Thanks, guys! I'm really happy with em, and was excited to share 'em with the board.

I plan to get him to redraw the EW sketch at the next NC Comicon on an Eternal Warrior blank (assuming they've released one by then).

If anyone wants this one (on a Harbinger blank) for $80 once that happens, just let me know! That's the cost of the commission, I'm throwing the book in free.

You, sir, win at the commission game. Time to step my game up. Hopefully RDLT will get some free time to do a commission for me!

Those are seriously the coolest ever!

Hey Bobby, they're all posted, just scan the previous part of the thread. I only commissioned eight covers, so far :-)

Thank you ALL for the kind words. I loved Bernard's work on VH1 and it was special to get him to do these for me. I didn't even know they were bringing "UNITY" back when we first kicked this off in 2012. Imagine my excitement when I heard Unity was coming out and there'd be blank covers that I could use for Magnus and Solar! It all just fell into place really nicely :-)

Thanks. I'm happy to share! I was really excited to finally be able to show these. I saw all of them laid out in pencil and a couple were inked in November. I've been dying since then to get them all done and in hand.

Now I just need to find a worthy frame :-)

Does anyone on here have access to a large format printer? If I scanned these and made a poster out if it, could anyone on here print for it relatively cheap?

Saw Valiant's Facebook post of this the other day. Spectacular commission, sooo cool Carson!!
:thumb: :clap:

I think RAI might be my favourite of these, nice touch & good thinking to put him in on the Bloodshot sketch cover :thumb:

These look amazing! I particularly like that light gray wash used to make the white of the characters pop. Great commission! :clap:

Awesome commission! Especially Love the use of the sketch covers for each title!


...So,
when is your next Miller-inspired recreation coming, with the August 1992 covers? :hm:
