Call for Christmas Card Bids!
So, it's that time of year...the time of year I start looking for artists to draw my Christmas cards. I generally buy a couple high-end commissions, so if you're interested, I've listed what I'm looking for below:
1. Full color, 2+ character images in seasonal attire/situations. Descriptions and refs will be provided. Generally I go for fluffy images--characters hugging or sharing a kiss under the mistletoe.
2. Characters will be fan characters, so the artist has to be cool with drawing fan art from various game sources.
3. Artwork must be in my hands by December 1, 2010 so I have time to print and send the cards. Deadline is especially important this year because of my travel and family situation.
4. I'll need the artist to send me a high-resolution, digital copy.
5. Artist must be cool with me printing the image and mailing it on a card. Credit is given on the back and the images will then be posted to my LJ with full credit and links after the cards go out.
6. I'm comfortable with fronting money to artists I know. If I don't know you, I'd prefer to do half-and-half payments. Half when the order is made, and half when complete.
I'm leaving this post unlocked in case any artist friends want to link people to it. Contact me via LJ PM, comment here or email me at mathiusilverberg AT gmail DOT com
Please send me a general idea for a price of 2 characters in full color. Also, if you're coming in via a friend link, please send a link to samples of your work.
