What payment methods are you guys using? Would cash be acceptable?

I don't believe its the # of characters in the picture, but the size of the picture that really matters. Additionally it is the medium (sketch vs painting), and b&w vs color that makes a difference price wise.
But if you have questions, just ask Craig (A.C. F) he was really nice and will explain everything. |

He did mention to me that same day, "It may take awhile since I have quite a few of these to do suddenly. I'm going to do them in the order that I get payment." Geez I wonder why he's so busy Don't worry he'll get back to you. |

Well, I'm taking a chance. I just emailed him. Hopefully I'll get a response, as many who emailed him early on still haven't gotten anything. Here's hoping.

No guarantees this is the case of course, but I imagine it might have to do with how much work you're expecting of him.

I suspect the same. Most of the artists I've dealt or communicated with have had similar pricing. Con sketches can range from free to $50. Standard commission pricing for single character are usually $80-$125 for the first character and $50-$75 for each additional character, inked with simple or no background. Jim Lawson, who is one of the most affordable tmnt artists to commission, normally charges about $300-350 for a 6 character b&w piece. If I had to guess, Farley would probably charge $500-600 for a 6 figure. I would sooo love to commission a painting from him, but that'll probably run me a grand. |

Everytime I see this thread bumped, I get excited someone posted a pic of what they got.

Ha, it's a bit soon for that methinks, but I share that same excitement, mostly due to the fact I am reminded this is happening! Very cool.

I just hope to get a reply. I know he's busy now, though, so it's probably going to take a little while. Hope to see some nice artwork on here soon.

If it serves as a good benchmark, I waited over a year for that two page spread from him for TMNT #25.

Yeah... I've been thinking about that. I'm hoping that was just due to pressure he may have felt due to doing work to be printed, work of characters he'd not touched in 15 years or so. He's done a buncha turtle things since then, hopefully there's very little rust to brush off on the 'ol drawing hand. I don't mind a wait of course, but I do mind not being in the know...
