The kneecap is spectacular. It stands out from the rest of the drawing for its realism. It looks so real you can almost touch it, you can almost feel the cold sensation of the metal and the surface irregularity. It's not an everyday thing to find a drawing of this kind.

Wow! Love the texture on her kneepad thing! I've never seen any of randy green's interiors. I'll have to check it out. Who's coloring this?

really nice work here man! i like the hand gesture, it's very playful and the angle of the body is neat too.
i do also want to know how this is so clean, do you use a glove or something?
keep it up Micah!

Thanks! Yeah, I was trying to add some subtle details like that...As for your question...See my answer to the very first comment on this.

I think it's a good thing you did, i've seen waaay too many covers and art where it lacked that and made the piece boring or bland.
ah! that's kind of like animation clean up, sometimes i've done similar things by using another sheet of paper but if the paper is crappy quality sometimes it can still smudge

Man...you are soo fascinating... I mean, look at this cover, are you a professional artist (sigh)

Haha...I don't think I'm really that fascinating. I'm quite boring to be honest...I sit around all day drawing!

Micah! Will you be at the ASPEN booth in SDCC, or can we catch a bite sometime during the show?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hey Mike! I'll be there...Again, I don't usually leave the booth to eat lunch and most of the time I have dinners already planned out before going...Seeing old friends, meeting with editors and hanging out with the Aspen folks...So its probably not very likely to happen. But definitely stop by the booth and get a sketch and chat!
