Description

Vertical... horizontal... this DPS is pretty badass no matter how you look at it. Basically designed like a pin-up centerfold poster.

If somebody told me this was a Deathblow piece I would believe it. Definitely looks influenced by Jim Lee's Deathblow which had heavy Frank Miller vibes and caused quite a stir in the early days of Image Comics. This DPS is also heavy on contrast and falls in line with the popular Sin City style that ruled many comics of the '90s.

Are we sure this isn't a Deathblow pin-up?

I can see a bit of Miller in there, too.

Awesome DPS, I prefer looking at it vertically myself. I totally could mistake this for a Deathblow page (never read Chapel), and the high contrast inking/lighting style is for sure reminsicent of FM's work at the time.

Till I read your description, I was sure you'd screwed up the title of this piece. It's a Deathblow pinup, dammit!!
