Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


First off Mike its a great Artist and Father that will include their family, such as their kids, in the art they produce. This is one of the more original images of the Cupid and Spider-man combined. The imagery is wonderful and tells a story all in itself. Your use of the arrows and the spider like webbing around the shaft is original and helps combine these two iconic figures together. The small angle wings and sash around his waist also show the typical cupid attire.

The only two things I can find on here to help correct would be the eyes. On Mary Jane her right iris is positioned higher then her left iris, making her look lazy eyed. The other would be the young lady on the far right, above peter, her right eye looks like she went 10 rounds with Mike Tyson.

I love the way you did the faces within the hearts. It is ironic that one of Peters best friends is also one of his worst enemies, yet their is still that brother like love between the two. This is a wonderful piece mike and as always keep up the good work. Thank you.

Hey Mike... Why does this cover look different than the one Marvel has on their website for the solicits?
Here's the cover I'm talking about.

It looks like just the faces are different...

'cuz I re-did it. Sometimes I have to rush to get art in for the preview catalog, which comes out 3 months before the book does. Then I "fix" it up for the printed version.

I think that it's rather fortuitous that your son, Matt, looks so much like Spider-man... LOL.

As ALWAYS, incredible work... can't wait to see the color...

nice i love the symbolism with this. Harry and Peter having formed a rift with the sipdey-cupid between them. using some awesome perspective to hint at possible couples. Harry's girl recently stealing a kiss from peter and all.
the flow is great too; bottom left to top right maybe it's suggesting things might look up for parker
