THE 2020 SKETCH COVER MEGA THREAD
14 14

1,163 posts in this topic

So amazing spiderman 850 came out this week. And I am a bit disappointed the blank variant wasn't the usual card stock material most blanks are and it's glossy type of paper. Which I heard from folks is a lot harder to do sketches on. My question what best type of work to get done on glossy type of blank cover.

All depends on what artist will take the time to work on that type of cover and I’m sure the medium they choose.  I know Ash will paint the entire front and back and then lay down the commission if the paper quality is poor but that is just one single artist. I have had many other artists simply tell me they will not work on glossy/poor paper quality books. It is for that reason alone that you will see many of the books I have posted here with titles that don’t match the commission. It does not bother me but to others it might. I am simply choosing covers with the best paper.

Ya I was planning to get a goblin piece on it by Alex saviuk. But I told him it wasnt the usual card stock material and was glossy which he doesn't like to work with. So from the artists here or folks more in the known. What pencils/pens/paint better on the glossy blanks vs the usual card stock ones.

Two commissions off to CGC for signings! Beta Ray Bill is getting signed by it's creator Walt Simonson and Wolverine getting signed by it's co-creator Roy Thomas! So cool for them to sign over my art.

This was a Tony Sklepic 9.6 that Ash added to for the grade bump...any guesses on the actor we chose for Robin in back?

That is EXACTLY how I remember ZOD!! :headbang: such a classic sequence and memorable!!! ^^ 

AND that Robin king is eeire, but is exactly how I picture the character, I like it's design in comics or it's rendition better than of what they thought for the Batman who laughs, but together I guess the do "make sense" in a way

BOTH you're Robin and BWL are well done, but that ZOD though :x
