Description
Another OAX picked up directly from Josh! Funny story, literally when I walked in on Friday after airport arrival to check in and get my badge, Josh walked up to hand in his OAX auction piece – this one. So it was the first piece of art I saw in-person at the show and I’m lucky to have it come home with me :)

Was all about the colors here and like I said, I saw it in person straight away. Love all the reflect-y sheen-y colors off the helmet…so much poured into it and Josh did say he “went a little crazy with it”. It being done on 11x17 helps. I had a few people over the weekend tell me it reminded them of Moebius colors and after they said it…yup, I see it.

I have some other art by Josh I’m glad to have but none until this where he was showing out like this on the color front. He also said the auction dollars went fully to charity so that’s cool, too.

Thanks, Josh and CAF!

Wow - you basically said it all but those colors are straight fire 🔥- def getting some painted/colored Moebius vibes. Amazing Cassara and great OAX auction win for your collection and the charity, congrats!

So good! It's already been said, but it really evokes Moebius.

Orlando has plane you out in flight
Give you everything you need
To live inside commission page
Be beside a bidding rage
I had a dream, I hurt your heroes

Kang, I wish I got Cassara
I'll rock your bids the daylight comes
Make sure you are stylin' and warm
I am everything, tonight time be all Conquered
I'll do Josh things to please in reign
Purple lines and you won't feel ashamed, oh, oh
Open up on the inside, colors fill you up, colors make you cry

Those colors are insane.  Great pickup and it seems like it was destined to go home with you.

As others have said, a great colour palette. It doesn't does show the sheen of the costume, but also seems to hint at battle damage, perhaps - to match the battle-worn face. He seems very much a Conqueror here, a batte-scarred General.

Yes, good call on that battle damage!  Love that touch, both in the helmet, and in the face, as you note.  A Conqueror indeed, and not without the weathering of the experience it took to earn the title.

Thanks, Paul and all, for the comments!

Hadn't seen your piece, Leonard, it's great!  Faced forward and a great sheen-y color effect on the chest plate.  I'm glad you have it...yes in part so we didn't have to go toe to toe on this one :)  We'll have to meet at the show next time.  Thanks for the add!

How did he accomplish that effect? It'd be fun to see a video of his process, but the final result is damn cool!

Very, very, cool.  Really love the color choices.  Stylistically, I see some Moebius and some BWS, among others.

I'm not usually a big fan of colored work, but man, in this case I love the colors even more than I do the drawing itself!

Love Joshua's style and I still need a commish from him. This piece makes me think I should try to get one with color. Amazing pickup!

Not to sound cliche, but this would work wonderfully as a cover.
