Forgot to mention the technical data. Except for the gun and a small bit of
machinery by Doom's right arm, this is all freehand with the PITT brush pen.
No perspective grid on this one, either. Decided to "go Kirby" and fake it.

John
Have you ever drawn a piece and afterwards said to yourself, I'm not sure if I can top that?

JB, after you read the description for a commission, how long does it usually take for you to see the finished image in your head?

Wow, really wonderful piece. I love everything about it. Special mention for the background of course. It would be a great Marvel poster indeed. I would certainly hang it in my bedroom and feel 12 again.

One of the ways I decide whether I want to do a particular request is if I immediately see a "snapshot" of it in my head. If I don't, it usually means I am not inspired, or the customer is trying to "write" the piece too much.

This is a great commission; i'd love to see it in person. Is this the start of a villain inspired run; Darkseid should be up soon as I recall.
