Probably some sort of Commission-My Goon Commission

I don't know if Kirby could have pulled off Spiderman given a little time. But you can really see this as a style that didn't match up well.
It made me think about Kirby and lithe characters.
Didn't do a lot of them did he?
 This took about 8 hours.
Selling it for an agreed 150 bucks.
Twice what I'll make as a maintenance engineer tomorrow.
So can't complain.
Man-I hate to work big-11by17
Kirby would have done it in 2 hours.

Wow! This looks stupendous!!

Really impressed with how it came out.

More tomorrow...I just had to tell you (and out bog reading public) how much I dig it before I go to bed... (been down in San Diego drawing opera--with Joe Sanabria!).

You and Joe sketching the scene. Sounds like a good time.

That came out wonderfully Ellis! I wish I could hire you to do private commissions for me all day every day!

MrGoodson2 said...

Thanks Tom. It actually is grueling. I need to make it easier by doing big finished art whether I'm being commissioned or not.

I think I turned 60 and decided I'm entitled to complain non-stop.

How else are you going to become a crotchety old man unless you start early and practice often?

Davis Chino said...

Apparently "crotchety old men" can repost their crotchety comments over and over...;)

Ha! Now your comment will make no sense to future internet archaeologists that chance upon this website a thousand years from now!
