doughnut42 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 BTW, artist Ryan Cody is running a commissions special with details here. You can see examples of his work at comicartfans and his deviantart gallery. I've gotten a few from him before and he always does excellent work.

doughnut42 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Fantastic!!! I love the commentary on the fight too. I don't think I've seen that before at CAF. Oh, I always post my thoughts on the Karate Kid fights in my commission collection. I sometimes post the artists' thoughts on the fights as well.

Speedy-D Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 That's awesome. I'm gonna have to start doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasFan Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Fantastic!!! I love the commentary on the fight too. I don't think I've seen that before at CAF. Oh, I always post my thoughts on the Karate Kid fights in my commission collection. I sometimes post the artists' thoughts on the fights as well. I like to make up a little back-story for all my all original Suicide Squad commissions and then have the artist work from that. http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryRoom.asp?GSub=105493 It makes me feel like Stan Lee or Julius Schwartz when designing a cover!

Hey Kids, Comics! Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) I suppose con sketches belong in this thread, too? I went to Capt Comics show in Charlotte yesterday and pick up this Chrissie Zullo Harley. The DC cover is glossy so the shading doesnt do real well. Still a really cool piece. I also picked up this Budd Root Black Canary. It's a massive 14 * 16 1/2 and is pretty sweet. It's the only piece in my collection with some nudity but I figured if I ever needed any cash, it would move QUICKLY. If you want to see the uneditied version, you have to check it out on my CAF gallery. http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=741423&GSub=107831 Edited March 21, 2011 by TAFKADixie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doughnut42 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 And I got two more new commissions today, sort of unexpectedly, as I had no idea when I would receive them: Solomon Grundy vs. The Thing by Eddy Newell Colossus vs. The Juggernaut by Chris Stevens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ares Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I am working on a series of commissions based on the First Issue of Superman VS. Spider-man. The difference is that they are fighting on different buildings around the world First Commission by Dave Ross is on the Empire State Building. http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=182170&GSub=28960 The Second is by Kalman Andrasofszky and Has Superman and Spider-man fighting on the CN Tower http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=404477&GSub=28960 I am waiting on a commission by a local Toronto Artist to add to collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy-D Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Great idea, and two excellent first pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxjhnsn Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I just received a new commission featuring Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes by Michael Netzer and Joe Rubinstein. Michael (as Mike Nasser) and Joe had an all to brief IMO run on the LSH that I really enjoyed. When Michael decided to start doing commissions again, I jumped at the chance. You can see it in my CAF Gallery. On the link, you'll get more of the story and some Additional Images. They include: 1) The sketch that Michael on my first idea that didn't satisfy either of us. He did a great sketch, but it felt like I wasn't leveraging his skills. He had a better idea. Clearly, I'm not qualified to be an Art Director. 2) The pencils 3) Two partial inks that illustrate Joe's work on the piece. I think it's worth a click, however, for those that don't like clicking, I offer the following. Enjoy, I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THedendahl-migration Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 One of the situations I find most funny from the old spiderman is when Moon Knight and Spiderman has tricked and then beaten some mobsters. Moon Knight as the brat he is wants to buy caviar and vintage wine while spiderman makes a polite excuse and runs away. I guess even superheroes has different economical classes... I had to translate from swedish so it might not be right compared to the origional american version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alxjhnsn Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Thanks, guys. I think both Joe and Mike did great work. Be sure to look at the intermediate images in the CAF. I think seeing the pencils followed by views of Joe's inks is really interesting. It's also interesting to compare Mike's take on redoing the Adventure 247 splash vs. Al Plastino's (Al was the original artist). I just added the published image and the re-creation that Al did for me. It's fun to look at what might have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy-D Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Very beautiful Alex. Seeing the pencils is great too. Did Joe ink over the original, or do you still have the virgin pencils in your keeping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxjhnsn Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 He inked over a blue-line of the pencils. I decided to have both and will probably frame them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy-D Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Definitely the right move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
