Tara looks really cool actually. I think the best work is in her eyes... there's that sense of sly knowing that Tara occasionally has in her eyes. Been thinking about these for a while now... maybe, just maybe. EDIT: So I contacted Georges via the e-mail address provided, but just in case he doesn't respond, I was wondering if you could walk me through the ordering process. Do I send money via PayPal first, and then e-mail him my choice of a headshot? Or how else does it work? Thanks. EDIT part deux: He got back to me, so all's good.

Good that it worked out. That man is a fast e-mailer.
I think I got a new wish-list now; Spike, Satsu, Dawn, Angel and ... Giles? Wesley? God dammit, I can't decide. Good thing that there will be more sketchbooks. For the next volym I think I'm getting Fray or Renee.
EDIT- Newer list;
Satsu, Spike, Dawn, The Chain-Buffy(with her dark hairdo) and Giles.

I want one! Those sketches are amazing and I love how they're personalized. I'm gonna have to work more and save in order to buy this. It looks awesome.

He mentioned that there are only 1000 prints per book. So work hard and fast, Em... and that was meant in the cleanest way possible.

Well, he did do Tara for me, so maybe he'd to the Master, even tough he hasn't drawn them for the comic(maybe The Master was in one of the dream-squares in TLWH). E-mail and ask.

I asked for either a happy Buffy or Anya. And gave him the third option of simply surprising me. So maybe... you could ask... he seems to be a generally nice guy, so drawing ol' Batface may not be that big a request.

Oh yes, you got the Xander. And I saw those books on ebay, and they look delicious. People must not be that aware of the books existans, otherwise they would have sold immediatly.

I thought I'd share my headshot. I asked for either a pensively happy Buffy (i.e. at the end of "Chosen") or Anya, and got the Buffy. Totally happy with it, and the book's pretty cool, barring the few typographical errors, including the spelling of "Xander" as "Zander". So here's my head shot: The sketch lines didn't appear in the scan, but they're there, and it makes the sketch so much cooler. And to those who've been curious to see what Jeanty's Drusilla would look like, she appears on the back cover, and I find his rendition of her fragile beauty very apt; the child-like charm is palpable!

I can't see the pics. Hopefully I only have to re-start the computer.
And hrm, not sure if it's according to the rules to scan the back of the book...

I don't think it's a problem with your computer... I can't see it either. But if you right-click, and click "open", it should work. If it doesn't, I'll shrink the pics, and repost them. As for the back cover... I did it because it had Georges info on it. But if it's a problem, I'll happily remove it... I just thought that Dru looked really cool.

Not sure if it's a darkhorse book, and if that means that that's one of the comic pictures we're not allowed to use.
I still can't see the picture tough. I tried right clicking, but nope.

Here's what I figured. The fact that we're scanning our headshots would be infringement too, since it is an original, and no one has the same one. So I thought the back cover would be fair game too, since no one's protested the usage of the front cover. Plus, I figured, free promo for Jeanty; don't think he'd complain at all. I'll shrink the pics and repost them. EDIT: The original post has now been updated with thumbnails.

Will definitely be a returning customer. I just love the subtlety in Buffy's face... is she happy, is she sad, what's she thinking? All good! And yeah, I think the make-up department tried out different cut sites on SMG's face, and deemed that above brow gash to be the most photogenic, and so they constantly place cuts there.

Hmmm... Maybe the sketch is illegal. I never thougt of that, because hey, we paid for it to be original.
Eh, whatever. There are still unallowed comic pica being used by the users here and no one has been sued so far.
Your Buffy looks so sad. I just want to hug her. Pretty pretty.

There's sadness, but just a hint of happiness in her mouth.

My new ones. : I wish I had asked for a sexy/leering/mischievous/one-eye-brown raised Spike, but other than that, I'm happy. The Faith one is amazing. BTW, how are thumbnails done?
