Looking for an issue with an ad

Post by chesscub »

I won the artwork from a Valiant ad. I'm trying to find an issue that has said ad so I can have them both in my art portfolio.

Could anyone tell me an issue this appeared in?

I distinctly remember it but can't remember where I saw it.

Was it listed as unpublished artwork?

It wasn't listed as unpublished. I swear I remember seeing it somewhere. Maybe one of the Valiant Voices. :?

It goes nicely with my other three Valiant ads

a Butch Guice Eternal Warrior ad (I'm still searching for that one but that has to be late Valiant)
a Bernard Chang Visitor ad (Thanks Dan!)
and
a Mike Manley ad from Birthquake (got it from Mike Manley)

Post it in the art forum. I dont recall it off the top of my head. I'll look tomorrow though. I saw it when Ron listed it, for some reason I was thinking it was unpublished.

Very impressive to remember that image, but I am afraid that it is not exactly the same. It is very similar in composition. I wonder if possibly the one asked for here is a preliminary version. The poster is stapled into the book (did I possibly get it from you?) but it also shows the pencils separately. It's by Layton, it's landscape and has the characters (no Dr Mirage). more beside each-other.

Are you referring to the one where he is standing next to a plane? That was one of my favorite drawings of EW back in the day.

Are you thinking of this art from the cover of Valiant Voice 8? Not quite the same.

Yeah. I need to get it scanned in. At the time I bought it, the guy had that ad art and an Overpower card art (which is another thing I'm a sucker for) I had to choose. I think I chose well.

That could be what I remembered. I'll keep searching but my Valiants are all out of order since I moved a couple of years ago. facepalm

Your right and yea, you probably got it from me in a big package of Valiant Mags. So it looks like there were a few different drawings with these character's together for advertisement. I always liked the ones I'v seen, this one is no acception. Thanks for Sharing Chess

It's a good looking piece, but I am still thinking it is unpublished.

Honestly not entirely sure what you're asking but this is the exact same piece.
