Description

I have been a fan of Nick Derington since his run on Doom Patrol with My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way. I have been keeping an eye out for Nick to open a commission list for literal years. So when Felix finally opened a list for Nick about three days after I returned from OAX 2025 I didn't hesitate, though I felt like I should have. What I found super interesting was that this was the first commission list of Nick's entire career. I don't know what was preventing him from opening one previously, but I'm glad he finally did.

Where to begin with this piece? I think the colors are the obvious choice. The dappling effect seen in the blues of the water give it a hazy, smoke-like texture. Stingray's cape goes from solid red to a darker reddish-blue, and all the way to white in the highlights. Nick's use of light and shadows is masterful, almost putting Stingray in a literal spotlight. Even the rocks and aquatic critters have color gradations and believable lighting that ground them in a three dimensional space.

Nick's style veers toward an animated look without ever being cartoony. Stingray strikes a heroic pose as he surveys the depths. Meanwhile, the actual stingrays are CUTE. Especially the one that looks like it's about to boop Stingray in the face.

Watch me unbox this one as part of the End of Year Art Unboxing Extravaganza!
