You can order as many pieces as you like. Tom will not be doing any commissions over the price of $40, which allows him to do more commissions in the 24 hour timeframe. If you’ve seen Tom draw at a Con or watched his recent LIVE Test, you can see what he can do in time allowed, so don’t be afraid to order multiple pieces. The Commission scales are as followed:
1. $10 Head Sketch. The Single Character sketch is on 7.5" x 5.5"; color card stock (chosen in accordance with the character) done in Pencil, marker and paint pen.
2. $20 Head Sketch. The Single Character sketch is on 8.5" x 11" color card stock (chosen in accordance with the character) done in Pencil, marker and paint pen. This sketch allows a bit more character to be shown (just below chest and up)
3. $20 Sketch Card. Single Character, The ONLY full color commissions being taken during the “Draw-A-Thon”. Pen-Ink-Marker. These will be on 3.5" x 2.5" Strathmore Illustration Board Artist Cards. Plain on both sides, but Tom may adhere a special backing for the event.
4. $40 Character Sketch. Single Character sketch is on 8.5" x 11" color card stock (chosen in accordance with the character) done in Pencil, marker and paint pen. This sketch is at least a knee and up view of the character of your choice.
Incentives (FREEBIES!) to ordering over a certain amount:
Order $30 or more and you’ll receive a free 8.5" x 11" print randomly chosen by Tom. He will choose in accordance to your commission. Example: If you choose to get a sketch based on a Venture Brother’s character, he will choose one of his Venture Brothers related prints.
Order $100 or more and receive a free 8.5" x 11" ; print AND a copy of Tom’s 2009 Sketchbook with a corresponding quick sketch on the back cover!
You do NOT have to able to watch in order to get commissions. Tom has received emails and messages stating how upset people were they would be away during his broadcast. You do not have to watch since all commissions will be recorded. You can go back to his USTREAM site and watch your piece be drawn later. USTREAM is also a free service and you do not need to me a member or pay to watch. It is accessible to everyone!
Tom will have full access to his own reference library and the net during this event, NO character is off limits. If there’s an image available, it can happen! He does ask that all commissions be at least PG-13. Tom will not do nude or vulgar pieces. There is a chance children will be watching and Tom will be looking to be on his best behavior and so will the art. Tom will be able to answer questions about work he’s done, upcoming projects and just about anything YOU want to discuss. Movies, Music, TV, comics… its all fair game.
