I just finished another commission and to share it. I may make a print out of this one when I can find the time to color it. I would probably title it something heroic like “Leading the Charge” as opposed to something more snarky like “I’d be dead if I didn’t have this indestructible shield, but you guys follow me anyway!” Eh, maybe not.
I’m still accepting commissions online for sketches and illustrations. This above Captain America piece is a full 11″x17″ illustration commission, drawn in ink on bristol art paper. You can read more about ordering a commission piece from me here.
Just added to my 2013 schedule: I’ll be a Guest at The Eau Claire Comic Con in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. It’s a 1-day show on September 7, and I’ll be there all day, selling comics and prints, and doing original commission sketches. I’ll have my usual convention exclusives like the ever-popular Disco Wing mini-print!
If you know you want to get a sketch from me at the show, you can contact me at chris@christopherjonesart.com and get on my list in advance, which should allow me to complete your sketch in advance so you can pick it up at any time during the show. If you order in advance of the show, I can do a 9″x12″ ink drawing for $50 for the first character, $30 for each additional character.
You can read all about the Eau Claire Comic Con at their website!
And as always, you can check on all my upcoming conventions and signings at the Appearances Page on my web site!
Here’s a piece I just finished for my good friend and collaborator Steven Philip Jones featuring his character Nightlinger fighting The Batman.
I wanted to share the piece in general, but it also nicely dovetails with my current offer of accepting commissions online for sketches and illustrations. This is a nice example of a full illustration commission, as is the Doctor Doom piece below. They’re both drawn in ink on 11″x17″ bristol art paper. You can read more about ordering a commission piece from me here.
For a limited period of time I will be accepting commissions online for original character sketches and illustrations. This will be on a first-come, first-served basis and I can only fit in so many during a gap in my schedule, so get your orders in now if you are interested!
The commissions I do mainly fall into three categories: Character Sketches, Full Illustrations and Cover Recreations.
Character Sketches
I draw these on 9″x12″ bristol art paper in ink, featuring the character(s) of your choice. If you want it drawn in the style of a specific show, want the character(s) to be shown in a specific pose or action, or want the character in a specific version of their costume, please specify when commissioning your drawing. I’m charging $60 for the first character and $40 for each additional character. Some examples of these sketches from recent conventions are below. The images were captured with a smartphone under convention lighting, so forgive the photo quality!
Full IllustrationsThese are drawn on 11″x17″ bristol art paper and are the equivalent of a comic book cover or full-page illustration. These can feature more characters and will include a fully rendered background as the illustration requires. The charge for a full illustration is $300 for up to 6 characters. Some recent comic book art that exemplifies the kind of illustrations I’m talking about are below.
Cover Recreations
I will do recreations of my own covers, or will recreate an existing cover in my own style. Any recreations will include an acknowledgement to the original piece with the signature. Like my original Full Illustrations, these are drawn on 11″x17″ bristol art paper and I charge $300. Let me know what cover you’d like recreated, and any twists you’d like made (such as having the cover re-drawn in an animation style or with characters swapped out for different ones).
 Full Page – Batman Strikes #19 |  Young Justice #11 cover inks |  Young Justice #24 cover inks |
 Avengers EMH #15 cover inks |  Avengers EMH #16 cover inks |  Avengers EMH #17 cover inks |
 Young Justice #14 cover inks | Young Justice #11 cover inks |  Young Justice #25 cover inks |
This offer is for the
original artwork and does not include publication rights to the images. I don’t do any “adult” subject matter, and if I can’t do what you’re asking for at the price indicated, I’ll contact you to see if we can work something out. I’ll ship your artwork to anywhere in the United States for
$10, and will ship internationally as well (shipping costs vary with location). I’ll happily combine shipping on multiple orders.
If you are interested in commissioning some original artwork, please email me at chris@christopherjonesart.com. I’ll email you back to verify details. The easiest payment method for me is Paypal, though if you prefer to mail me a check, I’ll ship the artwork after the check is received.
Here’s part three in a series collecting the art from an unpublished comic based on Gerry Anderson’s UFO. You can read up on the back story of this project in part one.
Below you can pages 16-23 of the #0 issue, comparing the pencil art by myself, the inks by Joseph Rubenstein, and the colors by Matt Webb. Obviously the lettering is not in place.
Page 16 – Foster and a
SHADO Mobile have some trouble from a local hunter AND an
alien UFO that was hidden in a lake.
Page 17 – The
SHADO Mobile takes off in pursuit of the
UFO, which is headed towards London.
Page 18 – The
SHADO Mobiles pursue the
UFO down the M4 highway towards London. So much for SHADO operating in secret! Meanwhile,
General Henderson takes issue with
Commander Straker.
Page 19 –
The Mobiles finally get a bead on the last
UFO, just as
Straker and Henderson run outside in time to see it falling from the sky.
Page 20-21 – A double page spread showing the damaged
UFO crashing to the ground and skidding across the parking lot of
Harlington-Straker Studios (the ground-level cover for the underground SHADO HQ) before coming to a stop at the feet of
Straker and Henderson.
Page 22 –
Foster arrives just in time to watch
Straker and Henderson argue in the aftermath of the
UFO crash.
Page 23 – More talking. More burning.
Page 24 – Straker worries about the future as the #0 issue comes to a close.
This concludes the issue that was intended as a big “Series Finale” in comic book form, and was to have been followed by a
6-issue mini-series that would have been a sequel to
UFO, picking up several years after the time of the TV series.
You can read Part 1 with the project backstory and the first five pages here. Part 2 featuring pages 6-15 of issue #0 is here.
