Eric Canete - Dr. Doom prelim

Saw this on the Essential Sequential site and fell in love with it...It's a prelim for an even more amazing finished Dr. Doom piece, but for the price this was at, it seemed like a no brainer. Sure, it'd have been nice if Eric had done a bit more work on the face/upper portion but it's still damn impressive. Somehow the contrast between the inks/Copics and pencil work gives it a James Jean feel (am I crazy?).. it just lends the piece a bit of a different mood, especially on the toned paper.

It is, though, unfortunately, unsigned, but hopefully at some point in the future, when the world is in a more 'normal' state I can see him at a con and he can sign it in person. (and maybe I can cajole him into putting a bit of work into the face). ;

12"x18" on lightly toned craft paper.

*EDIT* I had a nice chat with Eric at NYCC 2025 and we discussed this piece. I asked if he'd be able to finish the face and he said, sure, bring it back, so on the second day I was there I brought the original and he finished the face. No charge. A stand up guy. You can see the original version, with the pencil only face in the extra pics.
