Description
Although she is justly famous for her excellent series, Elfquest, she did do some artwork outside this series as well and this is one of the rare pages from a Triton solo story. The story is entitled "Conscience of the King" and this is the very first (and title) page. Of all the Inhumans, this was the perfect character for her art style. It is a very beautiful page of art and has to be seen in person.

This is also the first Wendy Pini page I have obtained after a fairly lengthy time in the hobby.

Splashy!! In more ways than one ;-) 

A very nice piece, was familiar with her Elfquest work but have not seen much else of her art at all so this is very interesting to look at and appreciate.

Congrats and thanks for sharing it!

Many thanks, Kavi. Yes, there isn't much work by her outside Elfquest. And thank you also for a marvellous pun!

Love Elfquest, but had absolutely no idea she had done any Marvel work.  This is so cool and so fun for so many reasons.  Love it.

Many thanks, Eric. I must confess that I, too, had no idea about her Marvel work. This is such a nice piece and does reflect her own unique style.

This is indeed a beautifully illustrated page. Such gorgeous and eye appealing rendering! I think, however, that the thing that stands out most to me is that (and correct me if I'm wrong, please) it appears as if Pini redrew Triton's face to make it appear more Elfquest-like! In fact, were it not for the face, I don't believe I'd EVER have guessed Wendy Pini as the artist here. Congratulations on this really lovely addition, CAB!

Many thanks, Rubén. There is a smidgen of whiteout on the face so there was at least a little adjustment. One thing, however, is clear: there is an overall Wendy Pini feel to the entire page and I agree that the face does make a big difference.

Many thanks, Nick. Yes, this is so different from the way in which Triton has been portrayed by other Marvel artists. Wendy definitely imparted her style on this character in this piece.

Sucha  graceful line to make Triton look so at ease with powering through the swim to crack through the panel border!  Aquaman could have benefited from this Wendy Pini fantasy vision.

Many thanks, Marcus. I never quite understood the general negativity towards Aquaman but it is so strong that perhaps even a Wendy Pini take on him might not have helped!

I'm Elfquest all the way but her art is so good and it's indeed super fun to see these early raritities pop up.

Yes, it is. As mentioned, there is very much an Elfquest vibe here.

This is GREAT!  I really didn't know Wendy for art outside of her own series and this proves how good she really was.
