Here is an elaborate con sketch done at last year's Angouleme comics
festival. A French fan--Xavier, probably Gabrielle Dell'Otto (Secret War,
Batman:Europa) biggest fan and supporter got Gabe and I to each pencil on
the same piece of paper. I sketched out Zealot on the left, and Gd8 did
Grifter.
Gabe then painted both figures to create a stunning, unique image which
hopefully will be the first of many other images we create together...once
he gets his business squared away on Secret War. And he did it fast...that
kid is talented.
Here is a bigger shot here.

saw this at flickr before it was finally posted to the blog. think GDO really did a great job painting on this one (possible a better match to your linework than mr ross?). makes the wait for the long delayed secret war #4 bearable seeing stuff like this.
i gotta remember to get sketches in 1 piece of paper for more interaction instead of the usual one-offs. they really look so much better! now if i can only find cons in manila with enough artists. heh!
looking at the detail, i guess there are less fans lining up for sketches? otherwise, you guys can't do the level of detail expected from euro cons. am i right?
thanks for always sharing these with your fans, jim!
i say...this is one good piece.
Wow... absolutely awesome.
If you don't mind me asking, Jim, how were the white highlights done?

Siete due zozzoni! Ma vi pare??
Poor kids.. even if what they say it's absolutely true.
-I say this, but... the art is so cool, I really dont' mind the baloons!-
Oh, btw, just read the first issue of secret war. Wow!
Wow!! I understand more and more why the work of Gabe is quite impressive!!!...thanks for sharing it Jim..have a great day!!!..JESUS ANTONIO
Si,in effetti Zealot è un po' una figa di legno :) ...
Are acrylic colours???
xavier, I wonder.... do you know what jim wrote on the sketch? ^^;;;
I'm pretty sure GRifter says--Hey Grifter, small women like to hibernate in dank caves...to which Grifter replies, hey one who talks a lot doesn't buy a lot of trumpets.
