A friend fell on some hard times and doesn't collect anymore.
I'm putting together some stuff for him for Christmas and would like to figure out what this image is.
Hes a big Artgerm fan and this image is the wall paper on his laptop.
Does anyone know if this is the cover to a comic?

I found out it is called Beautiful Boxer and it was made for a comic book titled Ego. Here is the link to Artgerm's deviantArt picture of it. I'm turning in for the night, otherwise I'd try to track the comic down for you. Hope this helps.

Thanks. I can't find it at the moment but I'm calling it a night as well.

I did do some more digging. Artgerm mentioned he did this in collaboration with Wong Shui Pan. I googled his name, found his facebook page and found a few images of "Ego". It appears that it is a manga style book published in Hong Kong. I did not find a picture of "Ego" with the "Beautiful Boxer" on the cover. Maybe Poka can help, but I don't think you'll get one by Christmas time. Maybe an Artgerm print of a different drawing?

Thanks. I couldn't find it either.

I'm grabbing some other artgerm books for him but was hoping to get this since he apparently likes it so much. A collector friend said he thinks it might be an interior page.

I never found the publication, but here's a video of it being made.

I did some digging on this one yesterday, but came up on a dead end...

Wong Shui Pan has an open Facebook profile and back to November 22 2014 when the book was published he was selling variants online. He posted only the main Ego cover for the book...so not sure if the boxer image was enventually used as a cover or not.

@ThorneArt I was looking at it closely. Tried to download it so I could jump ahead more easily.
