Mitch Ballard's Album
It'd been 2.5 years but this was my 3rd commission inking Mitch. It was part of a 3-piece package for my Namor fan Jeff and this was my 15th from him. I used brush, markers, some black Prismacolor, and 2 kinds of zip-a-tone. I added the black frame to the background to add more contrast. This 11 X 17 commissions was completed on 2/3/05. Jeff later comissioned Tom Smith to color the work and this was completed on 8/31/05 (below).
