Rich McGee Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 I don't see this being talked about on another thread here, and I know some of you have paid to have Champions character art done by Storn in the past (a whole lot of artwork, in at least one case), but if you haven't seen it he's been calling for work over on RPGnet for a couple of weeks now and the latest post makes it sounds like he could really use it. So go check the link and if you can spare some the funds to give him some business this would be a good time to do so. Doubly so if you're a publisher or know one who might be interested, since a few commissioned pieces will help but a bunch of art for a commercial project would help more. Frankly, I'm kind of surprised he's having any trouble filling his schedule going by what I've seen of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 Someone mentioned that a guy had got 150 commissions from him. Pity he ain't got the cash to get some more. Rich McGee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Teriaca Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 If it wasn't for the fact I no longer have a job, and I have no income, I would probally ask for some myself. Duke Bushido and Rich McGee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opale Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 Do you know if Storn is usually reactive ? Noticing this post, my hubby contacted him for some commission two days ago, but without even a notice his message was read. Rich McGee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say from experience (although Death Tribble probably can), but it looks like he hasn't been on RPG.net since Thursday (same day as your spouse contacted him) so he may just not have seen it if he hasn't been online. I sent him a PM over there giving him a heads up to check his inbox or the thread here. Hope you manage to connect okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opale Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 Thanks. Contact was from hubby not I ^^ But I know he wants to "surprise" me with a commission for my fav character 😛 Rich McGee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich McGee Posted July 27 Author Report Share Posted July 27 I can think of much worse surprise gifts. My sister got a gas can and jumper cables for Christmas one year from the guy she'd been dating for five years. He didn't make it to six.

I have not seen any prospective commissions in about a week and half. Please tell him I'm sorry, I might have missed it, and I have been cleaning out my spam and it might have gotten caught in there.

What sort of prices are we talking about? @Christopher R Taylor is producing a Champions Next book for beginning GMs/players. I might be in a place to sponsor a bit of art for that project.

I think @ChistopherRTaylor thing is Champions Classics. Not that I'm not honored at the mistaken phrase. This is the link to the project.

Storn Posted August 5 Report Share Posted August 5 Here is a recent commission. Prices are complicated. Private commissons are easy, but working for publishers, that runs the gamut. Depending on how difficult and time consuming the art is, to what kind of rights that publisher wants...the most expensive being work for hire (publisher owns all rights). If you have a question about my prices, drop me a line at storn.cook@gmail.com Hermit, Matt the Bruins, Stanley Teriaca and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storn Posted Thursday at 09:38 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:38 AM Recent private commission. My life has drastically changed of late. Due to my wife's health issues, she had to step back from working. As a professor, nurse etc, her earning potential has always been WAY better than mine. I need a regular paycheck and so, I've become a Fed, well, a postal worker. A rural carrier. I will still do artwork from time to time, just not at the rate I used to. The AI explosion has killed my private commissions. I used to get 10 or so a month. Now, I'm lucky to get 1. Since I don't need to have my artwork pay the mortgage anymore, I'm oddly going to raise my prices. I can afford to be choosy and now spend more time on projects in between delivering mail. Thanks for reading this long screed. Have a great day and keep on keepin' on. Rich McGee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich McGee Posted Thursday at 10:30 AM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:30 AM (edited) Sorry to hear it. I wish you and your wife luck. As someone who used to paint miniatures for a living (a field that's benefited from AI rather than suffered from it so far, although that won't last) private commissions were never worth doing, where doing forces for spec sales on ebay and gaming forums was quite productive as long you knew what you were doing. Very different market than 2D illustration work, of course.. Edited Thursday at 10:34 AM by Rich McGee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted Thursday at 01:04 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 01:04 PM @Storn, sorry to hear about your wife and pray she gets better. FWIW my wife is a Midwife so I know all about who makes the most money in my house lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
