HeroesCon 2019 Advance Sketch List & CCC

I love HeroesCon! It is my favorite show by far. Not only do I get to see everyone, I also get to hang out with my buddy, Joe Pekar.  It's time to open up the Advance Commission List. I will actually work on this list leading up to the convention. Especially the more complicated pieces.

At the same time I will be taking on a very limited number of Conventionless Convention Commissions (CCC) for those that can not attend HeroesCon.

Email me if you have any questions. Please use the subject line "HeroesCon Commission List" or "Conventionless Convention Commission". I have a smart mailbox that separates emails with those subject lines in order for me to stay organized. Thanks!

HEROESCON CONVENTION PRICES:

In addition to the samples and prices shown above these will also be available:

• 9" x 12" Inked head shot: $50.00

• 11" x 17" Inked  2 characters $160.00

If you have a request outside the scope of my list here, just email me and we can discuss it.

PayPal accepted in advance. Cash or credit card will be accepted at the convention. You can also pay using the PayPal app on your mobile device. This usually works best at HeroesCon because there is hardly a signal for processing credit cards. Send your money from upstairs and we can be good to go. Get the PayPal app if you don't have it already. For art commissioned at the show, payment is due at the time of request.

Please do not send payment until you have contacted me and we agree on the subject matter.

CONVENTIONLESS CONVENTION COMMISSIONS

For those not going to the show but would still like to get a commission(s) at this time the prices are the same as above, just add $15.00 to your total for shipping in the US. One shipping costs no matter how many pieces being shipped. U.S. shipping only. If you are outside the U.S. contact me for shipping costs.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

If I have forgotten anything please let me know.

Cheers!

Zatanna

Another holiday themed commission from Christmas Past. Zatanna the magician creating gifts in her own special way! This was done in ink on bristol board.

Cheers!

Gene

Have a Super-Christmas!

This was done as an inked commission and a few years later I added some color to it for fun. I stayed with the flat color style of the silver age of comics which fit the characters and their time period. There are a lot of Easter Eggs in this image. Things that relate to old stories and characters. A very fun piece to do!

Merry Christmas!

Gene

Frosty and friend

It’s so close to Christmas I thought I would share a couple of holiday themed images. This one was done for a wallpaper reward for my patrons on Patreon a couple of years ago. All digital.

Cheers!

Gene

The Thing

I don’t get asked to draw The Thing as a commission very often. As a matter of fact, I think only three times so far. But I always enjoy it! This commission was done in ink on bristol board.

Cheers!

Gene

Winter

A watercolor sketch I did based on a digital color sketch I did. Since the introduction of the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil, so much of my work starts out digital even if the final art will be in a traditional medium. That device has been a real game changer for me.

Cheers!

Gene

Tellus - Legion of Super-Heroes

This is a watercolor commission of the Legionnaire, Tellus. I have been a fan of the Legion of Super-Heroes since I first discovered them in a back up story in a Superboy comic in the early 1970s. There are a lot of us Legion fans out there and I am lucky to have so many of them ask me to draw their favorites.

Cheers!

Gene

Tangled!

This was an inked commission I did some time back that I added some digital color too. The commission request was for a Scottish girl and a couple of Scottish Terriers. This is where I went with it. And it went over well.

Ink on bristol board with digital colors in Photoshop.

Cheers!

Catspaw (Legion of Super-Heroes)

Catspaw was created for one of the Legion of Super-Heroes (LSH) reboots. Of which there were so many I really don’t know which one it was. And I consider myself a LSH fan! A fun design that I think was done by series artist at the time, Chris Sprouse.

This piece was done on my iPad Pro using an Apple Pencil in the Procreate app. I have been so impressed by what I could do in Procreate on an iPad since Apple introduced the first iPad Pro. Now if Apple would only make one at least 16 inches then I could replace my Cintiq.

Cheers!

Gene

Evil-Lyn (Masters of the Universe

I have left this blog dormant for too long and will change that now. Almost all of my content is created on my Patreon page, with some of it shared from time to time on my Instagram. But I thought I really should make an effort here.

So I will be adding updating this blog twice a week. I will try to make it Tuesdays and Thursdays but there might be a little hiccup now and then. If you want to see more up to date images and process posts, those will continue to be on my Patreon page at patreon.com/genegonzales.

Above is an commission piece I did for someone at HeroesCon early this last summer. I am not very familiar with the Masters of the Universe characters. I have seen most of them but I don’t think I was ever asked to draw any before this. I’m very happy with how the piece turned out. I might add some digital color to it at some point. The original was done in ink on 11” x 17” bristol board.

Cheers!

Gene

The Reverse Flash

This started out as a rough for a commission I would finish in watercolor and ink. But I just kept doodling until I had a finished piece, more or less. It was a fun process that was recorded using the recording feature in the Procreate app. This was shared with my patrons on my Patreon page a few months ago.

You can watch the Reverse Flash process video on my YouTube channel.

MegaCon Sketch List and Conventionless Convention Commission List is Open!

It's that time of the year!

MegaCon in Orlando, Florida is coming up fast. The dates are May 26-29. I will be sitting next to my friend and travel mate, the one and only Joe Pekar. It's too early to announce where we will be located but as soon as I find out I will post it here.

MegaCon has changed ownership and this year will be a 4 day show. I'm looking forward to it!

PERILS ON PLANET X for sale at IndyPlanet!

Shameless plug this morning but it's also a great example of why I am on Patreon now. Creating Perils on Planet X took over a dozen years. And the simple reason is both of us, writer Chris Mills and I have other responsibilities in order to pay the bills. But we never let POPX die. And now it is done and ready to read! In Chris' words:

All three issues of PERILS ON PLANET X by Yours Truly and Gene Gonzales, with colors by Ian Sokoliwski, are available to purchase NOW!

They are only available by mail order from IndyPlanet. This is is the best way to support us and the book, as the profits go directly to Gene and myself. Each issue is 32 full-color pages, printed on high-quality, heavy paper stock. (You can also purchase digital downloads, if you prefer.)

Sales of these issues will help Gene and I determine whether there's enough demand for Volume 2: "Agent of Empyr," so if you'd like to see further PERILS ON PLANET X adventures, be sure to order your copies soon.

Please share!

You can order either print or digital downloads. Or both if you so desire.

http://www.indyplanet.us/atomicpulp/

I hope you will join us on Planet X!

Thanks!

PERILS ON PLANET X - IN PRINT (very, very soon)

PERILS ON PLANET X © CHRISTOPHER MILLS AND GENE GONZALES

Anyone who has followed me on this blog knows about PERILS ON PLANET X. If you don't, POPX is a series by writer Christopher Mills and myself. It is a swashbuckling sci-fi adventure done in the grand tradition of Flash Gordon and John Carter. It will be available through print on demand very very soon. And to celebrate, I have created a desktop wallpaper of the first issues wraparound cover. You can download it for free at my Patreon page: www.Patreon.com/GeneGonzales

Gene Gonzales is Creating Art and Comics on Patreon!

On January 30th I launched a Patreon page. If you are not familiar with Patreon, it is a subscription based way for people to support the endeavors of other people. Basically it is a way to become a "Patron of the Arts". And my art in particular. :)

I created the video seen above to explain why I am now on Patreon and what I hope to accomplish. If you have enjoyed what I do on this blog and you enjoy my art,  I ask that you check out what I am doing on Patreon. And if you are interested in supporting me there, you will see a number of reward tiers from which to choose. From basic info to art commissions, I tried to make them appealing.

If you are not interested in supporting me on Patreon, no worries. Really. My work will still be showcased here about as frequently as I have been doing lately. And every so often I might give you a peek at what the Patrons are seeing on Patreon as a way to try to entice you again. :)

The link is above, if you have a moment take a look. And if you have any questions about it just shoot me an email or ask in the comments below.

Thank you for all your kind words and support through the years!
