How much do comission's generally cost? I think I like the idea of it.

I'll say that each artist will charge differently. The full range is from $5 to $175. With that said I would say the majority is between $10-$35 and it's up to you and the artist as to whether it's pencil, ink, inked and colored, how many characters.........all that will determine how much.

I've also gone to comic book shows in the artist alley and had plenty of artists sketch me a card for nothing. I bring my own plank cards (out of 100 lb. bristol board cut to size). And some will ask for a small fee. It's fun to talk to them and see the drawing come together in front of you.

Tim nailed the prices right on the head!  Here's a link to my site where you can check-out my numerous commissioned sketch cards:  http://hometown.aol.com/collector838/myhomepage/index.html

I also have an e-mail list of "receptive" artists that are more than willing to do custom sketch cards.  E-mail me if interested in the list!

This is my FIRST EVER sketch card!
It was drawn by Amy Pronovost, who is a well known artist.
I think she recently drew sketches for the new LOTR: Evolution set.

For those who dont know Buffy, its Dark Willow.
Just wanted to share...

Yeah, over on NSU.
We had to draw a skecth card, max. of 3 per person.

I won the card for the my age group, as i was the only one.
This is what I got:

1 - Professional Artist Custom Sketch Card
1 - NSU subscription or subscription renewal (1 year)
1 - $100 gift certificate to Amazon.com

I got to chose a picture of the sketch I wanted drawn, adn again I chose Dark Willow.
I'm yet to spend the voucher, until i get paid again, as I have more than $100 worth that I want to buy  Roll Eyes
