scans_dailyA couple weeks ago I received a pretty great Christmas package from Mitch Ballard, including one commission and a surprise present (I found that incredibly generous). :)
The present was his take on the (rather famous) image from George Perez, showing Dick Grayson's way from Robin to Nightwing (unfortunately, I can't find a scan from the original image on my pc at the moment, sorry). Anyway, he replaced DiscoWing with the 'modern' Nightwing.
As for the commission... last year I started a new theme: Robin The Boy Hostage pieces based on old (but brilliant!) covers from the Hardy Boys novels (icon_uk posted a lot of them here). Up to now, I got one commission from Mitch and one from Greg Kirkpatrick, which I hadn't posted yet, and I'm pretty happy with both of them! :)
Based on the 'Mystery of the Melted Coins' novel:
A~and one of my favourites (speaking of the covers, not the novels themselves), the 'Mystery of the Whale Tattoo':
I apologize for the bad image quality here... I couldn't use my scanner and had to use a photo instead. What I really love about this one is Greg's idea to replace the crowd with Teen Titans members. The image is probably too blurred, but there are Golden Eagle, Bumbleebee, Hawk & Dove, Flamebird, Mal Duncan, Aqualad, Speedy, Aquagirl, Wonder Girl, Starfire, Changeling, Cyborg, Raven and Kid Flash around the Ferris Wheel.
