Description
Beautiful, isn't it? From time of writing, Jeff had sketched this up about a month ago or so, and on one of his streams he coloured it as something of a warm-up, and I was fortunate enough to win the auction that followed! I like the character Shrinking Violet, especially as she appears in the Legion reboot (which Jeff was involved in through the Legionnaires book!), and she looks wonderful in this cover!

There's lots to love about this piece. The way he illustrated the material of her Legion uniform/jumpsuit looks just so real in that rubbery skintight way, as if you could touch the surface of the drawing and feel it squeak under your fingertips. There's something very sweet and serene, too, about the whole image. Her expression is very characteristic of Violet; perhaps slightly bashful but decidedly relaxed and in her element here. Her pose, too, is at ease in a slightly sheepish fashion in a way that comes across as very sweet and charming, which contrasts so noticeably against the more vocal and sometimes acerbic personalities of her fellow Legionnaires. Yes, indeed; this cover is Shrinking Violet as we know her best; quiet, content. Glad to be a Legionnaire, but glad, too, to be a peaceful part of the surroundings.

In conclusion, I must say I love the pleasing, almost impressionistic nature of this cover. I imagine myself regarding a Claude Monet painting and looking very closely at some of the hazy little flowers and finding Violet among them, shrunken as she is among the petals. For someone like Jeff who has done so many very provocative and even downright NSFW pieces, this cover is delightfully sweet and wholesome, and I'm very pleased to count it as part of my collection.

What a beautiful flower garden!  You've got your daffodils, your black-eyed Susans, your Easter lilies... and a little Violet.

I know of one Legion collector who would like this bouquet for Valentine's Day.

The truth of it, Marcus, is that I had my eye on this one for a long time as Jeff worked on it, but when I showed Connor he just fell right in love with it.  He's the only person in the world who I would give up a piece like this for, but I think sweet little Vi here is right at home in his collection! 

Plus, I still live in the same house as this piece, so I'd call it a win-win!

Dear Margaret,

I was referring to myself.

Well, you've got good taste, but I'll thank you to keep your Valentine's Day interests well away from my fiance.  ;)
