Back from my little vacation. You can check out pictures to the right on my Flickr. I desperately needed to get out of the city to somewhere with space. Really rejuvinating.
Anyway, as mentioned last week I will be taking commissions. Here are the specs:
1) I will be taking a total of 10 commissions on a first-come-first-served basis. If you would like one, please post a reply to this thread. Don't post your e-mail address just yet. I'll be in touch in a bit about all that.
2) Sketches will be $100 USD each. I know it's a bit steep but I will be penciling, inking and toning them as well as mailing them express from very far away. Well, depending on where you live I guess. Mailing and handling costs are included in the 100 bones, btw. I will also include a link to preview pages from my current project so you can get the skinny on all that as a bonus.
3) I will be drawing them on Japanese board called shikishi. It's a hard board sized at 9.5 inches x 10.5 inches seen below:
4) Payment will be via Paypal only.
5) As for subject matter, I'd prefer something I've drawn before but if you have good reference material I am willing to make exceptions. Considering the square nature of the board, images will be limited to a bust.
I think that's about it. If I think of anything else I'll post again.

I would like a commission piece....All i would have to do is pay a 100 bucks and you take care of the rest? Do i need to send you an envelope or something?
TAK said...
james - You got it. Yes. The 100 bones includes postage and handling. I guess I shoulda written that... Anyway, I'm waiting till I reach 10 requests or something close to it and then I'll be in touch. Thanks!

devonne - not abandoned but on permanent hiatus. I've been busy with other things and can't find the time. Thanks for checking it out though. I hope to get back to it soon.

Damn Tak, I wish I had the $100 I'd love to get a nice C&D from you mounted on my wall. I guess I'll be waiting for the next time around.
Seriously, I'll be putting some cash away in a safe place in case you take some more commissions in the future.

TAK, I'd love another commission. I just dropped you an email too.
Keith said...
Can I still get on the list for commissions? You didn't come to the Calgary show this year, so this is the only way to get my Takeshi art. One question though, will it just be a character or will there be backgrounds and stuff too?
I just picked up the new Spider-Man Family book and it reprints Mary Jane #1. It doesn't seem that old, but your style has changed since then. Not that there is anything wrong with that...haha.
Thanks
Keith

don - got your e-mail. You're on the list! I'll be in touch soon.
keith - Yeah, no Calgary con this year. I heard it went really well. I will only have time for the character but I'm leaning towards making each one super awesome. So, no brush but inking with a dipping pen plus some other cool things. You won't be disappointed.
Yeah, my style did change or rather, I got better? I hope I got better... Thanks for noticing.
TAK said...
flatrabbit - Yeah, $100 bucks is a bit much all at once, I know. But thanks for the shout and hopefully next time!

Hey There! I saw the piece you did on NYCMech.com and would love to get a commission too! Are you still taking them? Be forewarned, I would want a standard superhero (I dig Dr. Strange!). I'll check back soon. Either way, your stuff looks great.
