Art Nichols commission arrives...

Post by sonicdan »

It's been a long time coming but after many phone calls, emails, delays etc. I got my commission from Art Nichols!
I am very pleased with the results...

That is great Dan. I love everything. Where did you get the idea to have these three characters put together in North Am?

Cool, it's an inked prelim of the Steel Nation TPB.
It only measures 7"x9" but the detail is amazing.
The details on all of them are breathtaking in person especially the larger paneled piece (my particular fave!).

Thanks, caxiotis. It's a crossover I always wanted to see!
Who knows? Maybe with Shooter & Dark Horse! :hope:

Wow! Great stuff. Shows he still can capture the "classic" VALIANT style. I really love the symmetry of this one. Great line work and design. Does he use a lot of Pro-White paint of these?

Thanks Chris! There's a few dabs here and there but remarkably not much considering the level of detail.

I keep looking at all of the detail and care he put into making these for you and Magnus. You can really see him putting in 110% to make things right for you two. Great job!

Wow, maybe he's into the whole 2012 Mayan thing and figured he better take care of this before we spin off into the sun.

Regardless, congrats on the resolution...and nice pieces to boot!
