Captain America shield up for auction!

Almost two years ago, at Valleycon 40, Alan Lindahl donated a sweet custom painted Captain America shield to the charity auction.  As the story goes, he purchased the shield (sans Cap paint job) at a renaissance fair about five years prior.  Since he couldn't find anything to do with it he decided to paint it up and donate it to the auction.

Nova inks

Working on my inking again.  The original pencils were on 8.5" x 11" but I printed the blue line on 11" x 17" and inked over it.  Nova was done mostly with brush.  The backgrounds were a variety of mediums.  It was beneficial for me since I hadn't inked some of these effects before.  I do NOT like the feathering on the effects.  I think I did okay (by my novice standards) on the feathering on Nova himself.  Just not good on the background.  I suppose there are better ways to tackle these effects (especially the starry background) and hopefully I'll learn those over time.  Mixed bag but it was fun and I think I learned some things.
