Junior's Adventures

So after creating this vintage style comic book cover background for a friend's birthday present portrait fav.me/d9ebz2r, I have decided to recycle it and will be using it as a template for a series of commissions. In doing so, I am able to keep within the tight budget I have to play with and I can give most of my attention to their (chubby) faces. The client wants portraits of all 4 of her grandsons. Just a quick tweak and they are unique for each little chap.

This fella is Junior. I asked the client for a favourite thing to pop in the top corner for each grandson, and for Junior the answer came "Captain America". With my digital illustrations I usually like to make everything from scratch, but as I didn't have many hours to spend on this due to the limited budget of the client, I found an image of Captain America's shield online and tweaked it a bit.
