An Addition to the E.T. Sketch Card Collection (Part 1)

My pruny friend E.T. will probably never see himself on another trading card set ever again. As much as I hate to admit it, his time has past. But that isn't stopping me from slowly building up a collection of commissioned sketch cards. Last week saw two additions to the collection, officially doubling it.

The first one is from Scott Zirkel, whose work I was introduced to via ye ole Wax Womat. The purpose of my collection is to focus on one subject and take in different interpretations. Zirkel brings a breezy cartoon take to E.T., pointing out both the alien's intuitiveness and slight hesitation toward the foreign world around him.


For those keeping tabs, through three commissions that I've posted, here's the E.T. sketch card collection:

Katie Cook - E.T. Sketch Card
 This one is from Katie Cook, who is gearing up for the release of a Fraggle Rock comic. Heck, yeah! Katie does a phenominal job capturing the "cute" in her subjects.

Ingrid Hardy - E.T. Sketch Card
This one is from Ingrid Hardy. I picked her work because I love the soft, realistic tones she uses. This was a perfect image to capture her style.

There's a fourth card sitting in front of me right now that I'll be sharing shortly. The process of the card is something I'd like to focus on so it'll have a post when I have some more extra time.
