Do you have a price range?

I'd be willing to do a couple of drawings, the link to my DA is below, it will have examples of my most recent work and there is a journal with my prices. If I'm not what your looking for I'd strongly suggest you go hit up battlewraith, he's an amazing artist worth the coin.

I would suggest going to Deviant Art and poking through the City of Heroes gallery. We've had a lot of professional and semi-pro artists play the game, from industry heavyweights like Doug Shuler to gifted artists like Celtic Bolt who do it as a side job but are in danger of going pro any minute, and of course the awesome ImagesbyAlex. Just a few of the many, many talented artists who've done CoH-related work.
Also, find TA on DA and see the stuff he's bought. He's the king of commissions.

my sister is actually a very talented artist, i talked to her some today and she would potentially be interested in taking commissions, she was setting up her deviant art page to preview some of her other work
i will update this tomorrow with her deviant art URL
Did you post a picture your sister did of one of your toons? Watercolor-ish, maybe? If that's the one I'm thinking of, she is quite talented.

I think you'd be surprised at some of the prices... and how good some of the art can be for those prices. |

My two gallery threads (see signature, bottom of index, pretty much) ... most are under $50. Heck, most are $30 or less. So if you're thinking you have to spend $100 or more... not necessarily.
Just check, if you see someone you think you like, make sure they're taking commissions and ask around to see how they are. (I tried to 'review" a few artists, especially in my second thread.) Make sure you like their style - and that it's consistent, that you're not just seeing one really cool piece and the rest are stick figures or something. (Remembering, of course, that styles and skill change.)

Well, one piece I have in mind is probably going to be a bit on the more expensive side. It would have a min of nine characters in it...|

Also, syrusbLiz, your DA link doesn't work.
