4 Sketch Cards, 5 Characters, and One Tough Artist To Locate and Secure

As I wind down the artists I can feasibly add to my Master Set and collection of Archer Sketch cards, a few big ones have come across my desk. Jump high and quickly to acquire them I most certainly did and today's acquisition taking damn near a decade was truly worth it in the end. 

David Namisato was not a rare artist in Cryptozoic's release, nor did he work on Archer itself. His artwork proved to be extremely elusive and prior to picking up these four beauties I don't recall the last time I even saw one of his cards available. Ironically one did appear shortly after I bought this quartet of Artist Proofs.

My favorite of the bunch is Lana and Cyril in the middle of some adult activity as they are interrupted by Archer and Malory. More than one character in any sketch is a bonus I did not appreciate enough until recently and it's an awesome scene to actually have had crafted in the release.

David took inspiration from Season 4, Episode 5: "Viscous Coupling."

Here is a gorgeous shot of Malory taken from the frames right before the opening credits rolled for the first time ever in Season 1, Episode 1: "Mole Hunt" aka Pilot. I really like the blue background meshing with the hint of blue in her eyes.

Here's a new Ray of whom my collection is very modest. This is not a direct scene David drew from but his imagination produced an awesome piece of sketched art and his distinctive style is very much growing on me as I finally get a chance to hold some of his work in-hand.

We wrap up with another imagined scene much like the previous one with a character firing off weapons in an intense action pose. I don't have many horizontal sketches so adding another Archer and having it be a bit unique is a nice touch. The loincloth....now why that was included, I can't say.
