Â Depends on workload but most of these were done over a week period. Â I have seen him turnover masterful works in under 24hrs and sometimes it takes a few weeks. Â Awesome will follow and reach out. Does he have an artist account and he submits to cgc or did you have to get a witness to pick up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These he sent directly to CGC under my account with proper creator agreement and submission form, he does not have an artist account. Â For celebrity signatures, Ash would send directly to the facilitator of the show/signing. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ivdyer Posted January 13, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2023 Hope everyone has a “Supernatural” weekend.  Huge fan of the show so had to take advantage of this opportunity and, of course, Ash did not disappoint with this Sam/Ruby combo and real life husband and wife Jared/Genevieve Padalecki. I went with black eyes for Ruby (demons have black eyes in the show for non fans)…. RayJr, cgcsketcherz, pheonix103 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It usually depends on the subject matter but the whole process takes from 2-3 days. I am available for commissions but there is time wait at the moment of maybe 2-3 month turnaround. If you're still interested, send me a DM. JoeBrrr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BbqP.Bun85 Posted January 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2023 Happy to get this back from CGC this week. I took a chance from a very talented artist from South Korea name Diver Shin (Instagram account name) and he did a fantastic job of doing his take on a homage sketch cover of J. Scott Campbell's famous "Le Chat Noir cover, but with Felicia from Darkstalkers. He knocked it out of the park on this sketch. RayJr, DELTA 62, ADAMANTIUM and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExNihilo Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Posted this last year, but finally got it back from CGC. Grade is disappointing, but then I looked at the back and was like "ahh, now it makes sense." It's odd to me that CGC is okay with the sketch on the front but counts the art stains from the table on the back against the book. I'd think that should count as part of the sketch. :P In any case, I'm not really fussed about it. The art and artist are what's most important. Next up is to hope for a Hailee Steinfeld signing. If I really care about the grade, I can always commission another artist to add something to the back.

Great sketch btw!  ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BbqP.Bun85 Posted January 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2023 Artist: Arthur Ruiz (Instragram: @arthurkloud) His creavity for Chun-Li was awesome. I wanted a Ghost in the Shell vibe for this cover. What else can I say about Ronin Warriors, it was an awesome anime to watch growing up.  ADAMANTIUM, eastbayrudy, snownado and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
