Team Up that needs to happen...Deadpool - SnakeEyes...

One of my larger commissions that got wrapped up recently. This was a lot of fun to work on! This commission was a gift for this great young woman that I met at NYCC and got a chance to chat with. She was awesome to talk with, and was so nice. Meeting people like this are the best parts of going to conventions!

I've been meaning to something like this for years. I do like the Deadpool character quite a bit, but only in some iterations. I think he can be done a little too over the top, and I prefer a more pg-13 version than the video game and upcoming rated "R" version that will be in the movie. Still, I do really like the runs of comics and Joe Kelly and Ed McGuininess' break out run that defined this version of the character. I think Reilly Brown and Paco Medina are my favorite Deadpool artists that have had substantial runs on the character.

As far as the team up goes,  I enjoy that they'd have similar weapons of fighting. However, I don't know that you could get two more different kinds of characters with this kind of fighting style. I'm looking for the "perfect" caption to put above Deadpool's head there in the upper right for a colored print. Any suggestions are welcome!

 I will be doing a limited run of this as a color print, signed and numbered. Anyone that gives me a suggestion that I use for the caption on the limited run prints will get a free print shipped directly to you!

Snake Eyes/ Deadpool Team Up - 803

Here is the layout and a few progress shots as I went along. [image error][image error][image error][image error][image error]
The background was a bit of an afterthought. In my layout, I knew I wanted something, but figured I wouldn't have much room. For any aspiring artists out there, this should prove there's always more room for backgrounds and depth. Also, look how much more story this added to the piece. We see the antagonists this way and it increases the level of threat. In my mind, Snake Eyes was investigating the Red Ninjas of the Arashikage clan and followed them to this warehouse. Deadpool was given a marker to follow "the HAND" (red ninjas from the Marvel Universe), and saw these ninjas gathering at this warehouse. When confronted, it would make sense that Deadpool and Snake Eyes would have to team-up and Snake Eyes would get an ear full the entire time. 
I would buy that comic :)
