That's cool, and eases my mind.

Like I said, originally I didn't post this to stir up anything. I was surprised as you were with the progression he made.

It was only after I posted the images here and started reading it that I was a bit miffed.

Like others have said, everyone does this stuff when they're young.. I just hope he grows out of it. Especially if he charges people for it.

I did mention that he said it was inspired, for what it's worth.

I was surprised to see his inking samples as well.

Well, originally he wasn't a fan, he bashed Mack his first time on the board..

Anyways, everyone has done that.. what I question is if he's making money doing so.

It's bad enough that others are giving him credit for some of the layouts and he's not owning up to borrowing them.

It's the early Liefeld syndrome all over again.




I voted in the "Other" category.

I have to say that he shows a lot of progression.
And this work is probably more sophisticated than any other 14 year old that I've seen, or can think of at the moment.

So I give him big props for that.

I can see your point about the conscious influence of the Echo story, etc. And I appreciate you mentioning it.
But I'm not bothered by that.
I'm sure we all go through a period of borrowing or learning from others in the extremely early stages of our developement.

And 14 is a great age to go through that, and do it as a learning excercise, and work it out of your system, in order to go beyond it.
There are lots of people who go through that a lot later in life and even try it as professionals.
So looking at it as a developmental stage, going through it at 14 is perfectly reasonable as a learning period from my POV.
And perhaps way ahead of the time frame that others go through it and get over it.

I'm glad he was able to get something from my work that got him excited about making his art.
He did make a mention that he was inspired by my books before he did it, so that is acknowledgment enough for me at this stage of the game.

I do remember the bashing thread you mentioned, but I'm not offended by that, and certainly won't hold it against him, and I wish him the best.
My work may not have been his thing at that time, but it sounds like he digs it now.

He's probably done a lot of growing since then.
Sometimes we all can say some things that we wish we didn't.

I know I said and did all kinds of crazy nonsense when I was 14, and I'd hate to continue to be judged on it.

And I think that was sort of all based on a misunderstanding, of the inside jokes and sayings we had on this board that he may have misunderstood as a dis at him.

So no harm done from my view.
I'd prefer to look at it all as a positive learning experience that he can use to grow from.
I give him props for being so dedicated to his work at such a young age.

I'm sure that continued dedication over years will show even more progression.

wow, the kid did get better. Maybe he'll grow up and come up with his own stuff. He is only 14.

Yup. Like I said, I was impressed when I saw his new stuff. I just hope he gets out of the homage thing he's doing and moves to that next level.

He's like a mini-Noble Smile

When I was a kid, I would re-draw (word for word) Garfield strips using my characters. God, I was so lame.
