I made an advance order for a 11X17" Single Character Inked commission, here's what i asked for:

"I was thinking a UK themed Firefly - a nice old school Firefly with him holding his original gun in one hand and a detonator in the other, with Big Ben exploding in the background (a call back to this old Action force cover http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/comics/baf/100/d/images/148.jpg ). "

Rob knocked the piece out of the park. To me it looks like a cover quality piece, never mind a simple convention commission. As mine was the most complicated, he did it first, and actually did it his hotel room the day before the con!

Rob featured it on his blog here:
