Nino_013 Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 I wouldnt have had the balls to touch the Leinil sketch, but it came up all right. Ash did a good job of not 'overpowering' it. That Winter Soldier piece looks great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond the outlying color the Lenil sketch was untouched. The major addition was the back and I chose to do that to cover existing marks that resulted in the original sketch being graded a 9.6. Now with additional art and color it is a 9.8. For me it was a calculated risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad-dogz Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Thanks! Been lurking since the new boards came online but wasn't ready to jump on in yet. Seen so many changes since I started here, some good and some not. All in all I still love the hobby so here I am.

I too, am looking for the right artist and sketch to add to some of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too, am looking for the right artist and sketch to add to some of these. That is why I try to get double covers when finances allow or will try to get the same artist/related artist to cover. With me lately its been just too damn economical to get Ash to do it and I trust him with my books. I certainly get the argument that he is unknown and may devalue the work of a known artist but its my book and can do with it what I please. I would argue that I have increased value to the piece. For example I bought the Lenil Daredevil piece off the boards at a 9.6, it went through several price drops solely based upon the grade. I paid little to add the artwork and color to the piece and now its a 9.8 and have four different PM asking if I would sell it and two with offers well over what I paid for the 9.6.......I am not selling it but it stands to reason that I was correct in my assessment. I caught hell at ECC two years ago for letting Alex Sinclair color my Mignola Hellboy sketch......like I colored over a Picasso. It came out beautiful but by many that was an act of sacrilege. I get the purists and I have many pieces that will remain quite simple but some I want to enhance the way I choose......I am not flipping books......just love the hobby. I know I am preaching to the choir with you. Ron C., Joshua Uth and Robert_L 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
