BLACK PANTHER VS. KARATE KID BY SAL VELLUTO: Commission

Travis Ellisor is a new client who commissioned Sal and myself to add to his Comic Art Fans gallery theme “Karate Kid vs. ….” It’s my first Karate Kid (from the Legion of Superheroes) but my 25th Black Panther and my forty-fourth Sal Velluto commission! I inked this 8.5X11 art on 2-ply board with a Raphael Kolinsky brush #8404 size 3, and my micron and Pitt markers. It was completed on 9/18/10. Hi-yaaaa!!!
