As of now my convention schedule includes Dallas Comic Con and London Super Con in February, MegaCon in March, , Boston Comic Con in April; Motor City Comic Con and Houston’s Comicpalooza in May, Supanova Perth and Sydney in June; Florida Super Con and San Diego Comic Con in July. There are other shows still in negotiations,but these are the confirmed shows. Pass the word…George PérezTo help those interested to make their decisions: Rates for my 2013 pre-convention commissions are as follows Marker Portrait (9”x12”-chest up): $125 Marker Portrait with Pencil Tones: $175 … Marker Mini-Bust (9”x12”-waist up, including arms): $225 Marker Mini-Bust with Pencil Tones: $275 Marker Full Figure (on comic board @ 11”x17”): $325 Marker Full Figure with Pencil Tones: $400 All sketch prices are for single figure only*, usually with no backgrounds unless I choose to add a small bit like rocks, starry skies, geometric shapes, etc.** • I also can do Portrait and Figure combinations like Galactus’ head looming over the rSilver Surfer for $500 (marker only) or $675 (with tones) or two characters interacting (at double the single character rate) LIMIT IS TWO CHARACTERS PER ILLO. • **For the Full-Figure sketches I now offer a little extra detailed background (a gargoyle for Batman to stand on, some machinery, trees, etc., for an extra $100) Payment is to be in cash (in US Dollars, if possible, at foreign shows) when you receive the artwork at the convention. LIMIT TWO COMMISSIONS PER PERSON PER CONVENTION There are plenty of examples of my sketches on my FB pages so that should give you an idea of the quality I strive to achieve to justify the high prices. Starting September 5th, if you’re still interested I just need to know which convention you’ll be attending, the character(s) you’d like, and the format. First come, first served. Good luck!See More</a>George Pérez Fan Page
