COMMISSION SKETCHES



I will be taking a Pre Show Sketch list on 

February 28, 6PM Pacific Time,

 stay tuned for updates! 


HOW TO GET ON THE LIST!

Send an email titled ECCC SKETCH, through my contact link at  www.terrydodsonart.com OR terry at terrydodsonart dot com (my usual web contact) letting me know the following 3 things:

 1. SIZE

 9” x 12” $350

 11” x 14"  $500

I will do a full figure or 3/4 figure depending on what works best for the composition on the 11" x 14",

and  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 SKETCHBOOK commissions 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, check with me at the show about doing them in person there. 


 2. 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.

I suggest a top 3 list of what you want.


 3. YOUR NAME

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

-------NITTY GRITTY------- 

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

-I will take the first 20 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 20 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 20. 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 20.

-If you do make the list of 20, you are NOT guaranteed a sketch, just that I’m choosing from those 20.

- 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 :-)

-AND, for the past few shows, I have drawn the majority of the sketches at the show, due to my workload, so you may not get confirmation until the day before the show starts (3/13).

I will do as many as possible!


QUESTIONS!


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

GOOD LUCK!


AND I will have a new sketchbook debuting there, more details next time!

See you there!

LINE ART


COVER SKETCH

The cover concept I sent into Editor Chris Conroy andDC Comics for approval. 

Roughs were drawn at 2" x 3" in my sketchbook using Warm Grey Copics then colored in Photoshop CS3.

We had a pretty good idea of what the cover was going to be so not much of a change from my concepts.


PENCILS

Initial Rough In

Drawn in Light Blue and HB Lead on 13" x 19" Bristol Board 


The initial face started out prettier...
