Description

I forgot who posted the Willingham commission a few years back on CAF. But I asked them how to score one. He said to sign up for Bill's newsletter and every so often he offers to do commissions. So patience paid off recently. I got my request in for my favorite Elementals character; Shapeshifter. A few weeks later I was told it was finished and I thought, well, that's fast. A week later I'm out the door, running late for work and I saw the art leaning again the wall. Bring it in and keep thinking about it all day because I have no idea what I've got there. Finally home twelve hours later and I'm a little worried about opening the package. But it's like Bad Pitt in Seven, "What's in the box?" I pull the strip off the envelope and look in. Hmmm, looks like three 11 X 17 boards and some loose stuff. Ok, I guess he really wanted to protect the piece. Cool. Then I pulled the boards out. Oh. My God. At first it doesn't process because I saw board three first: Vortex getting chocked out. Then I saw board two: Shapeshifter's distorted body doing a Reed Richards maneuver (mind you I didn't realize Fathom was in the background and Monolith in the foreground). Ok, this is what I wanted. Lastly board one: Morningstar and Monolith's arm. Huh? A minute later I've arranged them in the correct order because I didn't look at the back of the boards where Bill labeled what order they go in. Once again my mind goes blank except the thought of: do I get this framed or put it in a portfolio and how am I going to see this as it's meant to be? Yup, to make another movie reference here this time from So I Married An Axe Murderer, the opening scene where Mike Myers gets what looks like a punch bowl of cappuccino and says that's there's been a mistake, he ordered the large. Yup, I ordered an 11 X 17 and I got a drawing that takes up three boards. This is utterly amazing!

Sorry about the bad cutting and pasting job. Look at the additional images to see the individual parts.

That's the artificial horizon...which is better than the actualhorizon.
