Art Sketch Covers

Sketch or blank covers.18093

I like bean sprouts. James42 private msg quote post Address this user
I began collecting blank covers a while ago, but have only had a few actually drawn on. I have begun letting the artist choose the subject, and I'm looking forward to getting more done now that conventions are happening again.







I have also managed to low-key accidentally start a Darth Vader collection.







I like the constraint of the comic book cover as a canvas, and being slabbed makes them easy to display and share with others. Has anyone else got any favourite sketch covers they have commissioned?

I got this from one of our own forum member. I think his name was Noah. It looked nice enough to be a front cover but was drawn on back of a Ronin 1 book.

Awesome covers guys. I've mentioned this before, but I have a couple Rick and Morty sketch covers that are currently getting slabbed, I'll post pics whenever I get those back. I've also been collecting some blank covers lately, hoping to get a couple remarques/sketches from some of my have artist after I finish drawing on them.

Kit is amazing; we buy lots and lots of art from her, which is the peril of having artist friends. I have a Mad Max Furiosa blank I want her to tackle next, but her convention schedule still hasn't settled post-COVID.

Very nice collection!

What do the artist usually charge you for the work?

depends on the artits. or details. artists charge less for bust drawings (basically shoulders...maybe upper torso up) im sure color will cost more

It varies quite a bit. The Francavilla Vader was $100, but Kit only charged me $40 for the Black Panther cover. And the Chirrut Imwe was like $25, because the artist was new and unknown. Usually I spend around $50-100.

I know right...
Jose is a pal of mine. He is in Miami, so I usually see him a time or two when he visits the Orlando area with the fam for the theme parks.
He did the commissions that took him no less than 6+ months on each one. But man, his art is 2nd to no one. I have yet to see a sketch cover with coloring like Jose does. Amazing...
