The brush strokes are remarkable, the rendering you've put together is truly astonishing, but given the placement of her right hand, I can't help but jump to the conclusion that she's touching herself at thought of Spider-Man. I highly doubt thats what you intended, and who knows maybe its just me, but I was just a little creeped out at that idea and found it distracting from the piece as a whole.

I don't seem to fav as much as I should, but this one really caught my eye. I love the subtlety of the ink-wash/watercolor. Amazing execution here Mike!

Excellent! I was hoping to see another MJ sketch from you; I'm always picky about how she's portrayed, but you always pull it off splendidly with her. I'm eager to view a colored version.

I have no crit beyond beautiful, how long did it take for you to do this? And did you have to run some tests/warm-ups before committing to the final piece?

took about a day. Did a prelim sketch in pencil. Had some photo ref from a abandoned Vampirella cover idea.

did you do your prelim on different paper..or everything on strathmore?

a lot of my prelims are on typing paper. Except for painted prelims which are on the same 140lb watercolor paper I paint on.

So very lovely. Satin is a tough fabric to render and you've done so wonderfully, with a minimalist flare. Gorgeous.
