I was going to take a break from commissioning more pieces of Darkhawk for a while. Then something came up that made it impossible for me to head to the Toronto Fan Expo over the weekend. I figured I was going to spend money to get in and on gas, right? So why not filter it back into comics somehow?

I was scanning DeviantArt and came across a guy who did chibi-styled Guyvers and Iron Man versions. I was instantly hit with the image of Darkhawk on War of Kings: Ascension #4 all decked out in arsenal and manga-esque flare. I quickly discovered Matt was taking commissions so I jumped on board anxiously. You can see Matt Bellamy’s (GuyverC) art on his DeviantArt Gallery page. You can see what I mean.

There was an amazingly quick turn around time. Thankfully for me Matt was a Darkhawk fan and didn’t need me to dig up my nerd-knowledge and Google-fu on him. He was good to go and turned out this piece! He took some liberties in the design but it’s still pretty true to the concept of “decked out DH”! I love this little guy and I love the idea of Darkhawk being an artist’s dream come true–screw continuity of design–just make it up if you think it’s cool and now it fits!
