Breaking down a recent Wonder Woman Commission.

When the seasons changed, I thought things would slow down here in the studio. I figured I’d finally have time to catch up on some long-overdue house projects, update the website, organize old files, and tackle the endless list of things that always seem to get pushed aside.

Instead, I’m just as busy as ever.

I’m getting ready for several fall releases, working through a growing list of commissions, and even squeezed in an unexpected convention invitation. At this point, the closest thing I get to relaxing is sitting down at the drawing board and making art.

With that in mind, here’s a recent Wonder Woman commission.

I wanted to take a different approach and imagine an older Diana leading the charge against Apokolips in what could very well be her final battle. The original commission was an 11 × 17 inch ink drawing, but I couldn’t resist taking it a step further. I added color and designed a ‘What-If’ cover to fully bring this version of Wonder Woman to life.

I added some trade dress, logos to flesh out the idea.
