Actually, that's one of my favorite JB commissions.  I see the guy added the bands on Mar-Vell.  Rather than searching for some fresh-sounding invective for his actions, I'll just leave it at "a picture tells a thousand words."

Not cool!

I guess the customer hired another board member to draw him a copy, yes?

Isn't the swipe drawn by our very own Anthony Castrillo?

Anyway, I think it's poor tact on the part of the customer.

Lame.

 

It'd be one thing if he'd commissioned a new, similar illo of the Captains, but this...

There's some undecypherable writing on the left border. What is it ?

++

Someone beat me to it.  If the guy paid for it and then commisioned Mac to do another sketch with the nega bands, sure.  The way it stands now?  Lame in the least.  Very dissapointing.

What does that say on his new version on the side of the drawing?

What an asshole.  Nice commission, too.  I liked that one.

JB, did the commissionee agree to the original version Mar-Vel before you accpeted the commission?

JB -

Would it be worth the time and money to develop a system that requires references from those requesting commission work?  Perhaps something similar to E-bay's feedback system?  A close (and trusted) friend of yours could take this project on so you can concentrate on the artwork!

I saw this on CAF site a week or so ago, and it just confused the heck out of me. You'd turn the drawing down because the wrist bans are missing ... to each his own I guess.

Wonderful drawing BTW JB!!

I like the commission. It's an interesting idea.

So if I'm understanding this right(and please correct me if I'm wrong, whoever commissioned this), you ask for someone to draw you a picture, you then turn it down and don't pay for it but make a trace copy of it and put V2 at the bottom to ackowledge this?
