Nekra by Teylor Smirl

I came across Teylor Smirl's artwork at MoCCA Fest 2011. She had a really interesting "punk" style to her work. I happened to have the Chaos War: Dead Avengers miniseries on me, since I'd gotten it autographed by writer Fred Van Lente. So I had the inspiration to ask Teylor if she would like to do a sketch of the psychic vampire Nekra, and gave her the first issue for reference. Teylor seemed to enjoy drawing the character, and she did a really great depiction of the villain. Her blog Flightless Birds is at http://teylorsmirl.tumblr.com/
