  1. Would it be acceptable to use our own reference for the background? I’m having trouble finding something in your gallery that I’d like to use for the particular character that I chose.

  2. Dang it!
    I just got commissioned to do more work for a local poet…
    If I do get a chance….the pics on Top Cows site look pretty limited…every time I click on a character I get ” Page not available ” also,it looks like it’s mostly gals ( not that I don’t dig Gals lol ) is there more variety.

    • Good question. Any Top Cow character from any era is acceptable. So if you like one from the 90s, go for it.

  3. Is there a particular size/ratio/orientation (landscape or portrait) the piece should be in and are we allowed/supposed to letter the piece? I’m assuming anything goes as far as medium.
