Matt Wagner - Mage: The Hero Discovered #7 p. 18 blue-line

This is one of those memorable pages for me, when Kevin looks like he is going to fall under the spell of a Leanhaun Sidhe who Mirth describes as a "fairy mistress" but D&D people would know as a succubus. Oooh! Sexy/scary!

The blue-line consists of an acetate overlay of the pencil and ink page and a separate board containing a blue-line reproduction of the original page; Matt Wagner hand-colored the blue-line himself using watercolors and airbrush, the two techniques he used in this book, and has signed the piece. The original blue-line is done on a board that measures approx. 7 1/2" x 10 1/4" with an image area that is approx. that of the published comic book.

Many thanks again to Jim for making this beauty available.

I've included an additional pic of the hand-colored artwork as well to show off the detailed work.
