To the OP,

 

My one piece of advice is to have an idea of what characters and what type of sketch you want. Different artists will do a much better job if you tailor the request to their skill and to what you want. I, personally, like to have the artist draw a character that he or she has drawn professionally, in most cases. I know a lot of people like to have their favorite character drawn by anyone. I guess my main point is to really have an overall plan, not just an idea of who you want to get. That will avoid a lot of disappointment.

And, definitely go quality over quantity. Let's say you have a total budget for the entire show of $100. You find one of your favorites and he is charging $25 for a headshot and $100 for full body inked. I would rather take the 1 full body over 4 different headshots.

 

As for type of sketch, I like to request some type of action. Even if it is a basic as Thor spinning his hammer, you'll be much happier with something dynamic.
