Your inking is very good, you should try some of your own line work, might be surprised what you could pull off.

Maybe look into a courier service? Honestly for 2k I'd just buy a ticket to Australia and take the book back as a carry-on. If I'm going to drop a couple grand I might as well get a brief vacation out of it. If traditional mail is your only feasible route then yes I'd imagine the insured and declared values would have to match. In the unfortunate event the book is damaged the shipper would dispute the insured value based on the declaration, and customs could drop the hammer on you for undervaluing your item in order to dodge VAT.

Dude I saw these a few months ago and was blown away, such amazing work, I wouldn't even know where to start in replicating that lol. Would love to have a piece like that on my wall.

Thanks man! I'm really leaning towards keeping it, just bc its my first. I actually have an idea for a ghost rider, just need to get a blank for it. Whenever I get around to doing it I'll post it here first so you can see if you like it!

Thanks! I was hoping no one would choose the fire option I just started drawing seriously about 6 months ago, the pandemic left me with very little to do at work so I started doing little batman and venom sketches when I was bored and its just kinda progressed from there.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Not sure who this old guy is but I drew him anyway

Lol, I know, it was a joke this time. I was hoping someone would take it seriously though, so thank you for that 😃

This just came in today, by Anna Zhuo from an Unknown Comics live sale back in November. Not bad for $145 graded/ shipped. Apparently they ran out of Spider Gwen blanks so thats why its on an Amazing Fnatasy 15.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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