It was one heckuva way to go out-- and Guardian was still one of my favorite characters in AF. That fight against Omega Flight was a really good one. Excellent commission, JB, and thanks for sharing!

It sure was a heck of a way to go. It certainly shocked me way back when.

That's exactly what I was going to say! The metallic reflections are much more detailed than any Box in the past. Guardian must have one of the coolest costumes in comics, too.

The metallic reflections are much more detailed than any Box in the past. **** [No small part of that is due to the dimensions of the piece. At these large sizes -- about 4 times the size of a comicbook page -- extra details must be included or there will be a lot of blank space. This is why, for instance (and as I have noted elsewhere), I tend to make the Thing's plates smaller, and therefore more of them, on the commission pieces. 20x30 means a lot of space to fill!!

John, I can't thank you enough, this is exactly what I was hoping for. Alpha Flight #11 was the first superhero comic (and the first time I'd been Byrne-d) I ever bought, and Guardian really stuck with me. I missed 12 and 13, and was stunned when my parents bought me 14 to find my new favorite character was dead. This commission will always be treasured!

And here I was just hoping to see A commission, even someone else's. I didn't think mine was next! Time to get to work and earn some money for the next one. I'm thinking Avengers...

Haven't seen you draw Alpha Flight in a long time, JB!
Any character you miss drawing?
-C!

It's interesting to see what different people think will make for a good commission. Of course with you handling the drawing, anything a person requests is bound to come out looking marvelous (regardless of comic company afiliation)! Thanks for sharing, JB!
