José Delbo sent me his striking pencil sketch and powerful inked work, which I then interpreted in oil on canvas. I wanted to create a very painterly piece with obvious brush marks etc, but I was also aiming for a nostalgic feel, a kind of 1980’s superhero comic book look, the kind I grew up with.
My goal with this animation was to try to recreate, in part, the creative process that both artists went through with the visual information I had. I was able to showcase my painting process more accurately as I could take photographs of my progress throughout. Consecutive images could then be layered like brush strokes over José’s drawing to create the impression that this was one continuous artwork from pencil, to ink, to completed painting.
The representation of the line sketch at the beginning, then pencil/ink and lastly the paint layers being applied demonstrate both artists’ struggle for the right lines, tone, form, and colour until the work is finally completed. As the oil was still wet with each photograph the glare of my studio lights can be seen in the brush strokes. Eventually, the figure emerges and as it does, our hero comes to life, looking directly at the viewer -- but is he grimacing in approval or disgust? We will never know for sure as just before he can say anything, white paint is brushed across the canvas entirely and the process begins again. Only the bat is quick enough to escape.

🔥🔥🔥
This is dope asf.
Thanks, Justin 🙏
Haha! I almost missed the smirk ... that is such a cheeky touch .. !!
Cheers!
Who is here watching this with me?? Let's goooo!!!
I've got my popcorn ready!
🍿🍿🍿
Thanks for bringing extra popcorn, mate! Your hospitality is virtually unmatched! Let's share one of these with Shariq as we watch the show go on
im with you bro Nanimalisimo :)
Trevor brought 3 extra bags of popcorn, bro! We now each have one. I'm loving his hospitality on this. Let's watch and enjoy the show bro!
ohh thx trevor for the popcorn :)
bid is getting exciting and by the way congrats to u for your two pieces, im super happy cos i know u've got hands of steel :)
Thanks brother! Congrats to both of us for being able to pick one up! We should feel VIP. Hey, btw, I'm going to add a bit more butter to my popcorn. Need anything? More candy, perhaps?
thx bro, sure ill have some extra butter and some candies pls :)
O let's do it
Everyone on the internet is watching 😍
Getting close to crunch time, who will take it?!
HUGE, WHAT A MASTERPIECE 🧡
Pablo will not leave until he is declared winner. Everyone else should just stop pretending!!
Heroes belong where they will be properly taken care of and where everyone can view them! There is only ONE place for that -- MOCA!!!!!
Wow wow wow wow
Exciting collaboration! And I just arrived in time to see the bid war :)
good ur part of history in making :)
I remember when I thought about bidding on this or even had a shot lololol
lol you and I both Tommy.....hilarious. You've got jokes today!!!
I like to keep it loose and have a good time 😂🤪
its raining ETH today ;)
Speechless!
this is insane!! 275ETH
hi! r u willing to sell ur piece?? or looking to buy vengeance?? any offers??
Whats up? Everything is for sale, but my valuation on the collection after genesis’ sale is pretty high. I like vengeance but prefer the protector. Gotten two offers so far, but nothing close to what I’d sell for.
im fine doin great, it was a mind boggling experience yesterday, good to know u own a piece aswell :)
anyways great i hope u get good offers in few weeks and if you dont mind what price r you looking to sell at?? as im negotiating from other seller aswell but lets see if the price is in my reach :)
i have vengeance but have'nt received any offer.
9.5 eth is the best offer but that was offered way before Maxstealth made history on genesis! I’d start to consider offers above $8k. Easily think it’ll be worth 1/10th of what genesis sold for in a few years since its basically the sketches of the NFT record piece.
I’m in no hurry since NFT/crypto art is still very new and both artists are amazing.
Cheers to a good investment and great art!
WOW!! Best of luck bro and hope you sell what figures you have in mind, im currently negotiating with two sellers as they are asking around 12eth, hope they come down and i crack a deal :)
Let me know if you sometime plan to sell around 8 to 9 eth considering urz is 7/10 & if i do not close current deals in negotiations i will surely buy yours instantly.
Good to know you bro, wish you best of luck :)
my goodness! Who will take it? lol
WOW This needs to be a chat box!
Who says it ain't one? *wink*
the suspense
Over 100K, 😂😂
LETS F*CKIN GO
Thanks! Just bought 100k
nft history.
You could almost buy an actual batmobile with this
I'm too scared to refresh the page, I'm afraid of heights!
Why buy a lambo when you got this!
Broken all previous crypto art records I guess...?
True history
I wish there was a twitch channel to cover stuff like this live.
That’s an awesome idea
This is incredible! Trevor and José, you deserve it!
fascinating to witness
Who needs popcorn?????
What an incredible show!!!!!!
Congratulations to the buyer and seller <3
Amazing
Art is priceless & Digital Art is forever.
Wow wow wow woowwwwwww!!!!!!!!
Wow wow wow woowwwwwww!!!!!!!!
Wow
