This is the 26th "52 by 1" piece that I've done, which means... THIS IS THE HALF WAY POINT! I am now half way through the project. I know I'm off schedule by a lot but still, I'm very happy with myself and the fact that I made it this far. I may not finish by December 31st like I wanted to, but I will complete the project and being half way through feels great. I hope you have been enjoying the ride as much as I am.

Thanks for all your support, everyone!

Green Lantern #1 next, starting the final 26 cover countdown!

I know, I know, his messed up face and eye are on the WRONG side of his face, but I decided to not fix it. Hey, it's the NEW 52, maybe if I did the NEW 52, this side of his face is scarred, instead of the other side, lol.

Yeah, let's go with that excuse. Hope you like.

Firestorm #1 on Tuesday!

Really looking forward to the release of Talon #0 this Wednesday. I hope you all pick it up, it's a really good read! Here I took my Talon pin-up and gave it the cover treatment like I've been doing with my "52 by 1" pieces.

Looks dope, right?!

I got about six full pieces yet to post leading into New York Comic Con next month.

"52 by 1" pieces of All-Star Western #1, Firestorm #1, Green Lantern #1, and Demon Knights #1. I also have Sketch Attack Savage Dragon vs. Lobo to post, and finally Higher Earth #1 cover.

I'll be post all those as I finish them, and then it's a MAJOR marketing push to the #NYCC! More info to come on that, as I just about finish up preparations this week.

My Superboy #0 Cover Correction

Happy Friday Everyone!

Every so often I am asked by editors to do art corrections of a various nature on the covers to DC's books. I wanted to post one recent one, for the cover to Superboy #0. The editor came to me and asked if I could add in Superboy's foot. It looked a little awkward that if was not showing since he was supposed to be jumping out of the "ripped interiors".

I said "yes, I CAN!" LOL

So in the style of the original artist (in this case, the always AWESOME R.B. Silva), I drew a foot. I tried to match the art style of R.B., thinking, how would R.B. would have drawn this foot if he drew it. I then took a piece of paper, light-boxed over the cover image, and drew the foot so it matched in scale. I scanned in the foot, went to the color file of the cover, and dropped in the new foot. I then backed up the blacks, and colored the foot matching the color in the file. So not only do I match the artist but I also match the color and style of the colorist.

Below is the original solicited cover compared to the final revised color that now has the foot I drew and colored on it. I also posted the 'foot' drawing I used to patch it all from. Just another look at a small contribution the likes of which I do everyday at DC!
