To finish with this week, a few wonderful commissions from a few wonderful comic types…
“This was a fun commission to do. Judge Dredd as Obelix. I’m a huge fan of the Asterix & Obelix books. The brief was for a cartoony style and colour palette, so very different from my usual stuff. Acrylic on canvas.”
John McCrea – maker of some wonderful commissions – such as this…

And finally – a rather spectacular commission from Duncan Fegredo from 2021:
“I don’t normally do commissions but then the last year has hardly been normal. Based on Neil Gaiman’s Sandman: Brief Lives, final art is acrylic gouache, 20×30 inches. I doubt I’ll ever do anything like this again, don’t ask!”
Rough pencils, tonal block in, colour test, and the finished work…
