Eric "EBAS" Basaldua - Emma Frost, the White Queen

One of my goals for the 2011 Pittsburgh Comic Con was to get a White Queen from Eric. I've been lucky to get a few sketches in the past and Emma was one of the few characters missing that Eric draws extremely well.

All in all, Eric crushed this sketch!! It's a stunner, at full 11x17 size. Love the shading on the figure itself, which is fantastic in its own right. The extra touches of the drapes and chair just really, really put this over the top. When I got this piece of art (really, "sketch" just doesn't sound right), I actually said "holy sh*t" and Eric laughed and said "that's always a good start." :)

Huge thanks to Eric, who worked on this sketch before the con opened the final day. A pro in the truest since; I thank you!! Extra huge thanks to my lady, without whom this wouldn't have been possible. I completely lucked out here!! :D
