Jeremy,

is the published version of the ps2 a line for line match to the inked version that sold?   Or were the initial pencils digitally inked for the game and then the pencils reinked as a private commission or something?

Going over it, it looks like the inks don't match the game cover. So now I am curious what it was inked for.

If it was a non-OA collector crossing over it might make sense. They may not realize (and thus not care about ) the impact of the post publication alterations. 

No doubt they should've inked a blue line, but at the end of the day, it's still a published venom cover.

This was surprising to me. It sold on HA in the last few years for about 4k(?) but was not properly described as being inked after publication. The buyer canceled the sale after he learned that.

I think the price is okay given it is the special version cover of Ultimate Spider-Man for PS2. Many video game art collectors would be happy to have a Spidey game cover in their collections.

Hi, Alex

We don't have USPS here in the Great White North so its not an option for me, unless I drive 1.5 hrs to cross into the US.

Wouldn't a higher level of Canada Post shipping service transfer to some kind of priority USPS package when it crosses the border? Just curious.

And don't forget, there are comic book artists represented including a Jim Lee piece with Batman characters, Frank Cirocco pieces (who just had a page from Alien Legion 1 sell in the last comic art sale), Ken Macklin pieces (who did some Critters and Albedo covers), A Glenn Fabry (well known for his Preacher and Hellblazer work), a Kent Williams, etc.   

I hear there is a video with a handsome man named Jeremy on youtube about it also  

 

 

My strategy was to thirst trap potential bidders.

Heritage is having a special original video game art section with a live auctioneer this Friday (Jan 20, 2023). There are some awesome, historically significant pieces and also a wide range of entry-to-mid level pieces. Check it out!

nice youtube video on teh subject

 

 

I love this video, but I'm extremely biased 

.

One of my early goals when I got into video game art collecting was getting video game works by Julie Bell and Boris Vallejo. Fairly early on, I snagged a cover to an unreleased SNES game by Julie (Arcus Odyssey) and later acquired the Boris (Onslaught) a year later from a fellow collector. 

Since we're on a Sonic kick, here's my fav!

There're lots of fantastic posts of original artwork to look back on and enjoy, that's for sure!

Great piece, Jeremy.     Sass looks like your uncle.   Same height, similar glasses, etc.

He totally does!

I definitely don’t want to hijack the thread, but I figured you’d appreciate these. First panel appearance of Revan, Malak, and Bastila Shan from Star Wars Tales 23  

 

Those pages are great! Love the ink wash style painting.

I definitely have fond memories of KOTOR and Mass Effect!

Framed a few months ago, but one of my favourites from my original video game art collection.

I think there's an interesting parallel here with Pokemon cards when compared to NES collecting. The base set Pokemon cards have lots of variants, which I think helps to drive the price moreso than the later sets: 1st Edition thick/thin stamp (all 1st editions are shadowless and I believe thick stamp was first), unlimited edition shadowless variant (quite rare), unlimited edition with shadow (most common). Then there are also ghost stamps, which are kinda neat.

Very happy to have this piece! The real question is, can I afford more?! 

I figured this thread could use a little bump!

I acquired a piece that takes me right back to the turn of the century. I became a huge Resident Evil fan back in middle school (my first introduction being Resident Evil 2 on the N64 in 1999). I read the entire book series by S.D. Perry many times over and was thrilled to recently acquire the only traditionally created cover art for the book series and one of the handful of actual paintings for the whole franchise. The art is by Steve Gardner for Capcom/Pocket Books.

So many great covers! Even the unpublished or alternate ones (biased).
