UPDATE ON HOLIDAY SALE!

[definitely still listening to christmas music all season long]


just thought i'd share our christmas tree that is finally up and ready to rock!

i've decided that i am going to change my holiday sale rates to reflect my hubby theFranchize's rates. that way everything is easy to keep track of and whatnot. and for those that contacted me already about the holiday sale, u WILL receive these new LOWER rates. =) so here goes!

from now until DECEMBER 17, 2012, my commission prices are slashed!
pencils only: $15
inks only: $25
colors: $50
shipping is FREE for digital delivery or mailing inside the US and only $10 for international shipping
prices are for a single character with little or no backgrounds. all prices are per character so get as many as you'd like!

i won't discourage anyone from wanting their original piece of artwork in their hands, but digital delivery is the best way to get your commission in time for Christmas. however, if you want it sent to you, i would highly encourage you to request your commission BEFORE Dec. 17th IF you want it in time for Christmas. the closer to that date, the less likely i'll be able to mail your piece in time for Christmas. (this sale does NOT include sketch card or sketch cover commissions.)
GO TO MY COMMISSIONS INFO TAB for more info on what to expect with your commission. for this holiday sale, all colors are digital (like usual) BUT i will be using 8.5x11" smooth 80# Cover paper! IMPORTANT NOTE - payment must be received before any work is started.
email me at penelope@identitycomics.com if u want one done!

thank goodness for Spotify cuz i get to listen to Christmas music that i really wanna hear. not that the classics aren't good, cuz they're great. but no station plays the more contemporary christmas tunes.
at any rate, just a doodle that i wanted to share. i tweeted it the other week but forgot to post on here. i've been watching a LOT of Brave ever since i got the bluray and i just love love love drawing her hair. fun fact:hair is my favorite thing to draw.

finished inks
finished art - colors by Gabriel Cassata

also, theFranchize and i worked on a store-exclusive cover for the release of Supurbia #1 [written by Grace Randolph, published by BOOM! Studios]. the cover was for our local comic shop in Annapolis, MD called Third Eye Comics. because the subject and mood of the cover was more of my forte, i did the layout for the image and theFranchize drew it. then we did a collaborative effort on the inking and backgrounds. we actually did a signing at the comic shop on Nov. 3rd when it was released and lemme tell ya, it felt great! i could really get used to that kind of attention. =P plus we got to meet Grace Randolph who is quite the fun person to talk to.

HOLIDAY SALE IS HERE!

[listening to all christmas music all the time from now till the new year! cuz i love christmas music! i'd listen all year 'round if it were socially acceptable. =P]

HEY FOLKS! i mentioned on Twitter that i was having a holiday sale and by golly i'm doin it! this holiday sale is for those that would like to give someone a gift of a custom one-of-a-kind artwork. original artwork is expensive because of the amount of work that goes in it, but we can all use a little break in the pockets during the holidays. so whether you get one for a loved one or for yourself (which still counts cuz ya gotta love urself!), this is the perfect time to do so!

starting today Nov 21st until Dec. 17th, my commission prices are slashed!
black and white commissions - $40 ONLY!
COLOR COMMISSIONS - $60 ONLY!!!
shipping is FREE for digital delivery OR $5 for Priority Shipping (US Only/outside US will be an additional fee)

these prices are for a single character with little or no backgrounds. if you want multiple characters, the prices are per character. i won't discourage anyone from wanting their original piece of artwork in their hands, but digital delivery is the best way to get your commission in time for Christmas. however, if you want it sent to you, i would highly encourage you to request your commission BEFORE Dec. 17th IF you want it in time for Christmas. the closer to that date, the less likely i'll be able to mail your piece in time for Christmas. (this sale does NOT include sketch card or sketch cover commissions.)
GO TO MY COMMISSIONS INFO TAB for more info on what to expect with your commission. like the size of the paper (11x14) and that all colors are digital! IMPORTANT NOTE - payment must be received before any work is started.
email me at penelope@identitycomics.com if u want one done!

most wonderful time of the year

sung by practically any artist out there with a christmas album


just thought i'd share what is on my art table tonight. just finished up a long overdue commission for my good friend (and cool artist) Jamie Fay. this is of his original character Nina from his own studio's book "The Neverminds." this was for my DeviantArt sale - 1 year membership for a color commission. i only do that whenever my membership is close to being up.

i just realized that i haven't posted in a while. my last post was right before Sandy and as you may know, we actually were fortunate enough to not be affected as badly as predicted. not sure how but i guess someone up there is looking out for us. despite us being only about 2 hours away from Ocean City, MD and being fairly close to the Chesapeake Bay, we just had lots of wind and rain, but no serious damage.
so between then and now, we got Issue #9 of Fanboys vs Zombies all wrapped up as well as Issue #10! along with those, i drew some AP cards...
Governor's daughter - Walking Dead AP Card

Zatanna & Scarlett Witch puzzle card - DC New 52 AP Card & Avengers AP Card
 
Shazam - DC New 52 AP Card (the Walking Dead AP was actually done by theFranchize)

Blink | Emma Frost | Namorita - Marvel Beginnings AP Cards
....and i did this one Adventure Time Marceline sketch cover for the promoter for Awesome Cons, Ben Penrod. (i like the idea of sketch covers but they sure are hard to draw on sometimes. nothing sticks to them!)
