on any of those covers... but; while I have Earth and Universe, I only have 1 of the 2 Paradise trades... and I only got that last week, and haven't read further than Heralds 1-3 and part of PX #0 yet. There could be tons of Sas covers in there, and I wouldn't know it.

(I do have Ruins.)

Ross didn't do Ruins

Thanks Phil; as soon as I clicked on that first link from Legerd, first thing i noticed was that Ross didn't do any art on it.

You beat me to it!

Universe X #6

[Le Messor]

Right! My trade ends at #5.

Ross ... we've only seen his Sas.

Isn't that Sas AND Guardian?

Well... mangled cyborg Guardian so to an extent... yeah...

[Flightpath07]

That's a poor trade, no matter what you gave up to get it.

[Flightpath07]

Well... mangled cyborg Guardian so to an extent... yeah...

Sounds like Delphine Courtney after her meeting with Madison.
