Chris Stevens now accepting commission requests

[snappahead]

Hey everyone. I've decided to go ahead and open a new list. Official list this time. For those interested, here's the info

My pieces are roughly 11 by 17 on bristol board.

I'm only doing marker pieces now. Except for Alex, but that's a different story hehe

Single character pieces are $250. $150 for each additional character.

For the first time, I'm also offering a bust option. $100 for bust pieces. They'll be done in the same style and quality as my full figure pieces, but it's an option for anyone who's on a tighter budget.

Please send requests via email. I always forget to check for notes here.

chriss2d@suddenlink.net

For anyone new to my work, please check out my DA gallery or check out the other threads in this section.

[Ginchy]

Sent in my request. Hope I'm not too late this time.

[ecthelion]

Crap, crap, crap. Can't afford this now, since I'm looking into buying a car and i will be all broke. But dammit, it's tempting.

Hitchhike, you'll save money and meet interesting people. Of course some of those people will want to kill you and make a suit form your skin, but you will have cool art.

[statman]

Yes!! Email sent.

[thecallahan]

I'm in! :buttrock: (that is if there's still room).

[Statue and Bust]

Money is always tight, but hopefully I made the cut this time. I don't know if I could stand watching another round of commissions knowing I missed out again.

[BeerNutta]

That sucks Paul :( A diamond sounds like good news though....?


Diamond shopping was brutal. Never again.

[Statue and Bust]

Diamond shopping was brutal. Never again.

It was one of the most stressful and unenjoyable experiences of my life, other than actually being married. :bawling:

[jrzmike]

[THECLOWN KNIGHT]

Great! Let the Madness begin!

[statman]

How do you know what number you are?

I asked Chris.

i am not a number, i am a free man !

LOL

[snappahead]

Thanks a bunch for the great response. It's very much appreciated.

I'm getting close to reaching my cap for this list. Please contact me if you're still waiting.

Thanks everyone!

[Ginchy]

I'm new to these terms so what exactly does a a marker piece look like? Will it be color or black & white? And by bust pieces do you mean busts like Bowen? or is it like waist up drawings?

[notvandnobeer]

I'm new to these terms so what exactly does a a marker piece look like? Will it be color or black & white? And by bust pieces do you mean busts like Bowen? Someone explain this to me please.

Take a look here for examples of Chris' marker commissions:

http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryRoom.asp?Order=Date&Page=1&GSub=76784

Bust pieces usually mean waist or chest up as opposed to full figure for the regular commissions.

[snappahead]

Once again, the response from the SF gang's been fantastic. Thank you guys very much for the support. I think I've talked to everyone that's emailed me as of now.

I'm closing the list tonight. As of now actually. If you've sent a request and I haven't gotten back to you, please write me again, so I can take care of you. I've written so many emails today that I wouldn't be surprised if I've missed something.

Again..thank you all very much. I really appreciate all the interest.

Excited to see what everyone is getting. I've got high hopes for mine.:buttrock: No pressure though Chris....but my hopes are quite high.

[THECLOWN KNIGHT]

Chris, I sent you another email just now

I hope you made it into the list. :thumbs2:

He surely will ROCK your Black Cat Commission.

[Magneto]

I´m also in the boat, can´t wait to hold the piece in my hands.

[Black Cat]

Yep, I made it in with a request for Black Cat. So who did everyone ask for?

[Magneto]

I ask for Kiani.

[Black Cat]

I ask for Kiani.

Can't wait to see her!

[Fat Head]

Great pick! I can't wait to see how she turns out!

Here's my Emma BC. She's the prize of my Emma collection.

http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=509083&GSub=54400

He's doing a piece for my pirate theme. I don't even know who/what it's going to be. I told him to pick any comic character he wants and make them a pirate. I don't want a prelim or to even know who it is until it's finished.

He turns them around pretty quick. I've taken too many blows to the head to give specifics, but I'm sure somebody else could. I've always been happy with his speed, though.

[Bishop40]

i rather not know what number i am that way i'll be suprised :buttrock: when i get an email from chris.

[Lizard King]

I just dropped Chris a line. Hopefully the list is still open. I missed out last time. Unfortunately my funds are pretty tight, but the bust commission seems affordable.

[Ginchy]

Lizard, I think he closed it after one night but I hope you get in.

[Mean Green]

List closed; didn't make it. :(

[GerryT]

not this time, youll get in next time i bet !

[kirthew]

Hmmm... maybe in the future Chris could have a 'first timers' list... where someone who has never gotten a commission before could get on the list... I know that I wanted to get on it... but I found the thread, and then boom... it was closed... Just an Idea....

Maybe you should just come here ALL the time like the rest of us and keep an eye on his thread, I mean, the list was open for ALMOST a whole 24 hours before it was closed :tounge: :laugh:

[rilynil]

I need to try to get on the list. But I can't decide what I'd want more: Mysterio, the Vision or Spider-Man.

Thirded.

[Ginchy]

I pretty much joined this forum just so I could keep an eye out for that list opening. But you know what? These frequenters are good company.

Oh yeah, X-23 does sound good.

[kirthew]

I am thinking Zatanna...

[snappahead]

Hmmm... maybe in the future Chris could have a 'first timers' list... where someone who has never gotten a commission before could get on the list... I know that I wanted to get on it... but I found the thread, and then boom... it was closed... Just an Idea....
It's a tricky thing. I'd consider something like that, but I don't want my long time listers to feel cheated either. I do small lists to keep the turn around reasonable, but that also means that not many people can get on each one. I'd like to have as many first timers on the list as possible, but it's hard to pull off. As long as I keep doing lists on a regular basis, hopefully everyone who wants on the list will get there eventually...ideally I won't eventually run out of people who want on hehe, but you know what I mean.
I need to try to get on the list. But I can't decide what I'd want more: Mysterio, the Vision or Spider-Man.

Did someone say Vision?:buttrock:

I did! :D Has someone already requested a Vision commission? Maybe, that's the route I should go!

Not yet strangely enough. I think it's a good choice:)

Some characters I haven't done yet that you might think I would have....

Daredevil (someone asked, but changed their mind)
The Flash
Vision
Hawkeye
Harley Quinn
Sub-Mariner
Storm
Magneto
Vampirella (surprising considering she's almost naked)
Hawkman/Hawkgirl
Aquaman
Martian Manhunter

I could go on, but you got the idea. Still a bunch of major characters that I've never been asked to do.

How many hulks has he done for you so far?

[Ginchy]

Anyone seen anything of their request yet?

[snappahead]

Nope..not yet hehe.

Just to let everyone know. My scanner crapped out and I got a hook up from a friend for a new one that's really sweet, but also a bit old. I'm waiting for a scuzzy port card to arrive to get it hooked up. Should be here today or tomorrow, so I'll be able to send everyone the roughs by weeks end as long as that works out right.

Sorry for being a bit slower than usual. I've had the roughs done for a while now, but the scanner problem's slowed everything down.

[statman]

Thanks for the update Chris!

[Black Cat]

can't wait!

[Ginchy]

Haha, no sweat, Snap. I just thought this thread was oddly quiet. Congrats on the new/old scanner.

[Fat Head]

I'm being oddly patient for some reason.

[Mean Green]

I'm not! I want in on that list!!! :laugh:

[snappahead]

Haha, no sweat, Snap. I just thought this thread was oddly quiet. Congrats on the new/old scanner.
Thanks. It's an older Epson, but it's a beast. 11 by 17 high end scanner that does an amazing job on my marker pieces. I've seen it in action when my friend had it. Once it's up and running, it'll be sweet.
I'm being oddly patient for some reason.
I appreciate that! You're Chris Shields, right? The pirate theme? You might not have to be patient much longer;)
I'm not! I want in on that list!!! :laugh:

Unfortunately, you're going to have to be REAL patient hehe. It'll be a minute before I've knocked this list out and can take on more, sorry to say.

[Fat Head]

I appreciate that! You're Chris Shields, right? The pirate theme? You might not have to be patient much longer;)

That's me! SWEET! Don't forget, no prelim for me, I wanna be surprised!

[Magneto]

I´m waiting now one year for a Kiani Commission from another artist, and I have the feeling your piece will arrive me before this Commission is even started to be drawn. Can´t wait to see the rough. :thumbs2:

[Ginchy]

Snap-

So you send out a prelim in advance? Is that just an approval thing or because you're a nice guy?

[Magneto]

Who's the artist?

I won´t put him in a negative light so I will not say the name yet, sorry. I am pretty sure I will get this piece sometime this year. His problem is that he is very slow and very busy now, and I asked for a painted commission and this needs some time...

I certainly didn't intend for that to be the case. Some artists have that sort of wait, and if their up front about it with you, there's nothing wrong with that. Especially if they're not taking money in advance. I had to wait over a year for my Paolo Rivera piece, but I'd do it again, because the service and honesty was there.

Ok, it´s Gabriele Dell`Otto. Please don´t think negative about him, it´s all ok for me. And I am sure the final result will be worth the wait. For usual he don´t makes at home Commisions so I am really happy he did a exception for me. I know him now since 11 years, so it is a special thing...

[snappahead]

That's me! SWEET! Don't forget, no prelim for me, I wanna be surprised!
There's no prelim...Hopefully, you'll be surprised in a good way..fingers crossed:)
Snap-

Yeah, I do a rough and send it to everyone. It's something I don't have to do necessarily, but I've found it's best. Ultimately, I want everyone to be happy with their piece and to go straight through without showing a rough would certainly lead to a few people who might not be 100% satisfied.

No worries about outing him. The only time there's ever an issue with these types of things is when the artist chooses to ignore emails and stops communicating. Collectors are fans and they're willing to put up with a lot as long as there's good communication.

[Ginchy]

I think a lot of people don't mind waiting as long as the communication is good. I'm having an issue at the moment with an artist who told me he would finish my con sketch up at home and then send it to me. A few days later he told me it was done and that he would mail it out in the next couple of days (so that day I sent the Paypal money). Well, that was a couple of months ago and I have yet to receive any kind of response since to my inquiries.

I like Chris' method with the deposit. It seems fair to both sides. Plus he will actually email you back. :)

You are right, and the communication is very good. I was just afraid that some negative rumors could start about this...

[Ginchy]

I wouldn't worry about that. He is keeping you in the loop through the process and as long as you feel like you are being treated fairly, and you say you have been, then people get that.

When you start to feel like someone has taken your money and disappeared, that's a different story. Anyway, I hope it all works out. I like this person's art and I want to give people the benefit of the doubt. We'll see how it plays out.

[jrzmike]

[Rocket]

Hoooo man, I couldn't be happier about my rough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Magneto]

Great prelims, also the Black Cat Bust options comes out fantastic! They are going up from the hip, that´s so much more like just a bust piece.
But for me it would be hard to decide which number I should take. I like 1, 3, 4 and 8.
Really hard choice, I´m glad that I received only one prelim which I immediately loved...still not sure if i should post it here or if it´s better to wait and to show just the finished piece....

[GerryT]

i prefer seeing prelims after the piece is done.its like opening your christmas presents the day before showing them first.
that said, theyre all very cool so far !

[abarron]

Great prelims guys

[statman]

That Grifter is going to be so cool! Can't wait to see the Black Cat too.

Secret mate, but as soon as I have a scan you will know my friend :D

Heh. Gotcha. Fair enough.

I know people are hesitant to post their prelims because they don't want to ruin the surprise but I'd love to see some of the past prelims if anyone wants to throw them up. I love seeing the different parts of the process.

[mwf6171]

Man, I really got to get on his list next time. My brother is getting something from Chris, but can't remember what. I think he was around #21, so he will have a bit of a wait, I am sure. :)

Phew...well it looks like the list is officially finished. It felt like I was taking forever, but now I realize it's only been three months. Not bad for 28 commissions.

Once again the SF gang has come out in full force to give me support and I can't thank everyone enough. It's a great feeling to see so much enthusiasm for my work and it gets my blood pumping. Thank you very much guys!!!!

I'll be taking a little bit of a break before doing another list so those who missed out last time or are ready for another one, please bare with me heh.

The next time I post an open call for commissions I'm going to do a warning post first. This way, it'll give everyone time to see it and know when the official open call will begin. I'll give a date and maybe even a time, so it doesn't close before people even know it was ever open.

Thanks again everyone. It's been a real pleasure as always:)

If you haven't gotten a commission from Chris yet, make sure you get on this next list. My Thor was delivered a couple days ago and it looks so much better in person. The scan doesn't do it justice.
