“… I hope this isn’t too weird of a commission request. I’m trying to get commissioned pieces of comic character hands (can include forearm) that shows enough to give a clue as to who they are.

I was hoping I could get a Cerebus hand or forearm either posed (as best as a single extremity can be) or with a signature weapon in hand. I have a “handful” of commissions like this already...”

 

For the record:

There is no such thing as a “too weird of a commission request“.

I ended up with a hybrid of inked with pencil shading that we both liked:

After my “Big Studio Clean of 2022” I decided to finish commissions that I’ve hanging around waiting for the proper inspiration/motivation.

The only way to get inspired/motivated is to just sit down and

DO THE FRICKIN’ WORK!

So… here’s one that I had abandoned and that prompted me to institute a “No More Superheroes” policy:

Okay… what’s next?
