FINAL WONDERWOMAN ~ ZANTANNA on the TRACKS and GENTLEMAN PREFER CRAZIES (BLONDES) PIECES. FINALLY.

WonderWoman ~ Zantanna on the Tracks

This piece was very fun, much like the Cheetah's Revenge piece for K.T., and yet another piece for K.T. that we both have enjoyed. I cannot help but picture the greasy, suited, and top-hatted bad guy twirling his mustache off camera. Some childhood memories can only be understood by those who share them. And on to the show…

Gentleman Prefer Crazies  Poison Ivy ~ Harley Quinn

Monte suggested that Drew take the classic 'Gentleman Prefer Blondes' poster idea to the extreme. Good plan, great execution. With a few inside jokes, and a lot of skill, Drew knocked this out of the park. Lots of fun to work on, thanks to Monte for providing fun - and lettering on the board. Have I told you how much I enjoy lettering on the board?

Thanks to everyone who's joined in, and followed the progress. I'm off to work on the 'Shadow of Oz' cards, and 'Terminator: Enemy of my Enemy'. We'll be back as soon as we get the chance, and we love you all for following.

And the Window is Closed.

Best,

Ray

WonderWoman - Zantanna, Poison Ivy - Harley Quinn Update number 5!

Hello, all! So close, almost done! I'll be finishing up on these commissions soon. It's been very fun, and very cathartic. I've enjoyed revisiting our time on WonderWoman, as well as visiting two of the most important and intriguing Batman villains. I love working with Drew, and hopefully we'll be getting back together soon. That being said, on to the commissions…

Off to work on the Shadow of Oz cards. There is no sleep for an illustrator!

WonderWoman - Zantanna, Poison Ivy - Harley Quinn Update number 4

I've been thumbnailing the Shadow of Oz tarot card art today, but made great progress on the commission window art. It's been great working over Drew's awesome art, and pencilling my own work. The great thing about working with Drew is that we sometimes both work as teacher and student. Drew has taught me so much about storytelling, and I'm very thankful for that. On to the update…

I'm still 'loving' lettering on the board. Can you tell how much I 'love' lettering? Just saying.

THE WINDOW OPEN - UPDATE 3 (?)

Greeting, all! Here's the update for WonderWoman - Zantanna on the Tracks, and Gentleman Prefer Crazies with Poison Ivy - Harley Quinn. It's such a pleasure to work on these, and I still 'love' inking lettering on the board. I admire letterers so much more when I have to try their craft.

I think that I made good progress, considering that I had class tonight. Teaching is still new to me, and I'm learning every day. It's great that young children are interested in sequential storytelling, and my students are awesome.

Following you will find my progress:

I'll update again tomorrow!

FIRST INKS TO THE WINDOW FOR K.T. AND M.B.

My progress for the day on the WonderWoman-Zantanna and Poison Ivy-Harley Quinn pieces. I just got the update on instructions for the Kickstarter project "Shadow of Oz", but I'll soldier on with the commissions. And away we go…

THE WINDOW IS OPEN!

It has been quite a while since I last visited the window, and it's nice to be back. I have three issues remaining on TERMINATOR: Enemy of My Enemy, but with an empty desk today, I've decided to try and squeeze in time for commissions.
I'll be trying something new, two commissions at one time. One commission will be inked over the original pencils, and the other over blue-line scans. So on to the pieces…

Gentlemen Prefer Crazies - Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn

The WonderWoman - Zantanna piece is for K.T., and the Poison Ivy - Harley Quinn is for M.B.. Oh, the joy of inking lettering on the board! Off to work, my friends.

Best,

Ray

Announcement!

  Hi All---

  Just wanted to post a heads up----I haven't been posting commission work for a bit because I've begun taking on freelance assignments again.
  This means I'll have less time to devote to commission work.  I'll still be posting work on commissions that are on the current list as I am able to work on them, so stay tuned.  If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at graphitemonkey@yahoo.com.
  My next commission will be Olivia's Scarlett and Snake Eyes.  I hope to start work on it next week.
  In the meantime---Thanks as always for your support and for stopping by The Window.  I hope you're all doing great, and I'll see you back here soon.
