Goon Commission

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.

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!

MrGoodson2 said...

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.

Tom Moon said...

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!

Davis Chino said...

Oooh, I like yr Egypt-o-centric idea, Ta'Moon!

MrGoodson2 said...

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

MrGoodson2 said...

He decided on the one with the pipe wrench. Just as well. I'll try to kill it. Make it a future commission getter.

MrGoodson2 said...

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.
