or planning to draw monsters on them...

That is what I was thinking...

Draw something that would not have any issues getting approvals on.

I would assume the Monsters wouldn't have many approval issues.

what's fun about playing it safe, may as well not do any artwork for the sets then.
All the rules and requirements the card companies have heaped on us the last few years has resulted in very mediocre, safe, head shots.
I'd Rather pass on a set than do that nonsense, and have.

I do not blame you...

with all of the work you have to put into the sketches.

I am not an expert on how the whole sketch process works, but it would seem to me that if I was doing a card set based on a TV show or Movie, I would get pre-approvals of which actors or characters are OK to do.

But it seems to me with the Buffy Sketches that certain actors were very picky with what sketches they approved and I think Rittenhouse had to deal with these blows and do the best they could with what they had.

Monsters were safe, as long as it was one of the monsters that was pre-approved. There was a short list of monsters/demons that were ok to draw, all others would be rejected so we knew ahead of time not to bother with any non-pre-approved Big Bads.

Thanks to the artists for their replies. It seems to me that, while some approval problems may always exist, this product really pushed it.

One thing, I have never bought an artist proof sketch. It sounds like there is no way to tell if a sketch was seeded or if it was an AP unless you are the first owner. Is that correct, or do some artists mark their APs before selling them?

Thanks Mr. Cover, you are most helpful. And your scenes are great. As much as people like the portraits, I like to see background or a couple of characters interacting better.

Which one sold for $179.50?
That seems very cheap.

Scratch that, just found it.
It was the sketch of the Master by Roy Cover, definitely a steal at that price

I guess it would be safe to say that any sketch that just features Sarah Michelle Gellar/Buffy would be at least $1000.

The Angel/Buffy Sketch by Desbois sold for $1500...
