Title: Ramon Villalobos (attn Benton Grey!)
Post by: DrMike2000 on May 01, 2014, 02:02:25 AM
Has anyone else come across this guy's work? It looks like he's done an Age of Ultron spin-off but Google isn't turning up much else.  I'd love to get hold of some of his sequential work.
He's a little bit goofy and playful like the late great Seth Fisher, and his characters have the lovely baggy shorts and knock-kneed awkwardness of Frank Quitely's (but don't seem to care as much, they're generally having a good old time!).

Here's an image that I think Benton might especially enjoy, as its pictorial proof of who the real sea king is! But do browse the rest of the gallery. It's wicked!

Neat!  Nope, I'd never heard of this fellow, but he does produce some really cool work.  You're right, that one of Aquaman completely owning Namor is pretty cool.   :D

A bit of further reading, and I think he's new to comics, in his early or mid 20s. He's been big on the deviantArt commisions scene, but has just made it into mainstream comics.

What was really quite cool was browsing further back into his gallery on deviantArt. He's really come along way in the past couple of years in terms of consistency with his figures and eliminating anatomical errors. Its quite inspiring to see another artist do that.

I'm really looking forwards to seeing where he goes from here.
