Hey comic artists,
I'm looking to get myself a nice commission for Christmas, but, like everywhere in the world, times are tough in my little corner of reality.
I'm looking for some quality comic art to add to my collection. I have a variety of characters that I tend to collect the most of, and I'll list them here in a little bit.
I know a lot of you are going to groan because the inevitable is coming: I'm looking for quality art that costs $40 or less, and that needs to include shipping to Michigan. I'll pay half upon seeing a thumbnail sketch of what you intend to draw and half upon completion of the piece.
By quality, I typically am looking for strong artwork, supported by correct anatomy, proportions and movement. I'm not interested in anime or manga style art, just western comic style. I liked inked art, but clean pencils are also welcome.
I want art that is 11x14 at the smallest, though I prefer 11x17 boards. Additionally, I'd be willing to consider sketch covers if you like drawing them.
The characters I'm most interested in are:
Cassie Hack and Vlad (Image Comics Hack/Slash comics)
Huntress (DC comics' Batman Universe)
Power Girl (DC Comics' World's Finest and others) -- less chesty, more powerful
Dr. Doom (Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four and others)
Captain Marvel (New version from Marvel Comics -- formerly Ms. Marvel)
Danger Girls (various Publishers -- Danger Girl comics created by J. Scott Campbell)
Moon Knight (Marvel Comics)
Shi (Crusade Entertainment -- created by Billy Tucci)
Batman/Batgirl/Robin/Poison Ivy/Catwoman/etc (DC comics)
X-Men (Marvel Comics)
I'm interested in pieces that showcase multiple characters. I'm definitely interested in a piece with characters together such as the X-Men fighting Sentinels, Dr. Doom surrounded by the women of the Marvel Universe as he sits in his throne, etc.
Let me know what you have in mind. Send me some examples. Let's talk.
I know I say $40 or LESS, but that doesn't mean I'll just pick the artist who offers the lowest rate. I'll look over the galleries or any examples you want to send and make my decision or I'll ask some further questions.
And before you put an entire list of reasons why I'm asking too little for quality artwork, I'll just let you know that I've received the following at less than the amount I've listed here for each piece, including shipping:
