... and how the light side of the Force outshines everything!

Very nice drawing by Bete. I also really like her style.

Wow, that's a masterpiece!

Freddy is simply iconic, and Tracey has portrayed him fantastically.

Inventing characters that people associate with an artist, developing them creatively, establishing your own distinctive style, and achieving financial success with genuine artistic work is the greatest thing for an artist. Many talented people out there are just scraping by, and that makes me a little sad. Who on earth invented this damn AI?

The eyes are definitely supernatural—and so is the whiteness of the teeth 🤣.

I'd rather not think about how much work goes into a drawing like that. You have to have a special passion for this kind of photorealistic artwork to even attempt it.

It is the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow. It was my wish to place this church in the background as a contrast to Black Widow. Aesthetic considerations were at the forefront here, i.e., I wasn't concerned with accurately depicting existing stories in the MCU.

Thank you for this wonderful commissioned work, which I will soon be able to add to my collection. Very, very beautiful and created with great customer focus. Keep up the good work!

An absolutely magnificent cover with perfect coloring, great drama, and beautiful composition. Ballestar has really created something very special here. Congratulations!

Thank you—Biffignandi was a master illustrator with an unmistakable style. 

I completely agree with you, Marcus. Barbara Jensen's artistry is truly impressive.

You're right, Marcus, Dwayne Johnson has an almost superhuman charisma, and he also seems to be a very likeable person. Definitely a rare combination.

I must admit that I haven't followed every appearance in Al Pacino's career. So thank you for pointing out Dunkaccino.

Thank you, Jörg. Carlos is very good at what he does, and I love his style. I will be receiving more artwork from him and am really looking forward to it.

I don't want to run into him.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, it was a commissioned piece, which Thomas did an excellent job of creating. I'm a big fan of the film and wanted to have an alternative movie poster for it. 

Wow, Gary, that turned out really great. One of my favorite scenes from the good old days of cinema.

That's true, Marcus. I always enjoyed seeing Stan Lee make his cameo appearances in the good old Marvel movies.

That was also my first thought when I saw this masterpiece for the first time, Marcus. The details are simply breathtaking and the overall composition is unique. I was really happy that it hadn't been sold yet and that I was able to come to an agreement with Gil.

Thank you, Marcus, for your comment. Jean Medeiros has been convincing for years with his great artistry and good choice of motifs.

Fantastic work, Gary. Your technique is beyond reproach, and of course the subject is a knockout too!

Thank you, Marcus, for your comment. I have no idea how Koufay does it. The hands, the facial features, the hair, the fur, all the photorealistic details. A fantastic work of art.

Obviously we were active in the same auction. Congratulations on this magnificent work! I was very lucky to buy the painting Great Sophia - also from Craig's collection - at auction shortly afterwards.

Delicious discussion. I love it. Fortunately, almost anything is possible with fantasy and comic art.

Absolutely spot-on comment, Marcus, the cape is really brilliantly drawn!

Interesting interpretation, Marcus, but I think Ballestar might actually have thought so.

"It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have."

Great purchase! Congratulations! Who was the model again? I mean the one in the bathtub...

Yes, Marcus, I think quite a few viewers will think of the fire of hell or a demonic environment when they see these glistening colors.

... and the hellish red sky creates the right atmosphere.

Don't lie! You didn't even look her in the face ;-)

Thank you! Definitely unbelievable. Emersom didn't tell me anything about the technique, but I think you're right in your assumption. There are probably a few pen strokes in ink as well.

Damn good 80s style!

Thank you my friend, we both love beauty, and Enric can still create very beautiful paintings. 

Thank you, Marcus, I love your always accurate comments and analysis. 

¡Muchas gracias, señor!

Thank you, Marcus, for your kind comment. I was really unsure whether I should upload this here, but why not. It feels like the cry for help is coming up more and more often in this world, and it seems to be heard less and less.

How true!

Yes, Marcus, I was also enthusiastic about the composition of this artwork right from the start. Unfortunately, I don't know whether this illustration was used for a Dampyr comic or published elsewhere.

Thanks for the comment. I wouldn't say it's his best work, but the facial expressions and the detailed rendering of hair, eyes, mouth are exquisite.

Maroto's drawing style is indeed unique, and the different image layers give this drawing an almost hypnotic effect.

And that's exactly what Don Lawrence was a master of.

Good interpretation, Marcus. The strong contrasts and the phenomenal coloring make this work special.

A real feast for the eyes, Jörg! We are delighted for you and say: Congratulations on the great purchase!

Thank you, Marcus, for your spot-on comment. I love Shelton Bryant's art, and find it absolutely stunning how he has adapted and evolved his style and design elements over the years.

Great Cover!

Spectacular and powerful - wow!

Jefter regularly produces outstanding drawings in a very unique style. I'm also a fan of his.

Jackman looks most impressive in Logan, which I recently saw again. Great cinema!
