Customer asked for a full-figure version of IRON FIST 8's cover.

Approx. 11x17 inches



(This is not as simple as it sounds. As the "extended" versions of panels in
OHOTMU often reveal, when a character is cropped, the artist -- me
included -- does not always pay attention to how the rest of the body would
work. And why should s/he? It's getting the best out of what's IN the shot
that matters!)

LOVE Iron Fist! Watta great image. Gold.
I appreciate how you make the figure work in this pose,
balance-wise. You make it look so easy/natural.
Simply excellent.
The K'un L'un Kid, man! The dragon scar here is the perfect, definitive design. Some artists get all artsy on it but this is the way it looks.

Iron Fist fans should be pleased to note that as of this image he joins the
select few who have grown a second line on the Commission Count chart.
