11" x 17" reimagining of the cover to Marvel Team-Up 62

The details are:

- include logo and corner box; please tweak the text in the corner box to indicate the Oct cover date and include the year (1977; this is the birth month/year of the commissioner).

- You can reduce text/logo size, or take out some of the text to make characters more prominent, whatever you feel works best

- Please draw Spider-Man as the most prominent character in foreground and predominantly front/full view

- Super-Skrull using all his FF powers - and 2nd most prominent character

- Ms. Marvel in the background - either on the way to help or defeated

- Background should be the cruise ship - but unlike the original cover, it should be clear enough to resemble a ship. (Perhaps have Spider-Man and Super Skrull battling in the sky so a bird's eye view of the ship is visible)

--- Actually started this one last weekend, but the rest of the week kind of got in the way of finishing it!

Nicely done, JB.

How come you don't draw the head shots in your own style?

Wow! Great cover. The angle of the image, the look on Ms. Marvel's face, the SpuerSkrull's face (which looks about a million times more menacing than in the original), everything is perfect.

I'm duplicating the original set-up as closely as I can.

Gorgeous.  I love how you reversed Spider-Man and Ms. Marvel's poses from the original.  I don't think I've seen your Carol in a commission before.  How many is she up to on the character count?

I like the switch of Spider-Man and Ms.Marvel from their original places.

The lighting on Ms. Marvel's hand and the way you drew the ocean water are nice touches.  Spider-Man and Super-Skrull look amazing.

I reckon this makes four appearances in commissions, once before in this costume.

Don't really care enough about the character to add her to the Count! (There! I said it!!)

We practically posted at the same time, William.  I'd call it a tie.

And I had forgotten that the character count is now posted.

Pretty much dictated by the customer's request that Spider-Man be more dominant in this image.
