Well it has been a while since I was on here so HELLO  Grin

I thought I would start by sharing one of my Christmas presents from my brother Bogleg and my more normally named other brother Martin.

These amazing sketch cards are by the immensely talented Sean Pence.  They may look like one large picture but are in fact a nine card set.  I know this is said many times but a scan does not do these justice - in the reality they are simply wow!

So thank you to the 'boys' and especially to Sean  Grin


WOW is right!!!!!

Your Cards are FABULOUS!!!

Are they something you could find on Ebay??? I wish Artbox would get sketch cards into the HP sets, and sooooooon Praying

Thanks for posting the images Smiley

Bogleg contacted the artist and commissioned the sketches.  There are many great artists who will do the same thing.  Occasionally, good HP sketches appear on eBay.  If you look through scans of sketches from various sets (like LOTR, Star Wars, Wizard of Oz, Shrek the Third, and many more) and find some artists you like, you can e-mail them to find out if they're currently doing commissions and what they charge.

By the way, there are HP sketches in this thread and also here:  http://www.theyakshack.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,5038.0.html

A good place to start is the Scoundrel site.  If you register there, you can get e-mail addresses and websites.  You can also use Google to find artist websites.

Also, bear in mind that I told the artist I wasn't in a hurry. In the case of Sean Pence, I commissioned in February and got them in November. As I give them as prezzies, there will always be a birthday or Christmas coming up.
