Psylocke by Brian Stelfreeze

Always great to get memorable experiences with artists at cons. Awesome Psylocke!

From Cycops to Psylocke for Stelfreeze. A stunner. I really prefer this kind of pen-and-ink piece work from him rather than his color work. The color/painted pieces are nice but there's a real boldness to his line here that's not always present in the colored/painted pieces. 

I would tend to agree with that in the sense that the pen/ink/marker stuff seems more spontaneous whereas the color work seems more refined but having seen him work live I'm not sure it's not all super controlled anyway :)

Another BUT is that where I usually don't respond so much to painted work in comics (especially if it's related to storytelling), Brian's painted technique, color palette and just plain color theory is just so sophisticated (and unique) I just love it. One of the very few in that category for me.

Loved reading the story, even when I was there. Happy to have spent the day together!

Looks so well designed too with it being done on the spot.  Not just any standard drawing as Stelfreeze adds the defiant look to Psylocke!

Very nice of Brian to create this fabulous piece inside your book for free! You Europeans DO benefit from the fact that is has always been cistom for artists to draw sketches with no expectation of payment, however, and most American artist are aware of this, so peopole at cons in Europe stand a far better likelihood of getting stuff like this done than at American conventions. It certainly is nice to see this still happen from time to time, giving us older fans a reminder of how things once used to be!

That entire experience sounds incredible from your story in the description. A nice sketch too but those memories are priceless! Congrats!!

Sounds like a great time with this artist and a wonderful memento to remember it.  Beautifully done Psylocke nonetheless.
