Description Did this recently as a commission for someone. Every time I draw one of Mike's characters I always think he must be a masochist the way he designs costumes...They're so freaking detailed! I would go nuts if I had to draw this every panel! That said, I actually did enjoy drawing this...Hope you guys like!

Thank you very much! I love drawing hair...Its taken a while to get good at it, and I still feel like I have a long ways to go, but I'm glad you like! And yeah, the costume is a little tough to get right...There's just so much detail involved!!

It's great! We love the hair.
Are you a student, a professional artist??? Do you work as an artist currently? Maybe we could hire you for a project... we just wanted to know...

Anyway, we really like your work. Just love that hair.

Thank you! Yes, I am a professional freelance artist, primarily working for Aspen Comics the past 3 years or so. I definitely appreciate the offer for work, and if there is something specific that comes up that you have in mind let me know, but for right now I'm completely swamped and just trying to meet the deadlines that I have for the comic work that I do Thanks again!

Well, the art community then thanks you for sharing your beautiful talent with us. Always pleasing to see your stuff posted. It seems you are mistaken, calling yourself Leonardo's "untalented" son- you're very very talented.

Well, I put that statement there to cancel out the ridiculously arrogant moniker that I've given myself I don't think I'm anything special as far as artists go, but thanks for the kind words!

It's good that you keep yourself humble- I suppose it's human nature to be turned off by too much pride- even when it's well-deserved, but we think your name fits you well. "Son of DaVinci"

I think when it come to Mike work detail is everything. I think it's utter madness that he been draws with such detail. I'm in wonder how he layout his illustrations. I sometimes ask myself does he go mad with an eraser.

When it comes to your work you are always slackin off some where lol. Well my compliment for today is you did a wonderful job on the hair and body. Thou I'm kinda curious on your dramatic selection for the pose lol. Anyway good job!

My "Dramatic selection for the pose"? Not sure what you mean by that but I'm guess that means you don't like it Ah well, they can't all be winners! Thanks for the kind words though

articbreath In reply to MicahJGunnell [2008-05-02 15:03:27 +0000 UTC]

Whoops... I guess I was wondering in Wonderland again while writing. I was curious about the pose you selected. Usually I find that you use more dramatic poses so this is rather the firt time I seen you go with something soft and blend well with the soft background. I found it very interesting. Hope that clears up what I was trying to say.

Haha...Thats cool man. Actually the guy I was drawing this for wanted to use it as a tattoo on his upper arm, so I wanted to make sure I used a pose that would fit well vertically...thats basically what it came down to. And I wanted to do something a little different than what I normally do.
