It's really been dead in here lately. Here's one I just got from CAFU. Unfortunately, he did the background on this one separately, and mostly digitally. However, I thought the figure alone was worth it.

Mike, it had to be you! Lol, I missed this cover by only a few hours once I spoke with CAFU. What I would recommend? Pay him more and get him to add in the background. Make it a commission.

The reason I say it, is because as a complete image it ranks at No. 4 (out of 1,080 posted images) of the most "Liked" and/or visually popular covers I have posted on the Valiant Universe Instagram Fan-Page (with nearly 1,000 likes and beating out Marguerite Sauvage's Ninjak #1 which won best cover for 2015). That alone make is worth both the money and also worth asking.

Just my two cents, either way it's a great piece.

Well, this certainly confirms my paranoia that if I don't jump on these things immediately someone else will swoop in an grab it. :)

As much as I'd love to have the complete image, I really prefer to leave my OA as-is. I once purchased the original pencils for a cover that had been digitally inked and colored, and the artist offered to ink it for a very reasonable price, but I knew the fact that they weren't the actual inks used in producing the cover would always nag at me just a little bit, so I declined.

True story! Usually if I see a cover I like, I'm reaching out to the artist that same day out of fear of the same paranoia.

Nice one. There was some serious bidding action on that one.

I was prepared to go higher if I had to. If you hadn't crushed me on that Harbinger cover last week I probably would have been cooling my jets this week :D I was willing to go to $2500 on that cover, but I didn't even bid when it got as high as it did.
This is a nice consolation prize I suppose. :lol: But in all seriousness, it being from the first one really means the world to me aside from it being one of the best pages from the issue.

Wow Dan. I'm actually surprised at that. Maybe real life Magnus has all of them. :P

No, I still miss a page from issue 1 (ink that is, got color pages). Glad to see this one went to a good home (and I agree with Steve).

I've been patiently biding my time, and I was finally able to pick up a nice Mico Suayan cover at a pretty reasonable price on EBay.

Awesome snag Mike :high-five: , wow you can't beat that price either :o
The face is so life like and has fantastic detail. Mico is very talented , his faces are second to none ! For his entire BSR run , the characters are so well modeled. I wonder if they are based on actual people and if so who they are.

I was only planning to get the Divinity II #1 cover from Phil Jimenez, but I really couldn't pass up the A&A #1.

I picked this one up at C2E2 2016. It was in the cheap pile and I couldn't resist.
Used in multiple previews. 1st appearance of young Colin King?

That's a nice one, Dan.

I already posted this one in the Valiant Art Collection Facebook group, but I guess I might as well post it here as well. Although it seems like it's basically the same group of folks in both places.

Love the choices for the coloring they did on that one. It really compliments the inks nicely.
