Commissions: ROUND THREE.


I can't believe I've never drawn Death before. I drew Delirium for the SDCC souvenir book a few years ago, but never Death. Or any of the other Endless, actually. It might be fun to do a whole lineup someday...

HORDES of commissions this time around, folks. I can't thank you enough for all the requests. (But here's one at least: THANK YOU!) I posted a couple of my favorites below, but you can see a few more in the commissions gallery (including, oddly enough, a drawing of noted action transvestite Eddie Izzard).



Black Canary came out best, I think. Surprised the hell out of me!

If you'd like to commission your own famous DC comic character sketch (or, y'know, something NOT owned by the Time/Warner corporation), send your requests to serenity@heartshapedskull.com. The base price is $50, and $30 for each additional character on the same page.

And since I'm shilling my wares...

Did you know nearly every page of Serenity Rose Vol. 2 is currently available in the Heart Shaped Shop? SR Vol. 2 pages are $50, the dwindling supply of SR Vol. 1 pages are $30 each, and all the Kimmie66 pages are $20 (they're kinda small). There's some other stuff in there, too, every stitch of it perfect for gift-giving. I'm sure some sort of holiday is coming up... In fact, it's the Gofflin's birthday on Friday. Why not buy my wife the gift of her husband's artwork, to hang on the wall of the home we share? It's gotta be better than the crap I bought!

BTW, we're probably going to go watch Iron Man and have tapas. Consider that a sort of advance "twitter" in blog form.

Thanks again for all the great commission requests! I've already got some cool stuff lined up for next time, but don't be afraid to send some more:

That has to be just about the best Death I've seen! Damn but I do love your style.

Wow I love Death and her body is just so adorable! Where is she from?

Death is a character from Neil Gaiman's absolutely incredible fantasy-horror-and-everything-else comic series, Sandman. Here's a wiki link.

You should definitely check it out. Anyone who likes my stuff would just LOVE Sandman. (It being one of my biggest inspirations and all.)

Oh my god, adorable! Seriously, that is the best Death EVER. I just keep looking at her and smiling.

God, I'm such a nerd.

Best. Death. Ever. And I don't even know where she's from, but she just looks SO COOL here.

That Death is SO AWESOME.

Excuse me while I go off and melt into a puddle of fanboi-ish glee.

Cake or Death? I loved your Eddie Izzard! I'm going to see him in 2 weeks, and I'm quite excited.

Aw... I didn't even realize he was touring his stand-uppy stuff again. I bet all the tickets are long gone at this point.

You poor thing. If you want to catch him some other time I think he tends to do standup between tours in SF when he's filming "The Riches, or at least that's what I've heard.

If you want to look for tickets here are the dates, they haven't all sold out. Unfortunately this tour is going to be done sans boobs, he's going for a more male look at the moment.

That Eddie Izzard gave me such a good laugh. I love it! Though, I dunno, your Death makes the choice of "Cake or Death?" more difficult than intended.... (:

I don't know much about Black Canary, but, that's a good scream! Seriously, your way of doing facial expressions consistently astounds me... I don't know how many times I've looked at one of your drawings and thought "I've seen someone make that exact face." Not like hyper-realism, but... a really excellent fidelity in the transmission from emotion to someone's facial expression to lines on paper, somehow. I don't know. You're great! *fangirl burble*
