Description

Featuring the amazing talent of Jason Scott Campbell and honestly the over the moon talent of Miss Sabine Rich. Anyways this one has a really long story but I'll cut and paste my kudos write up here for it. Thank you CAF member Doug Peters for the assist with this one.

One of the commission requests I had made for NYCC was of a J.S. Campbell. I have loved that man’s art since I had first laid eyes on it. Absolutely amazing work and anytime he gets ahold of a blank even his head shots are something to behold. Anyways the request I had made was for one of my favorite characters in the Marvel Universe, Hope and while she has a very common look to her with her head shots I knew that if he added a cape and at least the shoulders many would be able to tall exactly what it was. So NYCC begins and commission set, art done, and I think Doug knowing how much I love this character and her father daughter relationship with Cable knew that this one was a little let down. Its not to say that JSC did a horrible job or anything like it, he actually went above the call of duty and added color.

Normally this is a good thing, right? But this one time it honestly wasn’t. It was meant to get the inking and coloring process done by a few others and then off to CGC land but because he had used wax pencils when doing it made it almost untouchable by others. And I say this because Doug went everywhere to get this one colored or inked. Every name he asked either said, “that’s a JSC so not touching it with a ten foot pole” or “damn he already used colored pencils so sorry.” I have to say when he messaged me I think he knew deep down I would almost tear up a little at what had happened. For me and in my eyes, all I saw was a Hope commission that looked now more like a Mary Jane Watson wearing a turtle neck commission.

Fast forward to the next day and another CGC board member Aaron (Ajl007) and I began a conversation about great Copic artists and he turned me on to an amazing talent, Sabine Rich. Gotta say absolutely beautiful style. During this conversation he asked if I had anything I would like done by her and some how I just thought what the heck, might as well ask. Following a ton of help by Aaron a re-pickup by Doug, and absolute magic by Sabine I now have a piece of art that I am truly taking to the grave with me and if this had been the only thing I had picked up I would say that would have honestly been just fine.

So first and foremost THANK YOU DOUG you truly are a standard bearer when it comes to going the extra mile to both customer service and giving peace of mind to someone who truly needed it. You have done so much for me and have a customer and friend if you need one for as long as you’ll allow me to be one.

And Aaron, I already told you once, but when we meet up at the CGC dinner for Wizard World Austin beers are on me. You always seem to be that one piece in every man’s puzzle that he needs. You’ve helped me with gaining some almost impossible things easily and have given me something to look forward to almost a year before it even starts up.

Sabine, if you ever come on here and if anyone ever points her to the forum, thank you so much. I truly wish I could have been there to shake your hand and shown you how much I truly appreciate you adding something I truly could not get over.

Great story about this piece! Sabine did brilliant work and Doug is a stand-up guy! I can definitely see how you'd be disappointed with the original JSC sketch, but this turned out amazing in the end!!
