Re: Post your new OA in your collection here!
I really like LaRosa's use of Copic Markers to cleanly blend shades to give dimension to each element (e.g. suit and sky).turbod16 wrote:you have some really great LaRosa pieces too DBS. I love how realistic that image is , the face is just amazing. Some of the details and highlighting in his suit are very well illustrated.
But the colors REALLY did me in, as the holy / spiritual combination of blues and whites are quite rare and did not exist in my collection. I wanted to buy sooner, but Christmas, two sets of braces for the family and both A&A covers set me back a bit. Very happy to have snagged it up.

Re: Post your new OA in your collection here!
Another awesome cover! When I posted this image on Instagram, it became one of the "most liked" images around that time. I try to predict which images will REALLY take off, but am often surprised (some are incredible, but receive little love...).
However, DIVINITY #2 is a case where good art gets its due. SWEET GRAB!

Re: Post your new OA in your collection here!
Picked up these trio of Clayton Henry pages, glad he was not going digital during his HW and Harbinger run.
First is the splash page from Harbinger 23, with Harada facing off against Pete in Pittsburgh
Second is the BIG battle between the Renegades and Harada. Where Toyo wipes the floor with them.
Last is a Harby War 1 page, Generation Zero's first appearance, with The Telic (Tara), Cronus (Christian), and Animalia (Monica Jim) escaping from the Project Rising Spirit compound.

Re: Post your new OA in your collection here!
Great pages as well Anthony ..... It's really cool to see just how clean Clayton's pencil work is. I guess a lot of artists are going digital now , I know most of Paolo Rivera's work on The Valiant is digital.

Re: Post your new OA in your collection here!
No kidding! I'm holding the A&A #9 & #10 covers right now and seriously, you don't really understand the quality of Clayton's work until you see it up-close and in person. The perspective is spot on, and the lines are smooth, crisp, and used only when/where needed.turbod16 wrote:It's really cool to see just how clean Clayton's pencil work is.
Honestly, (while I know it can't possibly be true) it looks as though there are litterally ZERO mistakes and/or re-work on these pages. Like he knew what he wanted, and just drew it. The FIRST TIME.

Re: Post your new OA in your collection here!
I looked at two of Mico's BS:R #1 covers this week, and likely would/will snag one up before long. I picked-up four LaRosa covers and two Henry covers this past month so, at least for now, I'm unable to get any of Mico's work.Beware Cyclops wrote:It might've been one of Mico Suayan's covers he was/is interested in.DirtbagSailor wrote:Well, LaRosa's NINJAK #2 is still available, and Mico Suayan has two BLOODSHOT: REBORN covers available through his art rep.lorddunlow wrote:I bet Doc Solar is upset...
