 As with last year's Hulk 100 Project, I am involved with the new Wolverine 100. Marvel printed a variant Hero Initiative edition of Wolverine: Weapon X #1 with a blank card stock cover. The Hero Initiative asked 100 artists to provide original drawings of Wolverine on these comics, which will be auctioned. The images will eventually be collected in a trade edition. All proceeds will go to the Hero Initiative which helps comics creators in times of medical and financial need. The deadline was June 8, but, with my workload, I did not think I could get to it until after the SD Con. However, here it is. I used pencil, pen & ink, ink wash, and red Prismacolor pencil. The card stock has a slight gloss on it, which made it difficult to work with wet mediums. That's why I used a monochromatic wash, which is a lot more forgiving than watercolors. The part I like best is the signature logo. Here's a link for a look at some other covers: http://www.heroinitiative.org/NewsDetail.asp?NewsId=190
