Stuff Said 049: Ryan Ottley

SHOW NOTES: Ryan Ottley’s website, Tumblr, Deviant Art and Twitter pages Ryan and I met over dinner at Lupie’s, in Charlotte, NC Ryan’s creatures & monsters sketchbook (which mentions briefly at the start of our talk) Apocalyptica A pretty thorough site about M.U.S.C.L.E. figures, and a commercial from the 1980s: Masters of Anatomy From Ryan’s Deviant Art gallery, some of his TED NOODLEMAN work…: …and some of his OZ F5 GALE FORCE work: Bart Sears’s BRUTES & BABES drawing tutorials, originally seen in WIZARD magazine Augie DeBleick over at his Pipeline column at comicbookresources.com, posted this, Ryan’s Lestat drawing that appeared in HERO ILLUSTRATED. Thank you, Augie!: And here’s that HARDCASE #1 w/foil cover (with the non-foil version, for comparison): Thanks to Jay Faerber for this, Ryan’s 3-page NOBLE CAUSES sample: INVINCIBLE #108, the issue Ryan didn’t spoil for me…and I’m glad he didn’t; it was pretty awesome: Another commercial; this one for Crossfire: And here’s the (horrifying/sad) video of Ryan & Derek Hunter burning their old art: Ryan’s blog post about HAUNT and working over Greg Capullo’s layouts. Also from Ryan’s Deviant Art page, this, which speaks for itself and is outstanding (click to enlarge): SEA BEAR & GRIZZLY SHARK, one of the great comics of the 2010s CORRECTION: “Snow Man Slaughter” appears in GIANT-SIZED KUNG FU BIBLE STORIES, not Giant-Size Bible Stories, as I said in my closing comments. My apologies to Kung Fu. Support “Stuff Said” (right over there on the top right side of the webpage) PixComic.com (Read the first chapter of PIX: ONE WEIRDEST WEEKEND for FREE!)
