This is a private Pen and ink with some maker commission I did a bit ago and I just wanted to post it. This illustration is 11x16 inches done on comic book blue line Bristol board, I used blue pencil for the sketch then used micron pens as well as brush for the ink line work, and to finish it of I used gray copic markers and a little bit of FW white to touch up a few things.



About this commission: The Client was a huge animal lover and fan of all the comic book pets so he commissioned my to do an illustration show casing some of his favs in one image. So from left to right it goes Titus the bat dog, the Thor frog, Lockheed the x-men dragon, Dex-Starr the red lantern cat,then Krypto the super dog with the Damien robin directing them from the Batcave.



Believe it or not krypto was the most challenging to draw mainly because I could not get a definitive answer on what breed of earth dog he is patterned after. I would ask friends "what breed of dog is Krypto?' and they would answer "kryptonian" needless to say I know alot of smart asses. In the end I made kyrpto a hybrid of a gray hound's body type and a more of a jack russell type head.
