In Which I Tried To Sell Out

Some may recall I posted some of my work at SD 1.0. Here is more, but this time, stuff that will never be published. And me drawing Marvel characters.
So recently, I finally got up the nerve, after building up a small indie rep as an illustrator and cartoonist, to try to attempt a Marvel sample. As what I draw best, it seems, is attractive women, a friend suggested I use the Black Cat.
So in thanks, she ended up the face model for same.(she also suggested Bullseye, because she wanted to see him kicked in the face)
So: What was going to happen here was she was going to kick Bullseye about the room a bit, and Bullseye was going to be in humiliating pain. Then Norman Osborn was going to come in at the end--I still hadn't worked out why, I just wanted to use him.
But alas, once I had finished this page, Marvel stopped taking submissions right then.
So as it will go to no other purpose, I thought y'all might get a small kick from it, though there are a few errors I was going to fix. Here then is the page of the abortion. Hope you like.

If anyone's interested, more of my stuff can be seen here.

	You stand in line and a guy spends about a minute looking at it. Which, if I were twenty, and unpublished entirely, I probably wouldn't mind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah, I see what you mean. I can imagine that would be frustrating. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	To me that's as horrifying a situation as a job fair. Same thing, really, and just as high a probability it'll be worthwhile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know if this helps how you feel about the situation but going to conventions with a portfolio was how Nicola Scott got her job at DC. So it can work out in the end. (Reply to this) (Parent)
