This commission is my 3rd Supergirl, my 16th for Michael and my 4th Adrian job. While only on 1-ply board I was surprised to see that it was accepting of pen or quill use in inking this style of art. On my past Adrian commissions I would simulate the pen look with markers because the board would bleed with pens. So for this piece I made the rare effort of inking the majority of it. with my Hunt 102 nibs and the rest with markers but no brush. I made a slight alteration in the art as requested and I finished this 11X17 image on 11/3/2006. The digital colors were completed by the late Blake Wilkie on 3/25/2008.
