...to this.
I thought I'd make it an opportunity to do something more painterly instead of the traditional comic book cover. I looked up more about the series and there is a new villain for Wolverine called The Contagion. He is exactly what he sounds like: a walking hotbed of disease and viruses that can burn a man's face off with one drop of spit. That coupled with his intelligence over Wolverine could make an interesting adversary for Wolverine. I decided to have The Contagion lurking behind Wolverine, breathing or spewing some disease or virus making an ominous dark shadow across Wolverine's face. The competition ends near the end of this month, so go out and vote for mine if you're in the VCU area.Speaking of comics, I'm working on 9-page project with local Richmond writer Jared Throne, that will be finished pretty soon, so I'll be posting some updates on that as well.

This is pretty awesome. it's great that you went with a painterly style for the cover. I always get excited when I see a cover by Phil Hale or Ashley Wood, then I look inside and it's all done in a somewhat boring conventional comic style.
Yea, I agree. It is unfortunate that the interiors of comics can rarely match the covers that are meant to grab you. Granted, the artist would be doing double duty, but the aesthetic payoff is worth it. Both of those guys are two of my favorite artists by the way. They way they let the brushwork show is unbelievable. You should also check out Rick Berry who taught Phil Hale. Ridiculous!
Wow, that looks great.
Reminds me a lot of Frazier Irving.
CasinoGrande-Thanks! That's a HUGE compliment with that comparison and I take it humbly. Ever since seeing Irving's work on Grant Morrison's Batman and Robin, I was hooked! I wish he could have done the whole series. If not him, then Frank Quitely, of course.
