I love the inking on this especially the backgrounds.•• There are no inks on the backgrounds, Jason! Thems is pure nekkid pencils. =================== Well that is even more intriguing. I love it! I figured it was just a different style there. See that is why I pay to have artwork done for me! =)

Or there could be complaints that you are selling "unfinished" commissions! So many possibilities here!

JB (in part): "Plus -- I wonder how you can tell which pages were done on the subway? And which by me, which by Duffy?"
I can't...and that's the point - the art on the whole story was...well, let's be kind and just call it sub-par. I'm not criticizing you guys, considering the conditions under which you produced the work. It's part of a learning process -- and you've certainly learned a heck of a lot from it, JB!
Didn't mean to piss you off, chief; please, enjoy the rest of the day! Sorry, and please don't hesitate to continue to share behind-the-scenes stuff on my account. I promise to behave better from now on.

This is a really nice commission. I love the execution of this. I might have to get me one of these new fancy toned commissions. Now who should I get? Decisions, decisions.

This could have been an illustration inside one of the men's mags of the 1960s, like "Stag." Very evocative of another era. Nice pull.

I hadn't said it before, but I really enjoy the textured look of this commission. It's almost like looking at a black & white photo of an action sequence.I agree Paul, it's going to be a tough decision. Ideas are percolating in my mind as well.

JB,
This is STUNNING. Truly. I am not usually a fan of commissions that use pencil shading, duo-tone or anything but the usual stark black inks on white paper, but as always your work changes minds.
Another thing, you are the only artist I know of that can sometimes make his work look like it was inked by somebody else... have you ever looked at a commission or comic book and felt that way?
Marc

very much like the duo-tone board JB used for some time for Namor / Omac, etc. in the early 90s
like it a lot
