I'll start on the 11 by 17 tonight.
It's about 4.4 by 6.8 right now.
I'm going to make the central action smaller, let it breath a bit.

The commission comes from an Ardmore, OK fellow I met at OafCon who loves my art.
He bought a couple of Hulks from me.

El! This looks super-good!!
I also liked yr first stab at it, with the coffin over his head. I see what you mean about the coffin taking a lot of room...I still really like it. I'm sure your vigorous use of black on that first comp is helping, too.
This looks so cool!!
Thanks Marty. I start something like this and I have to go through a couple of mental steps that remind me I can draw and not just doodle.
I saw you and Joe Sanabria were out sketching. That sounds like a lot of fun. I'm stuck in desolate SW Oklahoma City in the middle of a refrigerator freezer.
The only stipulation or guidance on the commision was that it have The Goon, Franky and The Buzzard. And
Franky has to be shooting a Thompson Machine Gun.
I wonder if anyone has ever shot one of those Thompsons broken down to about the size of an Uzi. I think the barrel would screw off.
I have to go back to work tomorrow. Better get something done tonight. I've been goofing off, as usual. I work sometimes. I was removing water from flooded rooms yesterday. Had my Vado in my pocket. This one isn't public.
I watched yr vid--very good to see you working again and looking well!
And once it finished, YouTube prompted me with half a dozen Big Daddy Ed Roth/Von Dutch pinstripping videos...interesting algorithm at work there.
Looks good. I liked the coffin overhead too. Seems a more distinctive take on the subject. Nice that you are getting artwork commissions!
The Roth - Von Dutch vid is my biggest hit. No doubt the biggest I'll ever have. Until I get a kitten that talks.
Pin stripers worship me for sharing that video.
Thanks for the take or liking the coffin. Makes me think. I need to do the one with the coffin too.
I'm so lazy. I could be done but I blew off any work on the 11 by 17 other than the rough transfer.
I hate to draw large. Something I need to get over.
I sent the commissioner a link to the thumbnail, tumblr post. I'll let him vote. The coffin one may win yet.
I think it would be cool to make the coffin ornate and different in some way so as to tell a unique story. Or make it an Egyptian sarcophagus,and have the figures surrounding him be mummies!
Oooh, I like yr Egypt-o-centric idea, Ta'Moon!
I like your ideas too Tom. My plan was the Buzzard will be in the Coffin. Maybe blazing away with his dragoon style pistol. I failed to send my client the link to the thumbnails. I've been waiting all day for his vote. Dang it. Oh well. I have Tues and Weds off. I'll definitely be done by then
He decided on the one with the pipe wrench. Just as well. I'll try to kill it. Make it a future commission getter.
This is my assignment today. Get this done. Do some shopping. Start by 2 pm. Done by 7 Pm. Hopefully. I can make it a Tuesday art offering that way. And have Wednnesday off without some deadline nagging me.
