Earler this year I believe at the end of Feb 2007 I had contacted Marat about doing a pencil commission of one of my own created characters called Z-Maxxy I sent him referances and let him do his thing. In March 2007 I had recieved the piece and just as I knew the piece I had recieved was outstanding. This only more enforces me that he is a great artist and more than that a good friend.

Here is a link to the piece I had recieved:

It will only be a matter of time before I commission him again.

I can't go all year without having a new commission from my favorite commission artist Marat. This one is actually from February 2007. I had it paid for several months ahead of time before I actually sent the references. I doubt this is the customary way to get a commission completed but I have such trust in Marat.

This one is for my Wildcats V3.0 collection. Minor nudity:

AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!
I forgot to post my recent Halloween commission by Marat. In sticking with my theme for magic based characters I asked for DC's Zatanna.

Minor nudity warning

As you all know Marat is my favorite commission artist. So when I get an idea on a piece that I want just right who do I call?

I have a theme that I have been working on for several years featuring Batman and 2000AD characters because I really enjoyed the Batman/Judge Dredd crossovers.

This one is Batman and Judge Anderson vs. Judge Fear:

http://www.soldier1941.com/s1941/details.php?image_id=2

The time between commissioning it and Marat finishing was about 3 weeks. However I had him wait to ship it to me because I had an idea for something different on another piece.

I am a fan of the music group Otep and I wanted a piece featuring Otep Shamaya. I asked him to use his imagination on what she would character she would be.

http://www.soldier1941.com/s1941/detail ... mage_id=13

Both are wonderful and I am very excited about the next piece I have rolling around in my brain.

Cheers,
Jeff

Marat is really delivering world-class commissions for you. He's on my to-do list for this year. Congrats on more stunning additions to your gallery.

I always give Marat as much freedom as he wants to create a piece for me. I give him the character references and a nonbinding suggestion and leave the rest to him.

My wife loves this one eventhough she had no idea who Grendel actually is.

Sorry no boobs in this one for you fanboys & girls out there :twisted:

I love this piece so much I'd almost pay to get it inked myself. Such a great commission.

soldier1941 · **Posted:** Wed Jul 23, 2008 11:04 pm

Well thank you Damon, I think that's one of the nicest compliments that I have ever received. Just for curiousity would that inker be Bob Almond?

Hello Everyone,

Well it's nice to be back for a change. Since the soldier1941 website is down for a huge revamp while I decide what direction I want to go in for the future i need to rework all the commission links here, especially the Marat links.

I want to thank everyone especially Terry for putting up with my constant disappearing. It hasn't been intentional it kind of just happened this year. I will however get the links back up and running if you just give me some time. Marat, as you all know is probably next to Dustin my favorite artist to collect.

I wish I had started 20 years younger in this hobby than I did lol.

Cheers,
Jeff

Welcome back again Jeff. Leave us some new topics in the other forums when you get a chance.

soldier1941 · **Posted:** Mon Aug 17, 2009 7:10 pm

Hello Everyone,

This is my newest piece but not the only one I have to add but I will be putting the others on has time permits plus fixing the links to the others as time permits.

This one is a recreation of a single panel from Detective Comics #475 I think where Batman confronts Silver. It is a small piece of Batman history but pivotal I think. Marshall Rogers and Terry Austin originally did it but Marat did a great piece of art for me.

http://www.soldier1941.com/s1941/details.php?image_id=4

Hopefully I will have my new home setup in a couple of weeks and have the rest of my Marat collection back up .

Cheers,
Jeff

p.s. I know this isn't a commission but it's a nice piece for Marat's newest trade edition of Demonslayer. This is the original cover art for the collection:

Neat stuff Jeff!

soldier1941 · **Posted:** Tue Sep 15, 2009 12:23 pm

I have gone back through some of the old post and corrected the links. Any of the posts that have links that reads www.soldier1941.com/s1941/
are current.
I will be scanning more images as time permits.

To see the images I have scanned just visit http://www.soldier1941.com/s1941/

I will getting back in the swing of things and will hopefully have all my art back online by the end of the year.

Cheers,
Jeff

p.s. please remember that some of the art has minor and major nudity so beware

soldier1941 · **Posted:** Tue Sep 15, 2009 7:45 pm

I never did apparently get around to posting my last Deathmatch commission by Marat featuring Lady Death & Pantha. This one was from 2007 when I started my leave of absence from the site I guess.

http://www.soldier1941.com/s1941/details.php?image_id=8

Enjoy it because it's one of my favorites. Minor nudity warning though.

Cheers,
Jeff

comicart · **Posted:** Tue Sep 15, 2009 10:43 pm

Another good one Jeff!

soldier1941 · **Posted:** Thu Sep 17, 2009 9:47 pm

I have one more link to finish and I will be completed on my restore. However it will take some time on it because it is a Wonder Woman piece that is framed on my office wall. I spent all this morning looking for it in my albums before I finally looked on my wall.

I will now start on my other commission artists as well.

Cheers,
Jeff

The Ion Fist Defeated by Master Khan was commissioned on Jan 21st 2010. During that time frame Marat was working on sketch cards for the upcoming Iron man 2 movie so I knew that it would slow in being completed.

http://www.soldier1941.com/s1941/detail ... age_id=178

Feb. 20th I went ahead and commissioned the Phantom Lady piece and both were delivered March 5th.

The Zealot Vs. Jakita Wagner is one from 2009 that I never got around to posting.

soldier1941 · **Posted:** Mon Mar 15, 2010 10:16 pm

This was actually the first Iron Fist commission Marat did for me the second one was posted first. He will eventually do six. The first set will feature Iron Fist battling Master Khan which is two thirds completed.

My Latest from Marat is a 4th of July piece that features Powergirl, Phantom Lady and the most famous lady in the world The Statue of Liberty.

I also have a tonal pencil piece featuring C.C. Rendozzo of Wildcats V3.o fame that is NWS so view it at your own risk:

http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiec ... GSub=97811

The C.C. piece I think turned out rather nicely though.

I posted this one in the wrong place. I commissioned Marat in early May and he sent me the scan on the 21st of June. I should receive the finished art by the weekend.
