This commission was a first for me in that it isn’t an established character like my others. I was just told to draw a big (but not fat) gangster with a cigar, tommy gun & case full of money. So I was basically responsible for coming up with the look of the character, and this is what I came up with. The one thing I ended up liking about this little exercise is that a lot of “me” (meaning my art style) shines through.
