I snuck in an additional black panther. There behind the text box, lying in wait. I couldn’t put C.B in the painting, there were pretty specific rules about likeness when painting Marvel characters. But in my head, like all the kings before him, he manifests for the next BP.

My collage technique is still there in full, but I got to really cut loose with color. A lot of the blacks on the suit are handpainted. It was important to the creative brief that the vibranium appear to glow and light is just better with paint.

The final is at 18" x 24" on Masonite. It lets me see the painting in totality while I'm working on it, without the need to constantly step back. It also let me paint more directly, so there is a lot more painting going with this one than there usually is.

I’m unused to clients considering my perspective and input. That’s never been a problem with Wizards. I’m still learning how to do this job, but I’ve learned if I trust the AD’s with my ideas, they trust me with honest feedback and collaboration.
