JadeGiant Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 This is my newest piece in my homage series to Bob Larkin’s famous Hulk poster. Pencils from David Finch were done back in 2010 and I recently had Jonathan Glapion add inks. I couldn’t be happier with the finished result. http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=1264740&GSub=132359 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VintageMike Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 New to commissions but here is what I have and what got me started. Picked up this Batman sketch from Neal Adams and Garden State Comic Fest in May. One of my favorite characters by the one of, if not the definitive artist? Got my juices going for similar ideas. Batman by Neal Adams 70's style Click Here to visit my Art Gallery on comicartfans.com! In that vein, I remembered Jose Delbo did a good cheunk of the Wonder Woman comics I liked. The only direction I gave was I wanted the "eagle" logo as opposed to the "WW" which was enough of tip off to what I wanted. I was thrilled with the piece and it was finished in under two weeks ! Wonder Woman by Jose Delbo Click Here to visit my Art Gallery on comicartfans.com! Which brought to my favorite character and huge roadblock: Spider-Man I physically started sorted through my ASM comics and finally found an artist from the period I liked who was doing commissions: Keith Pollard. While not the "definitive" artist in the way the other two pieces were I was just happy to find an artist who could do "my" Spidey who had a decent run on the main book during the bronze age. The only direction in hindsight I wish I had given was to keep the eyes smaller but beyond that it's exactly what I was looking for.

shanester Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Do most of you folks get your commissions at shows/conventions? I have tried contacting artists and almost never get any responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisco37 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Do most of you folks get your commissions at shows/conventions? I have tried contacting artists and almost never get any responses. First check if they have a rep. If they do, that's who you need to contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxjhnsn Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 59 commissions: 12 bought after market (ebay, pre-drawn bought at show, dealers, etc) 38 bought through e-mail / website directly from artist 02 bought as pre-show with pickup at show 08 Live at show (above sketch grade) 03 Kickstarter I also have 31 done live at shows or signings that I count as convention sketches, but really a bunch of those are lots more than just sketches. So the 8 above should maybe be higher and the 31 "sketches" lower. Does that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gotten some at shows, but most of mine the artists have done from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few I reached out to said they don't have time. Specifically JG Jones, Mahmud Asrar, Babs Tarr, and Stanley Lau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
