I think the red coat one is our first choice, and yeah definitely landscape!

She's a stunner, eh? :D

Yup, she a great little one :), I'll see what I can do when I finish work today to sort out the reference, if your happy with it I'll start work on it over the week (once the rabbit mask is done) & should be able to pop it in the post by the weekend (assuming all goes well!).
 
So got two on the go currently.

And...

Still loads more to do on both (all the tones other than the black for the top one (but the blackw as most the hard work on that) & still 70% to do on the second :).
 
I'll try to get a better picture tomorrow (artificial light makes everything look horrible) - let me know if you are happy with it, if not I can do one for the other reference instead.

Rabbits almost done :p, but ran out of one of my greys so will be grabbing one after work tomorrow to finish that one next

Right I'll take the Louis Armstrong if you can do it in A3? How much would you consider a fair contribution?

Do you have a specific reference picture you want?, as some work better/worse pending on the lighting? - yeah I've still got a load of A3 paper (It's A4 I'm out of now!).

To give time taken, usually A3 ones take between 3 and 4 hours, material costs (paper/ink/poster-tubes) & postage/packaging/recorded delivery is about £8-ish which I'm covering for each one (my part of the donation) - if I just did overtime at work for those hours I'd charge them about £120 - but I don't expect anything near that much lol.

So I'll let you decide as I'm not selling, it's a gift in return for a donation technically - but the above should give you something to work with. :), for a definitive request I'll show you a WIP one mid-way to confirm you want it (as will take a while & better to scrap it early).
 
elmarko, that is absolutely amazing mate :) We're both so impressed by it! Drop me an email to Trust and we'll sort out payment :)

Payment (well, not really payment) is via a donation here to Shelter the homelessness charity :) - http://www.justgiving.com/Mark-Fenton5

I'm not taking any money for me for my work at the mo, the post above has a breakdown on the costs (which I cover) - so from that you can decide on what to donate.

I'll send you a trust message too, so I can get your address for postage this weekend :).

Hi mate, I would love one of Columbo for the wife.

Trust me a message and I'll get some stills, she has the lot on DVD

It's her birthday in July, so no rush on it. Thanks :)

The first two look good, (high quality) the first I think has slightly better lighting for my style - but if no rush you can drop us a few stills which you think your good lady would like I'll have a play in photo-shop (play with the brightness contrast).

Also, if you want it A3 or A4 - landscape or portrait (I'll have a look at different paper sizes too).

The picture you linked earlier will do me fine. I'll make the donation tonight from home.

If you wanted a different one it's no problem, as I've got more shades than I did previously I can do a greater range of tones :).

But I'm happy to do the same one if you want - A3 Portrait?.
 
Marko have you finished the rabbit? if you are all done I'll donate the cash, how do you want the address?

Could I get it for the 10th April (wife's birthday) thanks
 
Yup the rabbit is finished, I'll take a better picture tonight when I get back from work - send us a message in trust for your address & I'll get it posted this weekend with the rest I'll be sending.

Post 107 has the final work, but not a good picture which I'll be retaking tonight.

The donation is to the just-giving website on the first post :).
 
Cheers for the donation maccapacca :) - much appreciated & a nice amount, that puts us to £210.00 of £500.00.

Columbo & Louis Armstrong will be done as soon as my new black markers arrive (both ran out finishing off the last one so ordered a 6 pack) - hopefully today or tomorrow they will get here - along with a couple more flesh colour pens (so I should be able to attempt another face in colour) along with full slate blue scale (light to dark) - so soon I'll be able to have the option of picking a scale (blue/brown etc), monochrome or full colour soonish.
