Talk about going out with a bang. What a great way to close your 2023 collecting year. Such an incredible and dramatic match up. Just love the work Smitty did on all the debris. Wow!
Thank you, my friend! I agree; Smitty did a great job with the debris!
Gorgeous dude! Major congrats on another great PMS piece!
Thank you, my friend! You had an amazing year for art acquisitions!
Dream matchup! Leader vs leader showdown! Smith not only gets the form right, but enevlopes the scene with all that extra junkyard metal debris that must have been a blast to for him to detail out piece by piece to make the drawing more interesting! If I were Magneto, I'd just close Cyclops' visor up so he would be blind. Bad guys don't have to fight fair and Erik would hit a guy with glasses.
Thank you, Marcus! And I agree; Cyclops is probably doomed...
Great one
Thank you!
Paul Smith draws the best Cyclops. Fun commission!
Thank you, Chuck! I agree that Smitty draws the best Cyclops. Paul has said that Scott is the X-Man he identifies with the most.
Awesome! Ruby quartz and wreckage make for quite the combo! Congrats AK!!
Thank you, my friend! As Marcus noted above, Cyclops and his ruby quartz visor are probably headed for a very unpleasant experience!
Great battle with an incredible backround.
Thank you so much, my friend!
One of Smith's recent best and that's saying something! Strong classic vibe mixed with some great killer detail on the machine pieces here! Congrats!
Thank you, my friend! Paul Smith still retains the ability to make the jaw drop and I was very lucky to get this piece.
Fabulous Paul Smith commission! Love the poses here--Cyclops looks like he really could take out Magneto. And it's cool the way Magneto is pulling up a stream of metallic objects that he's obviously going to dump on poor Cyclops! Beautiful inks as usual. Great pick-up!
Thank you for the comment, Bill! I think the "one minute later" version of this commission would have Cyclops buried under a pile of metal rubble.
