11" x 17" illustration of Wolverine in his Brown costume, no backgrounds. The details are:

- please draw him without his mask, holding or smoking a cigar, and with claws shown.

Similar feel as the following commission:

WOW! Way to fill the page, Chief! Lots of visual clues about this character on the page. Congrats to the owner, you have a great commission.

Yup.  No Hugh Jackman 'pretty boy' action going on here!

Wolverine is a hairy, gruff and raw little fellow who (should) look like someone you wanna give a wide berth.  The look on his face, the hairy arms and the confident, casual posture say plenty about him here.

I also appreciate how even in this crouched pose, he looks like he is all of 5 feet, 5 inches tall.  So many artists seem to lose sight of this and draw him feeling every bit of 6 feet and up.

Great work!  You continue to own this character in a way one one else could.

Now that's Wolverine!  Bloody iconic, I say.
And that is also filling the page out.  Is that gray-tone I see for the arm hair, or is that a scanning artifact?

Greg:  to paraphrase Sarah Silverman:  Why does he do it?  Because he's classy!

Congrats to the commissioner!

Great visual appeal here, JB! This piece gives me the feeling of a satisfied Wolverine just finishing a grueling workout in the danger room or on someones face!

I'm torn whenever I ask for a Wolverine commission (and no, this one isn't
mine, though I wish it were!) and need to decide on whether or not to have
him masked. Because I just love the curvature that you added to the mask
(my personal belief is that subtle tweak aided in his rise in popularity), but at
the same time, nobody else draws Logan's face better than you. In fact, this
may be the best Logan I've seen you do, ever.
