Score!!! What a beauty. Congratulations!
GORGEOUS! An homage to one of my favorite X-Men covers
Very nice!
Beauty.
What a beauty. A more mature and refined White Queen. Frank Quitely is the greatest.
Magnificent!
Quitely inking himself is a special treat. Thin hair and outlines in those fine needlepoint inks.
Malcolm will correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that's ink. Frank usually uses a 2H soft graphite pencil over his preliminary blue pencil layout and then has a digital inker do a light and dark scan of the final drawing, using the photoshop contrast and layer tools to blend the two scans for publication.
I think I like this better than the original published cover. I know that Frank was unhappy with changes that Townsend (and the four other inkers) did to the eyes and other subtle details on his New X-Men run. This redo is probably closer to what he had intended be published and it looks great. The zipper positions are a really nice touch. Quitely has no peer.
Yes, it's pencils over bluelines. I likely heightened the contrast for the scan - the bluelines and lighter pencils are clear on the oriignal art.
Thank you for always delivering and understanding how the sausage is made.
Having done technical drawing thats too dark for a 2H, which is a light shade. Might be a 2B or above? 2B or not 2B? That is the question, Marcus.
As good as, if not better than, the famous cover. Congrats!
Better! (Just had a look at it.)
I agree. Softer. I should market it as a recreation!! (I also wonder how her costume stays on....)
Cover quality.
I note, without surprise, that Emma is still half zipped.
Quick costume change for the photo op
really lovely, congrats
Outstanding
Exactly the commission I'd have asked for.... and it turned out perfect.
