This Captain America sketch was also just a quick sketch and not fully rendered. (The artist did it in about 30 minutes.) If it were fully rendered I would'nt have had it colored either. Anyway, I just experimented this one time to see how it'd go. I prolly won't do it anymore for future blank cover sketches or commissions, for sake of resale value. Ah, thanks man.

Thanks, buddy! That's a relief to hear. There's this Red Hood sketch I also got that I am dying to have colored by another artist. (I'm not yet sure if the penciler has already worked with this artist I have in mind.) I also might keep doing this, then, for other blank covers. Purely for my enjoyment, though. I'm a long ways off from selling any of these babies anytime soon.

Do any blank sketch collectors here have a sketch done by one artist and colored by another? Hi! Am a Marvel and DC fan from the Philippines. I've recently fallen in love with blank cover commissions. (I only started collecting them last year.) I wanted to ask if what I had done by two different comics artists with my Avengers blank cover below, is an actual thing blank cover collectors around here do. So November last year, I had a Captain America sketch done by Carlo Pagulayan, a Filipino artist who does work for Marvel. He did an amazing job, of course, for the very reasonable price of $10. The thing was, I felt Captain America needed some color to look more bad-. Fast-forward to June, today, when I had the same commission colored by a different artist, Peejay Catacutan. (He's a Filipino international comics artist who's simply amazing with copics markers!) From the final product you see below, I do not regret having both artists work on the blank cover. I talked to my friend about this commission, and, being a collector himself, he told me stuff. He said if collectors wanted colors on their blank cover commissions, they usually asked specific colorists associated with the pencilers or inkers to color the commissions (that is, if they did commission work at all). This supposedly boosts the resale value of the blank cover, since you know that the colorist and the penciler/inker did previous work together. In the case of Carlo Pagulayan, I could have asked maybe Rain Beredo, Rachelle Rosenberg, or other Marvel colorists who worked with him before, to color this Captain America sketch (if they did commission work, I'm not sure). To the best of my knowledge, Carlo Pagulayan and Peejay Catacutan have never done any work together. The blank cover stays as it is, but I just want to ask other comic collectors here if I should heed my friend's advice and be more, erm, strategic with my artist choices? If I asked Penciler X to work on a blank cover and I wanted some colors on it, do I have to make sure Colorist Y used to work with Penciler X? Like, do I have to do my research first? Or is there like a golden rule here among collectors where you don't have a blank cover commission colored unless it's done by the same artist? Or does any of this actually matter? Like, do other collectors here do what I just did? Currently, I'm just collecting these blank covers for fun. But I am asking all these questions because, to be honest, I am entertaining the prospect of having these graded later on. (And reselling them, if I don't want them anymore.) If it's true that other collectors put importance on who drew on the cover AND who colored it, and this affects that cover's resale value, then I want to be in the know. I don't want my artist choices to come as an afterthought. Thanks for hearing me out!
