SquareChaos Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Every time I see a piece by Nick it just makes me want to get my own even more. I've missed out on his commission list twice now. That's an awesome piece, congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggy101us Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Thanks guys. I got it yesterday - 8/20 (Sat), sorry typo. Nick spent quite a lot of time on it. I was walking in the artist alley area and he spent an hour or so on it (on and off I am sure, but still a lot of time for a con sketch). The sketch is super detailed in person.

Immortal Hulk Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 East of West sketch by Nick Dragotta at StocktonCon on 8/20/2016. How much is it usually for him to sketch something so detailed like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immortal Hulk Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Welcome to the illustrious RRP club!! Awesome book! One of my favorites! Still waiting to join, but at 550 on ebay, feels way over what gpa is averaging... guess I'll have to just keep on patiently waiting. At least I got the Forbidden Variant Signature Series double signed at 9.9, I really think that cover is underrated, I love that you get to see the trio on the cover.

TXReplicant Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Did a boardie pick this one up? I sent an offer or two and debated every day until it disappeared! Nooooo! http://www.ebay.com/itm/East-of-West-4-signed-sketch-NICK-DRAGOTTA-CGC-SS-9-8-blank-variant-image-/142072538850?hash=item21142ee6e2%3Ag%3A-h4AAOSwhOdXn3N9&nma=true&si=hkr4hZxLiDcAQuBXA71Xhly%252Bgf0%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immortal Hulk Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 can anyone clarify who is on cover 3 and 4? Is that Xialian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the authority Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Yes. She was a major part of issue #4 and the woman who could make Death kneel. My favorite East of West cover is by far issue #15. When it first came out, I wondered why would they put a flower on the cover ? That cover versus the end pages of the same issue epitomizes EoW.

I wasn't sure if that was her, her sister, someone else, b/c in 3 or 4 there is no picture in the story that quite resembles those pictures on the covers, and the face I feel doesn't perfectly match hers. Espcially cover 4, it look like wires were coming out her head, and cover 3 looks like an older person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the authority Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Issue #29 was the issue that made me happier than every issue since Death and the Ranger met. Simply fantastic. If you haven't read the series, do NOT start here. So much building to get to this point. Haha ! EAST OF WEST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark Resilient Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Issue #29 was the issue that made me happier than every issue since Death and the Ranger met. Simply fantastic. If you haven't read the series, do NOT start here. So much building to get to this point. Haha ! EAST OF WEST I totally agree. It was a great moment, but I think there will be some treachery ahead, as usual. I don't think Balloon will like this new development too much.
