I am yet to hear back from Jetski on what he thinks of my choice..Its like getting a tatoo.You present the artist with what you got in mind then go from there.. I have been lucky enough to meet Mirko and through having several Croatian mates can actually grasp how the Croation people regard him.. The blokes demenour is that of a ancient warrior.He is a brute of a man also one of very few words..He also shows next to no emotion..He is a Headkicking MMA god/ Croatian special forces cop.The blokes a pure warrior. Im not into the classic form of art..You say change the background to something with BEAUTIFUL TEXTURE ETC.... Im more into Graphic Novel type artwork...Say like the movie 300 etc.. But look all i can do is wait for Jetski to get back to me...I got the money and i know what i want...
Thats exactly what i think.. Its going to be my hardearned being spent... But respect other peoples opinions...
Actually, you've hit on a great idea for a series of images: Top MMA or boxing stars moodily painted/photographed as ancient Roman gladiators...it could look superb if it was done right! I'm a fan of certain types fantasy art myself, if it's well done, of course...I also got a kick out of '300' despite it not being strictly historically accurate, it was visually stunning... Ah, I'm sorry Ozzie...you and Codeman are right. It's none of my business, and I shouldn't have opened my mouth. One thing is for sure...any piece of artwork by Jetski is worthy of space on any wall. I'm convinced that one day (hopefully soon) he'll get a break that will catapult him into the big time, and his prices will have to multiply from there. Maybe when he's famous he can offer a special ESB discount? Anyway, changing the subject slightly to make up for me blundering in where I had no business...here are some of the best posed studies of fighters that I've ever seen. Simple, atmospheric, powerful. I know it's photography rather than painting...but this guy is an artist, all right!

Did I tell you guys that our home computer was eaten up by a malware virus? I HATE THAT CRAP!!! So I'm at the library using the public one. I'll will check in daily to respond to you guys. Yes, I would like to see the larger image of your avatar. I read Chaney's comments & his points are valid, but what ozzie wants, ozzie should be able to get. I'll pm you my email & we can take this from there. Not that its a secert. Its shown on my blog. After I see the larger image, I'll come up will a firm price quote. But remember, shipping from New Jersey to Australia will not be cheap, so some added $$$ for shipping will be included in the price. Thanks again. I'm in need of a commission & would like to get started on this project ASAP. :good
