|  "Commissioning fan art..."
, posted Thu 15 Aug 18:34
So I followed the link to Falcoon's stuff, and I said 'wow...'.
So my band may or may not be putting out a CD later on, and I was thinking, 'stuff like that would be beyond badass for the cover art.'
And then I thought, 'How much would it cost to get a guy like Falcoon, or any other fan artist with skills like that, to draw for a little band out in CO?'
And then I muttered, 'I don't know.'
And then I decided, 'I know! I'll ask at the cafe! Smartest people in the world! ...At this kind of stuff! They'll know all the answers to my fanboy questions!"
So? Any of you guys commission stuff from anyone? I'm down with throwing down one or two hundred US, but past that, I'll take my chances that my stick figure art on the cover will be regarded as 'edgy' and 'cool'.
And it is neither.
Thanks,

I'd be willing to draw a cover for you... but I'm no where near Falcoon good so you'll probably want to pass on that offer...

You might have a little trouble hiring Falcoon because of the language/currency barrier... but there's plenty of artists for hire on the internet... myself included. A good place to look for artists is http://www.digitalwebbing.com and if you're looking for specific anime/manga style, go to http://ocad.syste.ms
Well, I dig on some of the older stuff Falcoon was doing in his earlier galleries, with the 2-tone portraits and stuff, but I'm not even halfway through the back-galleries yet. So in a nutshell I don't know, but something cool.
And, Fuchi, I had thought about that, but I actually have a number of buddies in Japan that could help me out, so I'll leave that up in the air for now.
But what I really wanted to know was "what is the going rate for a pic that the owner gets full rights to?"
I'm not even sure if the CD will be made or not, so I'm just seeing what's out there as far as art could be concerned.
You artists have a page with your stuff on it? More options means more satisfaction.
Er... for me. =)
