Description Oh, man, oh man! Well, I have to say, more than any other artist I admire, Keu Cha is THE reason I am addicted to comics. And before I go on, check out his stuff: [link]

Anyway, I remember, I was about 14 or 15 and me and my bro where at a newsstand and he happened on the comics rack. To this point, I'd only had a fleeting knowledge of the printed funny books. He grabbed a copy of Witchblade #40 (because Sara's tits were perfection!) and showed it to me -- I was hooked. (You can check out the issue here: [link] )

Since then, I've graduated to various different characters and titles, but I've never forgotten that book or Keu's art for making me have a purpose in life.

I hope you guys dig!

The style of the drawing is very reminiscent of something Julie Bell or Boris Vallejo would do. The colors you've added are very well done.

I've never been a big fan of TopCow comics (they've always seemed to be more about style than substance), but they have had a lot of cool concept characters and some good artists.

Cha is one of the best they've had. Beautiful drawing and wonderful colouring on your part.

Thanks so much and for the fav!! And I agree Top Cow does some... odd things regarding their books, characters and artists for that matter.

I strongly dislike Top Cow, Turner's work, Aspen etc. - your coloring, however, rules!

ya know... i've never read a Witchblade story in my life... but i've seen a ton of pic of her on dA and this stands out as one of the best interpretations i've ever seen. very unique and beautifully composed.

This is actually Fathom, who used to belong to Top Cow, but now resides with her creator Michal Turner. But, yes, this is a fantastic drawing and I was glad to be able to color it. And thanks for the fav!!

Wytherwing In reply to StephenSchaffer [2007-09-22 13:34:33 +0000 UTC]

lol!! now i'm totally confused... never heard of Fathom before but i've been out of the comicbook scene a long time... doesn't really matter though cuz it's still a rockin' pic. and you're very welcome bro.

StephenSchaffer In reply to Wytherwing [2007-09-22 13:38:39 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much!! Briefly, Witchblade controls some kind of cosmic-type power with her gauntlet and Fathom controls everything related to water -- but they are similar, as is most Top Cow stuff!

It's funny.. A witchblade comic is what got me into really trying to improve my art. Sure it's often got T &A and cheese cake galore but the WitchBlade stories have always been good, and the art! My gods, I'll never forget opening a witchblade comic and going "Oh geeze... I want to draw like that!"

Yeah, although, Top Cow isn't always my favorite publisher, between late books and 10,000 people on one book with zero consistency from page to page... But they did get me into comics
