Xmas Commissions

Commissions

SO MUCH work is *almost* done & I've got to get a couple things out of the way I am hellishly late on... among them a couple commissions, so if I'm in that mode, I figure with bills to pay as Xmas approaches and a day or so set aside to take on a limited number of online commissions. All to be done & mailed before I flee the country for the sweaty festering heat of Australia.

 

So, with all the requests I get, now's the time to get something off me if you can never make it to a con.

 

I'm only taking commissions to be finished & mailed off by December 9th. Very limited slots available as I already have a few to finish. ( Some super late ones I will *finally* get done as I clean up my outstanding commitments from my annus horribilus...oh so much to clean up! )

Details below. email me at bentemplesmith@gmail.com if you want anything.

 

Grey toned head sketch $100

 

US letter size grey toned watercolour painted 2 ( usually with a spot colour if it works ) 2 characters max: $250

US tabloid size, 11x17 inches, again, watercolour painted  ( usually with a spot colour if it works ) 2 characters max: $400

each extra character: $50

 

Postage is USPS Priority mail,  $15 for US domestic $30 for Outside the US.

Paypal only of course. 

DRACULA

Bram Stokers Dracula 

 

 

 

Bram Stoker's Dracula

None of that Twilight pussy shit here.

Art painted on an actual book, that came with a blank cover. Damn I love doing them.

& it's my weekly Ebay thing if anyone wants it too.

ZOMBIE SQUID KING THING

SQUID KING 2
 
Lord of the Tentacle, his holiness, his toothiness, the cephalopodic despot, SQUID KING. Almost out of time on ze Ebay, spare the world from his squidly wrath before the end of the night. Etc.
 
Hard at work, oh the things to show shortly.

Saint Lovecraft

SAINT LOVECRAFT

 

Phew, so no update for awhile, sorry. Don't know if I'm coming or going! Far too much travel, barely any time for a new home base, though NYC continues to be one of the most amazing cities on the planet, with NYCC being a blast. Cheers all who came out to see me. May the Mighty Space Squid praise you all, etc etc.

 

Conventions for the year are done. Sadly had to cancel my ThoughtBubble UK  plans and all such there. Major bummer....just not enough time left in the year if I'm to actually get work done as well. Of which there is much and many many people clamoring for me to get back to things. Which finally, I am. Yes, CHOKER and FELL will see daylight sometime soonish. Sooooonish. Also a new studio set up ( I'll post pictures when it's habitable ) actually... 2 new studios... as by good luck of being a gracious human being ( or some such creature ) Menton3 will be helping me learn oil painting. If you don't know him yet, check out his new book, ( With Kasra Ghanbari, ) Monocyte, put out via IDW. Not your typical comic.

 

Working on some stuff I can't talk about too. Not yet, at least. Big stuff. As well as putting a few Ebay auctions up.

 

You can still find me in all these places, if so inclined.

So here's a few bits of art I've done lately. I'll try and resume regular updates soon with more WIPs, ( though feel free to follow me on instagram as "Templesmith" if you want to see some earlier. ) Saint Lovecraft up above, by the way, is a con exclusive print I had at NYCC.

FRANCE AND NYCC

Wolverine final orginal
 
Well, I'm about to head off to France, for a film festival in Strasbourg I'm actually on the jury for... I know, just a little bit insane. Even more so, it's with George Romero. I'm zipping all about the place and I've just based myself in the most awesome New York City.
 
Coming up though, in my new home town is NYCC ( NEW YORK COMIC-CON HUZZAH! ) and it's going to be a big one so.... commissions wise, I'm already filling up fast so thought I'd publish my info for such things at cons. Might want to get in now before I completely fill up. email me at: bentemplesmith@gmail.com if you know what you want after reading below!
 
I should be in Artist Alley somewhere, almost the whole time.
 
First off, if you just want a quick sketch at conventions, those are absolutely free, as is the conversation! I just have to draw what I can easily...so kind of my choice so I don't get totally mentally exhausted with requests... and I love to personalize them too.
 
Currently not accepting commissions via online. Sorry! Got several I yet need to do and other crushing deadlines on main projects.
 
Commissions at US shows ( Internationally, I just do a rough conversion to euros or pounds etc ) Grey toned head sketch $80
 
US letter size grey toned watercolour painted 2 ( usually with a spot colour if it works ) 2 characters max: $200
 
US tabloid size, 11x17 inches, again, watercolour painted  ( usually with a spot colour if it works ) 2 characters max: $350
 
each extra character: $50
 
I do tend to start lists for shows before conventions, because I'm a trusting soul and can arrange to get some done a little ahead of time to fit more people in. If you know you'll be at a show and want one off me, email me: bentemplesmith@gmail.com pickup and payments at the show though. Huzzah.
 
Cash only at cons, cheers.
 
Current shows I *know* I'll be doing the rest of this year.
 
New York Comic-Con
Some French stuff
Thoughtbubble UK
 
And on festivals...If anyone wants me out at a show, just drop me a line. Have a nasty habit of usually accepting invites to conventions!
