David Lapham - Commissions - Hi

Post by DavidLapham »

Hello all. Hope I'm not overstepping here. I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm open to commissions and I'm happy to draw Valiant characters for anyone that wants one.

I wanted to reach out here because first, as an independent creator it's part of what I do, and second, I know many of you are aware that I don't work for Valiant and might think that's an off-limits subject for me, but it isn't, and I'm very happy to draw characters I helped create or was a part of. Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone here know and if you're interested, you can check out the link below.

I'm also happy to answer questions if I can and anybody has any :)

David, I am on travel at the moment (hurricane) but will likely take you up on this offer in the near future. Been a fan of your work since the early 90s! :thumb:

Thanks! I remember having my space on Jason Aaron's Standard Attrition board. It was a ton of fun....(and also too addicting).

Welcome back to the board! Love your early Valiant work. I am lucky enough to own some of your Valiant OA which will always be treasured.

10 years ago when David was simply known as "DL" on this board ( :lol: ), he offered free sketches for those who tried out Young Liars. Here's the Flamingo sketch he did for me:

Davis’s a good guy to work with. I had him do a Stray Bullets commission last year and couldn’t be happier.

Hey David, lifelong fan here, thanks for making so much good stuff to enjoy over the years!

I was re-reading some of the older Stray Bullets recently and came across the old previews for The Parallax Man, which looked f-ing amazing. Any plans to return to sci-fi at some point? I always loved the worlds and characters you designed for Rai and Plasm (I'm assuming you designed most of those?)

Much love and thanks again
