That is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!
I'm late to the party, but may I just add that this is one of my favorite Arthur Adams pieces? Not only is the drawing superb, but the inking is phenomenal! Love the added figure above the cover as well. To coin a word: Fantabulous!
Adams is sooooo good! Amazing!
I could look at this for hours. The details he packs into pieces is literally jawdropping!
Sorry if this is an odd question. I'm new to commissions and original art so there's a lot I still don't know.
I just bought a print of this exact piece from a vendor at Heroes Con for about $20, signed by Adams. Is this something that is common for comic artists to do, to both sell the original commission but also to sell prints of that commission?
Generally when you purchase a commission you are not acquiring any reproduction rights, just the physical artwork for personal use. So artists are free to use the image as a print, cover etc Many collectors are more than happy to see their commission used in such a fashion but if it concerns you I would definitely discuss it with the artist prior to commissioning. It might affect their decision whether to accept the commission and/or they may adjust their charge to take account of the image rights. (Arthur happened to mention to me last week that the X-men print is one of his best selling prints and has now topped the price of the original commission which was a slight surprise to me but very happy for him.)
I see! Thank you for your helpful reply. The print is definitely cool, but I'm sure the original is even better. :)
