Comissions and Wondercon wrapup

Much to catch up on, but important news first. For the first time in years I'll be accepting commissions for drawings! Custom drawings of any character or group you can think of. What a bonanza!

Here are the prices for a 9" x 12" picture -

Single figure pencil: $30

Single Figure inked: $40

These may or may not include a bit of background or other elements, depending on how I think the composition works best. Also, the single figure could be a bust if you like. (Same price as a full figure, because I'll be putting extra work into the face detail, hair, etc.).

Add-ons -

Background: add $20

Each additional character: add $20

11" x 14" size: add $20

Shipping is included for U.S. - extra for other countries, based on actual cost.

Send your requests to me by email: contact@megaflowgraphics.com. For payment, Paypal is preferred, but I can accept a check if you have to do that. ;)

I'm excited to give this a try! I'll be posting these on my here blog as I do them. Hopefully there will be a lot of good ones.

And in other news, Wondercon went great! I sold a lot, caught up with good friends, and actually had some fun (which, frankly, I hadn't expected). There's a wrap-up of the con and some interviews with fellow artists on the latest episode of my podcast Ninja Mountain.

Also while at the con I was on the awesome podcast "Cammy's Comics Corner" on one of Cammy's crazy "Drinky Talky" episodes. That's right, me and a few other hep comics creators (Kat Rocha, Josh Finney and Jules Rivera) had some alcohol and talked comics. You can listen here.

That's about it at the moment. Talk to you later!

Digital Painting Seminar at WonderCon!

Well, if you missed my seminar at MacWorld last month, then you'll be happy to know that I'm doing another in the very same venue (the Moscone Center in San Francisco) for WONDERCON next month. And this one, while sadly a half-hour shorter (only one hour) is no extra charge for convention-goers.

Here's the birds-eye lowdown on the caper, whatever that means:

Digital Painting Demo – Patrick McEvoy (Starkweather: Immortal, Fall of Cthulhu) will demonstrate the art of digital painting with Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter. Using examples from his work on the Marvel Style Guide and art for Wizards of the Coast, Patrick will step through various techniques to create a fully rendered painting, including color blocking, textures, lighting, blending and more. Learn how to bring a fully-painted look to your digital artwork!

Digital Painting
Friday, APRIL 2
6:00-7:00pm
ROOM 204/206

Hope to see you there!

WonderCon wrap-up

Well, I'm back from WonderCon and boy are my arms tired. Literally! I had to carry a bunch of luggage close to a mile, and my muscles still feel stretched...

First, I just wanted to give a big thanks to everyone who came to my Digital Painting seminar at WonderCon. I had an incredible time, and it was great to see so MANY people in the audience. I was truly wondering if everyone was in the right place. :) But you laughed in all the right places and asked great questions. AND the applause at the end was unexpected and touching.

And thanks to all for being so forgiving of my fumbling around on the PC keys. I only got stuck a couple of times... Maybe someday I'll get a Mac laptop instead of having to borrow my friend's PC (and thanks again for my pal Salaam for swinging it by for me).

I sent a letter off to the programming director at WonderCon and asked how I'd be able to do the same thing at SDCC - I had that much fun. I'd do a similar show with some different pictures and a LOT more of an idea how to work the PC this time. I think it might be fun. I'll let you know if that goes anywhere.

Also, it was spectacular catching up with friends and meeting new ones. The Archaia booth was hopping - Nick (who let me share his hotel room), Kat & Josh (who picked up sandwiches), Marv, Dave & Julia (and Jeremy at dinner) - and good times were had by all. Also nice to see Chip, Mike, Matt and Ross from Boom! studios. And a friend of mine, Tania, came by to see what was up with the show, as she'd never been to one before. She ended up spending the entire afternoon wandering around by herself on the showroom floor checking out every damn booth in the hall. I was quite glad to turn someone on to the wonders that are a comics convention.

I missed seeing Stephanie Pui-mun Law (which was my fault entirely - I looked in Artist's Alley but couldn't find her) and I somehow missed connecting up with any of my Twitter followers. But overall, I can't complain. It's a well-run show in a very nice convention center in a very cool city. I'll be happy to be there again next year.
