Marcus Wai said:

Killer design!  That's a cover for a Red Sonja tale set in a sci-fi setting.  The piece has great symmetry with the horse legs crossed on each side and Sonja holding the center of our attention!


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.

Visually juicy with texturally rich colors that virtually drip off the paper!  The color coordination is brilliantly done!


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!

Koufay on fire!  All those soft textures presenting Sofia Loren as the sex symbol in high focus. 


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.

The wave and folds in her cape is really eye catching from afar.  The hatchwork is incredible up close!  Very beautiful setup with a vulnerable look to Batgirl.


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

Very nice with the two tone painting to separate the foreground and background.  Nice focus on the old man (God himself?) who can only watch as hell tears itself apart.


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

It's a scorcher!  The prairies and plains look like a hellscape!  It'll make even good men behave edgy!


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.

Incredible !  I'm going to say watercolor and colored pencil ?  This is so good !!  Congrats on owning this great piece !!


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.

The closeups of the lady are great to show the small brush strokes that become to look tightly detailed when pulled back.  She's definitely in the femme fatale category with her wicked body type! 


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

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.

This should be a cover.  Just great how the face shows up in the mirror for the audience to see. 


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.

Magnificent indeed. The face impresses like a powerful dream. Joe's done a lot of these, but this may be his best (?).


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.

Marcus Wai said:

Amazing!  Being this is Maroto, it's easy to understand why Teegra is the central focus and putting her in peril captured by Nekron's forces will have a broad appeal.  His world building and imagination in pencils go far beyond just erotica in fantasy.   


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

Every panel had to be well planned before the paint brush even touched it!  Everything had to be in an exacting manner for the story to work.


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

I am happy to support Timo in his animal welfare efforts and can warmly recommend his book Give a Fuck! There are a lot of great animal paintings by him printed in it and it is published bilingually in German/English.

Very cool as this would be part of the old west series which wouldn't be complete without some of these saloon gals.


It's interesting to see Alberto Varanda and Manuel Prieto Muriana discussing what the saloon girl should look like to distract Doc Holyday from his tuberculosis and get him in the mood for his next duel.

I could ask Timo Würz directly, who is of course a heavy metal fan. In any case, the motif and music style fit together.

Pirate gold!  You can imagine that there had to be people who actually dressed up for Thole for literal portrait as opposed to his sci-fi concept paintings.


Thanks for your comment, Marcus. In my opinion, Karel Thole was one of the most important graphic artists of the 20th century. For a long time, I didn't find access to his sometimes somewhat unwieldy works, but that's changing now.

Evil comes in all sizes and this large painting brings all the macabre fun of the cult hit!  This Blade is going to get his next movie before Marvel's Blade.


Now I'm curious to see what the movie is really like. I've ordered the mediabook and maybe I'll manage to meet Timo here in Germany at some point so that he can sign it for me.
