easyt63 Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Hey all, Im big on commissions, in fact, that has pretty much taken over my whole collecting focus. I hardly buy published work any more. Also, 2011 is all about expanding my commission collection. Not just little sketches, but full blown commissions, so I figured I would start a thread and catalogue what I acquire in 2011. I invite everyone to do the same. Hopefully we can make this the official commission collecting thread. Post direct images if you can, then link to your CAF if you like. I'll start this off with a commission I just received today. Dustin Nguyen ink washed re-imagining of the classic Amazing Spider-man #194 cover, the first appearance of the Black Cat. Hope you like! I am really looking forward to what others are able to get during the year. And here it is in my CAF cgcsketcherz 1
jeBailey Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 I commissioned this piece a few weeks back after seeing a cover recreation they did for a another board member. I think they did a fantastic job and extremely fast. This is from Brendon and Brian Fraim. camd, 4507, grapeape and 1 other 4

AtlasFan Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Here is a recent piece I commissioned from Neil Vokes. Its based on the cover of Tales of Suspense #32. The Original Suicide Squad have been shrunk down to the size of bugs and are being terrorized by some nasty bees -- all this while only a few yards away, a typical 50's family is having a summer BBQ... grapeape 1

lb jefferies Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) I don't often buy commissions - and I didn't commission this one personally - but this one has found its way into my collection and I think it's just brilliant.
