Project: Marvel Value Stamp

[wormboy]

SO Cool!

[DiceX]

Damn, Jeff! It's come a long way since I last saw it. It's turning out to be a killer piece. I agree, this is the best concept for convention sketches I've ever heard of. You rule!

You can thank Jeff for the "sketch card" craze that you see now at cons. (thumbs u

[Mac Man]

I would still really like to see something done with this (as per my previous posting). Such a creative project should be shared!

When I started this about 3 years ago most of the artists had not done anything like it aside from being part of a jam piece. No one charged and they all looked at me like I was nuts when I offered to pay.

 

Fast forward to the last year or so. "Oh yeah, a sketch card, I do those all the time. That's $20!" In fact one artist (who's name shall not be mentioned) offered to do the Warriors Three for a mere $100.

Come on... I'll say who it is. You can be damn sure he doesn't come on here!

Are you coming to Baltimore? You should be able to get it done there, everybody is coming.

[Stronguy]

Yeah -- I'm coming. There are only a few people there, who sketch, that I don't have. However, I only have 12 to go so I should be able to add some really primo pieces.

[spoonerism]

This is great -- I'm adding the topic to my watch list.

[JBerg]

really a great, unique project

[joe_collector]

It's shaping up very nice, but I'm a bit surprised at some of the ones left, like Man-Wolf and Black Knight, but I think it's safe to assume that either Plunderer or Byrrah will be the last one.

[Stronguy]

Try to find decent reference on those two... sheesh!

 

In the beginning I though Puppet Master would be the last one... nothing exciting about him. But just look at what EVS did.

C'mon on. What else does Adam draw? He's got a great since of humor. I'm pleased.

[Scrooge]

(worship) I love it every time you show this and progress on it.

 

I hate to ask ... but what character is that next to the Mandarin on the right?

Why that's Arthur Suydam's $20 masterpiece, Golem. meh . Go back a few pages and it's discussed.

[DiceX]

Wow! I can't believe you're almost finished.

Some of them are fantastic!

 

Who did the Ghost Rider?
