Some amazing stuff you gathered, man. Really.
I freaking love the Lemire Ninjak, I'm very happy that YOU have such an unique piece.

Harada is literally a badass.

Just take a look at the Mico Suayan sketch:

I would think that Bob Layton hasn't drawn Erica Pierce in 20+ years .. yet drew a perfect sketch of her. Pretty remarkable.

Nice job Hawk. You got an amazing collection of sketches. :thumb:

Pretty epic to get Bob Layton to do Erica Pierce. :thumb: :thumb:

He is one of my all time favourite classic comic book artists. I've been a fan since he was doing Iron Man in around the early #200's, and I spent years tracking down every issue of IM he was a part of prior to that :D

And I have to say Mico has easily become one of my all time favourite modern comic artists.

I need an opinion- Should I see if I could get Phillip Tan to go all the way with this cover, inks and colours? He's in Vancouver from the 18th to the 20th and once again my pal Roberto will be there, I may have a shot at getting it done :hm:

I'm kind of torn though because the pencils are so nice and tight I'm tempted to leave it like that so the work is visible.

Any thoughts from the group?

Hmm...I can see why you're torn. The pencils look great! I'd say keep it as is, but then again, it would also look good inked and colored. I guess I'm not much help to you, because I'm torn too. :P

Wow, I never even thought about getting a blank cover copy and then commissioning an artist...what a cool idea! And some of these covers are really nice! Hmm...
For my Valiant: Kindle Worlds stories, check out my amazon author central page, http://www.amazon.com/Richmond-West/e/B ... 204&sr=8-1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Sort by price low to high, and the Valiant Kindle Worlds stories will pop to the top. :)

I think I've got to leave it pencils, I just love looking at it. Phillip Tan's pencils are something special on their own.
