Tadahhh!! Here is the finished picture for Ultimate Fighter Mike "Quick" Swick I was commissioned to do back in October. Now, 1 & 1/2 months and 65+ hrs of work later...I get to unveil it.
This is UFC's Mike Swick and Bruce Buffer playing head to head poker in a cage full of zombies and surrounded by flames. They are both sponsored poker players for Full-tiltPoker.com and plan on selling prints of/posting this piece on the each of their websites.
This pic was a lot of fun to work on, especially because Mike wanted zombies, chicks, and chaos in the art. So far, this is the most involved piece I've ever worked on. I did the cage, Mike, Bruce, the zombies, and the table ALL on separate pages. Once I got the art the way they wanted it, I put it all together and began coloring. Every 8-10 hrs, I'd send a WIP version to them and await their approval before continuing. I had to also design the cards and chips...meaning I hand drew each face card and each chip. The cards are actually pretty detailed, considering I drew them at about 4" tall each, and then scanned, colored, and imported them into the main image. Oh well, I could go on and on about why it took me forever to complete, but I won't. The actual size of this piece is 11"x17". Enjoy!
Kickass, thanks. I'll be watching UFC100 for sure.

Swick is that shhzzniit. Can't wait to see his next fight. I bet the cards and chips were a pain in the ass for detail. Next you should have Butterbean eating Kimbo Slice, or Tito spanking Ken Shamrock! ~ Peace
Hahahah, Kimbo would be fun. Yeah the cards took forever! Thanks bro.
