Description

Yet another eBay win! A seller was listing dozens of Dawnstar pieces for sale, and I was browsing through looking for a good deal when this one (unsurprisingly) caught my eye. This is from super early in Jeff's career, too - 1994 was his first year working in the industry! Another way to tell that this is an early piece is by the signature, which Jeff would eventually swap out for the one he still uses today, and from the layout, done in light blue pencil. Jeff would continue to do most of the layouts for his published pages in blue pencil, but from what I've seen it wasn't something he kept doing for his con sketches.

And just look at all the detail poured into this one! The feathers, the hair, every single tassel - just incredible. I love how much movement the tassels give to the piece, making the pose so much more dynamic. It's also fun to see that even though Jeff's work was so closely linked to the Legionnaires title and the Reboot Legion, fans still wanted to see older Legionnaire designs (like Dawny, here) in his style.

congrats on the Ebay win/find! it's a nice vintage sketch by Jeff Moy that fights right into your collection. I like the subtle differences in line weight/size based on the portion of the figure he is illustrating, lovely sketch.

Thanks, Kavi! Excellent point about the line weights, too - I hadn't even really noticed! One of the things I love best about this hobby is how other collectors can give you new perspectives on your art.

Very chic! That 70's design has cowgirl fringe tassles, sleek form, and Marie Osmond good girl innocence on her face!

You've just gotta love the tassels! I think it's a requirement to be a Legion fan.

Congrats, that is a lovely piece! (I'm a sucker for winged characters anyway and those are some nice wings!)

Thank you! I'm definitely with you, wings will enhance just about any character's design!
