Somewhere along the line I got pegged with a reputation of drawing comic book style likenesses of regular folk for commissions (hell, I only tell you how to do it in my
new book). This probably goes back to my pre-comics career when I drew caricatures at the local theme park back in high school. Most requests are of drawing people as superheroes. Not only is this a fun idea, but it also allows them to add extra inside jokes/themes that's personal only to them. It takes longer to do and involves a little more effort (that's why I generally charge a little more for these) than a typical drawing of a superhero character, but the end result is very satisfying if the customer is pleased.
Here are a few recent commissions I've done of just your everyday folk dressed up (I chose not to put up the actual photos of the people depicted for privacy reasons):
Jeremy as Green Lantern holding a kettle bell (he's an instructor)
Gift for Camille and Hans as Robin and Batman on their new house
A commission of Inga as Mary Marvel
Camel Toes
Later, dudes...
