$10 Commissions!

[Powder]

Tryna get some dough on the fly, so I'm offering commissions at a low price.

8.5x11 cardstock, single character, inked, bust or full body, little to no background. Flexible on personalization (like adding apparel, accessories, specific pose, etc). If you don't want something in particular short of the character, it'll just be a dynamic pose or in-action shot.

I can do mirage styled turtles, toon/archie, 2k3, Nick, etc. Just tell me your preference.

Here are some examples of my work (though not necessarily reflective of your piece).

I'll draw pretty much any TMNT character within reason. If you're interested, shoot me a message!

[HotJuicyBurgers]

That krang picture is pretty cool!

[jacobzking]

That krang picture is pretty cool!

def my fave!

[JOEMOE]

I am interested, how many hours do these take to make?

[Andrew NDB]

Jesus, you've come a long way.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Man I'll consider this

[Powder]

Just for the record, since a few have asked, yes, I do take other kinds of commissions. Bigger paper, additional characters, etc. This is just a special thing I'm doing for the hell of it. If you want something that doesn't fall under what I've offered in the opening post, don't hesitate to ask. Prices vary of course, but I think it's all fair.

One down. A bust of Slash. The fella who commissioned it didn't have a preference on which version of the character to use so I took a few creative liberties of my own.

Thanks!

It's all over the place depending on the level of detail, technique, etc... If I were to give an estimate on the average times... I dunno, I guess between and hour & a half to four hours. Sometimes less, sometimes more.

Jesus, you've come a long way.

Thanks man, I appreciate that.

Man I'll consider this

Doooo it.

[pl212]

Awesome Slash! :D
Hope you get some more commissions.

[Mzx10484]

Everything looks very artistically, this must be said. The second one from the top is my taste. Looks great ! I'm interested. Best regards from the maddening Purple Super Shredder advocate...

[Drose18]

Wow these drawings are great!

Thanks everyone!

Here are two more completed pieces, though they weren't $10 as the grey tones cost a bit extra. $10 will get you this same level of work, just black & white. Don't mind the crappy photos, my scanner is on the fritz, as they say. They really do the art no justice as I've put in tons of tiny details with a pen tip fine as an eyelash. Should have scans in the near future, though.

[DonatelloFan]

Awesome pieces.

[Lampy]

Holy Crap Powder! My, what freakin talent dude!

[ComicBookBoy]

Awesome Slash!

[Dark_Warrior]

duuuuuuuuuuude is that my don?
i hope so cus it's freaking awesome! i have no self control lol
the face looks fantastic, i can't say enough good things about it i love all the little extra details you put into it especially the super long bandanna tails

Thanks everyone!

Haha, yep, that's yours, man! I'd be happy to do the other turtles, shoot me a PM when/if you're interested! All else are welcome too.

[Dark_Warrior]

Pm sent sir ;)

[Powder]

Finally got my scanner hooked up, so I figured I'd post some nice shots of pieces I've done so far. I'm pretty busy right now (thanks so much to those of you taking interest!) but still taking commissions. They're fun, relatively quick to do. I enjoy it. & for those wondering, the greyscale commissions cost a bit more.

Dunno if there's any interest but I can do 'sketch card' style commissions too.

What's left on my list-

Harley Quinn pin up
Group shot of the turtles
Something for Donatellofan
Leo & Mike

Thanks again to those of you who have commissioned me thus far, I realy appreciate it. & some have gone out this week!

[Powder]

I forgot to scan the pieces I sent out this week, unfortunately, though I did happen to take a picture of this one. (Which is not a $10 piece, by the way, haha.)
http://i46.tinypic.com/rmivly.jpg

Still open for commissions! Business has been good, turnaround is pretty quick, and everyone has been happy with the results to my knowledge! Thanks a lot to those of you taking me up on this, I really appreciate it!

[Dark_Warrior]

i love the four pieces i got done and that latest piece looks amazing!

[TheCanadiandrome]

damn Powder, lookin good dude

[patz75]

Love it! Great job!

[j_phae-41]

are you still doing commissions?

if so I got some ideas

[Powder]

Indeed I am! & I've got to send one out to Donatellofan this week. Won't post that until he gets it, though.

[J Mondo]

Looks great!

Any examples of Metal Head and/or Mondo Gecko?

[Powder]

Not specifically, no, though I did just finish a piece that has the bust of Metalhead in it. I can do virtually any character with accuracy to whichever TMNT universe you prefer, though.

Recently I've gotten the Nick style down, so I'd LOVE it if one of you commissioned me for one like that.

I also did something of the OT turtles for Dirtyblond, so here's proof I can emulate that style as well.
http://i48.tinypic.com/23tqrdc.png

This piece is one I did in the old school mirage style for Donatellofan. (If you're him, don't click this until it arrives, shouldn't ruin the surprise! :trazz:)

A Mirage styled Raph/Casey for Raph12. Still taking commissions! :)

[DonatelloFan]

Sorry I haven't said it sooner, but yeah, I got it a little while back. Awesome work. Thank you.

[JoshDA7X]

Super excited for mine!! :)

[Jay $tarkiller]

Support the Powderman..badass pieces & fair prices, can't get better than that. I'm already on my second 'mish:tgrin:

[spp]

Would you do non TMNT commissions? PM me if so! Thanks!

[Powder]

I had answered spp in PM but to anyone else curious, yes! If you want a comic book, anime, cartoon, or otherwise non-TMNT character, feel free to inquire! I'm a bit busy at the moment but still open to taking on more.

[Jephael]

I just had an idea for a non-TMNT commision, though at the moment I'm saving up for SDCC. How long will you be offering this $10 deal?

[gobo]

Nick Leo washing Jason Biggs's mouth out with soap.

[Powder]

Probably for a while yet, especially for dromers. It's been fun & I'll always be in need of the dough, haha.

[Endurs03]

Do you sketch by hand or do you use a program? I am a big fan of gucomics.com and he uses some sort of art pad. I'm not sure, as I don't know much about drawing. I'm horrible and color outside the lines.

Anyhow...I'd pretty interested in a Triceraton avatar for the forums. Like, maybe an OT Triceraton that maybe you could make to look like the Nick series? Possibly a prediction on a Nick CGI Triceraton....interested?

[Powder]

I do both. Primarily I draw digitally, with what they call a tablet, in programs like Sai & Photoshop. The stuff in here that's colored is digital. What I'm offering is traditional ink on paper commissions but I'm happy to do digital ones for the same price too.

As for your inquiry I'd be happy to do it, just shoot me a PM with any other specifics and we'll arrange something. :)

[gobo]

Nick Leo washing Jason Biggs's mouth out with soap.
Doable? O_o I'd love to see it.

[Powder]

Pfft, my bad, I thought you were just joking dude. Yeah man I could do that if you're actually interested in it. $10 a character makes it twenty bucks to do. If you wanna make it happen just shoot me a PM! :trazz:

[Endurs03]

I'd throw in $5 if everyone agreed to try and make it viral and make Biggs apologize for all his rude tweets.

He's a jerk.

[Powder]

Here's Endurs' Triceraton based mostly on its action figure. This was a 100% digital commission.

http://i46.tinypic.com/ljxg4.png

For those of you potentially interested in one of these I draw them in a much higher resolution, I just resize them for the forums.

[gobo]

In case you overlooked my poorly-titled PM, just gimme some indication that you can do an obviously-identifiable Biggs, and I'm sure I'll be able to scrounge up $20. I've never seen any human faces you've done (supposing there are any).

[Powder]

My bad, I forgot to reply. I'll doodle his face later and PM you it so you can see I'm capable.

[Endurs03]

He looks great powder. Man I love triceraton. $10 well spent.

[snake]

Thats great artwork. As always powder.

[Veedubguy83]

Nice work Powder! What drawing pad do you use for your digital art ? I had been thinking about jumping into it, but am too comfortable with traditional pencil and paper...

[Powder]

I use the Bamboo Create by Wacom with Paint Tool Sai & Photoshop CS5.

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

I'm almost tempted to pay you $10 to do your own rendition of the avatar I already have...

[Slade]

If you can do Raph the way movie Leo is In your sig I'm all over it

[JoshDA7X]

I'm loving the Leo that Powder has done for me and I'm currently waiting on Mikey and Metalhead from the new Nick toon. I cannot wait!!! :)

[Powder]

It'd be no problem, just shoot me a PM sometime.

Replied to your PM. :)

:D Here they are in all their glory!

These are all digital commissions that I have done lately (at varying prices given the additional characters/details). They're done in a much higher resolution, mind you, but those are on my deviantart (link in sig), not the drome. Got a biiiig traditional one in the works for Raph12. I am gonna take a break from taking on any more of these for a week or so because I'm getting a bit behind, but if anyone still wants to talk details, feel free to PM me!

Thanks again to all of you who've taken interest, done business with me, or just showed any other form of support! I really appreciate the kind words.

[Alex]

You are really talented. Love all of them.

Do you ship abroad as well? If yes, do you know what the shipping cost would be to Sweden for one piece?

[JoshDA7X]

Could not be happier with mine! This level of work for $10 is a steal! :)

[Jay $tarkiller]

Got a biiiig traditional one in the works for Raph12.

Can't wait to see the first layouts! Gonna be siiiiiiick! :tgrin:

[Powder]

Been a while since I bumped this. Still been taking commissions all along, but at various price points for more work/detail. Here's some of them!

Group shots & the like will obviously be more costly.

These are all traditional ink on paper commissions.

Did 2 this last week courtesy dromers. One digital and one traditional.

[Master Splinter]

I still stand by one of my original comments. I'd love to see something more original from you Powder. TMNT, Pokemon, etc is great and all but what about something more original? Not saying I want to purchase a commission but I'd love to see what you can come up with that isn't based off something else.

-ms

[Powder]

Like I said last time you brought it up, I have no interest in creating my own characters. Music is where I develop my own ideas and concepts, art is just an outlet for me to take part in fandoms.

[Slime State Alumni]

I'm really surprised by the lack of consistency there is in the quality of your work. Some images are really strong and well rendered while others not so much; and it's not even the shifts in styles that does it. I have a similar issue, so don't take this critique personally.

Creating something original doesn't have to involve creating characters. It could be as easy as illustrating a dragon, or a house sitting on the edge of a cliff in a surreal environment. You have insane talent, in my opinion I think you are holding yourself back.

While there are many steps involved in making each picture that vary in style, technique, tools, etc. I believe I am fairly consistent. The exceptions to that would be based on intent.
Besides that, I'm always trying different things and evolving as an artist. I put in the same amount of effort each time, but things change along the way.

I don't have any interest in doing those sorts of things at present. I'm just having fun. I appreciate your kind words and input nonetheless.

Besides that, I'm always trying different things and evolving as an artist. I put in the same amount of effort each time, but things change along the way.

Fairly consistent is a modest statement. Intent in illustration is key and that doesn't always show in some of your work. I'm not saying you're not trying or that your effort varies, but there are noticeable issues.

It's not a bad thing, it just means you have room to adapt and grow as an artist, and it's great that you're trying new techniques and styles. I know it's an old saying, but it's true: the more time you put into it the more you get back. Again, that's not a bad thing. At this rate, these issues will dissipate with time because it looks like you're consistent with your output; and based on previous comments about your work from other members, you already have shown considerable improvement since your first few images posted here. I look forward to seeing what you do in the near future.

Well, whatever the criticisms may be I really dig that Usagi!

[Doomsdayninja]

Did you recieve my payment?

[Powder]

Yep. Already sketching it out, mang.
