I posted this in the sketch cover thread, but figured I'd share it here as well. It's my first ever attempt at a comic cover, going to get in touch with CGC about registering as an artist tomorrow and take the leap into selling my art. Wish me luck

I like your style, and your signature is COOL! I'd register as a cgc artist and perhaps you might want to add on the back cover Sketch cover #1 and have them document it on the label too. I know of at least one artist that documents their sketch covers that way and I think it adds to the history of the piece especially if you really get into it. 

Thanks man, its the 1st time I put the teeth on my sig, thought it would be a cool little add-on. I put the "1" on the right side since it was my 1st comic cover, but its a great idea to label it on the back instead, hadn't heard/ thought of that before. Really appreciate the input!

cool cover, nice work! Wait till you can send it in as an artist and have it graded. If anyone makes you an offer you cant refuse take it, if not keep it!

Yeah I'm leaning towards the grading route, I'm going to email CGC tomorrow to inquire about the process. Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it!

Wanted your opinions on this guys. It's my first ever attempt at a sketch cover and I'm not sure if I should try to sell it as-is, get it graded first, or keep it since it's my first one ever. I still need to register with CGC as an artist before I can get it graded, fyi. Thoughts, comments, concerns? Is it terrible and I should kill it with fire instead? I need objective input friends.

It is a great deal you did good sketch

Thanks man, she does some really cool work for a very reasonable price. I'd highly recommend checking her out if you haven't already.

Unknown Comics is the name of the store. 

Lol, thanks man. I've been on a roll with Namtak today it seems, it's been a good bit of fun actually. Gave me a reason to return to the boards more often than usual.

Chibi X-23 by Anna Zhuo

Thats awesome! I see you're a fellow Unknown Comics live sale connoisseur. I have a chibi Harley Quinn from Anna coming on Monday, but I really love yours. The chopstick claws are priceless lol.

Finished up a couple more for fun. Now to finish @ivdyers Wolverine 

Really awesome job here man, A+

Honestly though I thought that depiction of Darkside was some kind of older/simpler rendition of Thanos, totally missed the actual Thanos directly below him. Plus Superman battling that x-men sentinel up top really distracted me.

You do know the difference between Thanos and Darkseid, right?

 

They're the same person, just smoke and mirrors, much like Killer Croc and Doctor Octopus.

Old school, but I like it. Are thanos and hulk holding hands btw?

Phoenix sketch that I did yesterday 

Saw a Ryan Kincaid piece and rather than buying it I took a shot at making my own. Feel like I did a better job with Harley than Venom though.

I am a huge fan of WandaVision, so I decided to draw her. Anyone else a fan of the show?

Awesome job. Yeah I'm on episode 4 of the show. Didnt care for the first few episodes but its growing on me.

A few recent compositions of mine, with mixed quality. Feel like I've made some decent progress since I started with markers/ paint pens a few months ago though. I'm up to around 2 dozen drawings with them so far.

thanks man- i use oil paint on canvas. i'm glad you like RDJ here, i had a really hard time with it. i used a combination of different reference photos and they were all smaller than i usually need in order to paint a good likeness. armor is easier! 

Impressive you got that out of oils, would've guessed digital or maybe acrylics. Yeah armor is waaayy easier. Our facial recognition is super acute compared to objects, you can get away with deviations in all kinds of stuff, but not faces. I doubt I could even trace RDJs face that well lol.

heres a painting i did last month. it's self explanatory, i hope- it was a commission for someone who really likes iron man. painting armor is easier than painting likenesses. 

 

Excellent work. What kind of paint did you use? Perfect rendition of Robert Downey Jr btw, getting portraits to be accurate is extremely difficult.

My friends and I started a weekly art competition on Instagram. Each week one of us picks a topic and we have to finish our submissions by midnight each Tuesday. This week is our 2nd outing, topic is Alice in Wonderland, I finished mine early and figured I'd share it with you all here.

Howdy all

Not comic art, but after a two year break, I started painting again.

Shameless plug if you want to follow my upcoming projects on Insta: mgilmourfineart 

 

Super impressive. Would've thought these were pictures if you hadn't said they were paintings. A+ work.

love to hear your thoughts!

Love the style, great color choices. Gives off a kinda Dali meets modern comics vibe. 

Some Pickle Rick goodness I did last week. Poor lighting when I took the pic, but you get the idea.
