Aw - I'm broke. :(

Geeze, even when I wasn't broke that would have been to much for me.

You do realize this is an award-winning artist doing a specific, unique, hand-crafted commission? The price is an absolute steal, my friend.

You may not place the same value as others will, but I can assure you it's worth it.

Sorry, this is me that posted that.

I know, I know...and believe me if I had the money I would buy...but since I don;t...

and that is what makes it so galling. An opportunity like this is hardly likely to come again !!

I try to take commissions whenever I've got a bit of free time. I'll try to do them more often, keep an eye out here for updates.

That's damn decent of you... thanks!

No problem. :)

This is a fabulous idea. Wish I had the money for it. I don't. Not right now.

Do you do this at random times during the year? Like for anniversaries?

Sure do. Turnaround depends on my workload, but I'll always try to find a way to fit special commissions in.

Damn!! That would be amazing! Too bad I'm getting fired and can't afford. :(

That's so cool, amigo! Sadly, I have no money--but it's still very very cool.

I'm sure I can work you into one of your suzerain books. ;)

Sweet!

Damn...I was hoping I'd be the only person to say how cool this would be, but that I'm too poor. I've only been the sole bread-winner for a few months (though that's all ending Monday). Between this and alg's offer, I need to rob a bank or something. Maybe I can overcome my needle phobia and sell a few quarts of blood.

Amazing idea. I'm posting this to my friends.

Thanks!

What a great idea!

If I can afford the price, I'd totally get one of those for my dad. He's an old-school comics fan who introduced me to pulps, comics, heroic fantasy and rock-n-roll. He also had open-heart surgury this past year, and this would totally cheer him up. I'll see what I can arrange.

PS: Love the image. Is she topless, or simply wearing skin-tinged Spandex?

Thanks. I'm doing one for my dad too.

Spandex. :)

So I figured. Given Neener's taste in unclad villains, though, I wasn't certain. :)

I should do one of her City of Heroes characters. Hopefully she's not reading this thread...

She does have some pretty hot COV characters, that's for damned sure!

Dude, if you are playing on CoH/V, you have to join us on Champion server and get into the Paragon City Storm Wardens!!!

Sorry, this is Sean!

Hey, Sean.

Thanks. I actually haven't played it, with a brief (16-hour) exception while I was staying with Ace and Neener in March. Talk about a time sink! I'm afraid to buy the game and lose too much valuable life-and-work time to playing it. Besides, my computer can't handle the game, anyway!

I've been chatting with Ace about getting that new edition of FRPB out soon. I've been teaching classes in the Game Design program at the Art Institute of Seattle, and will be interviewing for a regular teaching gig there next week. If I get it, your book will become an assigned textbook - assuming my students can actually obtain copies of it, that is! Will keep you posted about this. As soon as I know, you will, too.

Satyr was in the zone. I was afraid he'd slip into the superflow and be lost forever, but he managed to pull out in the end. It was an impressive run though. ;)

Heh - thanks. I'll bet you two were just glad when the "blurts" and "booms" and curses next door finally stopped around 3:00 AM! :)

Neen saved your character, so any time you want to get another fix... Mwahahahaaha.

Thanks. Will do so one of these days. Just haven't gotten 'round to it so far.

ARGH! Damn my college-bound teenage daughter! Doesn't she know I could be spending money on COOL STUFF?

I'll trade you! Write a short story for Talisman and I'll do your portrait. I'd love to collaborate with you.

Wonder how much I can get for a kidney...

Well, I know this guy... ahem. Nevermind.

Ah, if I had 2 bills to spare.

i came in here when i saw 34 comments. I wanted to see how many of them were "damn if i wish i weren't broke" comments.

good luck

No worries. Got a couple orders today, and that's pretty cool. I wasn't expecting my email to light up, but a few of these will be a great help during the holidays.

rad

Amen!
I knew there was going to be a horde. 8)

The good stuff is never cheap.

yet this is both good and cheap

True enough, true enough. 8)

Aaron, brilliant idea!!!!

Hope you are cross-posting this everywhere on the planet. Comic Monsters forums and eBay come to mind.

Great idea, thanks. I hadn't thought of using ebay.
