Bonus!  A Speedpaint of the little ladies!

So A wonderful Web design consulting and marketing makeover business needed a new way to market… The owner of DOTCOMCOWGIRL.COM,  Haylie McCort asked for a Jackalope for the new company mascot… I LOVE to draw animal characters! I also get to do it only on rare occasions…

So I give you: Jacqui Lope! The hip young Jackalope lass that now tells you what to do to get the most out of your social networking sites that need a good scrubbin’…

Bonus! Here’s the Speedpainting video!

BONUS!  A Speedpainting!

Not just a cartoon, not just a caricature…. It’s a HIGH quality thoughtful rendition of someone as if they were to be cast in a BIG BUDGET animated movie.

I give you, the TOONICATURE! See yourself the way you’ve never seen yourself before…. I’ve cartoonified quite a few friends already, but now I’m taking it to the people!

So, I am now open for commissions! Want a friend, loved one, or enemy forever captured in a cartoony blaze of glory? Then contact me with an idea you’d like to see! Here’s how it works:

1. Send me your favorite photos that best capture the spirit of you, or the subject in mind
2. Tell me about them. What makes them, THEM. (or you, YOU) How would you like them depicted? The only limit is your own imagination!
3. I will first send you a proof sketch to make sure everything’s to your liking ( PS You also get 2 free revisions so we can really capture the Toonicature! )
4. Then I bring it to life bridging old school coloring techniques and new school digital magic!
5. POOF!  You are now the coolest friend ever.

Examples of Toonicatures:

Pricing:

$100 – Single person toonicature with a color-themed background
(Includes ‘props’. For example, If your subject is holding a bat, or flying a kite, etc)

You can add “extras” to your Toonicature!:

• + $25 – Add background elements (like them in a car, on a horse, riding a dragon, at a desk, etc)..
• + $50 – TWO toonicatured people in one print! (great for newlyweds, twins)
• + $75 – TWO toonicatured people with all the trimmings (Add background elements)
• Special orders (Like Toonicaturing the whole Hockey team or a family portrait) will be priced upon request

* These prices include a High-Resolution Digital copy of the Artwork (great if you wish to print it yourself), Digitally signed by me, as well as a nice web-sized version so they can put it up on whatever social network they want, tagging you and saying what an awesome friend you are for giving them such a cool cartoon of themselves!

Sizes:

I usually work in  11×14, 300dpi.  The reason for this is that 11×17 or “Tabloid” paper is the largest size that can be printed on the rent-a-puters at Kinkos.  Plus a common frame size is 11×14,  so.. there you go…

You can request any size though… If you want it square, lemme know… if you have a frame in mind that’s a bit different like 7×15 (yes Ive seen those) I can do that too.

Framing + Signature:

Besides the high-res and web-sized digitally signed copy you will be able to download, I can print, frame & hand-sign copies for you! I will ship it FedEx*…

• 8×10 – $15 (includes framed print, signature and standard shipping)*
• 11×14 – $25 (includes framed print, signature and standard shipping)*
• 16×20 Deluxe- $40 (includes framed print with matte border, signature and standard shipping)*
• For custom sizes (ie – you might have a pre-purchased frame that is 20″x20″) I will only charge you for the cost of the print and roll it up nice and safe and send it to you, + $5 standard shipping. You will be notified of all costs first in case you change your mind & want the art in a standard frame…it happens.

* I will use FedEx as a standard for shipping, if you need it FAST the expedited shipping will be added to the price. Frames will be packed carefully since they are glass

How to pay me:

I will send you an email via PayPal with the total price. After I finish the artwork, I will request the payment and then send you the finished art!

Tell me about who you want Toonicatured:

Don’t worry, you will NOT be asked to pay anything now. This is just our “Break the Ice” exchange about what you are looking for. We can then bounce ideas back & forth and start figuring out how much imagination will go into your Toonicature!

An old pitchbook idea that my writing partner & I were attempting to sell,   Tim & Squidney is a show where an amorphous sea monster (Squidney)  Befriends one of the worst door-to-door salesmen in the modern age (Tim) ,  and basically talks him into a ride cross country where he could find his heard on the west coast…

What ensues is a buddy-musical-comedy show rich with entertaining stories, great music and fantastic animation!    That is if anyone on this earth would take a chance on a new idea instead of just re-hashing all the shit that’s been done…

DOH!

But it’s one of our most beloved concepts & it will always be tossed out there,  since EVERYONE  we pitched it to loved it, but was just too scared to risk a new idea not gaining cred…

*note – the TIM  Character went through a change in the midst of pitching… the older Tim is below in the gallery…
