Commission Info (Currently: Open)

Thu Mar 22, 2012, 7:18 PM
Commission are back open!

I always try my best to make my commissions affordable to anyone who'd like one. Most of the prices I ask simply are to cover the time I put into them, and supplies.

Prices are as follows (single character prices listed):

9x12 penciled drawing - $45
9x12 inked drawing - $55
9x12 inked & colored drawing - $75

11x17 penciled drawing - $55
11x17 inked drawing - $75
11x17 inked & colored drawing - $135


To "officially" get on the list, all payments will need to be up front. I will always give you an estimated turn-around time before payment is sent. Please be prepared to for me to take anywhere from 14 to 45 days to complete the commission, depending on where you are on the list as well as how bogged down I get with my regular gig. So, patience is appreciated.

Also, shipping is separate, but usually about $5 for a 9x12 piece and $9 for an 11x17.

And, as to the most FAQ-- YES, I will do nudes, but I don't go graphic nudes. (Think Playboy but not Penthouse.)

If interested, feel free to drop me a note here or send me an e-mail at stinsmanart@gmail.com

Also, I do try to create a few extra pieces to sell on e-bay. Sometimes these go for more than my usual asking price-- sometimes less. It's just a gamble (for both of us!) I will create a link to current pieces that are up for auction, so be sure to keep an eye out for those, too!

WOW man. I just happened to jump over here after seeing some pictures you posted at onesixthwarriors. Retired soldier myself and was looking at working up a cool different tattoo that included my wife and my group. Your work has the wheels turning big time. Thank you for sharing stuff that can change your soul from the inside out. Amazing work man, simply amazing.

Nahhhhh I just have good colourists ;) Haha...but no really I'm trying to work up the nerve to use Copics on my pinup girls. But I struggle with a few things like tone, saturation, lighting (okay basically everything). Any advice?

You know, it's hard to say because I've been coloring in Photoshop for so long that I just took that experience and sort of adapted it over to the markers. But, I think if you work in comics in an artistic capacity, you have some knowledge of lighting and anatomy, which are the two things that are going to be most crucial to keep in mind while coloring.

As for the markers themselves, I find that the better the paper, the better the markers take to it. And try to think of "painting" with them rather than coloring with them. Blend them, apply them in layers-- light to dark. And I always keep a somewhat dried out marker around (especially the flesh tones-- which I use warm greys) to blend into the open highlight area. This gives it more of a gradation.

And, of course, I always look at other artists techniques to see what I like and want to adapt into my own work.

Hope this helps!

I remember Vamperilla.

Thanks, Jeff! Loved your stuff since your Wonder Man days!

Panosian used to bring some of your pages into the studio (Extreme) and a bunch of us would gather around and check them out. You two always looked great together!
