When Croc Master died in the original run of GI Joe A Real American Hero by Marvel Comics, the wife of HissTank boards member yeti76 became quite concerned. No, not for how Croc Master met his demise, but for his crocodiles. Yeti76's wife wasn't just concerned, she was so concerned in fact, that she wrote a letter to Larry Hama, to which he gave a hand written response.
This letter has now been framed. Click on the thumbnail to read the letter and the response for yourself!

This original illustration was inked with Copic multiliner pens and brush pens and was completed in 3 hours. Here's some more background info on it:
I'm currently working through any of these I have outstanding for my blog posts in March and I'll keep working on them until they're all done. This Scarlett is one of those rare gems that really slipped through the cracks. Checking back in my records, I took this on at Heroes Con in 2009....!!!!! uh....So this is where the confession comes in. heh. I had completely forgotten about this. I think Mike might have as well, or atleast he forgot to bug me about it occasionally. Either way, it's been a ridiculously long time coming. Officially my longest outstanding con commission to date. Dang. So Mike will get this lovely Scarlett and a whole bundle of other stuff, books, prints and whatever I can find to cover my guilt. The one benefit to any of you that have to wait for a commission, is that I can guarantee that I'm a better artist than I was when you originally commissioned me. So there's atleast that benefit.
The best is yet to come, take a closer look by clicking the thumbnail!
