grinningdemon Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Over the last few months I've had various comissions done of wrestlers on the UK scene or from Chikara. Thought as a first post I could share some with you 1) For the Hammerlock Andre Baker Tribute Show, Art by Jack Lawrence  2) Jonathan Gresham / Heiracon for the IPW Summer Sizzler, Pencils and Inks by Dave Stokes  3) For the Hammerlock Show in Tonbridge, Pencils and Inks by Dave Stokes, Colour by Robert Parham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Freebird Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I drew this in 2008, which was influenced by Japanese wrestling and has a kind of modified version of Jushin Lyger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinningdemon Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 Thats awesome Richie. Personally I have zero artistic talent which is why I have to commission these pieces. Here's a few more  4) Chikara High Noon tribute, comissioned way before they announced the line up, based on the Gary Cooper movie poster, art by Jack Lawrence  5) Fed up with seeing Marty Scurlls name spelled incorrectly. Had this piece drawn by Robert Parham based on Marvel Secret Invasion Home Front cover  6) Hammerlock piece of trainee Hannah Harmstone. She was particularly nice to my son at the Hammerlock Tonbridge event so I had this commissioned.

robbo9292 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 your artwork seems very Chikara style in the fact they usually make a cartoon style poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted December 1, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 your artwork seems very Chikara style in the fact they usually make a cartoon style poster. It's still a welcome change from the usual 'WRESTLING' written in Impact in white across the top of a poster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinningdemon Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 That's kind of what I was looking for as I run a comic shop Works in progress at the moment 1) Jimmy Havoc as Ash from Army of Darkness (NWA Hammerlock) art by Marc Laming tbc 2) Seek and Destroy (Captain Deano & Tony McMillan) as 'Nam Soldiers (NWA Hammerlock) art by Lloyd Felix 3) Los Ice Creams vs The Colony based on a Spiderman Team Up Cover (Chikara) art by Dean Beattie numbers 2 and 3 are a departure from previous pieces as they are to be far more styalized than the traditional comic art/illustration above, with Lloyds art having Manga influences and Dean has a comic caricature style that is truly unique  Should be ready by Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted December 2, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 2, 2011 Just out of curiosity, how much on average does a commission cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Pitcos Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 These are great! I've no idea who the wrestlers are, but if I had the money, I'd commission a few WWE pics from these guys. Very impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
