Description

I initially saw this on Instagram and then promptly tried to find out if/when these would be sold. I really wanted the Punisher image as well but getting two pieces at a Felix drop is Herculean to say the least. I'm still shocked I came away with this one!

Derington clearly loves the source material enough to not only take it on stylistically but also grow it a bit thematically. This subtle colored pencil rendering really vibrates and while definitely "a sketch" it has a nice, clean, finished quality that will look superb on my wall.

The Thing has a heart! The cosmic cube and the power of Derington reveals Benji is a softy underneath his rocky exterior! This Man...This artist!

Love it, man! That blue line work must look that much better in person, and the red provides a nice contrast. A reminder I need to get my own Derrington! Congrats!

The Thing isn't blue. Zero stars. Great piece, love the volume of old blue eyes.

Killer piece! I'd love to see entire story by Derington in this pencil style a la Dave Taylor's Batman by Design.

Gorgeous piece Chris! It's always something to be celebrated when you actually get the piece you're after in a Felix drop. Congrats!

Honestly, it really doesn't matter -what- Derington draws in his positively enchanting "pencil style" - I always love it. But marry that style to a favorite character and you have something really, REALLY special. Such is the case here - beautiful work! - and (like Marcus said) I love Ben's big ol' heart here. CONGRATS on grabbing a rock solid Snorek piece from one of Felix's drops! What a beauty, Chris!

Wow! Wow! Wow! I love Nick Derington's pencil work. He manages to use pencil in a way that not only creates depth and weight to his characters, but also heart. This illustration of the Thing is absolutely stunning. Nick's pencils here make me feel the Thing's surprise and wonderment. I love the contrast between the blue pencil lines and the red--I wish comic books would sometimes be printed with this kind of unique technique. Not everything needs to be painted in full color! Anyway, many congrats on picking up a real beauty!
