Panelfan1 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) What is your dream comission by a living artist (s)? Who would it be and what would it be of? And/or If you got a dream comission by a non living comic artist - who and what might it be? Edited July 11, 2017 by Panelfan1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eewwnuk Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 My dream commission was in progress but now may never happen. Detective 27 recreation by norm breyfogle. Layouts were done unfortunately it may not be completed due to his stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was planning on commissioning John to do it shortly before he passed away but then he got sick. The Shoveler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flambit Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I don't know if it's my "dream" commission, but I have always wondered what Wolverine by Jack Kirby would look like, in the style of those oversized, all pencil, really detailed commission pieces he did circa '77-'78. fsumavila 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisco37 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Maybe a McSpidey. Or a Bisley Lobo. Bolland Batman & Joker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Toy2Many Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Living? Definitely a Ditko jam piece with Spidey, Strange, Speedball, Squirrel Girl, Captain Atom, Creeper, Hawk and Dove, The Question, Iron Man, and Mr. A all gathered around him at his art board. Past? I'd have to go with the zaniest Plastic Man scene that Jack Cole could work up with his unparalleled imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipB2k17 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) A Frazetta Conan, with a scantily clad babe hanging on him. Hell, maybe a Conan battle piece where he's hacking away at a horde of zombies, or something. Duh!

otherworldsj331 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Alive - Barry Smith Conan piece. Ditko Spier-man cover. Alex Ross Spider-man movie upside kiss scene. No longer with us- Matt Baker pencils, Nick Cardy inks of a St. John romance cover. Curt Swan Action or Superman cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Marino Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Alive: Art Adams: Have him do one of those expanded covers. Maybe UXM 270, or even better have him do his take on Lee's XM1 gatefold. McFarlane: Spider-man vs his rogue's gallery Passed: Kieth Parkinson: Some sort of re-do of his Everquest covers. Not comic related, but he is one of the best ever.

The Shoveler Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Dream commission from a living artist: David Mazzucchelli: a Daredevil "Born Again" piece. One of those Arthur Adams cover expansions of either Thor, Star Wars, New Mutants/X-Men "Asgardian Wars," or Hulk #5 (1963) turned into a Hulk vs everybody in his rogue's gallery (especially the Toad Men!). Passed: Big John Buscema: a re-attack of FF#116...Dr. Doom leads the FF against the Overmind and a mind-controlled Reed Richards. With inks by Joltin' Joe Sinnott, who thankfully is still with us.

Weird Paper Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Since we can shoot for the moon here, I've always wanted a Dali Classics Illustrated-style cover for Sartre's The Flies. alxjhnsn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delekkerste Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Since the Simonson Thor and Mazz DD Born Again material that I would be interested in still resides with their respective artists, I'd say either an oversized, cover-quality Thor/Beta Ray Bill commission based on the material from the first half-dozen issues of Simonson's Thor run (Thor #339-340 being among the most nostalgic individual issues from my youth), or a DD Born Again montage piece by Mazzucchelli (the #232-233 pages in the marketplace don't interest me as much as the material from #227-229 in particular) would be my picks for commissions by a living artist. Though, the issue with the "living artist commission" question is that artistic style can (and does) change over time, while artistic powers also decline after a certain point (only Art Adams seems to be immune to this). I mean, I can see a lot of people wanting a Frank Miller DD commission or a Steve Ditko ASM commission...if they looked like Frank Miller circa 1981 and Steve Ditko circa 1964. Who knows what those commissions would look like in 2017... As for commission by a deceased artist, I'd say a Conan and Red Sonja oil by Frank Frazetta, depicting the treasure room scene from Conan #24, executed circa 1973-74 (pre-bikini chainmail).

Will_K Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 In my CAF Premium member Q&A from 12/25/2008, since those artists had passed on, my Top 5 Black Canary impossible commission list was: 1) Jack Cole 2) Nestor Redondo 3) John Rosenberger 4) Dave Stevens 5) David Wright And since Nick Cardy's passing, I'll mention a commission I proposed to him. I think its complexity required more thinking than he'd want to do. My idea was to have a 1960's style party. A packed room full of characters he's drawn. If you've seen Breakfast at Tiffany's, there's a party that you could barely navigate, that's kind of what I was going for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) Well, if we are hopping over to the impossible machine, I'd love a DPS sized, Jack Kirby / Spoon Ayers commission from say late 1963 depicting all the marvel heroes from that time battling all the marvel villains from that time. I wish I could say I'd dig something more exotic, but if I wasn't worried about rarity or market values or whatever... that's what I'd want.
