I'll give an artbook recommendation of my own too: The Art of Top Cow

Top Cow Productions, Inc. proudly announced today that they will release The Art of Top Cow, a 320 page hard cover coffee table book. Scheduled to be released in July 2009, The Art of Top Cow celebrates the artwork of Top Cow CEO and founder Marc Silvestri as well as alumni of the famous Top Cow Artist “Pit.” This definitive art collection chronicles the visual impact that Marc Silvestri’s artwork and his personal training of the in-house artists of Top Cow had on the face of comic art.
The Art of Top Cow reproduces the best artwork from 16 years of Top Cow’s publishing legacy, featuring fan-favorite properties such as The Darkness, Witchblade, and Cyberforce. Famous alumni of the Top Cow “Pit” included in The Art of Top Cow are artists Michael Turner, Dave Finch, Joe Benitez, Eric Basaldua, Dale Keown, Stjepan Sejic, and many, many more.
Never-before-seen photographs and behind-the-scenes stories compliment the artwork in The Art of Top Cow, illustrating the rise of Top Cow’s place in the comic market.

“Marc Silvestri is one of the greats among comic artists and this volume will showcase that, but the true impact Marc has had on the comic industry is in the legacy of artists he has trained,” commented Filip Sablik, Top Cow Publisher, “You only need to look at top projects in the industry to see alumni like Finch, Benitez, Turner, Tan, Manapul, Choi, and many, many more.”

The Art of Top Cow hard cover is presented in an oversized 10” x 12” hard cover with a two-sided dust jacket that folds out into a unique poster and features a new cover collaboration between Silvestri and long time colorist & painter Steve Firchow

Also in the book: Frank Cho, Terry Dodson, Greg Land, David Mack and more.

not bad price too! nice one Ill. I may have to give that one a go.
 
My god that's a gorgeous piece of art but that price is just crazy. I saw that he already got 5 offers on it, I wonder what they were.

A commissioned piece at $1,200 sounds like a bargain compared to that. Which I'm hoping to have him do in the future.

Yeah that price really does sound like a bargain compared to the alternative. Be sure to post pics of the commission piece in here if you get one done. :D
 
Hey guys I just wanted to know if any of you are familiar with Chris Stevens. Well anyways, I've been eyeballing some of his work over on the statueforums and decided to contact him for a commission for me.

I asked him if he could do something close to the cover of Blackest Night #2 with the GL as the main character and with a couple of the Black Lantern's hands reaching around him. He said he couldn't do an exact replication of the cover, but could do something very similar to it.
Here are a couple examples he has made so you can see what to expect:

That looks awesome man! :rock I so wish I had the money to get a commission done for me by someone like Adam Hughes or J Scott Campbell, but it's something that'll probably never happen. Be sure to update us when you get your commission from him. :D
