Commission: Wonder Girl

Today's commission is DC Comics' Wonder Girl. 9 x 12, ink and Copic markers on bristol board.

Additionally, I'm still accepting preorders for San Diego Comic-Con (July 20–24). As usual, I'm not sure if I'll be doing more than penciled headshots at the show (stagefright), so please consider lining up a commission before the show. If you're an art collector that prefers to have commissions done in your themed sketchbook, you can mail me your sketchbook and I'll be glad to bring it to the show.

Contact me at atomictikistudio at gmail dot com with any questions or requests.

PRICING

$40 for an inked single-character piece on 8.5 x 11 (or 9 x 12...depending on what I have lying around). Additional figures, email me for a quote. Plan on $5 for Priority Mail shipping if you won't be picking up the piece at the show.

$80 for an inked single character piece on 11 x 17. Again, for additional figures, email me for a quote. And again, $5 for Priority Mail shipping if you won't be picking up the piece at the show.

(ink wash added at artist's discretion...let me know up front if it's something you really, really, really have your heart set on.)

Commission: Bikini Babe

Today's commission had a simple description, "under the vague heading of 'pretty girl in bikini' and leaving it to the artist at that point." With that in mind, I knew I wanted to have some fun with a retro pin-up approach.

Commission: The White Queen

Like yesterday's commission, I'm posting both the line drawing and the tonal version. Today's commission is the White Queen.

8.5 x 11, india ink and Payne's Grey watercolor on bristol board.

New Commission: Zatanna

Here's the first of the Comic-Con preorders, Zatanna. I'm still trying to figure out how to get a good greyscale scan with my new scanner—the original isn't as spotty as this scan looks. I'm also posting the inks because it's clearer to see the linework.

Sketchbook Stuff: A Robert Maguire Study

Playing around in my sketchbook some more. Today's entry is a study of a Robert Maguire piece included in Jim Silke's excellent book Robert Maguire: Dames, Dolls and Gun Molls. Amazing, wonderful stuff.

Another day, more sketching

Another doctor's trip, more work in the sketchbook.

When I draw with colored pencils, I have a tendency to ALWAYS do fully rendered shading. I made a conscious effort to avoid that on this one.

It was a lot of fun!

From the Vault: A Commission

I published this one in the first volume of sketches and drawings I did. It's a commission piece—the only art direction I was given was, and I quote, "Two chicks tattooing each other and include some old-school classic tattoos." I don't know much about tattoos, but this commission provided a fun learning experience.

Plus, I rarely do full-on cheesecake work, so doing this piece was an interesting change of pace.

Over at the Ursula Wilde Production Diary, we have some more character designs.

At the Athena Voltaire Blog, we continue our examination of the series that never was, looking at the covers for the canceled Legend of Mu-King mini-series.
