Nando Xavier said:

I was just thinking about this cover and how impossible it would be to own. � This is a great recreation

Thank you! That is one of the main reasons I started doing these over 10 years ago, plus the different styles are an inking master class.

CATWOMAN cross-hatch/splatter

Experiment: success!

The two methods work great on this piece - it lends it a very cinematic feel, it reminds me a lot of David Lynch's Eraserhead, particularly the final scene. But with a much better-looking subject, of course! ;)

I got to see this in person (Gary's local to me) when he was finished, and it was awe-inspiring. You got a gem!

THIS is more like it.� You have tremendous talent.� Do more "reinterpretations" rather than direct recreations.

Well, mostly I do what I'm commissioned for - which is direct recreations. Thank you!

Marc Pecorella said:

Nice job Chris. What did you do--did you lightbox the page and ink it that way?

Hi Marc - I re-pencilled the contours using a lightbox for correct placement, but inked and did the tones freehand (no lightbox) using a printout of the original for reference.

Ray Cuthbert said:

That must have been a toughie!

In retrospect, the trickiest part was making the decision to go for it! Once I started breaking it down into smaller tasks and methods (substituting grey marker for the craftint & zip, hand-drawing the pattern on her skirt) it got less intimidating.

Very cool!� I love the inking of the shadow on the wall!

Thanks, Ray! I used a lot of dry-brushing technique on this one to try to match Flessel's original.

Wow, this one is so cool. I MUST look this artist up

Thanks! This one was 95% recreation, with a few details (Flag's head, some resizing/extension of some elements to allow the masthead to fit, etc) altered, though. I tried to follow the inking style as closely as possible.

Will Cox said:
Wonderful recreation. Is that zip on Ant-Man's helmet?

Thanks a lot! Nope, I don't have any zipatone, so sometimes when I run into this on a recreation I just do small areas like that manually with a Pitt pen.
