Cheers dude, Learned a lot since those older ones!, seems a long time ago now!
bledd. - Hehe, ay - should be easy enough to frame being A3 hopefully! - added a few to the charity page like you suggested, may take a while for the 2nd one (as I may have just ran out of paper from the looks of it, need to order some more!).
Think it's about 55 hours of work & £150 in material/delivery costs to me so far
- all for a good cause tho!

Soz didn't notice this!
Sadly I'm hard up for time at the moment, got suck a backlog I don't think I'll be able to do it in the kind of time-scale you need.
- on average they take between 4.5 & 5 hours (ish) so need entire evenings to do each one (sometimes two pending on if I've got stuff to do).A quick update.
Still finishing off a couple of offline requests.
Have these three still available for donations if anybody is interested (A3).
Suggested donation is around £40, all of these three are based off my own reference photography from the Zoo! (so they are unique).
Need to get some more materials sorted, as thinking about trying to hit the £1000 mark, still got notes of a few of the older requests & I'll send out a few emails once I've got everything sorted for doing more - but these I had done a bit ago.
- but really they are quite basic I think (not many colours), simple & not the hardest to do.

- but really they are quite basic I think (not many colours), simple & not the hardest to do.So,
I've got one week left of the art-for-shelter page before it automatically closes & a few pieces which I did (for either practice, or people didn't get back to me after asking for it - those are people offline).
I thought I'd pop them on here so people can say which ones they want (if any at all!) - before I go-to the effort of going to an art-faire to sell them (then do a manual donation) - which I'd rather avoid (the thought of spending the day with a bunch of hippies doesn't sit well with me).
I've already had a couple of requests in for these (but still waiting to hear back from them) so don't donate until I let you know if it's still available (or not),
Anyway - suggested donation for A3 is around £40/50, A4 - £20
Walter White (A3)
AT-AT Walker (A3)
Tiger (A3)
Giraffe (A3)
Squirrel (A3)
Sin City (A3)
Warhammer 40k (A3)
Dexter (A3)
The Avengers (A3)
Boba Fett (A4)

Apologies, had a massive bum rush of messages over the space of a few weeks (poor organisational skills on my behalf!) - some of which after I had ran out of supplies (still out of them atm).
Hehe, ay - I expect the Walter one to be the most popular - they are in chronological order (newest to oldest, so you can see the progression over the last three months lol)
I'll have to take a look when I get back (drop-box blocked at work!) - but for new pieces I'll need to get materials in (so may be a few weeks from now) - but I'll certainly have a look.
Glad he likes it mateIll engage you next time again elmarko, you need a rest and perparation to deal with my 'demands'
Ill make sure to update the thread with a pic once its up if I remember
EDIT: I didnt know you dabbled in colour - howd you find it? Always thought it was the easiest way to ruin a picture myself by a badly misjudged tone, thats Dexters good though

.Yeah, a bit of time to re-organise & get my stuff together (with work, gym & guitar practice it's hard to get the time now-day's but done a couple to improve my technique recently).
I've done a few in colour, but still not 100% on it yet - as the main problem is the amount of pens I need to do it (As I need at least 4 shades of each colour & the pens are pretty pricey to buy them for just one picture!).
The dexter one I could have done with a few extra colours (As it looks a little surrealist when it wasn't meant to due to having to substitute colours).
Cheers dude.Mark this stuff is great. I can't believe how quickly you can whip 'em up! You're going to be getting requests for a long time from GDers
Hmm, that specific image is too low quality - also a little busy to work with the style (the faces would be so small you wouldn't be able to make out the details!)
Alright mate, I've replied to your message (cheers for the donation to the just-giving page) - I'll post it over the weekend to you (should be with you early next week).Hi again mate. Just put through my donation. It showing as anonymous (I think i may have rush clicked a few pages) but you should be able to check via your receipts in your email when you get a chance.
Hope thats ok. Look forward to seeing the picture
Cheers mate
Now at £700 raised in total (including gift-aid)
£570 without.
Sure I can have a look, drop us it over & I'll see what I can do (some styles work well, others not so much).
Found a way of extending the existing just-giving, just ordered some more poster tubes & grabbing another pack of bleed proof marker pads on the way home tonight.
So should *in theory* - be able to take on a few more requests (along with posting out some of the existing pictures I've got available a few posts up) - with the only one officially gone the Giraffe (with a few potentials on a few others).

Hehe, well - the first one includes drawing all the black areas out first in pencil (which took lots of rubbing out & a couple of hours), for the shading I do it straight onto the paper (can't be bothered pre-sketching all that.
Also the lighter tones leave the pencil showing through, so try to avoid it when possible
.Cheers for the feedback though, this one is still available (Wasn't part of a request, just technique practice)
I can do upto A3 atm (biggest bleed proof marker paper i can get from hobbycraft) l.
But yeah, pending on thrle reference shot i should be able to (really its bette if i can pickmyself - as only certain pics work with the monochromatic style.
Regarding the stages, ive got a couple WIP shots of the last one - ill upload them when i get home.
