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).

Thanks... corrected the typo!

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. 

Thanks! I can do a pin-up in a couple hours, but a book on a schedule would be daunting.

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!

Ruben,
I had zero expectations of this level of quality. I thought I had overpaid for a pencilled piece. When Walt posted this my first thought was that it must be for someone else, until he mentioned Linda Blair's charity. As it turns out, my bid was the biggest bargain of all time!
Best,
Ron

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

It wasn't just the color. He drew him riding a surfboard!

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!

If you search my gallery by artist you'll find the clean scans. They've been there for months!

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

Yup. I don't know if his values are correct, but he's right to say the Romita sketch market has blown up.

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!

I ain't got no more wall space! Okay, I do, but I prefer a tasteful gallery look rather than a wall of mondrian frames. And like a lot of collectors, I'm confined to my home office.

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

It wasn't publishedwhen I commissioned it, but Adam re-purposed it, colored it and it became a variant cover to Spider-Gwen #1.

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?

Still in Cali; just visiting Canada.
