Sal Velluto Commission Series

Post by Ladakh »

I am in the early stages of putting together a Sal Velluto sketch series and at this point there's more questions than answers. One thing we know is that Sal has/had cancer and could use the financial boost and I am pretty sure you guys are ready to step up.

I am thinking Sal does 8 backing boards @$40 then I sell them for $50 with the bonus COA I have to make plus shipping. Sal's art is on par with BWS art for those of you who forgot what real art is.

At this point, I am simply looking to see if you guys have interest in this... LMK guys.

This is more like a "down the road" type of deal- to be addressed after the bookmarks are done and Bob Hall is done.

It'll help Sal. But all you guys keep this in your head for the next few weeks until we can kick it into motion.

Possibly interested, depending on what the sketches are. I would be more interested if sketches are of VH1 X-O and Rai.

I already thought about that and ya know what- if you have the balls to make a double splash of all key VH1/VH2 characters with the Solars in the middle, then you're automatically an authority on any and all Valiant and VALIANT characters.

So I say in this case we all sign up, then tell Sal what we want.

Now surely you can all do it on your own without me but if you guys have faith in me and if we keep it all under one umbrella, then we'll all benefit.

So how about this:

$50 gets you in, after that you can haggle with Sal over details and whatever else.

BUT they must all be shipped to me in one lot to make the COA.

Sal gets $40, logistics is $5 and the COA is $5.

I am telling you diehards, the bell's ringing- jump on it!

Just looking for interested folk.

VH2 Bloodshot belongs in the short box on the Titanic... or better yet copies should be sent to the moon and left there for a million years!

I'm down. I love Sal's work. My first piece of original art was one of his from V2 Bloodshot.

5 people.

Sal said he wants me to stick to his commission rates so I will. Sal also said he's not that fast as an artist- a quality that makes Sal Sal.

I am going to need at least 2 more people for this project.

As far as Sal's rates:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
SKETCH RENDERINGS ( 8 1/2" x 11" two-ply Bristol board, inserted in Polypropylene sheet protector)
Close-ups : $ 30.00 ( Pencils only ) $ 60.00 ( Fully inked )
Full body : $ 50.00 ( Pencils only ) $ 90.00 ( Fully inked )
Group shots (2 or more characters) To be negotiated
Sketches do not include backgrounds.
LARGER DRAWINGS (11" x 17" two-ply Bristol board )
Close-ups : $ 60.00 ( Pencils only ) $ 100.00 ( Fully inked )
Full body : $ 130.00 ( Pencils only ) $ 190.00 ( Fully inked )
Group shots (2 or more characters) To be negotiated
Minimal background included if necessary or upon request
------------------------------------------------------------------
I suggest we go for the 8 1/2 X 11 pieces- $30 for closeup, $50 for full body... all in pencil.

My rates are $35 or $55 plus shipping- you guys tell me what you want.

Are we starting something good?

Sal confirmed 7 pieces 8 1/2 X 11 pencils. But he has to clear his workload first so there's going to be a wait, so we'll keep this one on the back burner. I still need 2 more people to jump on in.

ADDED: Anthony K.

NEEDED: Someone to buy the "Showcase Piece"... An 8 1/2 X 11 inked by Sal or Bob Almond. You all know his site, you just have to add $5 + shipping to me to get it... it should be an inked piece and it will be the "Showcase Piece" of the series.

I am trying to provide museum-quality standards of offer and delivery of art to the interested. It is my intention to lose money doing this, as I am non-profit.

You shouldn't lose money, should be a not-for-profit, charge what it takes.

Ideally I would like someone to commission and inked closeup as the "showcase piece" for this project.

I am going to empty my mailbox- including everyone's address... I simply have too much of it.

We are all going to take a step back and wait until Sal is ready to do $35 or $55 or one $95 piece.

PRICES: These are Sal's prices. To "join our little club" and make it into a series of renderings, then you add $5.00 per piece, plus shipping.

-----------------------------
SKETCH RENDERINGS ( 8 1/2" x 11" two-ply Bristol board, inserted in Polypropylene sheet protector)
Close-ups : $ 30.00 ( Pencils only ) $ 60.00 ( Fully inked )
Full body : $ 50.00 ( Pencils only ) $ 90.00 ( Fully inked )
Group shots (2 or more characters) To be negotiated
Sketches do not include backgrounds.
-----------------------------

So it's 35/65 and 55/95 plus possibly a two-character piece for um... $195 in ink- it more or less should be Bloodshot vs Ax IMO.

Are you guys into stuff like this, or am I working too hard?

Sal won't be available for a month-plus, so I suggest we all wait a month.

The best way to do this is here on this thread. You guys tell me what you want of who you want and for what price, then when we get the 10 of you together, we'll have a commission series. I would also point out that we need a "signature piece"... my suggestion is a full ink with colors by JayJay. The piece costs $90 plus $50 for colors.

My costs are Sal's costs plus $5.00 plus $5.00 for shipping and this is a non-profit venture with which I will lose money on the deal.

I hope you guys are equally blown away by Sal's "Madonna piece" and know he is on the top of his game. FURTHERMORE... since Sal drew the VH1/VH2 double splash, he can draw any Valiant character.

Well???
