Amazing piece!!! I love Anand's work (just FYI, his name is currently mispelled in your post so it's not showing up with the rest of his art on CAF). I like how he leaned even further into the dark and gothic mood/vibe of the original here. congrats on the great commission result (and getting it out of the demise of IK to boot).

Great piece. Who added the trade dress?

Wow. Amazing. How long was the wait?

X-Men fans are in a tizzy!  This needs a Ron Lim logo and color treatment!

I really love when you do these pinups with the color and lettering, Ron! They always look so amazing. How do we get you to color for Marvel on a book? I'd pay money for that. 

That would make a great cover.

Yes, youarite! The question though, is: Did you know at the time of bidding that the commission would be at such an unbelievably high level of finish? I've seen a few great Simonson Beta Ray Bill commissions of the years, but this is one of the best I've ever seen, maybe the best. Kudos, Ron!

Are you the proud owner of Vinny's first commission??!! :)

Awesome reinterpretation of a classic cover!  I thought Iceman looked a bit silvery too but chalked that up to artistic liberty.

Wow, a Chaykin Doc Ock, so cool! Ron, I love your coloring and lettering, but you should also consider adding scans of just the original art as additional images so we can see what they look like!

Are these the famed sketch cards that were discussed by the Romita envelope seller?   If so, what a bonanza!

I think you're gonna need a frame for this bad boy! That's the kind of detail you are going to want to look at again and again! Wall power, indeed! Huge congrats!

Holy crap you have this original? Wow, amazing! 

And all this time you're claiming to be Ron "Not the Artist" Lim!  I feel conned!

Oh please

your Silver Surfer is cosmic cool :) 

Love when comic artist show that they are just as much the fans we are

this is the definitive Gwen Stacy image 

Beautiful piece.  This was published as a cover wasn't it?

It's a beauty Ron, and I'd say you got the better financial end of the trade! By the way, aren't you from Cali? How'd your family end up in Calgary?
