Description

Pre-con commission sketch for ECCC 2014 on X-men #1 blank. CGC SS 9.8.

I've admired Jay's artwork for a while, so naturally I was very excited when Doug and Kirk presented me with a rare opportunity to get a sketch cover done by Jay in his studio to be picked up at ECCC where he was scheduled to appear.

I let Jay choose between X-23 and Domino for the subject of the drawing and he chose the former. Needless to say, I'm very happy with the result. Many thanks to Doug, Kirk and of course Jay!

P.S. The lighting in the photo doesn't do the drawing any justice, but it'll have to do until the book comes back from CGC.

Edit: This cover was voted 2014 Sketch Cover of the Year on the CGC boards. :)
