Description

My new art days are decreasing in frequency but I don't care when they are like this one. I discovered Marada a bit late in my collecting career so making up for that with this acquisition. Of course, always great to purchase direct from the artist - thanks Liliana for your patience and grace.

So, the first appearance of Marada (at least in the interior story) and it is amazing. Panel 1 - breathtaking Marada with killer textiles, then 2 flashback action shots to balance the quiet of that first panel and then back to the present.

This is an example in our hobby of "The heart wants what it wants!"

(although my scanner didn't capture this so well)

Congrats, Mark. Pages like this are exactly the type of pieces that make you really appreciate the art all the more, when they come in far more infrequently than they once did!

If a preliminary mates with published art, do you get new, smaller art, which grows in size as it ages?
