It's no secret that I love Wolverine.
Gabriele Dell'Otto is one of my most favorite painter and ever since I bought his artbook in 2009 I told myself that one day I must have a painting commission of Wolverine by him.
I have made several attempts in the past 3-4 years with no success. I know he only does maybe 2 / year of cover quality arts and perhaps once in a blue moon for a painting on canvas. So I really went through hell to get this. I even forced myself not to sleep until 3 AM to sent the email, since the time difference between Italy and Indonesia is not favorable to me. But I did it! Yay!
I was so happy when I received the email confirmation as I have waited for 4 long years for it.
Well 4 years later, here it is:
This one is done in acrylic on 16 x 24 stretched canvas.

So it's another one I can cross off my bucket list.
I tried to have this theme going, a Wolverine in a snowy scenery, but after receiving this, that plan may very well be short-lived as I'm not sure the future ones will be able to top this.
And what makes me happier than receiving this? Gabriele has mentioned he proposed to Marvel to make this a variant cover. If that happens...
