Gorgeous inking, Michael! I love the different effects you get with pen and brush. I like how you use multiple crosshatching techniques to create different tones and different textures--Reminds me a bit of Wrightson. Fabulous work! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks!  - I'm a huge fan of Wrightson and discovered artists like Franklin Booth from him.  Bernie was the first professional artist I ever met. back in '95.

Astounding work!  Bernie was amazing - - and remains an inspiration for other artists, a high watermark we try to reach! This scan looks sharper than the printed book - - a lot of that crosshatch in the night sky closed up in print.  Thanks for sharing!

A wonderful work of art. I've loved this piece since seeing it reproduced thumbnail sized on ads in the back of old Savage Sword of Conan magazines... finally got the print a decade back, but still don't have wall space worthy of it. I hope you someday photograph the original - - I'd love to see if it shows traces of the blue pencils Barry often used... see if there are corrections, passages covered with white paint, then re-inked... all that good stuff... Congratulations on owning such an incredible drawing from one of comics and fantasy/romantic art's best.

Always liked this sequence - - both Barry's writing and drawing of this dream-like flashback, inked skillfully, by Kathryn Bolinger. A great example of BWS's Valiant work!

Great Page, from a great miniseries, from one of the true super-stars of comics, Barry Windsor-Smith - - ! Helped out here, after his long absence from comics, by Herb Trimpe's layouts, but the rendering is pure BWS!

Stunning! It's always a wonder to see BWS, in full "Red Nails"/early Gorblimey mode, inked Jack, without watering down his style, or overpowering Kirby's - - which granted, is so powerful, it's almost impossible to overpower... anyone a good mix! Barry's style seems to bring out Kirby's 3-D-ish strengths more than ever!

Did you pay "commission" prices, or "Convention sketch" prices.... the word "commission is too often used loosely, even when something is clearly a convention sketch and I wonder if that's what is happening here...?
