Mosaic #3 pg 20 SPLASH by Khary Randolph (ft Spider-Man)

2nd of 2 Spidey related posts today and my first published piece by Khary Randolph! I got a nice Blade commission (check it out here if so inclined: https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1486366) but have been thinking about that right published example…and I think I got it!

This page is from the series Mosaic, which follows the solo story of new Inhuman Morris Sackett aka Mosaic. As a result of Terrigenesis he loses physical form but is able to enter the bodies of others, controlling them, kinda like Deadman. I really liked the character’s design and his power set really lent to some neat visuals in the book. In this moment he possesses Spider-Man – he’s looking for a bit of thrill (Spidey swingin’!) and curious to know what’s in the head of one of the most known heroes out there.

I don’t buy pencil only non-rendered art very much, but I loved how Khary captured the moment here, from the figure work to the poses and expressions. Khary’s got an angular kind of style that works well for these more kinetic moments. Loved his rendition here of that crawling-on-the-wall Spidey pose, particularly the attention to detail on the hands and fingers. I also like the head turn and the squinting eye lenses, letting you know that something’s amiss :) Lastly, the mirror image technique showing that Mosaic’s in control works to great effect. And you can tell by Mosaic’s smile he’s pretty happy with himself!

Included the published image, too, as it also came out great. Thanks, Khary and rep Paolo!
