Description

Original comic art measures 11"x17". Ink and ink wash on blueline board. Layouts on reverse in pencil. Signed by Nicola Scott (artist) and Greg Rucka (writer). --

Once in a while an artist comes along and does something totally and completely unexpected but also so amazing that you can't help but sit up and take note. Nicola's take on this book is exactly that. No scan will ever be able to do these gorgeous pages justice. The ink wash technique is especially noteworthy. --

In an interview, Nicola said this of her work: "I'm spending a lot more time getting my roughs right as, once I start inking, there's little opportunity to erase anything. Fortunately the line work happens pretty fast and I'm keeping it loose and light on detail. Then I start the ink wash right on the boards. This is the slowest part but all the form and texture happens here. The whole look of this series is about these earthy, layered, organic washes. I want it to feel like an artifact, to see the texture of the ink and the paper as well as the texture of the items and environments in the panels. It starts pretty loose, but of course I can't help myself, and it gets pretty detailed as I get in there with the darkest greys and the finest brush."
