(above) Pencils by Elton Ramalho
My 13th & last commission (for now:-) from a recent pile of them from Jeff, perhaps the most prolific Namor art fan and collector out there, this one was my first experience inking another Brazillian artist, Elton Ramalho. The "Ed, Edd & Eddy" of Marvel Comics when it comes to names, this work depicts Namor's family members Namor, his cousin Namora (1st appearing in the Golden-age of comics from Timely/Marvel), and her daughter Namorita/Nita. Unfortunately, to further trim down Namor's list of living relatives & loves, like Lady Dorma, Namora was also murdered by the lethal Llyra not long after her Bronze-age re-introduction. If I was Nita I would be wearing body armor by now;-) But I digress. Jeff had me remove Namor's drawn in body hair in this 11 X 17 commission which was completed in brush & marker by 2/17/04.
