Scored a pretty excellent Red Sonja by the late Dave Hoover on eBay for a song: The eBay listing had it listed as an "art print", but after actually receiving it in the mail I'm preeeeety confident it's actual original artwork and the seller just didn't know what he had. Either way it looks fantastic in person and it'll go great with the She-Hulk and Witchblade artwork I'd commissioned from Dave when he was still alive. He was a real class act and it's a shame that he's passed away. Somebody fucked around with this message at 14:39 on Jan 4, 2014 |

You'd be hard-pressed to get Dave Hoover to do another Witchblade since he's no longer with us, but you can see all of my commissioned art at http://xenomrph.deviantart.com I've got a ton of Witchblade, She-Hulk, and Red Sonja commissions there, and I've actually got a whole portfolio of original (but non-commissioned) art I haven't gotten around to posting there yet. I also have some commissions I've gotten from a few cons that I need to scan and post from lesser-known artists I met at the cons, but like an idiot I've forgotten some of their names. I'd love to share their work in my deviantart gallery, but I'd feel like a colossal rear end in a top hat if I couldn't give the artists proper credit.

Does she have a website or anything, I'd certainly like to commission her.

Goddamn, $1200? I wish I had that kind of money to spend on original art.  That Black Widow is righteous too, dare I ask how much that was?

I bought some original art on ebay and the seller shipped it rolled up in one of those poster tube things, any tips for flattening it so I can put it in my art portfolio binder without terminally loving it up? The artwork is on pretty heavy art paper (I don't know the technical name for it).

I got a Mara Jade sketch card by Patricio Carrasco, I think it's pretty cool!

RevKrule posted:Closing in on some majors here and definitely deep in season (already had C2E2 and Wondercon), anyone have anything new? I'd say after waiting more than two years without any update on the commission, you're not the cock, they are. I once waited like 4 years on a commission, all the while the artist was posting up new sketch covers on eBay on a nearly-daily basis (and making bank on them). I learned that I was one of dozens of people who had paid this guy for commissions and then were left twisting in the breeze for years, so a bunch of us bombarded him on social media until he gave us refunds.

RevKrule posted:Moved to SoCal recently and found out I'm a couple miles away from a bunch of comic/pop culture art galleries, including Nucleus who was doing a Babs Tarr/Motorcrush signing and art show yesterday. Now I'm poorer but will be able to take home this Jen Bartel beauty in a couple weeks when the show is over. How much did that set you back, if you don't mind my asking?

Have you guys ever bought any prints from Sideshow? I got one and it came in the mail rolled up in a tube mailer, if I'm looking to get it framed should I leave it rolled up and let the framing people handle it, or am I expected to flatten it out myself?

Aphrodite posted:I have a few from them but I get the framed ones because I'm lazy and also really lazy. I contemplated buying the framed ones, but $250 framed vs $90 unframed made me think I could save some money getting them framed myself. Then again I don't know how much frames cost or what places offer the best deals for framing.

I've got a ton of original art as well that I might want to get framed someday, but I have so much that I couldn't frame all of it but I'd also be interested in having a sort of "rotating display". Is that a viable option? Like, frames where it's reasonably easy to change out the artwork inside? The vast majority of the artwork I've got are pretty standard sizes - 11x17, 11x14, 9x12, stuff like that.
