The client commissioned Sal & I to render J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter for him. His first description was to render him as half man & half female (a look that MM took during Sal's run on JUSTICE LEAGUE TASK FORCE) but to have him/her in mid- transformation. But then the client changed his mind and wanted classic J'onn without the estrogen but Sal missed the note and subsequently rendered the original request. But we gladly accommodated the client with what he now wanted to his pleasure. This 11 X 17 commission was inked in brush & marker and completed on 1/18/04.
