What a cool style!  Lots of energy and emotion in the approach!

It's a rough style, but I like it.

What a stunning cover. I didn't know they had a Phoenix/Symbiote Spidey team up. What a combo I didn't think I needed. Great perspective and strong characters. I love how Phoenix is so powerful and Spidey looks like he's not holding back!

Symbiote/Black Suit is my favorite Spidey flavor so when I saw this it was a no brainer.

I just had her sign some books, although she did some free remarques for me while "personalizing" the signatures in the two Coffin Bound trades I brought and the Athanasia one I picked up from her table. I had set up a Wonder Woman pre-show commission but she said it was the one piece she wasn't able to finish in time and hopefully should be ready before Christmas

Nice! It'll be worth the wait I'm sure.

Jimmy adds a bit of humor to the piece with the background of a padded cell to an otherwise fashion magazine model look to Death.

I had the same thought. I wonder if that says more about the art or the observer. ;-)

Congrats!  It's a great page. I bought it from Matt at a convention about 15 years ago and had it framed on my wall for a while!  I remember going through Matt's portfolio, which had a lot of pages from Behold the Devil at that time, and picking out this one. Until I saw it again this year, I had forgotten that he wrote my name on it.  Fortunately, I have been fortunate enough to pick up some other pages from Grendel after I let this one go.

Excellent! Thanks for the context.

Guy as Warrior may have been his longest solo series run with a 90's attitude in writing and art!  Very sharp bad girl art to go along with the heavy inking!  It would kind of rule out Thibert.  

I appreciate your insight on the inker, thanks!

As I recall Frank only did one painted recreation of Red Sonja #10.

This is actually done in Krylon and Sharpie.

this is great, so is he inking over it on lightbox ? is there 2 final pieces? an inked and the OG pencils? the 2 work great together, the loose stylish ink over Ryan is a great combo. 

I'm not sure what JP's inking process is but a ightbox seems likely. There are two pages, you can see the pencils in the additional images section above. If you click on the tthumbnail you'll get the large version. I'm dfinately a fan of this combo.

This looks like a Timm pencil prelim for one of his famed commissions!  Probably a take on the X-Men #101 cover with the Phoenix rising!  Very highly detailed piece!

Interesting! Let me know if you find a link to the comission.
