Batgirl cover painting


This was for Legends of the DC Universe #11, December, 1998.  The large scan of the painting is from a color copy which seems to have intensified the colors compared to the printed version which looks almost black and white here.

    Great painting! Will you be doing more painted projects in the futre?

    Can't wait to see your new painting Kevin. This cover and the #10 cover are mind numbingling purdy.

    The colors on the comic and painting scan are vastly different here--which version is closer to the original painting?

    They're probably somewhere in between. More color than the comic but not as much as the scan from the color copy.

    the color scan looks so much more interesting almost like she's under water. Would've been great if the cover had those blues and purples in it.

    I did upload that same cover scan to the GCD last year (I think that's Kevin's source) and used it in my own blog.
    If you want to see a high resolution scan go there:

    Kevin, fell free to take the high resolution original scan instead.
