Commissions
Feel free to reach out at anytime if you want to inquire about a commission.
I typically do these as I would a sketch at a convention: traditional tools on 11x14 inch Bristol board, a bit sketchy, focusing on a character or scene with some action or story to it. This image of the woman with the baseball bat is an example. Prices are $75-$120, typically.
