Michelangelo


Compared to most of the commissions that I've been doing lately, this is a pretty simple one. There's something about it however, that I really like.
Dane Shobe contacted me and asked if I and some of the other studio dudes would want to work on a jam-type drawing, with him included. As with all J-D requests, enthusiasm for something like this was low to non-existent. When I told him this, he was bummed out but we compromised by him having me do this Mikey on a sheet and leaving him room to do a Turtle of his own underneath it. I hope I get to see the final version.

  1. One thing I am curious of. Mike's nunchucku. I've seen both cahins links and strinlg like chain link. Which is the definitive look of his weapon or does it vary? It mighnt be a silly question,but call me curious. Thanks.

  2. Yeah, I've gotten remarks about this before. I pretty much draw them both ways- I don't think that there's any official construct to Mike's nunchucks.
    I might say, and I may be wrong here, is that Pete generally drew them with chains and Kevin I think drew them more with strings.
