My other Nittany Con Commission from last weekend- a Unicorn/Eagle with a Devil Tail… a “Whatley”
Kitty Pryde Commission
Just a quick fun sketch of Kitty Pryde from the X-Men I did at Nittany Con last weekend. I wanted to emphasize and show her power to move through objects, so she is shifting up through an angled floor/object. Good stuff.
Hellboy Day Sketch
In Honor of Big Red’s 20th anniversary, a wee sketch commission for a client on Hellboy Day! Thanks Mike Mignola for this awesome creation, and some amazing artwork since 1994!
Setsucon 2014- Commissions
Three random commissions I did at SETSUCON 2014- Jigsaw, Judge Dredd and a young lady who had a furry character she asked me to illustrate for her! I always enjoy these small sketches at shows!
Im looking forward to a larger scale DREDD study for a killer pinup in the near future- stay tuned…. it’s fun how these commissions can foreshadow something bigger sometimes!
Harley Quinn Commission- Final Inks
The final inks to HARLEY LOVES JOKER
Notes- I really rebuild the face to get more of a sexy look and a pronounced nose, this worked well in my opinion – I also really felt the line weight and solid blacks evoked a style that I love from the old U.K. 2000 A.D. Books from the early 80’s. If you are familiar with that- chime in to give your opinion!
I also changed up the Heart’s in the middle and just made it say LOVES- it was unclear to the public what I was trying to get accross- so it had to change!
Overall, I felt a solid composition and execution on a fun commission for a client!
Thanos Commission- Final Inks
The final inks for my Thanos Commission. The inks really brought out the details and made this piece pop. The facial texture really did it for me, I liked this from the major composition and layout to the final details. I tried to take my old school Role Playing Game inking style to a Marvel Hero, I think it worked well to take a new take on an old character.
Harley Quinn Commission- Pencils
Another cool commission from a fan who asked me to do an interpretation of DC Comic’s Harley Quinn, the girlfriend of the Joker. I was surprised to see her new costume was more of a roller derby girl as opposed to her old Batman the animated series jester outfit, but hey, times are changing! I may tweak some of the facial expression, but at the same time, I like the odd expression that came with the smile and stare I was going for in a psychotic killer’s psychotic girlfriend….
Enjoy!
Thanos Commission- Pencils
Just a short and sweet Thanos Commission I’m doing for a fan I met at a store signing. He is collecting different artists doing their own interpretations of the classic Marvel villain. I’ll always identify Thanos with the following four items as visual keys…
#1- The Infinity Gauntlet
#2- The 70’s Anime inspired helmet
#3- the psycho eyes and ever present smile
#4- the wacked out ribbed chin
I put all of them in the piece, and had a nice overlap of hand over face and shoulder to build depth. The piece ended up being a fairly simple, but effective composition to get what I remembered about Thanos into one coherent pinup.
Commission Piece- THE THING – Dog Mutation
A quick and really cool commission I did at the Cleveland Comic Con for a fan- he tasked me to draw something I’ve wanted to draw for a while, and had not- I decided to give him the mutating dog from 1982’s THE THING. And I think I’ll revisit this in full pen and ink glory in the months to come. Stay tuned.
Pittsburgh Comic Con 2013- Commissions
Here are a variety of the fun commissions that some of my excellent fans had me creat for them last weekend at the Pittsburgh Comic Con- some simple, some complex- but all of them fun and original pieces made on the spot …Enjoy!
Now that con season is wrapping up for the year, I can get back to working on more awesome pieces of pinup art for a bit…. then, lets talk about a new comic book….
