My first issue on art duties Daredevil as rotating regular artist is on stands TODAY!!

Here's a preview of the issue if you'd care to take a gander at what's behind that cover.  [link]

And speaking of that cover, by the one-and-only Paolo Rivera, go take a look at how it was made here over at Paolo's blog :) [link]

So here I spent another span of time away from Deviant only to find you added another of my pieces to your favorites. I appreciate it from anyone but it means a lot coming from you, Chris. All the best from your fan.

Mr. Samnee, I don't know if you'll have time to read this, but I just wanted to thank you for your contribution to both Thor: The Mighty Avenger and Siege: Embedded. While I also found the writing to be really good in both, I was mainly drawn to both for your artwork, which I think has a perfect blend of realism and fantastical. For instance, I fell in love with your visual portrayal of Volstagg.

The simple, yet immensely effective lines, as well as the realistic anatomy coupled with the charming, almost old-timey, cartoon-ish (I hope you don't take offense to that. When I say 'cartoon-ish' I mean it reminds me of something akin to Mr. Bruce Timm's work.) quality of the very expressive faces added so much soul to both stories.

You really the capture characters perfectly, in my opinion, and I can't wait to finally get started on your run on Captain America. I think your style lends itself very well to Cap too, from what I've seen here and on your blog.

I also feel like I should commend you on your inking and shading, especially the way you play with shadows.

Anyway, thank you for making my experiences with both comics so enjoyable.
