San Diego Comic Con Pre-Show Commission List Update

SDCC COMMISSION SKETCHES

I will begin taking a Pre-Show Commission List for Comic Con International, San Diego starting Thursday, July 6th, exact time to be determined...

At that time, send an email titled SDCC SKETCH, through my contact link at  www.terrydodsonart.com or to terry at terrydodsonart dot com (my usual web contact) letting me know the following information:

 SIZE

 9” x 12” or 11” x 14"

I will do a full figure or 3/4 figure depending on what works best for the composition on the 11" x 14",  likely it will be 3/4 or thigh up figure on the 9" x 12".

I do the sketches on 

Color Canson MiTeinte Pastel paper

with Red Col Erase Pencil, Copic Warm Grey Pens, Black Markers, and Prismacolor White Pencil or Pro White

IF you want your sketch in your SKETCHBOOK, just gauge the size to the 9 x 12 or 11 x 14. However, I won't be able to do many as I won't have the SKETCHBOOK until I'm at the Convention.

See below for sketch examples and visit my blog, Instagram, Deviant Art and Twitter for more examples.

I’m not taking Blank Cover Pre-Show requests, I will decide at the show if I’m going to be able to do any there.

 SUBJECT

A Single character and I decide if it needs a background but you are welcome to suggest.

Be clear as to what version of the character you want.

And you can list a top 3 of if you want to.

 YOUR NAME

As you will be picking this up in person from me at SDCC, I need this. To be fair, and for my sanity, and yours, I’m only taking requests from people actually attending SDCC.

-------NITTY GRITTY------- 

-To be fair, and for my sanity, and yours, I’m only taking requests from people actually attending SDCC.

-I will take the first 25 COMMISSIONS requested via email and then CLOSE the list. I will then pick the SUBJECT I want to draw. As I complete them, I will contact you to let you know your piece was chosen, it's done, and request a partial payment via Paypal ($100) to hold, and then remainder in CASH from you at the show at the time of pick up.

-Once I stop the list, I will announce it is CLOSED and then I will let the 25 know they are on the list. If you don’t hear within 24 hours of CLOSED then your request was not one of the first 25. I will continue picking sketches until the start of the show so everyone should know.

 -SO, not everyone will get a sketch and there will most likely be some confusion so read everything carefully and if you don’t hear from me with 24 hours of closing the list, you are NOT on the list of 25.

-If you do make the list of 25, you are NOT guaranteed a sketch, just that I’m choosing from those 25.

- It’s only when I email with the 2nd email and tell you your sketch is completed, request partial payment, then, you know, … it’s done :-)

I will do as many as possible!

QUESTIONS!

Please ask in the thread below so everyone can see - thanks!

Three Things About The Heroes Con Sketch List

Three things about the Heroes Con Sketch List - 

1) This is the first time I've done a Pre-Show Commission List as I thought there might be a lot of requests for a 3 day show  that I had never attended, so a lot of new people to do sketches for.

2) I'm absolutely stunned at the number of requests I got at 6:00 PM.

Thanks so much for your interest!

3) And based on the number of requests I got I'm glad I did it this way, as I think I would have spent the majority of the show Friday dealing with the sketch list, as opposed to sketching, signing, talking, etc with all the fans at the show which is a difficult experience for everyone.

AND

I will have copies of my Bombshells Sketchbook, Masquerade Sketchbook, and Red One Book 1 and 2 for sale which I generally do complimentary head sketches in as a thank you for the support.

I'm really looking forward to Heroes, seeing Charlotte and meeting everyone - I've heard a lot of great stuff about Heroes Con!

HEROES CON PRE-SHOW Commissions is CLOSED

Holy cow, Heroes Con people like sketches and of course, I've never been to Heroes for a show so the list filled up immediately.

So thanks to all of you who inquired, I feel very welcomed to Heroes!

Now down to the Commissions...

-The first 25 COMMISSIONS requested via email after 6PM PST have arrived and so the list is CLOSED. 

-Now that the list is CLOSED I will let the first 25 know they are on the list. If you don’t hear within 24 hours of CLOSED then your request was not one of the first 25. 

-I will pick the SUBJECT I want to draw one at a time. As I complete them, I will contact you to let you know your piece was chosen, it's done, and request a partial payment via Paypal ($100) to hold, and then remainder in CASH from you at the show at the time of pick up.

-I will continue picking SUBJECTS (Sketches) until the start of the show so everyone should know by the start of the show (really, 11am Friday, June 16th, as I'm going to update until as close to the start as possible) if they are getting a sketch.

-FINALLY, this is the first time I’ve done this and I’m doing it because of the sheer number of requests and the fact that the show is only 3 days.

 -SO, not everyone will get a sketch and there will most likely be some confusion so read everything carefully and if you don’t hear from me with 24 hours of closing the list, you are NOT on the list of 25.

-If you do make the list of the first 25, you are NOT guaranteed a sketch, just that I’m choosing from those first 25.

- It’s only when I email with the 2nd email  telling you your sketch is completed, request partial payment, then, you know, … I've drawn one for you :-)

-I will do as many as possible!

-Any questions, or comments, suggestions, concerns (apart from whether you are on the list, etc) please ask in the comment section below - thanks, much easier for my to reply here.

-Again if you have questions, etc, please ask because others may have the same question.

Ok, I got pages to draw!

Thanks, everyone!

See you in Charlotte!
