DescriptionA fantastic Rachel by my most favorite modern comic artist. Is she traveling through deep space, is she reacting to something she's experiencing or perceiving on an astral or other higher plane? Who knows, but it looks fantastic, I love the likeness, the hound collar and markings and the gorgeous phoenix effect. Done on 6x8 bristol with pencil, ink, and paint markers.I mentioned some thoughts on Pepe (and Hickman's) genius and my experience picking up this con sketch from him on my other piece posted today, but will paste and post below here as well: The embers of my lifelong (well since the age of 7) love of X-Men had been cooling until Pepe Larraz and Jonathan Hickman came along and revitalized the franchise and kindled those embers back into a roaring flame. As those familiar with his name know, Pepe works mostly digitally except for some covers and some very early work. You can get pages as monoprints, which I have and gladly will again for the right pages and prices, but it's hard to get his traditional work, even sketches. That was one of my main targets at NYCC this year. He only took I believe 4 Pre-Con commissions via his rep prior to the show, and he only took 3 bust sketches for the whole weekend, I was 7th in line Thursday, so that wasn't to be either. He did though take a handful (seemed to be around 6 to 10 per day) of remarques and profile head sketches each day, and I was lucky enough to get one on Thursday and another on Saturday. You had to wait by his table for the rest of the line of signature only fans to be served first and then had to continue to wait with him until it was your turn for your remarque or profile sketch. It was maybe a commitment of an hour and a half to two hours. Very much worth it to me, I do not mention to complain, I just assume it could be helpful data for someone reading this who might get to see him at a future larger con that might have a similar experience/structure.

Just wow! Love that all the non-coloured space only enhances the flame effects, like she's glowing white-hot!

Both this and the Dazzler are incredible - well worth the wait!

This brings the fierce anger out of Rachel with the Phoenix flames! Posed in the opposite direction to Dazzler show their divergent paths and outlook.

Great convention pickups, and Pepe's watercolors all look fantastic. Rachel here looks great with all the flames about her. Congrats!
