Wanted to give a special shout out to John Becaro's newest piece. This artist has really been improving his craft this year 
.
That is truly epic in its beauty. Nike IX never looked so regal.

Fabulous (and the Becaro piece really is gorgeous). Nike is one of my favorite characters. Great organization! ANd so many lovely pieces of art.

Those are all VERY cool! Wonderful collection.
Thank you . I'm still no match for some of the art fiend legends around here, but it's neat to see them all in one (well 2) place(s). I had another thread but I broke most of the links reorganizing. I'll update here as new stuff comes in. I subscribe on and off, so it'll be good having links to the gallery that work even if I can't post when a new piece arrives.

I had to tell him that if Nike had a comic, that would so be the cover of issue #1. That piece totally stands up to major publisher cover standards. He sent me a 11x17 file at 250 dpi(!!) so I'm looking forward to printing up a poster to go on my display wall in my office.

I've been very fortunate - a lot of artists have really dug in and given their best effort when working on her.

There is a bit of a snowball effect. Artists regularly look it over and really search for that unique pose or twist that will add something new. Having a Terry Dodson piece up front definitely gets some artists I've spoken to since San Diego cracking their knuckles for the big showdown. [u]All[u] of the other artists at the SDCC demanded I bring it by for them to look at once they were done with theirs .
very nice piece by John. very cover or pinupy. I agree he is getting a bit better. Getting easier to work with as well, regarding redos on initial commissions that didn't quite turn out as wwell as expected.

The figures are much the same as a year ago. Maybe a little more confident there. Where he's really comming along is coloring of figures - he's inking with coloring in mind now rather than it being two seperate process for him.

While I haven't run into problems with him personally, it's good to hear from those that have. It's important to be able to recover gracefuly when something goes awry.
Another piece comming along .
Anime style!
Woohoo. New arts!

that's pretty slick in color, the power effects and layered clothing really stand out.

Because cute should be a power pool.
I always like ASchell's work, and Nike does look pretty cute. In a dangerous way

*squeals* How cute is that with the birds?
And the other one is just great. Love the wings and the angle.
I can't stand seeing so much awesomeness! *plotzes*
