atomic tiki studio august 2011 skip to main skip to sidebar tuesday august 30 2011 commission rocketeer to the rescue i ve said it a hundred of times and i ll say it a hundred more times i never get tired of drawing the rocketeer here s the description for today s commission here s what i was thinking a scene where rocketeer comes crashing in through a window skylight etc while betty is tied up or chained to a wall like girls in pulp books tended to be maybe in torn clothing however you want to have fun with it this one presented a challenge in that it s tough to fit in both figures and the setting and create a sense of dynamicism my solution was to put the point of view on one of the characters obviously having the hero big is best but the compositions i was came up with him in the foreground were shots over cliff s shoulder or behind him which makes for a great shot of the jetpack but not a good shot of the rocketeer putting betty in the foreground gave us a dynamic composition and a front view of the rocketeer even if he was smaller i tried to punch him up by adding some dynamic blacks and having all of the breaking glass radiating around him hopefully this creates a focus on him even if he s not the large figure i usually stay away from any implication of sex bondage in commissions but the bound betty in this piece works for two reasons 1 as the commissioner says it reflects the pulps of the era and 2 it s a winking acknowledgment of betty page s actual background which dave stevens acknowledged throughout the series and the buddy commission surgery fun drive

commissions i just had to clear some assignments out before finishing more of these look for more commissions plus some other new work on this blog in the coming weeks today s commission features the legion of superheroes karate kid sparring with lady shiva the description was these are two of the best martial artists of all time so i think it would be a great fight the only thing i ask is that neither character is shown as clearly winning this presented a really fun challenge i didn t want either character to have their backs to us and i wanted neither in the foreground overshadowing the other my compositional instincts led me to stacking the characters with shiva leaping kicking while karate kid punches ducks both characters are untouched but thwarted evenly matched i added in the graphic of the yin yang symbol to drive home the concept of balance the buddy commission surgery fun drive continues information below pricing 40 for an inked single character piece on 8 5 x 11 or 9 x

thursday august 4 2011 post sdcc pre wizard world commissions and dog surgery most people that follow me on twitter or facebook have heard this so i apologize for repeating myself about a half hour after my flight landed in san diego for comic con a couple of weeks back i got a call from my dog s veterinarian buddy my pooch needed emergency surgery due to a twisted stomach and bloat i was devastated to hear that the procedure had a 30 50 mortality rate thankfully he made it through in good health yay and is on the road to recovery see photos his stitches and him in a t shirt to prevent chewing on the stitches the surgery and health care cost almost 2 000 the long and short of it is that i ll be doing commissions for the forseeable future if you re interested here are the details
