R.I.P. Kevin O'Neill

Today I knew the saddest news by Kieron Gillen's tweet, my all-time favorite and respectful artist, Kevin O'Neill passed away. 

https://2000ad.com/news/kevin-oneill-1953-2022/

Now I'm very shocked and sad too much, I cannot settle down to work...

I've been really, deeply inspired his works. I was get into UK comics from Marvel UK's Transformers: Target 2006, after that I had interesting to other UK comics, especially 2000 AD. I was into Judge Dredd, ABC Warriors, Rogue Trooper everything, but Nemesis The Warlock by Pat Mills and Kevin O'Neill was blowing me away. Really loved his powerful, aggressive, detailed and sometime weird art caught my heart. Every time I visit to UK, I digged his books.

Very fortunately, I had a chance to see him at the event at Gosh! Comics in London before 2000 AD's 40th anniversary event on February 2017. There are the signing session of Pat Mills and Kevin O'Neill. I don't know I could tell how I was inspired his works because I'm not good at speaking English, but this memory is one of my treasure.

I also have tattoo of Blitzspear of Nemesis The Warlock. The most favorite tattoo I've got so far.

I have a small dream as comic artist. I wanna draw super crazy, cool, and violent comic like Marshal Law someday. I hope I have get a chance by I die. So many times I’ve been re-reading Marshal Law, of course the story by Pat Mills is superb, but it didn't be completely perfect without Kevin O'Neill's art.

Thanks for awesome works, Kevin O'Neill. If I didn't run across his arts, my art style never be like current style. Rest In Peace.

Saddened to hear that the GREAT Kevin O'Neill has passed.

An extraordinary and unique talent. His artwork jumped off the page and grabbed the reader by the throat. A remarkable artist: one of the greats.

Uploaded Queen Busters to Internet Archive, it's a fangme from 2003 based off Super Smash Bros with Tsukihime and Ragnarok Online characters.

It's pretty rough, but it's a cool thing overall. And it seems like the balance is crazy and the AI tracks your position and just tries to hit you at all times. You unlock characters by beating them in Single-player, weirdly the Tsukihime characters have to fight the others but RO girls just fight one other with multiple stocks.

Story. And Don't Look Back

Previous | Next

[ID: 9 digitally sketch panels in greyscale and some green.]

[Panel 1: Shot from within the van. Hare leans out, calling to The Jack, who looks back, expression scared. The RO-bot has taken the contraband duffel bag from The Jack. Behind them, Becile Manor continues to burn. The Skull can be seen kneeling in the bottom left corner. Hare yells, (all caps" "Jack!! Jump in!!"]

[Panel 2: The Jack SFX: "jump!"s into the van and Hare swings the door closed behind him. From the still open side of the back of the van, The Skull shoots his revolver at the RO-bot (not pictured) with SFX: (all caps) "Bang!". Scratch has collapsed against The Skull, who is holding him with one arm around his shoulder, hand on his chest. In the front of the van, Riker looks back in confusion and shock.]

[Panel 3: Close up of The Skull in profile, still holding his revolver, who turns his head to shout at Riker, (all caps) "Drive!!"]

[Panel 4: The van takes off with SFX: (all caps) "screeee" while Hare pulls the other back door closed with SFX: "Swing." Pebbles and dirt catch the light as the wheels kick them up, and the tail lights trail behind the van. The tree line is seen in the distance with the sun rising behind them.]

[Panel 5: Agent Ester looks at the RO-bot, which has turned back to her and is holding the duffel bag high for her to see. The van is retreating into the distance.]

[Panel 6: Ester put her left index finger up to her left ear, which emits a green light. Her expression is impassive as she says, "The contraband has been recovered, we have the documents of Thadeus Becile, and the renegade has been neutralized. Buster will be pleased."]

[Panel 7: Ester looks across the yard toward the headless, still body of Locksmith. She says, "(ellipses) And one of you, retrive that body."]

[Panel 8: The top of the treeline with the run rising behind them, catching the edges of the branches. Ester says in overlay, "It'll be of interest to R&D."]

[Panel 9: In the bottom right corner, the van drives away in silhouette, puffs of cloud in its wake. End ID.]

Negotiations

*The theatre adults hanging out*

Marcus: Ro, if you had to choose between Buster and Gunter or all the money I have in my wallet, which would you choose?

Rosita: That depends, how much money are we taking about?

Buster: Rosita!

Marcus, checking: 63 cents?

Rosita, completely straight faced: I'll take the money.

Gunter: ROSITA!!!
