Warning: There are quite a few pictures in this thread.
As some of you are already aware, a friend of mine, and a former FA member, Zack "Turret" Finfrock, runs his own webcomic and has been signed as the artist for the soon-to-be-released Ctrl+Alt+Del comic that you can find on store shelves.
Zack is a freelance artist, meaning that he makes his money off of commission for art, and it's what pays his bills while he's in college. I'm not trying to "advertise" per se, but being the nice friend that I am, I'd like to post some of his work here for you all to enjoy, as well as give you his contact information if you'd like to have anything done for yourself, especially since he's in a bit of a bind at the moment.
Below you'll find some MxO pictures, Zack's rendition of characters based on himself/friends for the upcoming Firefly MMO, and some others that I selected.
I'll also link his webcomic, Deviant Art portfolio, and the 6-page CAD comic preview.
Turret from MxO:

Tbone, lucky you, I paid for this. Happy Birthday or something. Tbone from MxO (wearing the Whites):

Jeyk from MxO (wearing the Whites):

Even though the Firefly MMO hasn't even gone into production yet, that hasn't stopped Zack from doodling pictures of characters for it:

The CAD comic cover from concept by Tim Buckley to completion by Zack:

Well, I hope these inspire some of you to get together with Zack and have him spit out your ideas on paper. He can ink/color the pictures, the whole shebang, but I have no idea how much he charges for all that. You've got to get together with him on pricing. I paid $25 for the sketches of me and T (collectively, not individually).

Heh, he drew Jeyk in the sig and avatar too. Well. That's it! Enjoy :D!
-
that's pretty wicked :)
-
Yay, free artistry of me! Thanks Jeyk!
-
I said it once, I'll say it again... wow
-
Wow Nice Stuff :D
Oh... and how much for a Broin sketch? :|> :|>
-
I still visit PixPup weekly. And was trilled when I found out that he was doing the inking for the CAD comic. (Almost got in trouble for asking him about it on his Devinent Art account.)
-
hell yeah what about a pirus sketch too.... I can see this becoming pretty big lol give us a price list :)
-
Holy Shizzit! Do me! Do me! LAWL SWAHEET!
-
I have a task for him....
SUBBEH IN A THONG! muhahahaha ::roll eyes::
Me want price list :D
-
That's it. I'm paying for a sketch of myself. :)
-
Yeah, seriously, give us a price list, that would be sweeeet
-
For pricing (I don't have a price list, I'll ask him though), etc., call him or email him and tell him Jeyk (David) sent you and that you're from FA - his name's Zack. You can email him as well, but the phone's easier because you can describe what you want versus typing out everything.

Hmmm, the only thing is that I would have to pay in $'s? We should all get one :D
-
hmmm ok I thought about a series of pictures maybe 5 or 6 in total which will go with the other picture kind of like a flip book so when the pictures are flipped fast enough it apears to show movement. If given 6 pictures I could making a moving picture GIF avatar :) For ex. take tbones pic and make him walk and have the knife being thrown up and caught. That would be nice.
-
nice artwork; jeyk, we share a name, splendid.
-
I'll try to have him give me a price list tonight!
-
I want one too! That's awesome! :D
-
Zack got back to me tonight with the price list stuff in an email. It's detailed, so he requested that I just copy/paste it. He also wanted me to list is AIM name here so you can chat with him at any point about pictures/payment/etc.
AIM: splashing Ink
Here's the email:
"Hey FA, Zack aka "Turret" here. Long time no see! How's everyone been? Glad to see you guys still kickin' it! Jeyk told me that he posted the pic's I did for him along with a few others to help me out in my financial hole. He also told me that there have been a few requests for a price list of sorts for this kinda thing. So, first off with the little details. Now I know some of these facts/rules go against things like Sony's copyright on MxO; these are just some basics I work by...
General Info:
- Commissions are done at around 300-600 DPI and you will be given a full resolution JPG.
- I retain full copyright of the artwork, the owner of the character will obviously retain the character’s trademarks.
- You can use your commissioned piece for anything that is Non-profit.
- If your commission is intended for commercial use please ask me and we can come to an agreement!
- During the process of the commission I will send you the sketch and at least one inked/colored WIP for you to check.
Prices:
- All commissions are in USD
- Preferred method of payment is Paypal, please send to splashed_ink@yahoo.com
- I do accept money orders. Please ask for more info.
- We'll go by paying half up front, half right before I send the finished work. This is to prevent me from getting ripped off! Sorry if it’s an inconvenience!
- If there are any problems with the finished work, I guarantee to work with you to make it the way you want it. You are paying for it, after all.
- The prices below are estimates. The price of your commission can change depending on complexity.
- Please DO NOT send me payment before I have quoted a price for your commission.
Sketch: $15 for one character.
-Now it doesn't matter what the picture is (head shot, bust, full-body) It's just $15. If you want additional stuff, like backgrounds or more characters, price will be talked about depending on what's goin' down.
-Blur/Photoshop effects at no extra cost.
Inked: $25 for one character.
-Again, price may go up depending on additional things.
Fully colored: $45 for one character.
-Again, price may go up depending on additional things.
Things to do for a commission:
- Please send me commissions by e-mail (My email is splashed_ink@yahoo.com)
- I prefer all commissions to be talked about on AIM (splashing ink) before I begin the project. It's the best way to guarantee the best work.
- Please send me a brief description of the character(s) appearance AND personality (Please don't make it too long, it's easier for me to miss something if I have to read like 5000 words :P)
- Reference pictures are really great to send too if you have any! Especially if there's a special outfit/pose.
If you have questions regarding ANY of this, feel no hesitation to email or even call (since Jeyk put my number on the forum :D) Sorry if this was long, but to those who read the whole thing, thanks!"

For anyone who is interested, Zack will be at Megacon http://www.megaconvention.com signing Analog and D+Pad comics this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in Orlando with Tim Buckley (Ctrl+Alt+Del) and Brian Clevinger (8-bit Theater).
I, as well as Joaquin (former FA), will be heading out there on Saturday, so if you're in the area, or you already by some coincidence are attending, or you're simply out in Orlando for some other random reason, let me know and we'll meet up.
