Ok, I had this typed out after the last one and I deleted it, because who am I, an art critic?

But after this one, I just gotta say it--I think he's better at drawing the settings and trappings of the scene than he is at drawing Vampi herself.

And I don't say that because she looks bad in this pic--in fact, she looks as good here as she ever has--but that background is uh. MAY. Zing.

The skulls and brickwork in the last one were amazing too--but I thought Vampi's facial expression was a little weird.  And there was something weird about her butt in the triple sketch on the previous page, especially in her last image.

But man, he's mastered pencil textures for those backgrounds!

What's wrong with it?

This might get me banned, but I'd take an Enric gal over one of Frazetta's any day. Frazetta women scare me. There, I said it. :sumo:... :bigsmile:

Seems like her butt is "taller" in the third pic than in the first, was what caught my eye.

Like the "cheek curve" from thong to cheek bottom is about half the distance in pic 1 as it is in pic 3.

Enric painted several exceptional Vampirella covers that do not include the Drakulonian at all. The #35 cover has always been intriguing with the evidence of what has happened all there for you to see, as she beckons you, you’re compelled, but nervous about her intentions. The great image makes you need to know more. I commissioned this pencil recreation some years ago.

So do you prefer the “clenched or unclenched” mode?  :juggle:

Heh, guess I never really considered muscle tension...  Do you think that's the difference in the sketches?  She's holding in a stinky in the third one?

So impressed with all of these. Just curious- since I have zero knowledge in this area- did you reach out to the artist? Was there a way to “order” such sketches? Won by auction?

While I do enjoy Sanjulian‘a work overall, the truth is, I’m not wild about this one. I had ordered another piece and this one was sent instead. Long story short, I have it. However, I have included it as someone else may like it more, eye of the beholder and all.

 Enric for sale

I hope they get it. Stevey Boy would be sitting on a fortune

That’s an odd one. I remember that selling in the Heritage European auction for a triple record price, which was odd as it wasn’t a published piece. Then it’s been out there for sale almost since it was purchased at a price that probably won’t be attainable for awhile, but I guess who knows.

Today’s piece will wrap it up until I have new Spanish art pieces to share. I have pictures of a couple of others up that I traded, but I’m going to leave those out for anyone else who has them now might want to share the images. My collection pales by comparison to many others out there. 
 

This piece is right up there among my favorites, and some days, the top of the list. I hope Darkga might want to pick up from here, as I know he’s got some great Spanish pieces.

You rang? :shiftyeyes: I have a few things I posted in other threads, but I can post them over here too just in case. Let me see...

Here is one I have posted elsewhere, but I will share again here. It is the Enric painted cover to Creepy #12 (Spanish version) from March 1980. This was also recently featured in the new Enric artbook too! Enric reportedly said this was not Vampirella, but in person, you can see paint corrections made to the bang and earring area. My personal theory was this was meant to be a Vampirella cover, but then was repurposed for Creepy. hm

Fantastic piece, and a classic Enric image. When I see this piece it always seems so familiar, as though he may have done something else with that reference photo, or maybe published as a paperback or some other media in the US. Thanks for the added info on the paint over areas, that makes good sense. :luhv:
