Some Walking Dead baster breaks with awesome results. Sketch, 1/1 & more

[stang_crazy]

So i busted a handful of blasters from season 8, Evolution and Road to Alexandria. Im pretty damn shocked at some of the pulls. Im mainly a basketball collector but I do the Walking Dead Also. All together it was 5 or 6 blasters. So just the better hits are shown.

I pulled a 1/1 with Eugene on it but sat it in here somewhere but can't find it. So once I do ill post pics. I did pull a sketch from Season 8. First one ive personally pulled, but I'm a bit confused as to what it's supposed to represent.

So here we go.

From one blaster of Evolution a Tara Chambler blood red 1/1

So my question is, What is the sketch supposed to be?

[jrosales]

I'm as puzzled on the sketch as you are. When I worked on this set, I looked at screen caps for reference photos, and I don't remember seeing the image in question.

only thing i can come up with is its the moon and the black parts are smoke from a fire?? Even if that the case I hate to say someone artwork isn't good but eeeek.

Looking up through the sewers while Alexandria is being set on fire?

your guess is as good as mine. Which it does sort of look like it could be that. Wonder if there is a way to reach out to the artist and ask. The sketch might make more sense if I knew what it was.

Btw awesome hits for blasters. I’ve never hit anything remotely close on WD blasters. Did hit a 1/1 on an Olympics blaster. Two 1/1’s seems like outrageous odds.

[stang_crazy]

Another question regarding sketches. I know the artists do a number of different ones for each set. But do they do more than 1 of each they do or is it just one of each?

Oh I couldnt agree more pulling all theres cards here in the last 2 days was insane. I have busted prolly 15-20 or so different WD blasters from all the different sets season mostly season 6,7,8 Road to alexandria and a few evolution. The funny think is these pulls here were all blasters that I bought at the same store at the same time with the exception of the Tara 1/1 I got prolly 3 months ago.

i did pull 3 other autos from blasters from that store. The first blaster I bought of season 7 I think it would of been i think the 2nd season of The Jeffery Dean Morgan autos I pulled his auto. I did pulls a Glenn from season 6 & a Joe from evolution I forgot about. Like i said above I thought I had a Eugene 1/1 u pulled also but dont know where i put it but hell i could be dreaming. I feel behind i posting all my breaks & everything got moved and mixed.

We don’t do duplicate sketches. Each sketch card is of a different reference image or the character drawn in a different manner, so each sketch card is a true one of one. That said, I know after a few sets (or years) we might draw the same reference image again as we feel we can draw it better now than we could in the past. Hope that helps answer your question!

Yes sir that does help. I actually just contacted Michelle on Facebook to see if she could explain it. So will see what she says.

[stang_crazy]

I got a quick response from Michelle, and she confirmed kind of what i thought it was. Which was just a generic moon shot. She did say it was one done closer to the deadline and quality gets a bit less. But I was shocked when she said she wanted send me something with a bit more quality to it from TWD that she had left over.

I was looking at some of her other work on facebook and she does some awesome work. So i recommend checking her out.
