, everybody is welcome to donate more than the requested amount if they want too! 
, it's not like I see any of it anyway!.Just a quick update, got the donation for Tyrion & I'll have it in the post for you this weekend.
Now sitting at £815.00 raised @ 163% of target - £1006.25 (inc gift-aid!)
Glad it got to you
, hope you like it.Glad it arrived mate
, good practice as always!.
It's doable, but I'd have to ask for a slightly larger donation (would use about £10 worth of black ink in it lol!)how realistic is doing this on A3 its a lot of black?
A3 size, as the reference was CGI it kinda ended up looking half comic/half CGI with the reduced pallet.
Send donation after I've finished & your happy with the final result, but I've got quite a long waiting list atm - so I'll have to get back to you once I've cleared my current requests.
I'd also have to find a more detailed reference (As that ones a really small image).
Thanks dude, glad you like it.
.From what others have told the thin bezel black frames with a white inner border seem to work best with the monochromatic style.
Pencil drawn roughly, then detail pencil drawn to split into sections based on tonal ranges & coloured using promarker ink pens (I use photo-shop playing with brightness & contrast to create the layers to draw), I used to do loads graphical design so my approach is a little odd (I take regular measurements as I draw each section compared to that of the reference image) which makes it take allot longer, but keeps the perspective on track.

Glad you got it & you like it mate
.The most time I've ever spent on a single drawing that one
, black frame with a white inner border usually works best with the monochromatic style according the people at my local art shop the last time I got a couple framed.Ok, apologies for the slow updates & I've still got the requests in the que!.
Was finishing off a couple of work requests which came in a few months back but got missed over the last lot (inbox brimming with requests).
David Bowie - Labyrinth
Next on list is Star Trek then a couple of kids & finally the Sons On Anarchy one - I'll try to get as many done as possible over the weekend.

If you could take some new ones it would be great - with either a very dark or very light background - good light, reasonable contrast & closer up being the main thing
.Not really got a fixed limit, just extending the just-giving page as they come in.
I was going to end at the first target of £500, but once it got past £750 I thought I may as well go-to at least £1000.
Once I've cleared all my current requests I might have a think about doing something different to raise money (better £ per hour for the cause activity).
Awesome, may be a while waiting due to the long list - all donations are done after it's finished & your happy with it (also due to the fact I can't always give perfect timescales due to other time commitments
To update - sitting at £815.00 (at least £200/£300 due in from work done outside of OCUK so over £1000 now (£1250 inc gift-aid) - thanks for the all the donations so far.
