Thanks! Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of detail he put into this one. I saw new stuff for quite some time each time I looked at it. Which was a lot yesterday. Totally made my Monday! I'm definitely going to do business with him again in the future.

Yay, more Halloween stuff! This is another piece from Scruffyronin who did a great job with Goblin Queen before. Think I'll end up hitting him for every character I have.. and I have like 30 something. Le sigh.



I love the background work and the jack-o-lanterns! He did an interesting take on Mister Halloween. The thin body, raggedy sewn together clothing, the hat, etc. are great. This is the first time Mister Halloween has been done with a real mask, where you can see the eyes and mouth underneath. Kind of Joker-ish to me and I wasn't sure how I'd like it but I do, especially the more I look at it. It's a nice variation!

Very nice! I'm really liking this one, going to have to look up the artist myself! They do a great job of putting in a ton of background with minimal effort on this and it works great.

As for the mask issue. I think this could be either or... I don't think it would stand out as wrong no matter which dominated the arts of him...

Happy Halloween everyone!

This is my next to last Mister Halloween commission for the season. This one done by BragaDoom. I'm definitely going to hit him up for more of this art style.



I love this piece. Love the colors, the pose, the stitches on his gloves, the cape and jack-o-lantern - all of it!

Very cool piece and another artist to add to my watch! And hey, just 'cause Halloween is almost past doesn't mean he has to be mothballed for a year...

Hehe. Well it just allows me to focus on my other characters for art commissions. If I don't do a hard stop on myself then I'll just keep getting Mister Halloween done! That's not to say that I won't get "just one more" if I find the perfect artist for him between now and next season.

Glad you like it and the artist. He was great to work with!

Squee! Got my first rhardo piece. Feels like being fully initiated in the CoH Fan Art Club for some reason.



I think it's pure win. Love the pose and expression and as usual with his work, the texturing is so different and almost realistic looking. Love it!

That's a sexy piece.

That is an amzing piece GQ! It has a D&D novel cover feel to me! I'd read that book too!

While it's more "gift artz" than "paid commission" you can
totally blame me for botching up your hard stop.

But hey it's only "just one more" right? Mwhahaha.



Click! Click!

P.S. That Rhardo looks totally sweet.
I love this new style he's adopted recently.

So awesome! I'm OK with getting more - in fact I have.. I think two more Halloween pieces still outstanding so they'll be trickling in. :P Thanks again!

You can absolutely always count on Rhardo for quality!

Now for something completely different!



Wolvtrun ran an After Bath special and I figured it'd be a great and unique and fun set up for Goblin Queen. I went a bit crazy and asked for a lot of specifics in my background so I ended up paying more than what the special's rate was going for but I think it was well worth it!

I asked for goblins handing Goblin Queen her armor, wanted a cave scene with skull candles and spiders and bats handing her other bits - a towel and her crown.

I agree, they really are vibrant colors. I love how different it is and even tho it's vibrant there are still spiders, bats, skulls and goblins all around!

And yeah the little goblin with the bugged out eyes is priceless! Haha

Here are my new Jean Sinclaird pieces.

The Enchanter - I'm going to start ramping up the collection for this character and this is a great new addition to said collection.



Mister Halloween - There was some miscommunication here but it was a happy error in the end. Jean took on one of Mister Halloween's forms - the Mummy. I'll probably get him to do each one of Mister Halloween's forms eventually. There are a lot tho!



For the sake of reference for the Mummy form there is a Halloween lineup here:

Daggerpoint is awesome.I'd love to get some of his work someday.

This piece I'm extremely excited about! It's the piece I wanted to end Mister Halloween's commissions on until next Fall (so I can focus on other characters) and it's the perfect art for that. It was a labor of love with a lot of work from both myself and the artist as there was a lot of back and forth with the feedback and what I wanted the final piece to be. I ended up having to make a few edits on the final image but I don't think I butchered it too bad.

The artist is exceptionally talented and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her for her talent and for her ability to manage with my constant flow of ideas and requests!

You really need to click on the image and look at the big version to see all the details. The big version is actually still a lot smaller than the final piece but it's as big as deviantART will allow. You can download the full size from there however.

GQ! I really love how you've been shaping your collection! I most especially love the creativity of your final piece for Mr. Halloween by TheSteampunker! This is definitely the standing Masterpiece of your Mr. Halloween collection!!
