Green Lantern Commission

I don't do fan commissions very often, because I rarely have the time...I always figure that if I have time to do a commission, I have time to do another page of whatever book I happen to be working on. I also rarely draw superheroes. So that makes this piece a rarity in at least two ways. But this particular fan really wanted my take on Green Lantern, and was willing to pay handsomely, so who am I to say no? I left him waiting about six months, though, because I'm that busy. Still, I'm happy with the way it turned out, so here it is, for all to see:

Whenever I do stuff in two-colour, people always say it reminds them of my buddy Mike Cho, which I take as a compliment. I just want to state for the record, though, that I was doing two-colour when Mike was in short-pants. Although he's a lot better at it than I am (shhh...don't tell him, though!)

That is a pretty awesome GL piece!

Michael Cho said...

ha! That's flattering -and when I do two-colour I always get compared to Darwyn. Sometimes you just can't win, buddy.

Well, I'd say we're both in good company, then.

Thanks for stoppin in, Mike.

That looks GREAT... and speaking of commission type stuff... [smirk]

(PS: I actually just got that nice "Days Like This" page back from the framing shop today... hanging in good company right near some Allred and Bachalo)

Hmm.. I'm going to have to get that page from Northwest Passage up.

wow and re:wow. Love Green Lantern. That 'cosmopolitan' attitude. Beatiful piece, man.

And uh...I wish I could write english as well as you all do.
