Damn! Kwannon channeling the powers of the dark side!
Badass and full. Congrats! What an eXceptional slice of Maleev.
If you didn't say it was Psylocke, I would have guessed this was a Star Wars piece with someone holding a lightsaber. Love the bright crackle of the sword against the dark blues. It sets a great mood.
Energetic, vivrant cover!!
That will radiate off the wall. Congrats!
There's no doubt who's the boss! There you have it, Maleev paints the new leader of Crimson Dawn!
That glowing sword is everything. Beautiful piece!
The Star Wars references have already been made for me above ha but this is a dark yet vibrant at the same time painted cover piece by Maleev that demands to be looked at! Def has wall power magic, and that fully decked out frame job looks fantastic. Congrats and enjoy it on the wall for years to come!
Alex Maleev was good out of the gate, but he nevertheless keeps getting better and better. This is a gorgeous piece!
This is Epic.
I am going to give myself a little credit. Alex and I were brainstorming and we came up with the concept during a training session. Happy it found a home.
Ok that is even more awesome, thanks for connecting with me. I would love to know any specific homage or inspiration for this piece so I can add to the history. Please message me privately or additional comments here.
I think this is the best Maleev I've ever seen. Absolutely tremendous and many congrats on adding this piece. The frame looks great! Wow - a real stunner.
Very cool. Great addition. Love the colours.
Dang! Just seeing this now, what an amazing piece! Love the glow from her sword!
An amazing masterpiece, and the framing is gorgeous!!!
This is glorious and evoks Maleevs previous works with Punisher resting among his enemies/victims. The glow on the sword achieved is extremely striking.
First Maleev Psylocke I've seen, and BAM. Preternatural...
Love this semi spin on the DD #50 cover, if I remember right. Same pose, but totally different in terms of character, colors, vibe...same but not! LOVE that. Congrats, man!
Wow, you are spot on, an homage to an earlier piece he did in 2003 - DD#50. I added the homage info to the description and an image of it. Love that you know your DD so well to hit it perfectly. Thanks K!!
This is one badass cover!!
Stunning painting of Psylocke by Alex Maleev! Love how this painting suggests the complex character of Psylocke. She's not a generic superhero, she has a complicated history that includes being one person and then being taken over by another personality. And this painting, with its rich purples and violets suggests the dark and sinister forces that are at war in Psylocke's brain. The way she is sitting back, after killing the man in the foreground, with her eyes gone stark white suggests the battle within herself. The glowing sword in her hand is the one thing that she can cling to that reminds her of who she is. Fabulous art. great pick-up, congrats!
Love your character analysis, always great to hear your thoughts and perspectives.
