sketch cards

[darkartlover]

been collecting sketch cards for a while now ( biggest pieces of art i can afford lately...lol). several really good artist sell on ebay from time to time. one that I've gotten several cards from over the last few years opened his own site , Javier Gonzalez and was running specials on commissions so i asked if he would do me some Frazetta tribute pieces and boy did he. I'm amazed by anyone that can put this much into a piece of art the size of a baseball card. here's links to 2 of the 4 he did for me that he posted on his site. one's on his home board and the others in the gallery. sites.google.com/site/blackhiltstudios/home
click and the art and it will enlarge.

Pretty sweet. That one in the gallery is really awesome. The work is so accurate though that he's gotta be using some kind of tracing or transfer technique and then coloring over it. Not faulting him (I do the same thing for portraits), just saying he can probably whip these out fairly quickly with such a process.
