Wow. I now have another crown jewel for the collection. Once its inked that is.
When Scott's commission list opened, I knew I had to jump on it. The problem was that I had too many concepts. I decided to go with an 80's themed piece. I gave Scott the option of putting the setting at Titans Tower or Kraven's estate, secretly hoping he'd pick the graveyard, which he did.
Then came the task of picking the six villains. I wanted villains that were prominent to me during that time period. Kraven was obvious, that was the first trade I ever bought. Hobgoblin was also easy because he was the villain in the first Spider-Man comic I ever bought, and Tombstone rounded out the Spidey half since he was used quite a bit and Tombstone on a graveyard is a no-brainer.
Nightwing doesn't have near the rogues gallery Spidey does, though it could be argued that any Batman villain could be in there since he has fought most of them as Robin. Deathstroke obviously, Two-Face was another was choice, but I had trouble with third. I almost went with Terra, but Brother Blood won out.
I hope you enjoy this even a fraction as much as I do. Scott was so great to work with. And yes, this is going straight to Andy Owens to be inked.
