Description Update 6/29/12: Per the request of Miss Smith, she was pleased overall with the original. However she did ask if I could 1.) lighten her skin complexion, 2.) lighten her lips to almost the color of her powers, and 3.) make her hair look like Kim Kardashian's. I'm glad that she did ask me to go back and change some things, as I realize just how lackluster the original was! I changed all of those things she requested as well as straightened out a few other things that were a little wonky. This looks MUCH better!

Well, here's my first official paid commission!!! After showing some of my co-workers my artwork, my friend/co-worker Tomika wanted me to draw her as a superheroine and offered to pay cash money for my work! She gave me free reign over everything, the only rule that she set was that I had to make her BAD...not a bad guy, but SEXY BAAAAAAD

So I introduce to everyone Turbulence!!! Turbulence is a mild, mannered server by day and metapowered crime-fighter at night! Turbulence has the ability to manipulate kinetic energy, creating powerful force blasts from her body as well as she can create a force field around her body to protect her from extreme harm. She also has above-average strength, speed, and can also fly! Evil doers and criminals beware...Turbulence will put a' hurtin' on ya and look good while kickin' that ass!!!

I was gonna name her "Twerk". For those of you that don't know, according to the Urban Dictionary "Twerk" means to to work one's body, as in dancing, especially the rear end. The story behind that is that a bunch of us went out to a club right up the block from where we work for another co-worker's going away party. Tomika was "twerkin' it" on the dance floor and shakin' I was amazed, for Tomika is usually mild mannered, but she was gettin' it on that dance floor...needless to say, I was VERY impressed and entranced by the shaking of her derriere! But, I instead went with the Turbelence idea!

The pose came out a bit stiff, and I actually switched a lot of things from the original pencils. I had her wearing a visor, plus her hair was poofier...however Tomika later told me that she wanted for her hair to be long and flowing. (That was my fault...I asked her how did she want her hair after the fact ) But, there are some aspects of this piece that I really like how they came out...like her eyes and her vuluptuousness! And the moon and cloud came from brushes that I downloaded from here on DA...the Moon is Blue b/c the name of the restaurant where Tomika and I (used to) work is called Blue Moon Pizza!

I sure hope she likes it...she wants to blow this up, frame it, and put it on her wall in her house. I'm cool with that and I think I might start opening up commissions up on the regular just to help supplement my income a bit!

Turbulence, she can rock my plane any day.

Sweet pic, Marcus. I think I have to commission you for some of my newer ladies.

Nice work man. Congrats on your first paid work! It feels good doesn't it? Sounds like you and your co-workers have a good relationship man. That's always a plus.

Thanks Barry! It does feel good indeed! If only I were good enough to get consistent commission work on a regular basis...that would make for a nice little side hustle!

And yeah, this particular co-worker is one of my buddies! If she didn't have a dude, I would consider giving her a holler! She's mad cool, plus she really does have nice "assets" like I drew her with!

Your welcome man. I know you'll get there. Your art is improving with every picture you post.

Unfortunately, she has a dude already...when we first started working together, I had a girlfriend and she was single. But by the time my ex and I broke up, she got a boyfriend. Oh well!

She looks pretty nice overall. Quite the sexy face and skin tone you've gone with. But that glow effect on her fists makes them look smaller than perhaps what you'd want.

Mr-Marcus-81 In reply to Dualmask [2012-06-04 01:03:00 +0000 UTC]

Thanks JP! Per her request, I'm gonna go back and make a few changes to this...namely her hairstyle (women )and her skin tone (she wants me to lighten her up just a tad...personally I love this chocolate tone).

And the glow on the hands are kinda on purpose...you know they're my weakness, but she doesn't know that! So I threw the glow on there to hide the fact that I didn't draw any fingers on them! I know...it's cheating!

Dualmask In reply to Mr-Marcus-81 [2012-06-04 03:45:57 +0000 UTC]

The customer's always right. Being willing to make those kinds of changes is part of what will make a great freelance artist out of you--as long as you don't become too much of a doormat.

And yes, that is cheating. Especially since fingers aren't all that hard to draw...and now the whole world knows what your weakness is! You must move beyond your limits! Your next mission is to fill two sheets of 8.5x11" paper--both sides--with nothing but hand drawings. Start here . Do it!
