Pencil version of this was found in The Jack Kirby Collector mag. I inked it with Higgins black india ink, Winsor-Newton brush and Hunt pen nibs onto vellum paper via lightbox. No penciling was involved.
An amazing Jack Kirby picture! did you ink this picture, if so it's a fantastic rendering.
Artist Reply: Hi Roy
Yes, I did ink Odin. I saw the striking Jack Kirby pencil version in a Jack Kirby Collector mag and felt that I would try my hand at inking the 'King' of comics. I've tried to remain faithful to his pencils. It was several about four years ago that I posted this, surprised I'm still getting feedback! I'm tickled pink!
Best regards
Wow!!! love the details and his face. the armour seems pretty "norse"/wikingy *g*, but with a hint of...um, Aztec ;). But really a cool Odin, great work...so that was before he lost his eye?
