Anyone want a Ron Lim commission?

[galactus]

I suppose anyone can get in on this, but it's cheaper for those in the NY area (no shipping fees if we can meet up somewhere). I am going to be giving Ron Lim some commission requests over the next week and wanted to see if anyone was interested in getting something? I would need you to pay me beforehand, as I need to send a check to Ron before he sends out the pieces, so please keep this in mind. He sends everything to me, but I would be willing to send stuff out to people if they pay for shipping. If anyone is interested, please PM or e-mail me with what you are thinking of, and I will get a quote from Ron. Be as specific as possible in terms of poses, costumes, or anything else you are particular about. He does pencils only, no inks or coloring. I want to get this info to him by the end of the week, so please get me your requests as soon as possible. Thanks.

If you don't mind, I'd be willing to help you.
Ron Lim will be at WonderCon in less than two weeks. I could help you out Galactus here on the west coast.
Such as, Ron could do the work for someone on the west coast that conatacts you, and I could pick it up, and mail it out or drop it off...If between San Francisco and Oregon.

If I remember correctly, you guys say he's real good with Silver Surfer. Anything else? I might have to get one for myself.

[Wayne Industries]

His Cosmic characters are great.....Thanos, Galactus, Surfer...etc....he's also a great guy and i'm hoping to get something from him at Wondercon.....if I make it......

I have a cover recreation in the works by Ron Lim that is going to rock! I'll post pictures as soon as it arrives.

I cover recreation is a great idea. I would love to get a recreation Silver Surfer #45. Can you tell me how much he charges for cover recreations?

[MONSTER]

I think it depends on the cover. Check with Galactus I as I am sure he can get you a quick response from Mr. Lim.

[galactus]

BUMP. I've got three people so far, so don't be shy. I want to e-mail Ron with the list Thursday night so I can get the quotes on the pieces, so get me any requests before then. Thanks all.

[boondocksaint]

[MONSTER]

hmmmm those dots tell all! :stick:


Only Galactus, Ron and I know. I'd rather just have it be a suprise once it arrives.

Say, could you PM me with what Ron is charging?
I think I might get one. I'll have to search his name on that one comic sight and see what he has done exactly. I'm sure everyone is getting Big G or SS...someone like that. I'd have to choose something a little more unique, or unique for this crowd. ;)

[galactus]

Hey All. Thanks for the requests and PMs about Rons stuff. For anyone that requested a Cover Recreation, Team Shots, or anything which was more involved than a "sketch", I have PMed you Rons e-mail address so you can talk/negotiate with him on your own. When the sums of money get up into those areas, I figure it's better that you talk with him directly so you get exactly what you want.
For those that asked about single sketches, separate sketches of different characters, or 3 or 4 characters together on one page. I will get back to you as soon as Ron replys to my e-mail. Thanks all.

Drew

[jlaavenger]

I'd be interested in a Cover Recreation or Team Shot. Thanks jlaavenger@ev1.net

[OneOne78]

Thanks again Big D!

Ron got my e-mail and said he would get back to me with all the quotes as soon as he could. In the mean time, I wanted to show everyone an old commission from Ron which I just got back from Al Milgrom, who was nice enough to ink it for me (for $$, of course). Before and after pics.

[boondocksaint]

looks good g much better

[galactus]

I sent out PMs to everyone who asked about a piece. I have only heard back (been paid) from a few people so far. I am going to let Ron know the final list on Wednesday, so if I haven't heard back from people by then, you're on your own.

[MONSTER]

Looks sweet G! I had Mark McKenna ink a Ron Lim Thanos way back when and I wish I would have taken a before and after shot.

Post a pic of the piece if you get a chance.

McKenna inks are really nice. I got this Exiles page out in SD last year by him and Jim Calafiore. I liked that it had all the characters who appeared in the series so far (well, those that had been Exiles at least...)

[MONSTER]

Here's a Dr. Doom by Lim and inked by Keith Aiken from 1994 and the Thanos by Ron Lim and inked by Mark McKenna from 1994.

Great page! McKenna is a great guy. When I brought the Lim Thanos to him he actaully offered to take it home with him so he could really do the piece justice. It was well worth it in my opinion.

[Collection King 13]

How much does inking cost?

[MONSTER]

How much does inking cost?


Depends on the piece and the inker. I think I paid $20.00 for the Dr. Doom and $40.00 for the Thanos but that was back in 1994.

[galactus]

Here's a Dr. Doom by Lim and inked by Keith Aiken from 1994 and the Thanos by Ron Lim and inked by Mark McKenna from 1994.

Wow, those look sweet. Good looking stuff there. My piece cost $80 to ink, though that included the shipping cost. Usually, an inker will charge about 2/3s the cost of the pencils to ink it, though thats just a rough estimate.

[MONSTER]

Thanks G! Here's one more I dug out that I thought you might want to see. Its my favorite Ron Lim piece.

Nice. I can't remember 100%, but that's issue #76???

That's the one! I think I am going to have it reframed with the page from the comic.

[Tattoo-X]

Galactus,
Thanks for pussing Ron Lim's work here.
I caught up with him early afternoon of Friday.
Told him my ideas. Gave him some source material. One wasn't really clear.
He said he'll see wat he could do.
Went back that afternoon to tell him I would use my camera to get some better pictures to work with.....
He was already done! Fantastic work!

[galactus]

Thanks to everyone that got their money in. Ron has the list and has already gotten started on some of them. I'm hoping to have them within about 3 weeks, then I can get them out to you guys, so we're looking at about a month or so. I'll keep you guys updated. :buttrock:

[marvelboi77]

Thanks alot, I can't wait for my Spider-Woman sketch. You are the man devour of worlds.

[Tattoo-X]

marvelboi77
Talked to Ron all weekend, he said he would send that one to me. :eplus2: ;)
I'm thinking about having Ron do some of my favorite gals from different teams all together. Torso shot of about 5 characters.
Damn you marvelboi77. First it was to tease you, but now I'm getting hooked on Spider-Woman sketches.

[madjazz]

I also had a chance to chat with Ron Lim last weekend. He is one of the nicest guys you ever want to meet. I wanted a Valkrie sketch. Like Tattoox, I gave him source material and when I went back, done.

I posted these pics on the Wondercon thread, but I'll repost them here. One is the Valkrie sketch he did. He was excited to do that one, because it was one of the few Marvel characters he didn't think he'd done as part of an Infinity project. The second is of Ron and I after convention on Saturday (Ron is the better looking of the two guys in the picture).

[Rogue]

I wish I could afford a sketch by Ron Lim. All I have by him is a very quick convention style Rogue head sketch.

Very nice sketch Madjazz!!!

Ron just e-mailed me today and my cover recreation is done! I'll post pictures as soon as I get it!

[metalsquid]

madjazz, nice t-shirt. awesome taste in music my man! :thumbs2:

madjazz, nice t-shirt. awesome taste in music my man! :thumbs2:
Thanks. I've been a fan since I first heard Working Man/Finding My Way on All the World's a Stage and have seen them in concert at least a dozen times over the years (last time was last summer). They don't get stuck in a rut and aren't afraid to work in new sounds. I still can't believe all that music comes from only three people, and it is probably one of the reasons I harshly judge a lot of music that has come out in the last 20 years.

[bat_collector]

Can't wait to get another batman sketch. My aim is to have a very impressive sketch book all w/ my favorite character.

[galactus]

Hey Folks. Ron's been hit with a few deadlines which is why he's a bit behind on the commissions. The last one he needs to finish up is mine :o and they'll be on their way. Sorry about the delay :stick:

[MONSTER]

Don't worry its well worth the wait:

I've been working on getting a couple of more lined up.
Can't wait. :buttrock:

[galactus]

I just talked with Ron. He said that my piece was still yet to be finished, so I asked him to send the rest out to me anyway so I can get them out to those who ordered them. Hopefully he gets them out to me over the next few days and I can start sending them out next week. I'll let everyone know when they arrive. Thanks for being patient :o

[bigben7]

ill probably get bob almond to ink mine or dave gutierrez, he does alot of gene colans stuff.

[Tattoo-X]

Quote from an email I received yesterday from Ron:

I am FINALLY wrapping up most of my deadlines -- I haven't seen daylight in a while. :) Anyway, I am jumping back into the commissions this week, so I'll be getting to yours soon -- I just gotta send (Galactus) batch out first. Thanks again for your patience!

[galactus]

Ok, Ron finally finished the pieces and I got them today. He had 5 or 6 books to do in about a month and a half, hence the lateness of the pieces. They still look great to me.

The Jedis and Galactus are mine, the Terrax belongs to 67wm, and the Black Knight and Jack of Hearts are going to Avenger.

[rychehitman]

VERY NICE!

Avenger, you scored again brother!

The Galactus and Terrax are AWESOME!

Will he be taking more orders soon?

[67wm]

Thanks again Galactus. After seeing the Jack of Hearts, I may have to get back in touch with Ron. Can't wait for the box to arrive. :buttrock:

[madjazz]

Very cool Galactus!

Look what arrived on my doorstep this week from Ron!

He had the pages when I met him at Wondercon and in the weeks that passed I regretted not picking it up as I am a huge Warlock fan. Thanks for putting me in touch with him.

[Aarrgghh!!]

Great pages, I really miss Warlock (but not that stupid G. Pak book). The Starlin stuff really needs to be collected.

Anyone interested in going in for a cover recreation in ink and 11" x 17" of Silver Surfer issue 74 by Ron Lim.

Once we get the original artwork it would be possible to have digital coloration done and print 24" x 36" posters.

Sorry about the poor quality picture maybe someone has a better one?

[Avenger]

They look great Galactus. :thumbs2: Again Thanks Soooooo very much for helping us obtain these. :buttrock:

[marvelboi77]

Well it's a good thing Galactus scanned the Spider-Woman sketch. Otherwise I might have never seen it. 7 days priority mail and it's still not here. Damn you Post Office.
