I've got a couple of things in the works to build my Bane art collection. I picked this up off eBay. As I can't see myself getting lucky enough to get a Jim Balent Bane sketch cover, this will have to do for now.

I love theme commissions. There are some awesome ones "out there."

 

I'd love to see a printed art book for some of these. Sort of like what the 3-Minute Sketchbook Michael Finn did with Hero Initiative a few years ago. Excellent book, you should try to find a copy.

 

That is an outstanding list, Alex! :applause:

 

I'm particularly fond of this one and this one, too , unfortunately they weren't around when your list was made. :shy:

Several Boardies, lead by USArmyParatrooper, got together and, as an incredibly generous thanks for helping them out with some way overdue sketch covers & commissions, pitched in to get this commission for me. :whatthe: How freakin' awesome is that???

 

Anyway, it arrived today, and I just wish they could all have gotten a chance to see it in person, it's pretty amazing.

 

So, Sean and everyone else who pitched in, THANKS TONS, I LOVE IT!! I really can't express how nice this was, it's had me in a good mood all day long. :whee:

Do we not have the best Boardies in the whole world here? :banana:

Ignorance is less than blissful-how the heck do you put a picture up on here? Do you have to link to it on the web? I tried to link it to my CAF, but that was clearly a fail. Its under my real name though-Benno Rothschild-so have a look!
