Shawn Crystal Lone Wolf & Cub

This is the third time I've commissioned Shawn Crystal, and each time he surprises me. I thought Lone Wolf & Cub would be a perfect fit for his art style. I wasn't sure if I wanted a painted or ink piece this time around so I left it up to him. Those of you familiar with Shawn's work know that his painted pieces tend to be very colorful and "electric". Instead of sticking with his usual painted style, Shawn took a more reserved and tonal approach to this piece - which I think worked out perfectly for the subject!

I had the added pleasure of seeing him putting the finishing touches on this and to pick it up from him in person at OAX 2024. He's a great guy and I highly recommend getting a commission from him. Thanks, Shawn and Jason at Essential Sequential for putting this together!
