Be Nel Yomtov! Options

[Monzo]

A Transformers comic page by Jose Delbo from Transformers #39 is up on Heritage Auctions right now. A friend of mine poked around Heritage's code earlier, so we have a link for the giant scan they put up.

What does this mean? It means that you colorists out there now have a chance to tackle an original Marvel Transformers comics page! Full of Targetmasters and Fortress Maximus! You can BE Nel Yomtov!

Have fun!

Hah, that's neat.

Now if we can get the lines for the cover for 35. There's so much awesome potential there ruined by Yomtov block coloring.

Covers were often not coloured by the interior colourist. Do we know for certain that Yomtov coloured that cover? It doesnt' really look like his style. He didn't block colour for contrast as is done on that cover so much as to push things into the background.

As for this page... I love Delbo's transformations. Though they end up looking backwards here. The Targetmaster guns' static poses would make more sense if they were changing out of gun mode, instead of changing into gun mode. Still... it's impressive the sheer level of real, meaningful detail in Delbo's compositions. So much of it is lost in Yomtov's colours.

(I stand by really liking #35's cover just as it is, by the way.)
