Sketch pricing

[stanley1883]

Realizing this is a very general question, I was looking for some help. I am looking to attend the Phoenix Comic Con and trying to get some original sketched artwork done. For those of you who have been or have done this, what is a ballpark figure what the artists charge for a cover?

I know different artists charge different amounts, just in general, if Im looking to get a black and white sketch or a full color sketch, what can I expect to spend? No super big names like Neal Adams, for the Mike Choi and Mike Mckone artists.

Thanks in advance.

As far as convention sketches go, I don't think most artists do full color because it takes too long.

 

For a normal, full figure, inked convention sketch most artists probably charge $50-$100.

Maybe for artist's alley guys.

I don't know Sean, I've seen my fair share of no-names charging Jim Cheung like prices...

i got a full figure punisher from mckone at megacon and it was 250.

Recently in NC, Lee Weeks did sketches - pencils & inks with some color highlights for $80.

From my experience at Megacon most published artists charge between $100-$300 for full figure. There are some exceptions but they are big names who only do 1-4 a weekend. Also, lots of artists do full color now; you just might have to talk to them the first day and wait until the last day until it's done.

 

Check CAF and you can see the quality of sketches that artists do at cons.

$300 for a sketch is just too much in my opinion. There's plenty of sweet published pages that can be had for that amount.

I just want to know how much for an original sketch from Sadfan? I need to make this happen sometime this year. I will so get it slabbed if we can make this happen.

$300 is fine if it $300 worth of quality. I've paid $50 for nice sketches also. But in most cases you get what you pay for
