ReplyDeleteHoly shit, dude.
ReplyDeleteOh my god, this is gorgeous! This is already one of my favorite comic book covers ever
ReplyDeleteWow. This one got quite a response. Thanks for all the kind words, everyone!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, it's just ink on board, but with a little digital help. I'll detail the whole process in a future Wacky Reference Wednesday.
Looks like something out of Dante's Inferno. Wicked job.
ReplyDeleteThat's great work!
ReplyDeleteDorè`s style! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys!

Thanks, Stilos. Be sure to check out the time-lapse video of the cover. I just posted it: http://paolorivera.blogspot.com/2011/12/daredevil-10-time-lapse.html
ReplyDeleteThat is some gorgeous inking.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anonymous! It felt good to break out the brushes again. Can't let my Dad have all the fun.
ReplyDeleteCan you get this out as a poster? Best cover in years!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Marvel turned this into a big one, though I couldn't tell you where to get it. But there's one hanging up in the office.
DeleteSince this books release, this remains as one of my all time favorite comic book covers. I do have a question, can you name the art style? I've done some research but can't seem to find a name for it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Adam! I based it mainly off of Gustave Doré's work, most famous for his etchings of The Inferno.
DeleteFantastic thank you so much and keep up the great work!
