If I can be critical here I have to say the claws do not look right, I like the way Campbell illustrated the claws, but Overall I think your work here looks more finished and we can see the sentinel face and large hand. So the positioning seems clearer.
You've got my vote Jim, keep up the great work and I hope the All Star project goes well for you.
I could try to blather on some, but this piece is just more my tastes. And holy crap, I can't believe this was done in one hour. Molto benni, Jim; bravi!
no doubt about it, jim took this challenge to heart. great layouts with the sentinel peaking in the foreground. no doubt a great piece for the auction.
congratulations to both and thatnks for putting in an hour that will go along way for CBLDF.
thanks to JSC for taking the time to join the contest. you're the one that finally got jim to put pencil & inks to paper so i am eternally grateful!
Yeah so I'd say if anything Jim, is known for his blistering speed at drawing these amazing pin-ups. with that I have to say "WOW" I've seen Jim draw tons of sketches for people at Cons that are beautiful and this is just AMAZING! I am really floored by how much he did in this pic in a full hour he can really pack a wall'op in ten min' but look what he can do in an hour!!!!!!!!!!! Hail to tha' king BABY!
P.S. I love JCS pic too but had to vote for this beautiful pic!
I'm in awe w/ both pieces, but I'll have to give it up to the mentor, Jim effin' Lee.
Both Wolverine's kick surrious culo, so ultimately it came down to the better Wonder Woman and which looked more intuitive in that a Sentinel's gettin' torn apart.
My mind is numb right now. I can't believe Jim Lee just battled J. Scott Campbell. :O The best o' the best!!
This was by far the toughest Iron Chef competition yet. Awesome AWESOME job by both artists.
That said..
I gotta give my vote to Jim Lee. Jim's the master when it comes to drawing Wolvie. And while I love the dynamic layout of Campbell's pic, Jim Lee gets props for showing us the Sentinel.
great stuff, but i gotta go with jim lee's. love the sentinel in the corner getting rocked, campbell's is great, but there's no sentinel there, and jim's looks a little more finished.
so great, i love it when you guys do this stuff, definitely my favorite challenge since the first between ale and francis
My vote goes to Jim, for two reasons, Wonder Woman and the Sentinel.
Both of you did brilliant Wolvie's, I prefered Jim's meatier WW and if I didn't know the theme I wouldn't know Jeff's pair were going after a Sentinel.
Still, damn hard choice, damn good drawings and I hope you guys get a good showing for the auction.
Wow Jim.You never cease to amaze, man. Hope to be half your talent someday. Can't wait for All-Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder. You got my vote on this one man. Great, great, work.
Althought I am a great fan of J. Scott 's work , I go with Jim on this piece ! I think I'm gonna bid at the auction , at least it will help the CBLDF !
Jim gets my vote... but I gotta say Jeff's wolverine rocks. For me, Jim's ink job scored some points, actually showing the sentinel is a plus, and Jeff's wonder woman looks a little weak when compared to Jim's. Excellent work by both artists.
I'm at awe with what Jim Lee can do in an hour. I love both pieces though, but I feel Jim's piece is stronger. I think had the contest had an extended time frame and featured finalized art renditions (although Jim pretty much finished his) maybe the tally might be close. Again, I think Campbell did a marvelous job, in the big picture it's not about speed, or who's better, or whatever. Just excellent pieces by great talent doing a wonderful thing for charity. I look forward to more contests such as these. Well done.
While I had been a JSC fan for year and years, I've gotta hand it to Jimbo simply because... well... there's a Sentinel in this one. Jim not only did the job, but he made it more pulchritudinous that our wildest expectations could have taken it. Bravo, mister Lee. Bravo.
Umm, I accidentally voted on the flickr site. But here's what I wrote there:
"Jeff's is great, but I love Jim's because I can feel the action better, I can see the sentinel getting gutted whereas Jeff's feels more like the sentinel is about to be gutted."
I vote for Mr. Jim. So dynamic. An Inspiration as usual. Jeff, awesome work as well; it was a tough choice.
ReplyDeleteThis one edges out the other, in my mind, because of the clearer image of the Sentinel. Wonder Woman was not prominent enough in either, tho'...
ReplyDeletegot go with this one, it was a hard choice but the wonder woman made the difference for me
ReplyDeleteSweet! Tough choice but I gotta go with Jim's only because you can see the Sentinel. Man, do I love the energy of the ink work here.
ReplyDeleteYeah gotta vote for Jim's on this one. More dynamic and you can actually tell they are tearing through a sentinel.
ReplyDeleteJim gets my vote. But Campbell ALMOST goy my vote with the look on his wolvie's face.
ReplyDeleteAwesome guys!
jim, you are the master at wolverine, i would love to see you back on the x-men, or maybe the ultimates, any chance?
ReplyDeletethis one because you can see the Sentinel
ReplyDeletethis is a genius idea of a competition does this happen anywhere else it's awesome
I 2 lavori sono pieni d' azione però preferisco questo.
ReplyDeleteLa faccia incazzata di Wonder Woman è perfetta.. e poi mi mancava un Wolverine stile Jim Lee!
Grande!

While I loved Campbell's idea of having Wolvie and Wonder Woman busting out of the Sentinel, for the overall artwork I have to go with Jimm Lee.
ReplyDeleteWow Jim.You never cease to amaze, man. Hope to be half your talent someday. Can't wait for All-Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder. You got my vote on this one man. Great, great, work.
ReplyDeleteGotta go with Jim on this one.
ReplyDeleteDefenitly Jim. I always adore Campbell's works but this one, Wolvie look more slashin and rules the drawing with w.w. Way to go, Jim.
ReplyDeleteI vote the Jim.
ReplyDeleteAlthought I am a great fan of J. Scott 's work , I go with Jim on this piece !
ReplyDeleteI think I'm gonna bid at the auction , at least it will help the CBLDF !
Jim gets my vote!His works seems to me more "complete".
ReplyDeleteI gotta echo other comments by saying the Sentinel is much clearer in your piece Jim. Nice work by you and Jeff.
ReplyDeleteGotta hand it to J.Scott for being such a good sport about this,
ReplyDeletebut my vote goes to Jim without question.
I'd like to see a Lee/Portacio showdown.
Jim Lee, hands down. Wow...that is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI would go with Jim, very dynamic.
ReplyDeleteWith the sentinel there is a feeling ofmore tension
i vote for jim lee. but i agree both wolvies looked badass. jim's was a slightly better wolverine and i think he captured the topic best.
ReplyDeleteNo contest. I'm with Mr. Lee.
ReplyDeleteJim gets my vote... but I gotta say Jeff's wolverine rocks. For me, Jim's ink job scored some points, actually showing the sentinel is a plus, and Jeff's wonder woman looks a little weak when compared to Jim's. Excellent work by both artists.

ReplyDeletegoing for jim!
ReplyDeleteIt's a pity there isn't the sentinel in Jeff'one..
But Jim, you have to admict that that wolverine pose is really abused (maybe because it works soo good?)
Cia!
My vote goes to Jim. I a big fan of Jeff’s work also, but the composition and dynamics of Jim’s piece with the Sentinel are just awesome.
ReplyDeleteThe real winner here is the CBLDF. I commend both artists for taking their time to create these stunning works for charity.
Great job, guys.
-Greg Tumbarello
My vote goes to Jim's piece.
ReplyDeleteBoth Wolverines are great, both Wonder Women are a little weak, so it's the Sentinel that's the tie-breaker, and Jim's wins it.
I like the sparkley eye and machine mouth, and the big ol' hand. Dare I say the sentinel steals it from even Wolvie and WW?
ReplyDeletea bit late but I vote for Jim's piece...
