Description

For an idea of how I commission Ernie Chan for a drawing, here's what I wrote to him for the Fate/Batman picture (which came out better than I could have imagined):
Ernie � I�d like to commission you for a color 2-character piece featuring Batman and Dr. Fate. If this piece had a name it would be �Dr. Fate Grants Batman His Wings.� The back-story would be that Fate needs Batman to fight a battle in a mystical realm of winged creatures, so Fate gives Batman bat-wings.
Facing the viewer, a capeless Batman (but he still has his hood/face mask) is arising from a kneeling/bended-knee position as majestic bat-wings unfurl from his back.
Also facing the viewer, Dr. Fate is standing behind Batman. Fate�s hands are casting the spell that has grown the wings.
Batman�s expression is grim, as the transformation was painful, and his fists are clenched, but he�s also pleased with a sense of new power, and, perhaps, with having a deep wish fulfilled � the ability to fly like the creature he named himself after.
For the background, maybe you could indicate that the two heroes are on a landscape in another dimension/a mystical realm � a red sky, a castle tower, maybe strange winged shadows in the sky.
I�d like the costumes of both heroes to reflect how they looked in the Silver Age/early Bronze Age � as if this team-up took place during the original Batman team-ups in Brave & Bold comics � I�ve attached references for Dr. Fate�s costume, and Batman should be in the grey and blue/black outfit � the black areas like his mask, gloves, trunks and boots should have blue highlights.
Please let me know your availability and total cost and I�ll send out a check.
Best regards,
Arthur
