Thanks for the in-depth answer, Toddoss. I was having a scoot about on Ebay after I posted my original comment, there are some quite attainable sequentials that I'd quite like, but now I'm after something a bit more personal. Your information has now set me off to get one! Hopefully I may be able to post something here in the coming months, I just gotta work on the wife to release the funds (a whole different ball-game lol).Originally Posted by Toddoss
First off let me say that I notice you put that in pounds and while I could convert it I think I'll let you do that.I'm lazy (what did you expect I'm American)
Well in my experience most commissions (single character, pencils) will run you $20-$50 for an unpublished artists that has decent art. You're lookin at $50-$100 for published professional (non-super star level) than for your Jim Lee's and other crazy super stars $300-$600 for commissions. These of course change based on the size of the commission and what mediums (pencils, inks, markers)
You also have your original art sequentials from books that vary significantly from page to page and artist to artist. With that said for many artists of note expect to pay between $200-$600. This will change based on what characters are on the page or if its action or dialouge. A page with a crazy action shot with wolverine could go for upwards of $1000 based on the artist. Or if say it colossus and Kitty talking in the mansion kitchen it could go for $150 it all depends.
So for what you're willing to spend you could get a pretty stellar catch on one original art at a convention or a few good ones depending on how you swing it.
To be honest I have a paypal card that I use to get paid for all my art stuff and I always sneak "expenses" for things like comissions or comics. My wife and I have a unsaid agreement that as long as it comes out of my art funds she doesnt need to know that it even happened.

I think adding an unnoticable one more comic to my book shelf is different than coming home with stripper glitter on my face and herpes however you all do make a valid point!

Just got another color commission done for a piece that I penciled and inked colored by the still Amazing Mark Robert, he did my Thor piece, and this puppy is ready for print!
I was really happy with this one.

Toddoss, did he color this with Photoshop? The texture suggests another medium, but then again, that look might be intentional with Photoshop. It almost looks airbrushed or painted with brushes in certain places.
not positive but I believe its all been in photoshop.
