Little Batman Beyond Sketch

1/7/2017

5.5x8.5 inch sketch of Batman Beyond! Copic Markers & Ink.

Batman and His Pet Cheetah VS. Zombies... and why Artists Require Deposits on Commissions.

1/6/2017

LOL.... so yeah, the title explains it all I guess. This piece was created using Copic Markers, Ink, Colored Pencils and Paint on 9x12 gray toned paper.

The Story Behind this one is that it was a commission request where the client requested three items, batman, zombies and a cheetah... and thats it. I was to determine how they came together. Unfortunately the individual who ordered it dropped off of the face of the earth. This piece happened to be My first major lesson in the world of being a proffesional artist.

Rule #1 - Don't EVER take a commission without a deposit.

People are Dicks... despite what you may think, LOL. Not all people, but you wouldn't ask a stranger to hold your wallet.

When it comes to commissions I tend to take it on a case by case basis. I generally am a trusting person. So if I have done business with you a few times before, your golden in my book. However, if I dont know the individual then I require a deposit. How much is up to you, but typically I base it on resaleability and difficulty. For instance, despite the strageness of this piece, I was able to sell it fairly quickly, although I did have to drop the price much lower than my normal rate.

This is what I mean by resaleability and difficulty. Ask yourself some questions like:

How easy would I be able to turn around and sell this piece?
How popular is this character?
How strange is this piece? like for instance is there a random cheetah in it?
How Long would something like this take me?
What would my up front costs be (IE. Supplies) with creating this piece?
How Busy am I ? How full is my Commission List ?

Based on the answers to those questions you can determine a reasonable deposit amount.

A lot of the answers to these questions come with experience... so you basically have to know your craft & the market.

For instance, if someone asked me to draw a small bust sketch of a sexy Harley Quinn, well then no problem... maybe a small 10-30% Deposit. Enough to cover my supplies & a few minutes of my time.

What about a Aquaman Sketch? Well, not the most popular of characters, however there are collectors, so maybe a slightly larger deposit.

How about Plastic Man? You should probably get a fairly large deposit.

" I want you to draw my kids as the Fantastic Four, fighting Galactus (who will of course be me), and make my wife The Silver Surfer"

uuuhmmm Yeeeaahhh, Just go ahead and collect a full deposit.

Honestly, who in the hell is going to buy that, if that person dissappears?

Your going to end up sitting in the living room eating a hot pocket , staring at a framed painting of some dudes kids as the fantastic four. You would be staring at your TV, however the fit of rage that you flew into after finding out that this person bailed on you after spending 300-400$ worth of time & materials caused you to launch your computer through your flat screen. So now this $300 - $400 dollar loss has turned into thousands. Not to mention the fact that your wife has left you & took the kids because she was afraid for their safety due to your outburst. So now all you have is this F*#$%ing Painting. All of this could have been avoided if you had just taken a deposit....

I hope you have enjoyed reading this little pearl of wisdom & I also hope it saves you some headaches in the future. For those of you who read it, I thank you, everyone else can eat a peanut encrusted turd...

Hells Ventriloquist

3/22/2015

Hells ventriloquist

I've been Posting A lot of marker sketches, so I thought I'd mix it up & post a pencil drawing I did, with a back story, That I call Hell's Ventriloquist. Its 8x10, pencil & colored pencil, that I scanned into illustrator & cleaned up for a tshirt design. It was inspired by a story I once was told, that was used to scare little children into behaving.

There was once a brilliant Ventriloquist in the 1800's named Compari. He was an amazing performer, who loved his art. The only thing Compari loved more ,was children, so he would fashion his dolls after the little children he entertained. You see, he was a very homely & shy man, and a very lonely one, who could never have children of his own. But when he performed, children would come from all around to see Compari & he couldn't be happier. As his success grew so did his notoriety, which brought more attention to the fact that wherever the ventriloquist went, child disappearances seemed to increase as well. When they finally had Compari hanged, they found the bodies of 66 children underneath the floorboards of his house, as well as 10-15 more in a ditch behind his home. All of them found with a rusty nail lodged into the temple of the tiny skulls. Compari never uttered a word to the authorities even when they snapped his neck.
The stories say that Compari still practices his art in hell. Whenever spoiled little boys & girls are awful to their parents & misbehave, Compari rises up from Hell & snatches there souls in the night. The little boys & girls are dragged down & trapped in the hollow bodies of The ventriloquists dolls. There they follow Compari's every order as he performs his nightly show to entertain the hordes in hell, for all of eternity.
