Thank you! That pose is just an inspired choice by Hood.

Owner:

Thank you! Josh Hood never disappoints, but this was astounding even for him. I love that he even included the reflection of the building.

Owner:

Wow, that is high praise to be compared to one of the greats, Neal Adams! Totallly agreed too. I love that Havok's power ISN'T just concentric circles like they always are.

Owner:

Very nice! Guidry has such a clean and simple but effective style. Love the composition on this one with Huntress occupying the top half and The Question filling the bottom half.

Owner:

Thank you! I've always loved that effect of Starfire's hair leaving the fire trail, and Josh really killed it in that regard!

Owner:

Absolutely! I don't think I've seen a depiction of Juggernaut that so well captures that impact and the chaos that he can create.

Owner:

Totally agreed! I loved the almost retro vibes that the large eyes and head and the brainwaves gave off. So many depictions of Professor X just show him sitting in his wheelchair, so this was a great choice artistically.

Owner:

Thank you, and totally agreed! Josh Hood has always delivered on his commissions for me, but this was even a step above that with all the great Mojoworld machinery/screens in the background.

Owner:

Lol, I don't think I've ever seen a commission of a character drawn to be fat, let alone a whole collection of super-sized superheroes. I did recently see a commission owned by a guy who only requests superheroes dressed in bunny ears.

Owner:

Seems like Liefeld still doesn't like drawing feet, lol.

Great commission regardless!

Owner:

Razorback Fan

Lol, you are exactly right. I got a commission from him at Baltimore and immediately put it in a plastic sleeve.

Owner:

Probably one of the coolest headshots I've ever seen.

Owner:

Jim McNally

Even uninked this is incredibly vivid and striking. Very cool.

Owner:

Gorgeous and evocative!

Owner:

Thanks! He came up with the idea for the background on his own too, which I thought was really creative. He saw it as someone attacking a peaceful Buddhist village and Wolverine now seeking/taking revenge. :)

To not only have a sketch by Adams but a full figure sketch? This is a fantastic piece for any collection.

Owner:

I love that comparison to a dancer! Josh Hood has certainly captured Rogue's exuberance here.

Owner:

Thanks! Josh Hood really killed this one as he always does. I'm always impressed by the level of detail he puts into even his "limited background" commissions.

Owner:

Yeah Paul really crushed this one! He's pretty underrated IMO.

Owner:

Marcus Wai

This is incredibly cool! Super effective use of color to evoke mood and movement.

Owner:

Agreed, thanks! Dan really killed this one. Even more, the scan doesn't really pick it up, but the WW emblem and the bracelet both have metallic paint on them.

I see! Thank you for your helpful reply. The print is definitely cool, but I'm sure the original is even better. :)

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?
