It's not exactly a Bayani piece, but it is Bayani's sidekick. Here's a finished piece of Mae-Day. Pencils by Dan Schoening, Inks by Diana Greenhalgh, and colors by Sara Richard. It's the first time Sara's colored someone else's work. Sara's an extremely skilled painter and sculptor who is available for commission work, so if you're like me and prefer to own original art that's non-digital, give her a ring and tell her I sent you. You can check out more of her art at http://www.sararichard.com/. She's got some really nice prints available too. 50% of the proceeds from her newest print 1.21 Gigawatts?! are donated to The Michael J. Fox Parkinson's Research Foundation.

I think that's a stand-out Mae-Day piece. I just LOVE the texturing. For her first time out with coloring someone else's work, Sara knocked it out of the park!
That Lilly/Purcell Planet Girl is very striking... exceptional on many levels.
Oh and I'm glad you guys are consolidating it will make it easier to keep up with all the great art you guys pull. 
The character is dang cute, and I love how the skyscrapers are pullin' for her

Arc: Coming Soon: The Incarnate Shadow Shard of Fire and Ice Mender Rednem needs you!

Love 'em all but I think the one with the giant robot head is by personal favorite.
Great stuff as always, but yeah - that Schoening piece stands out to me as well.
It's an old piece and there is a colored version floating around somewhere but I didn't really like it. I scanned the original and made a copy for Bob Almond to ink over. It looks much much better now (especially since the original didn't have the tiger stripes drawn in and it was later added in during the colors stage, which kinda looked weak). Original was shipped off to Rowr and I kept the inked copy for myself.

So the last of the Rogues' Gallery pieces is finally done, about a year and a half or so after I began the project. This final piece features Massacre Melanie, whose submission was the most well-thought out of the group. It was difficult to get this done. The first two artists I picked out flaked. The third artist did not live up to expectations (Original "Final") and I wasn't about to have him start revising. After some attempts at fixes by Eddy, I ended up having half the page re-drawn by a Ryan Odagawa (New Linework). Eddy did the background and added it the tonfa at my request. So now it's a suitable match with the other pieces in the theme.
That piece was a long time in coming. But I think it was worth all the effort you had to put in to get it done right =)
Mel's just bad luck. It's what she gets for always wanting to kill everyone. :3
The end result was totally worth the effort. I love the reflection in the mirror, it's subtle but well done. Eddy really did some bangup work on it.

That last one looks gorgeous!
I agree Saphi. Gorgeous. The lines, the colors... the details.

Looks pretty good. took me awhile to figure out what was in bay's hand, then I read your post. And then I had to remember what a tonfa was...no fair using weird words this early in the morning!

Thought this was posted already. Anyways, I took two Sanchez busts I had commissioned, got them inked by Sorah and then combined/colored by Eddy, with the addition of that split-screen divider effect you'd see in a snazzy cartoon. Given Sanchez's style, I thought it'd be fitting.

Pre-Otakon commission drawn by Jeffrey Cruz, aka Chamba of Udon Comics.
Great pieces of work! I particularly like the way you do your shading, and your drawing style perfectly matches the super hero genre!
Well...Bayani is a collector, so all of these are drawn by other artists. He's very good at picking out artists to match the pieces he wants though!
Yes, a very knowledgeable and experienced collector of an commissioner of art. I believe he even does some agency for the artists he works with.
Check out the guide/article/posts he's written about how to commission art and collect it - he'll tell you how to get the most out of an artist, so you'll receive a picture you love.
And, for the Artists, those same guides may help you to get what you need from a commissioner - so you can turn out art you'll be proud of.
Be Well!

Just decided to put future Bayani and Planet Girl art into one thread moving forward. Here are a few new pieces that Planet Girl added to her collection over the past several weeks, plus one piece that's about to be inked. Clicking on the images will send you to the higher resolution versions on dA. More art to come soon by David Nakayama, Eric Vedder, Wassy, Joe Dellagatta, Daenji Summers, and David Nakayama.
Planet Girl vs. Winter Lord (Alan Kupperberg)
Planet Girl (Dean Zachary)
Planet Girl (Mike Lilly/Jack Purcell)
Bayani & Planet Girl Team-Up (Ardian Syaf)
Also, here's a sneak preview of the title page for the upcoming Bayani hardcover collection book "Bayani By Trade". Title splash was designed by Frost, with art by David Nakayama and Eddy Swan. This piece was actually the first commission I ever collected from Bayani.
