Art Appreciation - Pin-Up Style

[Darth Snoopy]

In the mean time, I just got two emails from Mike DeBalfo and Marc Silvestri to agree to do a commission for me for next year, so I'm real pumped for those at least

That's really cool, Congrats!

Hopefully your other issue gets taken care of quickly, bro.

Thanks Darth, I'm hoping he gets off his ass as well

But enough of all this talking, since I've taken up so many posts with just walls of text, I thought I'd share my Mike DeBalfo prelim with everyone. He got enthusiastic last night and did a quick one for a Lady Death one I asked for, basing the composition on one of my favorite Michael Turner prints that I have hanging on the wall. It looks awesome and I'm real excited to see how it will turn out

Getting better! I told Mike the only thing that could go wrong is how muscular her arms are. Otherwise, just about perfect already!

Whoa...looking good, IoE!

Wow she looks Fantastic!

Here it is, the final piece! Mike said he tried transferring it on a light box to another paper, but he was losing a lot of energy and natural lines, so he just refined the original prelim. I think I'm gonna look for an inker to do this piece up and possibly find a colorist to do something neat to it

Beautiful!

I really like her hair.

Thanks DeadLeaves!

Well, I got some great news for me, bad news for anyone viewing the thread. Mike liked this commission so much that he's gonna pitch it to Brian Pulido to be a possible cover to a comic Mike said that this is one of his most favorite commissions, so I don't wanna go against any rules and have the chance of this image being a cover ruined by posting it publicly, which Mike said not to do, lol

If you saw it before I had to take all the images down, consider yourself lucky haha.

 

[DeadLeaves]

Cool! Lucky my right click save macro is lightning quick.

Don't worry, I won't re-post it anywhere.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

I'm glad I got a chance to see it before the pic was removed.

Congrats on the potential original cover art, IoE!
