PAYMENT: We accept PayPal (jolelad@yahoo.com) or you can send a check or money order with the books. For those of you only getting sketch covers that we are providing, we are asking a 3% surcharge to cover PayPal fees.

 

We are hoping you guys take advantage of our sketch cover offer and get some sweet books done. If anyone is wondering why we are doing this, the answer is simple: We want to ensure the artists make some good money for attending our show, and it's always fun to see what sketch covers get created. We'll update this thread with the blank covers available.

 

Any questions, feel free to PM Joel. Thanks!

I'm interested in the Crain, please pm me with pricing.

 

I am also. Please pm me the details

[Joel Elad]

Understood, guys, when I hear about the pricing I'll let you know.

[Harley Troy]

For those who may not know, Tone Rodriguez is one of the best sketch cover artists going. Way underrated!

Could not agree more! Tone is a great artist and an absolute pleasure to speak with.

PM sent

[Joel Elad]

PM replied. More artist examples coming this weekend.

[Niro]

kool, looking forward to seeing them

[Joel Elad]

Yeah, examples are still coming.

 

I've found some more blanks. I found a few Deadpool 50/Deadpool 1 blanks that I'm reserving for anyone wanting a Marat Deadpool sketch.

 

I've found some Fallen Son Cap blanks, but no guarantee on grades. I've also found a few Image United blanks, those I'd like to save for any $60+ sketch, but if you really want one for a head or bust sketch, ask me closer to the show.

Marat Mychaels ($40 for bust sketch, add $20 for gray tones)

 

per PM

[Joel Elad]

Here's some examples from artist Joel Gomez:

 

$40 bust figure

 

$120 full color wraparound

 

 

[Joel Elad]

Just updated the rates, added John K and Rafael Navarro, and found a bunch more blanks! More examples posted today.

[Joel Elad]

Rafael Navarro's sketch rates start at $40, here are some examples he did on paper:

 

 

 

I would take $40 deposit if you wanted a Navarro sketch, and if he wanted more, I'd notify you and bill you the difference. Odds are, $40 will cover most sketch cover requests.

[Joel Elad]

UPDATE

 

Since the show is coming up in 4 days, we have made the decision NOT to offer any Clayton Crain sketch requests to non-attendees. We apologize for the inconvenience, there were a number of factors that led us to make this decision. With the time he has available, we want convention attendees to have the best options for getting a sketch from Mr. Crain. Those of you that PM'ed me should have gotten an answer by now.

 

Those of you attending the show: We will be announcing the guidelines for requesting a sketch from Mr. Crain sometime before the show opens on Sunday morning.

 

We are still taking requests for most of our other attendees, and we appreciate all the takers so far. Looking forward to meeting some of you on Sunday!

[Joel Elad]

FYI for all of you coming out - Clayton will decide on commissions on a first come, first serve basis in the morning. He'll decide what he can do at the show and what will have to be mailed after the show.

 

I'll check in tonight as well if anyone wants sketches from anyone else besides Crain or eBas. Otherwise, we'll see you at the show tomorrow!
