Description

The Question by Val Semeiks

The Question and Jonah Hex are characters very much open to interpretation. I think that's what makes them interesting as commission subjects. Plus it's not the usual request that artists get.

Here Val gives us a cool Ditko-esque Question. I don't ask for a Ditko or Cowan style Question, I simply ask for the Question. The artist is free to interpret the character however they want. I think Val did a fantastic job giving it a Ditko feel, especially in the smoke strands. He looks very much like a Ditko character. I love it.

The Question by Val Semeiks. Pen & ink on 11x17 board.

Very cool with the smoke loosely making the logo? Semeiks keeps the mysterious tone of the character intact.

Really fun Question piece. But come on, dude, not a single word of description? No quotes from Semeiks about his thought process? The feathering on this piece reminds me of Gibbons' feathering style.

Lol. I'm working on it. I post the image first and then add description.

Oh! Shit, my previous comment is gonna look odd to people who come see this after you add the description! 😁

The second I saw the thumbnail image for this, by brain immediately registered "that's Ditko-style smoke." Another wonderful piece by Semeiks.
