Great work, Francesco! Love them both, but especially love the dog piss one :)

Nice Francesco
Now that is a wild looking THING!! What an original take, in both versions. But I love the red "to the rescue" version best. Great stuff Francesco. And congrats on the Garrison books release!!

Looks great Francesco! The bottom sketch has always been a favorite of mine, the way you make Ben look like a moving mountain.
You captured the attitude in his face perfectly in the new piece, absolutely spot on.
You spot the shadows on Thing incredibly well. You've given him a great amount of weight and you nailed his posture perfectly. I bet you do a righteous Darkseid too. Good luck with Garrison.
Dig 'em both. I would totally buy a Ben Grimm comic drawn by you.
Man, I love Francesco's Ben Grimm. It's the rare instance of the Thing with more than a bit of the weird monster to him. I get the feeling Francesco's Fantastic Four might take on the quality of the old Doom Patrol, for strangeness sake!
I LOVE IT!!!
Great stuff. You really capture the monstrous quality of the Thing-- something most artists don't do.
love the b&W one... (though they are both great) ...it's just a very different, yet awesome, take on the thing...
Mean, moody - magnificent!
Very cool. It's very reminiscent of the early Thing which I always liked.
This isn't the Thing I'm used to seeing but I like, a lot. I especially like the red, which seems very throwback to me. There doesn't seem to be as much of that in comics as there once was. The falling debris also adds a nice touch and provides motion in a different direction from that which Mr. Grimm is moving.
Nice! Reminds me of Byrne's Marvel Two-in-One #50. Good stuff!

Fantastic texture! Great work, as always!
Thank you so much, everyone, I am so glad you dig my take on this guy :)
I got a few more "Things": maybe I should do a THING week at my blog :)
And I may take you on that idea, Chad: the full take on the FF :D
Cheers,
Francesco
