Title: Page 9 original artwork being auctioned Post by: binarysunrise on July 15, 2007, 08:43:25 PM Forgive me if this has been posted elsewhere (or if this is the wrong place), but did anyone see that Heritage is selling page 9 from the K-Metal story? Looks like its up to $1600 right now.

The inking on the S shield is very vague in some panels. (I'm sure Rao is going to move this to the K-Metal thread) Yup - the biggest detraction for me of the time period is that ever changing "S". On the project we established the non-serifed "S" early on - and kept it. The 5 sided chevron was already established by our project, and it just seemed like a small leap to make the "S" non-serifed - then into the checked serif as the chronicles progress, too the basic pattern of the squared serifed "S" that pretty much stayed the same since.

I think the shield was intended to be police-badge shaped instead of 5-sided.
