Looks like Diedre from X-O, since she's the only "cover my naked self in fur" character we've seen.

I was like "What's the White Queen doing in a Valiant card set"? but that makes sense...

A few years ago I got my wife a two-year subscription to Non-Sport Update for Christmas. I paid for the subscription in October or so expecting the first issue in December. The first issue showed up about Halloween with a handwritten note thanking my wife for the two year subscription written on something akin to a notepad one would keep at home by the phone. It wasn't official stationary and I want to say it had a picture of a pink cartoon rabbit on it. That was almost worth spoiling the Christmas present.

I bought a set of the 9 cards separately for just under $20.
Since my sketch card was $40, and I chose it from 20 options,
I feel like I got to "hand select" the sketch card for my $60 set.

I'm tempted to jump on these.... but $60 seems a little high for most of the sketch cards I've seen so far (bte and a couple others are clear exceptions).

Image

This is an $80 cary Nord sketch, on an blank XO #1. It was my first commission, so I'm not sure if most artist do that level of work for $80.

But I'm thinking that if I'm gonna spend $60 on a baseball card sized sketch, I might as well cough up a little more dough and get another sketch cover!

Welp looks like that one Flamingo Card I mentioned may have been rejected so keep an eye out for it. It's shot of her pole dancing in a cowboy outfit. sometimes these rejected cards show up in weird places.

Welp since I'm not a comic book artist I can't command such prices for fairly simple work but i do sketch covers as well.

Thank You, It's kinda weird drawing larger art after doing so many sketch cards. It's like watching a 12 inch tv then switching to a 48 inch hd tv. it's almost like you're at the movies.
