Thank you for the thoughts, Marcus. I agree. My favourite artworks are usually the masterclasses in inkwork and flow within & between panels. Seeing the qualities that you so elegantly stated come together like this make the artwork a peak for what I hope to find when collecting art or reading a darn fine comic book. 

I am always impressed by Alan Patrick's work (all those ideas and details!) This is a great representation of his skills. Thank you for sharing it!

It is always great to see Darwyn's Superman drawings emerge. There are not enough of them!

This is an excellent composition. Everything works together perfectly. Thank you for sharing this atmospheric gem with us.

Wow! Where did you find this?!? The Unchained/Blue storyline is among my favourites for Red Sonja, and I rarely see the original art anywhere. Sonja sure knew how to sport a blue demon/werewolf pelt. Thank you for sharing!

I agree. It occurs to me now that the top right panel is the only one where the camera isn't slanted. That solid architecture is holding the page together while the camera tilts from left to right like a ship listing to its sides.

Senseational. The grey palette was an inspired choice and makes it stand out from his other paintings of her!

All-Star Western is a title that comic fans and art admirers should talk about more often! Thanks for sharing these!

Both of the Buzio Hawks look great. The artist's style gives new life to these characters. I'd buy that comic! 

I think that Alan always gives more to every drawing than should be humanly expected. This is no exception. I have a few pencil drawing by him and I continuously find new details and new ways of seeing the composition. The clear inked version came out really well. The inker must be faced with some challenging decisions throughout the process!  Thank you for sharing these with us.

I love it!  A great display of colour variations and 100% in line with the original Robert Howard stories! Seriously jealous...

I have never seen an Amanda Connor rendition of Big Barda. It works wonderfully in her style. Thanks for sharing the story about her armour. I had never thought about how time-consuming that must be to draw and colour, and so I see why the second costume was so valuable to artists! Thanks for sharing this with us on CAF! 

This is perfect. t do not think it can get better than this. Thanks for sharing this gem with with us on CAF!

I admire your collection of Sonjas and the Timar works make it even better. Thank you for sharing these with us on CAF!

It is impressive how much energy is on this page! Her sequence of Sonja covers are my favourite run of Sonja covers that I have seen.

This is perfect. I have no idea how Amanda makes it look so easy. It couldn't be any better!

I love this Sonja. The artist is having fun playing with different sizes, perspectives and balance. Thank you for sharing it with us on CAF.

This is a great one! I am a big fan of Alan Patrick and have been lucky to pick up a few of his pages. They have some many ideas and details squeezed into them, that you can keep admiring them over and over.

Wonderful! This is a great example of how much the inker/inking matters. Thanks for sharing it with us on CAF.

This is a perfect rendition of Evil-Lyn. Seeing this pop up on CAF brought me to your MOTU gallery and I spent some time enjoying and appreciating it. Thanks ffor sharing your treasures with us!

As usual, it is clear that your treasure chest is bottomless. This is interesting to me because the transition between the colours that Frank labeled 'purple' and 'cobalt' is something distinctive in his art (especially as used on the body in the bottom right corner). I assumed that this effect was entirely due to the colouring industry's limitations for blending. Today I learned that it originated as a distinctive artistic choice -- that was mindful of the capabilities of the colour industry. Thanks for sharing.

That is great that you were able to keep the pages in sequence. Well done and thank you for sharing them with us!

Beautiful and bold! I have been hoping to find a Tim Sale Catwoman for years and so I am very jealous of yours! Thanks for sharing it with us on CAF.

Alan Patrick never disappoints. Nice inking too!

One thing that I like about CAF is finding treasures like this years after it was uploaded. There are a million drawings of Sonja out in the world, and so seeing an artist create a unique take on the character is always exciting. Well done with that commission request!!

You are right. Looking at it again, I further appreciate that the three central three beats of worry are framed by joyful motion/activity (leading up to level footing and then back down again).

I agree with you. I particularly enjoy how the broad chest of Conan pops out in the last panel because there is no shading. It puts a spotlight on him during the joke.

I agree and and I wasted no time in displaying it in my home. 

Great concept + the perfect artist. I love it. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Fabulous in every way. It has that special (indefinable) something!

This is a great example of Walter's Red Sonja (always very little patience for posing). Thanks for sharing it with us!

A solid punch! This was an exciting and more-complex era of Batgirl comics. I miss it! Thanks for sharing this page with us on CAF.

I love a good Red Sonja taven scene, and this one has it all. Thanks for sharing it with us!

A legitimate classic! Thanks for sharing this JAFFEE with us.

This is perfect! Thanks for sharing this classic-style Joker with us.

Thanks for sharing this. There is nothing that could be added to make this better. The blank space reminds us of Tim, and that is beautiful.

I am really impressed by this Sonja. There is a weight to her in this image that you do not see in 99.9% of Sonja art. Thank you for sharing this with us on CAF.

It does not get better than this. Well done on approaching the Delbo & Giella teams for this. I know that it was newly drawn, but I can't help wanting to call it a 'classic'!

This is outstanding. I really enjoyed the 'Blue' era and this is one of the strongest images that I have seen from it.

I am happy to have wandered into your galleries today. You have a  lot of outstanding commissions that really off of the page. This is one of my favourites (and that McKone Wonder Woman, and that Melo Powergirl, and that... too many to name!). Thanks for sharing these with us on CAF.

Thanks for sharing this one. It was a very clever idea to get the logo done to match the heart-shaped Harley. The big question is which came first? My guess is the logo.

It looks like Jim spent a little extra time on this sketch. It is a beauty!

I really enjoyed this art and writing from this run of Red Sonja. We have seen many armies of skeletons before in the pages of R.S., and Moritat's was one of the best:  fresh, fast and memorable. I hope that find other pages from this battle sequence because they all flow together well. Thanks for sharing this with us on CAF!

I am jealous and I want one!! I loved Moritat's run with Red Sonja. Thanks for sharing this drawing with us on CAF.

This is a great character for Darwyn's style. It is shocking that this was still unsold near the end of the convention. Thanks for doing the right thing and buying it from him!

This is excellent. I always love the hair and clothing details he adds. Thanks for sharing both versions.

Thanks Marcus. I have seen Sampere do different amounts of finishing around his time with Batgirl that I think is related to DC's experimentation with digital colouring. His pages during this time transitioned from some shadows and x-marks that allowed the inker to be more part of the process. There is then a quick change to figures with clear outlines but little backgound or shadowing that were scanned and sent for digital colours,(including digital inks) and texturing. The penciller/inker teams gave way to simpler pencils and computer magic ...for better or worse :)

I am excited to see these Carlos Gomez pages in your gallery. Very few of these have surfaced on CAF.  I absolutely loved that two years Carlos spent with Amy Chu on Red Sonja. They both developed their skills as the series went on and just kept getting bigger and bolder with every book. Thanks for sharing them!

That is a powerful story. Thank you for sharing both the artwork and the meaning with us. It is a perfect piece to have.
