I'm arting at a couple cons this summer and one of the things I want to do is have commission badges. But that doesn't work very well with just a sign. I need to make example badges. I don't like the idea of putting out actual commissions as examples where they'll be flipped through and handled and I like the idea of doing badges simply to have samples even less, because I may not use them next year and that's just a waste.
So here's the deal for the first few people that speak up. Tell me what you'd like on a badge, give reference pics if possible. I'll draw it up, color it, laminate it, the whole deal. Then I'll give it to you for free. The catch is two fold. One: This will be a display badge for both persacon and imagicon. It won't have a clip, only a standard hole punch hole for the ring I'll be keeping them on. And it will be handled by people, so it may get a tiny bit of wear. Not much, the laminate's pretty sturdy, but it won't be completely brand new. Two: I keep it until after all the cons I'm arting at are done. If I see you at D*con, you'll get it then. If not, I'll mail it to you sometime in September, possibly after AWA, depending on what the application comes back as. And if you get asked about it and feel like sending some business my way, I won't complain.
Basically, this is a way for me to get what I need without wasting the work I'll put in and give freebies to friends at the same time.
So... I can only do so many. I figure ten or so would be enough for a decent sample selection. So it's first come first serve unless your request is too interesting to pass up.
Samples for sample making:
