Artist's Comments

My first cover pencilled, inked, and coloured, all by myself.

I had to re-draw the background on this one, which ended up being a bit of a pain. Taskmaster, Black Mamba and Asp were originally in a hotel room in the layout and the inked lineart, but it looked a bit too dull to my editor, so I was asked to move them poolside, or just have the figures on a blank coloured background. Obviously I went with the pool setting.

Knowing that your original setting changed does explain why a wooden chair is outside a pool, but I think you made a wise decision. This setting you picked is very visually appealing.
I think you did a brilliant job on the color work. My artistic idol Fred Perry does the pencil/ink/color/text work for his comic Gold Digger. I really have to admire an artist who does all his own work. It can't be easy.

I would figure Osborn would offer someone a seat at the Cabal table. Seeing how he lost two members of it at once.

The hard way tends to be the coolest way.

You did a job on Taskmaster's face. I never knew his origins, but I feel he is an interesting character.

Fantastic piece, David. You really have a great eye for the ladies. BTW, I would've gone with the blank BG hehe. I'm a lazy bastich. Very nicely done.
