Description
I fell in love with Belen's work ever since her Silk variant cover to Amazing Spider-Man #50 (Nick Spencer run). A cover I narrowly missed out on. Ever since then I have kept an eye on whatever Belen produced in the chance I would be able to capture another gem. Unfortunately it seemed that Belen chose to create most of her cover digitally so I leapt on the chance to get this commission by Belen done for me. In doing so I broke one of my rules in purchasing OA:

1) Only buy what you read
Rasputin IV was gaining more and more coverage from fans ans collectors. I love her style and concept yet admittedly I have yet to read a comic she features in! But I was really interested to see Belen's interpretation of her.

In addition, Belen completed this piece in a couple of weeks, a lot faster than I was expecting! As well as her skills with the pen, I have to admire her professionalism.

A big thanks to Miles from Black Diamond Comic Art for facilitating the commission.

I'm a fellow admirer of Belen's work- still hoping for that exact right piece. I waffled on that list, but what a great commission result. Congrats on a winning piece!

Thanks dude! I too was waiting for that exact right piece, but settled for this commission. Your gallery is A+++ It seems we have similar tastes, looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!

Great commission! Congrats!

(By the way, it's Powers of X #1 if you're looking for the comic that she made her first appearance in. Worth reading House of X at the same time though. Enjoy! Awesome series.)

Thank you! Yeah, I really need to check that comic out. Really jealous of your Rasputin IV pickups!

Thanks! I'm jealous that you'll be reading House of X and Powers of X for the first time! We all get a bit jaded by the hype for each of these events but this one really delivered. Enjoy! (PS I have another OA cover from House of X featuring Rasputin IV that I'll be posting shortly...)

Belen has been creating amazing work, and I was disappointed to miss out on her most recent commission list. Rasputin IV is a great subject (one of the most memorable characters from Powers of X). Congrats on a great commission!

Thank you so much! Belen is reaching new heights! I'm sure another commission opportunity will present itself soon.

The result is insane. That is an awesome commission. Was this the cover quality level? I will post a halfbody commission soon.

Thank you! Bizarrely, I was in two mind when I recieved this...maybe it wasn't exactly what I was expecting compared to Belen's other work, but it's starting to grow on me now!
