One of their best collaborations for sure!
Well, Gabby is a clone of Laura so they're supposed to look the same :) As for using her own image, I'm guessing she might have acted out the facial expressions for reference as many artists do and that's what you're recognizing.
Truly awesome piece and it looks great framed!
I can't recall seeing a subpar commission from Chris, he always delivers. And thanks!
Thanks, Steve! I see the cover every day and still love it. Added an additional image showing the piece framed and on the wall.
Thanks for the comments, nice to hear that others dig it too. And check out the first issue of X-23's new solo series as the "All-New Wolverine". It was released yesterday and it's pretty damn good!
Thanks! But I can't take too much credit for the choice, I ask everyone to draw X-23, haha.
Hey and thanks, man! It's cool that he showed it off to you. Not all artists are open to the added complexity of something like connected covers, but some seem to enjoy the challenge and the opportunity to make something cool. I think Dan fits into that second category. From what he's said, he had fun working on it. :)
Thanks for the comments, everyone, glad you enjoy Jay's work as much as me. And thanks again to you, Kirk, for the opportunity. You bet I love it!
I don't know for sure, but it does kind of look like one. :) Maybe a small easter egg from Eric?
Thanks, Chad! I'd like to think Artgerm's X-23 has rendered all 1000 of them speechless, hehe.
I realize you're just making an observation and probably know the following already, but I'll point this out in case anyone reading isn't aware of CGC's practices: This is an example of CGC's signature series (yellow label) which means the signature, and in this case sketch, was witnessed by a CGC representative. Sig series books do not take the witnessed "writing" into account when grading. However, if the signature/sketch had been unwitnessed and the book was submitted for a Universal grade (blue label), the writing would be treated as a defect and the grade would be lowered accordingly. Personally I don't think the grade on the book really matters for sketch covers anyway, as they're all about the original artwork.
Yeah, I think he did a great job, especially considering the limitation of having to place one character on each book cover. It's also fun to see how the individual action taking place on each cover interacts with other covers, like Psylocke cutting off the hand about to blast Pixie. Or Domino knocking the sentinel off balance with a rifle shot so its beam narrowly misses the dodging Kitty.
Things that make you go mmmm... Now I feel compelled to make sure this happens. Maybe we can arrange something?
Thanks, Conny, and you would know nice! After all, you did the Domino in my avatar, another favorite in my collection. :)
Thanks, Scott! Incidentally, this cover was done as part of a 10-cover CGC opportunity and Gabriele completed all 10 painted covers in about 5 days. Most similar sketch cover opportunities takes several weeks, if not months, to complete. Blew me away that he can produce such high quality art in such a short time. He's a beast!
Thanks, Patrick. I've had a lot of nice comments from people who've seen this one, it seems to be one of those Ramos sketches that even non-fans can appreciate.
Really dig this one. Great composition for a wraparound sketch cover, too.
This one blew me away when I first saw it on Mann's Tumblr site. Maybe the best Harley "sketch" I've seen, her pose and expression is wonderful. Congrats on an awesome piece!
No, I haven't arranged for anything else yet, but maybe at some point. Are you waiting for more?
First Choi Pixie I've seen. Very, very nice!
Love this one. I was part of the same sketch opp and other than my own cover, I think this was my favorite of the lot.
