Got this bad boy today in the post:

The picture doesn't do it justice - it's amazing. Better than I was expecting - I certainly never thought i'd get a background. Hope he sticks it up on his blog!

Anyone else had a Lawson commision that they haven't posted here yet?




*The word flipping is brought to you in leiu of the rather ruder word that starts with an 'f' and ends in 'ing'.

[agliarept]

[Buffy]

Looking great!

[Samhain]

Not of fan of his style, but that is an awesome commission. Plus he is like the nicest guy to deal with. Congrats.

[Venom]

What sort of commission did you ask for to get that pic? Turtle-bot, Metalhead, or a Don-Mech? It rocks all the way...hm, wonder what a Metalhead, Turtle-bot showdown would look like?

[Powder]

Holy crap bro my commission from jim came today too! I was going to post a thread just like this... wow. I also did not expect a background or anything like that. Hes the man!

Post it up man!

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

Yeah, post it.

I went to his blog hoping for scans but he hasn't updated in almost two months.

[Powder]

Post it up man!

Ohhhhhh ok.


Like discordia said, I did NOT expect him to go all out. Alot of the pics I see on his blog are a simple character on white.

Just curious but how much are these commissions? Michael Dooney was charging $75 just a bit ago, what does Lawson go for?

50 dollars for one character, 100 for two etc.

[Samhain]

Powder, awesome piece dude!! Lawson is a stand up guy. Making fans happy, thats what its about.

[Buffy]

Wow, that Leo commission looks great too!

[Demon-Alukard]

Jim did this cover for my comic (issue #3) as the present:

discordiatookie, Powder, great pieces too!
Jim Lawson is my all-time favorite TMNT artist =))

[Oculus Orbus]

Man, I love Jim Lawson. His style's just great, and he looks amazing with the duo-tone. I'm thinking about asking for a commission too.

[Kendamu]

Hm. Methinks I should maybe also ask him to do a commission drawing. Maybe Mikey, Raph, or Casey from this sort of angle:

Love it! Loved to see framed art. We should have a thread dedicated to just showing off our art.

[discordiatookie]

Wow, Pow - that's frickin' amazing. I wonder if he was going through a quiet patch, in that he added on so much detail in both. Like I said, I was expecting a white background - I did ask him to put a 'panel border' round it though.

And D.A - I remember that from his blog - its great. The coloured version in your avvie is awesome too...

I asked for a vol 4 style Donatello exo-suit, with mini-Don riding atop/alongside.

I could change the title to - 'New TMNT Art' or something, and everyone can post their previous/new art buys (sketches, original art, commissions, etc) if everyone thinks there's a call for that. It would be kinda neat to have people posting in one place, as opposed to lotsa different threads kicking around. Anyone think there's a need for such a thread? I do!

[Powder]

That'd be cool! If we do it though we should start fresh as to avoid all the in between posts. Also throw it in the collection section maybe?

Yeah great idea! I know myself and a bunch of other members are huge art collectors so that would be cool to have.

[discordiatookie]

So I made the thread over in the collections sub-forum. Check it out!
