Description
Well...Here they are at last! I took so much time finishing these up, that I really hope the love and energy I've put into making them is worth the sour wait.
I've finally sent the links to the files to all of you who commissioned me and a big THANKS! goes your way for making this happen. I learnt a lot during the huge process of doing these pieces and they were quite challenging and got me off my comfort zones more than a few times.
B&W has also proved to be one of my favourite mediums and I hope I can return to it as often as I can...
So, here I show you some of my favourite pieces, which in no way mean the ones left under wraps are not as good. It's just personal preference. Here we have:
The Emperor
Ciaphas Cain
Nisk Ran-Thawll (of the Mentors Legion)
Hawkman
Green Lantern
Zatanna
Thor
Deadpool
Barbarian (and RPG character)
The Masked Shrike
Pulp Fantasy Detective
The Scarlet Specter
The Mechanic
Spock and Uhura
Brainstorm and Shade
Some of these you'll recognise right away I reckon. Some you won't, as they're original characters and exclusive creations.
All of them , though, I had a great time drawing and I thank you once more for the opportunity you all gave me. My son will always know that his future was helped by this great community.
Let me know what you think and until soon!

These are all great. Love how you did Emperor on the top. Despite being dead, it doesn't prevent him having Bruce Campbell chin of manliness. XD

how do i commission a work from you? and do you have a rate, or is each piece custom priced?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, mate, these were a special offer I had going for a while, but it's closed now. I do take on regular colour commissions or these B&W too, but hit me up with a Note and we'll discuss exactly what it is you're looking for and adjust the pricing according to that.
Thanks for the interest!

well i deffinatly appreciate the response. ive never commissioned any artwork before. but your style is very cool and they way you do 40k stuff is very inspirational.
im not sure how to start, if you want to know what i would like, then i was hoping for a 40k peice, the first time i encountered 40k was Dan Abbnett's Dead Sky Black Sun novel. since then ive been into 40k and i like the Uriel Ventris Story a lot. So maybe something with him and Pasanius kickn butt would be what i want.
as far as prices, id have to see how you charge, by size, or color/ B&W.

I still don't get over the Emperor. I mean ? I knew he would be much of a beauty after 10.000 Years in the golden Throne ? but actually seeing him like this ? ist sooo disillusioning.

The one of the Emperor is horrifying; which is the intended effect as I'm am shocked and awed.
Where's Mr. Cain's mutton chops?! Or did the guy who commissioned you specify not to include them?
Thor and Deadpool are always awesome!
This is a great collection here.

Oh my GOSH! I was originally worried about how Brainstorm and Shade might come out, but I'm blown away! Perfect! I adore the way they look. It's exactly the way I imagined it, but better. Fantastic work!
Oh, and nice work on the other stuff too. I like Deadpool and Ciaphas Cain a lot.

I love how you've used BW media and created character busts with it. It's so often underused, but solid black ink can create such wonderful results.

Gonna have to say Deadpool is my favorite one, then again I'm biased, lol.

Holy crap I love this I absolutely and utterly love this. Posing, style, characters, art itself, everything is just flawlessly perfect and visually pleasing to me

That and I squealed when I saw the Spock and Uhura picture X3

Cain is just Perfect.
As for the Emperor... I allways imagined that if you'd open up the Golden Throne the guy sitting there would have Ash William's face
The Pulp Detective is great too.

You know, you had me with Deadpool, then you added Thor, the God-Emperor, Caiphas Cain, Green Lantern, Zatanna, Hawkman, and my day just became a bit brighter

I really like bust of the Emperor, its more or less exactly what I think of when I think of the golden thrown.
I also like your Cain, I have yet to read the Cain books, but its on my need to read list.
Also, Zatanna + Magical Tentacle = Awesome!

Once agin you've not disapointed and; as I'm sure everyone who's been waiting for their piece...there is no sourness in the process as these are something special.
Cheers again
