My haul aka commissioned art time!!!



Of course with Art Baltazar and Franco there I cannot resist more Tiny Titan art. So I had to go with the obvious pair I didn't get last time but wanted:

The next piece I commissioned was from the same artist who did my Shredder sketch at C2E2, Josh Warner. This time I chose a character from TMNT he hadn't drawn yet, the Foot (Shredder) Elite:

Next I got this idea from this past C2E2 from a friend who had Perry the Platypus as Wolverine by Tom Hodges. I thought long and hard of who his arch nemesis should be. In the end only one choice came into mind:


Dr. Doofenshmirtz as Doc Ock by ~Schwartzwald on deviantART

I so very much love that Mr. Hodges used the entire cover for Doc Doof Ock's arms.

Staying in that villainous mood I went to Jason Metcalf (penciler/inker) and Jeff Balke (colorist) for this next piece:

I loved the end result I had to get one more sketch out of them since my attempt to get Huberto Ramos to draw one failed hard. But before that.. my predictable Cass commission was first and this one I wanted Steph and Cass hugging. I would have linked to mine but the artist herself, Ashley Poit, actually did a better job and scanned it :P

This one I'm a bit disappointed not because of the actual art but I wanted it larger. The artist is fantastic, J. Christopher Schmidt. It's just I kind of wanted a much larger Harley sketch and he did it via his sketch pad with colors (they didn't come out in the scan but he did color this sketch). If I seem him again I'm getting a bigger Harley pic cause he knocked this one out of the park and the whole point was getting a nice big Harley pic framed:

For my final piece, like I stated before I wanted Huberto Ramos to draw a Roderick Kingsley Hobgoblin sketch, but alas the V.I.P.s and other fans got to him and onto his list all four days before I could. So his loss was Metcalf's gain as I went back to him for the Hobby sketch and again with Balke coloring.



Hobgoblin by ~Schwartzwald on deviantART


Honestly, I have to say I was disappointed with WWC (so not a fan of the wristband), and for trades it sucked. Single issues were great. But I hungered to nab some Bendis Daredevil due to cyberghostface's posts on it. But I did nab me most of Bendis's Ultimate Kingpin stories so it wasn't a total loss.

These sketches really made up for the four days I was there. Sure it was nice getting stuff CGCed (Cass's first appearance and first issue) signed by Damion Scott and Hobby's first appearance (which I nabbed and got it CGCed. I don't really need to read it since I own Origin of the Hobgoblin and will be buying it again come December and later this month or next when it's reprinted).

Back to Scott, he was a real nice guy and just watching him sketch was awesome (he did two of Cass, one of Batman and Robin, and one Spidey). Okay I visited his booth a lot those four days cause I wanted him to sign all the Batgirl and Robin stuff he did. Plus get two issues (again Cass's first appearance and her first issue) signed by him.
