When a piece you own becomes a cover! 2 2

I know there was a thread on this a long time ago, but I can’t find it.

I wanted to share that a Rob Liefeld sketch I bought two years ago from Glen Brunswick (on their dealer YouTube show) is going to be a variant cover on an upcoming issue of Uncanny Avengers 

I'm very excited!!!

Nice, but if it's a Liefeld, Cap's chest needs to be of gigantic proportions!

Cap's shield looks a bit wonky, though the feet are showing signs of improvement  ;)

How exactly does this work?  Presuming you had the OA before they decided to make it a cover, where are they sourcing the image from?  Does Rob (and every artist) take high res scans of all their work prior to sending it out so they can use it as cover art?  Additionally, how do you know yours is the original art the image is coming from?  I mean, asides from the obvious that everything looks the same, but don't artists also do rough preliminary sketches?  For example, this unpublished cover looks very similar to the actual cover used, yet, it isn't.

I know Rob draws it out on paper then copies it to blue line and does all additional work (inks, color, effects, etc) on the copy.

so these pencils are the only pencils done for the cover.

I assume he had the copy on file and submitted it as a variant but not 100% sure how that all played out

 

( when I got it, I posted about it on social media and Rob chimed in.  Said he really liked how it turned out, the powers that be went in a different direction.  So I think he had it ready to go if another opportunity were to ever come up)

I also posted the update, that it was going to be a cover, on the social media page, and Rob himself gave it a thumbs up.  I suspect if I was wrong he would’ve corrected me
