I had a few people ask about what sorts of things they could ask for as commissions, and I figured that rather than try to explain “the sky is the limit, no seriously, I have drawn Protoss fighting dragons and time-traveling Abe Lincolns”, I would simply show you. These are a few of my favorite commissions from the Christmas sale!
The first two were a lot of fun, because I don’t often get to draw custom Weregeek forms for people. The baby geek was something I’d never drawn before, and a chance for me to really crank up the cuteness factor. The second geek is actually a custom card for the game “Falling“, and wasn’t the only one that the person commissioned. Drawing Weregeeks falling from the sky was hilarious fun!
The second two were challenging, and I always relish a challenge. I mean – a werewolf knight fighting a dragon? AWESOME! And inking tiger stripes, while time consuming, is actually pretty fun.
The third was probably one of my favorite commissions of all time. It’s all of the characters from a Dresden Files RP group, and a few of the players (and possibly the GM) were there in the chat to watch me draw it. I’m a big Dresden Files fan, and drawing the characters made me wish I could join in with their gaming group!
So – there you have it. Whether you buy a commission online or in person at a convention, feel free to come up with something really wacky, ’cause I’m always up for a challenge!
Cyrian Says:
I Don’t know the Dresden Files but the guy in the middle of the last panel kinda looks like James Rolfe. Awesome!
Heartsong Says:
Been reading Weregeek for a while and it always makes me laugh, so thank you for that!
I’m dying to get some character portraits (our characters) done for a gift for the hubby, but I have to wait til after I get paid (sometime between Feb 1st and 5th) to do it. ; ;
Joseph Says:
Ooh, Dresden Files RPG? I’ve been running a campaign for that for the last five months, and I’ve got six PCs as well. Been lots of fun!
So, there’s four girls and two guys; I’m debating what each of their high concepts are, but it’s impossible to actually figure that out. Lots of fun trying, though!
hmm… I wonder how the Weregeeks would react to a Dresden campaign… the more I think about it, the more awesome I think it’d be. Please? Maybe further down the line?
Thomas Says:
The Dresden picture makes me wonder which one is the Wizard.
Wolfess Says:
The moment I saw the Dresden Files group I whooped.
Then proceeded to figure each character out. I know the last one is a Warden

rb Says:
you could allways join in on a group through skype or team viewer…
Alondro Says:
Oh! I didn’t even know you did commissions (because I work too much to know anything anymore!
). I shall have to come up with a worthy idea soon!
Jonas Osum Says:
how about a detailed color one, of a disenfranchiesed millionare turned soldier, who became a bounty hunter after a mid-battle betrayal?
Ceallo Says:
I have an idea for a commission, but I would like to know if you are able to draw it before I order it. Where should I send/post the description?
Lasselanta Says:
I tried to order a commission today, but the site doesn’t seem to be working. Are all the commissions sold out already?
Jairephix Says:
Oh, man! I really wish I could afford to commission you! I’d love to see what my LARP character would look like!
Alina Says:
Ceallo – The answer is almost certainly ‘yes’, but you can send me the description via the contact page if you’d like.
Lasselanta – Were you unable to access the store page, or just unable to check out with your order? I am, unfortunately, unable to take credit card orders right now, so if you’d tried to use that as a payment option, the order wouldn’t have worked. I’m trying to get that straightened out as quickly as I can!
Heartson, Jairephix – I do commissions regularly, so even if you miss this sale, you can still commissions from me. Just send me an email!
tebunga Says:
hey look, its me bottom pannel 3rd person in on the left lol
Crazeyal Says:
I sent a request and never got a reply.
Russiameg Says:
I actually commissioned the Dresden piece, it’s awesome to see our group here again!
Since people were curious – we run our campaign over Skype, since the group’s scattered across North America.
From left to right they are an apprentice shaman, a vampire, a hapless librarian, a wizard apprentice who swears he’s not a warlock (but isn’t that exactly what a warlock would say?), a dragon’s mortal servant, and – yes – a warden!
Matt Says:
Could you please record Saturday’s commission webcast?
