More and more, I prefer drawings where the characters are actually doing something rather than just posing, but in this case the guy who commissioned the piece gave me a specific pose that he wanted so I worked with that.
Most of the commissions I get these days are for larger pieces but I still love to draw the smaller less complicated pin up type sketches as well. This one is 9x12 which is the size I usually work at cons, just so I don't get bogged down. As you can imagine, the bigger the art, the more complicated and time consuming it is to draw!
