Denver Comic Con Part Three

Denver Comic Con had those nice big tables so I could really stretch.  At this point I can fill a table of any size, so it's mostly a matter of trying to minimize my work into a careful arrangement, and a lot of decision making about what material to show and what to remove permanently from the table.  The last two years I have been letting much of my early prints and books run out and disappear, and that's a nice feeling.

This was a different commission for me.

Usually when art is commissioned from me, it is owing to an interest in my art style or personality.

Is this one random?  Oh well, Darkwing Duck, hey, he's rad.  I'll draw him any day.

Some of my favorite cosplayers from this day.  Say what you will,

Venus DeMilo is a cool looking ninja turtle. Also, creepy Skull Kid, Flash Thompson Venom with Asuka (she's rad), and a wicked cool Warpath and Dani Moonstar.

Here are my two favorite commissions from DCC 2014.  The first one is Shipwreck from Gi Joe who is sort of a weird character in that the cartoon treated him like a joke, while the comics treat him as a capable Navy roughneck.  His '85 filecard even mentions time spend at Gitmo and fighting Mekong Delta insurgents so I wanted to portray him in action, giving him a Navy issue firearm.

It was actually made for a local cosplayer who brought the whole family out... you can see him here.

The second one is Barbara Gordon, which was made for a young woman who is a local librarian here and a big fan of Babs.

 Both great fun.

Denver Comic Con 2014 Part One

There is so much happening at this con that I don't even know where to begin.  This event has taken sleep deprivation and exhaustion to a whole new level for me.

For now I leave you this.
