The Commissions Thread

[Skullmo]

Ohhhh yes very nice. This would have made a good cover!

[Simon Beigh]

I'm with Skullmo. This deserves to be a cover. It's fabulous and Willsher continues his run of form! Huge congrats!

I have also wondered how much these commissions cost as there are a few in my mind that I would love to get done, especially as it is my big 40 this year = cool gift for me!
My ultimate would be a bisley but I imagine these are beyond the realms of the normal man. 

I'm 40 this year, too, and have already explained to Mrs X that a commission would be a much more appropriate gift than a watch.

It got shared on social media already but just in case... I got this done at C2E2 last month.

[8-Ball]

Nice one, PopFenton.

[Graff Vynda K]

For your consideration...Mr & Mrs DiGriz!

[Montynero]

Damn!

Now THAT was a story.

¡HOLA!  If I see another one of you post a commission that's better than anything Rey Carlos has drawn for the prog in a decade, I'm going to burst yez. STOP DISTRACTING HIM WITH LUCRATIVE PRIVATE COMMISSIONS!


congratulations, obviously, Graff - that's an incredible bit of work. I guess there's no secret to how to get the best out of Carlos - it's pretty obvious where his interests lie, and what gets him really excited

[Spikes]

Congrats Graff, that's a simply stunning commission from King Carlos.

He's just getting better, and better at these, isn't he.

[hippynumber1]

Absolutely superb! Carlos hits another one for six!

[Graff Vynda K]

Quite honestly, I was blown away by this one. I knew he'd come up with something good, because, hey, he's Carlos, but this was above and beyond for me.

I'm not a big commissions guy, since it's the dynamism of the story on comics page that gets me; but look how he tells the story of this relationship in one 'panel'. I loved reading Harry Harrison and The Stainless Steel Rat books when I was kid, and I loved the 2000ad adaptation. And jeeez, I love this commission too. Ezquerra's a unique and absolute talent in comics. I'm not sure he gets enough general recognition for that...

Sauchie; I was pretty sure that the hadn't done a S Steel Rat Commission, plus I sent him a bunch of images of 70's movie posters (The Gauntlet, Our Man Flint, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot etc)...it doesn't hurt to get your artist juiced up for the job...

Our Man Flint

That explains the pose!

[Montynero]

I was super excited to get this artwork from the mighty Ben Willsher yesterday! What a talented dude. Very flattered he bothered to draw it too, given how busy he is with 2000ad strips right now.

[Spikes]

Very nice. Always a treat to see more from Ben.

[Simon Beigh]

Yeah - it's great to see more of Ben's work. Lovely piece, Montynero!
