Wonder Woman: The Golden Age, Volume 3
SO when I emailed Mark Chiarello and suggested I be assigned some GA collection covers, I didn't really think it'd happen- I was just certain it *wouldn't* if I didn't say something. And look, here's Wonder Woman on a saber-tooth tiger! Always speak up if you want to do something, that's what I say.
There were other sketches, but the tiger (from WW #9, fyi) was the obvious choice. Here's the lot, plus final inks at the bottom. I'm mostly all-digital these days, but the final was done on 13 x 19" Strathmore 500, with as much brush and actual metal nib as possible, because H.G. Peter had no Microns. Photoshop colors, though :)
Huge thanks to Mark, Alex Galer, and anyone else that signed off on this. I've never had more fun drawing anything, ever.

Thanks for posting the Meskin story, Sandy. By the way, are you any relation to the late poet Randall Jarrell?
ReplyDeleteI'm not. But my mom took a class he was teaching when she attended the Woman's College in Greensboro around 1960 :)
ReplyDeleteHappy to share the Vig, Thanks for looking.
