Description

1:100 variant cover to Conan: Serpent War #1, 2020, art by David Finch. 17"x22" made of 2 sheets of 11"x17" comic art bristol, image area approx. 12.5"x19.5" off-centre on boards.

Although this is a cover not a dps, DF has used 2 boards together to allow enough room to fit in the incredible detail. Due to the printed cover proportions, it doesn't quite fill the whole area, so I've cropped it here for convenient viewing.

I can't say that I've ever thought of putting Conan and Moon Knight together, but after seeing this, I'm completely sold on it. There are some pieces of original art that it'd be OK to have, some that you'd really like to have, and some that you can't imagine being without; this is one of the latter. We're big fans of filling the page, and this one really goes all out. DF's rendition of Moon Knight is great stuff as usual, and his version of Conan is by far the best we've seen since Marvel re-acquired the license.

What took me by surprise was that according to DF, the vast majority of the drawing and shading in his current art is done during the finishing stage, using a variety of different pens and brushes. It's therefore a bit inaccurate to say that he has 'inked his own work', when most of the drawing is in fact directly in ink, not pencil.

WOW! Finch really showing out his skill - on full display with this piece! Love the pure illustration (always liked Finch's blend of cartoony with realistic proportions) and the ink detail is on another level! Sincere congrats!
