Boxing Portraits and Illustrations

I've been working on a larger project that involves boxers and highlights from their respective matchups. I'm working on portraits of Mayweather and Guerrero, for example, and if any noteworthy moments happen in their fight, they'll be illustrated and put into a visual narrative. It's more or less the same as a video highlight, but I think it's more compelling to show the drama from a graphic novel perspective. Here are some examples of Pacquiao and Cotto. Just wanted to gauge interest in this and see if anyone would like to see these things on here. Since this is my artwork, I own all rights to these images. Please do not duplicate, reproduce or modify them without my permission. http://payload149.cargocollective.com/1/0/28573/5281634/Pac.jpg http://payload149.cargocollective.com/1/0/28573/5281634/Cotto.jpg http://payload149.cargocollective.com/1/0/28573/5281634/PacCotto.jpg

They are not drawn freehand like an artist paints , they created on a PC as vector art and not with a wacom tablet freehand , I can appreciate computer art as well and your work is really nice work but its not hand drawn . Here some pieces I put together from pics and worked them into my own artwork , its still art just not not hand drawn . http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d59/RodBarker007/ODH_Hopflat.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d59/RodBarker007/HattonwebC.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d59/RodBarker007/Chocweb.jpg No, it's hand drawn. I don't use vector in anything. Look at my site. Nice work, btw.

They're all hand-drawn. Everything is done by hand. Ink, add texture, etc. They are not drawn freehand like an artist paints , they created on a PC as vector art and not with a wacom tablet freehand , I can appreciate computer art as well and your work is really nice work but its not hand drawn .

Would like to request Duran/SRL 1. PLEASE! That's two requests for SRL / Duran 1. These are quite time consuming to draw, so it may be awhile before I'm able to do that one.

He probably means they look vectorized and filtered not hand drawings . They're all hand-drawn. Everything is done by hand. Ink, add texture, etc.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by dramatics? Like, comic book style action, that type of thing? He probably means they look vectorized and filtered not hand drawings .

they nice but just looks like a drawing of the exact pic, where the artistic dramtics? to me they suck but the your drawing talents are not to be denied but nothing special in these pics to me. Could you elaborate on what you mean by dramatics? Like, comic book style action, that type of thing?

Well done, I would definitely like to see you draw highlights of the Floyd/Guerrero fight.

Those are quality mate! Would love to see some of Duran vs SRL 1 or Marquez vs Pac 4, Tyson vs Berbick and one of his later fights too with the tatt on his face...say Ettine since thats when he got it Yeah, throwback fights would be a good way to get a large body of work fairly quickly. Those are good suggestions, thanks.
