This probably could have gone in the "This week in your collection" thread, but I was just too stoked about this one. It's my first Al Rio piece and it has my favorite mutants on it. According to Al's rep Terry this page was done as a portfolio piece for Marvels file on Al Rio.

 

The question now is if I should get it inked? confused-smiley-013.gif

Only if you can get it inked by Al himself!

I'd get some blue lines made from it and then get those inked. This way you have 2 pieces of art. The original pencils and an inked version. You can't go wrong with that.

 

This was my first thought as well. It would suck to ruin a nice piece if the inks don't work out.

Thanks to everyone so far. I've already contacted Terry (Al's rep) about inking the piece. I've also requested quotes from Tom Smith (colorist - He colored comix4fun's sweet Bolland "Joker" commission) and Thomas Mason (Al's preferred colorist) about having a colored piece done for it.

 

Unfortunately I'm not as fantastically wealthy a person as KK so cost is a factor for me. Even so... this page has grabbed me and I'm willing to put out the money to see how it looks both inked and colored. Hopefully I won't have to wait long to put up "upgraded" pieces.

 

I am hoping to have a custome frame job where I can have the progression of the page done (pencil, ink, color). Cold be fun.

Al Rio has offered to do an inked version of this, but since there are so many characters I think it was more than Apotheosis expected.

Yes, he's kind of pricey - but worth it. He inks his own art better than anyone else.
