Catching up: Superhero wedding

Between getting sick (twice), and having to move (like, QUICKLY.  Moving an entire house ASAP...) I have been an exhausted person.  Just chugging along, doing the day-job and hoping to make it from paycheck to paycheck.  My "Daily Drawing" challenge for 2012 has failed, I plan to pick that back up again at some point, save some artistic face...

There has been one pretty damned good piece of art that I was able to complete.  And it's not just my work, it was a grand collaborative effort between myself and two other members of the League of Extremely Ordinary Gentlemen... to celebrate LEOG's Cat & Harris gettin hitched!

I came up with the idea, and penciled the piece.  


Above: My sketches and pencil chicken-scratch

I hoped to be able to do more work on the penciling, but mercifully Spill.com Artist/Animator and LEOG member Peter "Fungusmonkey" cleaned up my pencil-lines (fixed a few things) and did a damn good job inking the piece...

 Peter a.k.a "Fungusmonkey" on Spill totally killed it with the inks.  With extra Kirby flavor!
 
LEOG's very own Leon did a fantastic job coloring the piece...
 Okay, tell me that this doesn't completely blow your mind?  Leon of Spill.com, ladies and gentlemen...

And I got it back and added all the Logos, cover elements and got the whole package together.  


Sketches and completed work, to be used for the completed cover...

And with some Illustrator work... the completed cover.  How about that?  Damn. I'm proud of everything I put in it, but I'm most proud of the fact that the three of us all used our strengths and collaborated to make something that is greater than the sum of each of our skillset. 
Peter, Leon, I raise my glass. Damn good work!  

...We should totally do another one... :D
