TFNATION 2023 TORSO COMMISSION LIST

 It's summer, and I wanna get nice and sweaty over some convention commissions. WON'T YOU HELP A POOR BOY OUT?

It's TFNATION timethe convention with a heart bigger than the giant robots it celebrates. It's on from11th - 13th August 2023 at Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel, just outside Birmingham UK. I'm taking on some pre-show commissions! And you can tell me what you need below. Art-wise, I mean. Emotional support/character assassination can be provided, but only in person at the show.

Details below, follow the instructions, hit the Comments Section, and just tell me what you WANT from me, I'm beggin' ya.

Pre-Order Price for an A4 Black & White TORSO is £80 Add £50 for ONE additional character

Live-Action Movie Designs £100 :)

To be eligible for these, all you need to do is:

* Reply in the comments section below
* State YOUR name, the name of the CHARACTER you want, the VERSION (G1, Beast Wars, IDW, etc) and of the character you want.
* State the day you're attending and want to collect your commission on. All art will be ready for collection on Sunday 13th, unless you're a Saturday-only attendee, so let me know!
* Sorry, no fan/original characters, but feel free to request non-TF characters! 
* I will only be able to accept CASH at TFNation, no cards. 
* But, you can Paypal me AT the show if you can show me your digital receipt for the transaction.
**No over-the-top amounts of props or quirky accessories! (eg: Optimus Prime pushing a shopping trolley full of discounted porcelain.) They take additional time to research and/or design. But all reasonable requests considered! :)
* PLEASE only order a sketch if you will be able to attend to pick it up, and, you know, pay for it.

Hi, can I request 2 pieces please

Hi Nick.
Could I request a torso Transformers Prime Optimus Prime in any action pose.
If you could get in one of his hand cannon thingies, that would be great, but I'm happy with any pose.

I'm at TFNation all weekend.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Nick,

I would like a Torso Transformers G1 Shockwave for my friend Stuart. I'll leave the composition up to you. He has been his favorite character since the early days of Marvel UK. I'll be attending Thur-Mon so am about the whole show.

Hello,

I'd love a torso commission of Rung (mtmte). Perhaps where he's looking concerned while holding up his lil pad that shows a 'you need therapy' diagnosis or the like.
I'll be attending all weekend!

Heya!

I would love a torso commission of good ol ROTB Mirage! I suggest having one arm with his arm cannon thingy and the other just a normal hand, oh and add a smirk so it fits his whole persona :D

I'mma be at TFN all weekend!

All the best, Hamad Aman :)

Hey Nick,

Could I get a torso of Earthspark Hashtag, if possible posed with a couple of fingers against the temple (in a sort of Professor X way) like she’s excitedly receiving/transmitting a signal?

I’ll be at TFN all days so happy to pick up whenever’s good for you!

Thanks,
Gordon McKenzie

Marianna said...

Hello Mr. Roche!

Can I get a torso commission of MTMTE Pharma holding a glass of wine and looking a bit miffed/sassy?

I'm going to be attending the convention only on Saturday

Thank you,
Marianna

Angel Cloughton said...

Hi Nick, Could I please get a torso of Live action Ironhide showing off his cannons please? Do whatever you feel is best regarding this!
I'll be attending all weekend so happy to pick up whenever suits you best.

Thank you!
Angel

Kia K said...

Heya Nick! I'd love to commission you for a torso of RoTB Mirage, standing with his hands on his hips if possible, with a cocky grin/obnoxious smirk/whatever expression you deem fitting.
I'll only be attending TFN on saturday.

Thank you! :-)

Hi Nick

It's Richard. Please can you draw me Power of the Primes Dinobot Slash but if she had been in Maximum Dinobots.

I'm there all weekend

Raha said...

Hi Nick!

This time I'd like three torso commissions, all from MTMTE :
- A surprised Megatron getting a kiss on the cheek by Minimus.
- Nightbeat asking for a dance a bit bashfully while looking at the viewer.
- Nightbeat reading an anonymous love letter that's addressed to him (possibly from me...), I'll let you decide on his expression/reaction.

Thank you so much ! I'll be at TFN everyday and will pay cash.

Raha.

Cissy said...

HI Nick!
I'm Cissy, I'll be tabling at the forge with my boyfriend(we are the Italians(TM)) so we'll be there for some last-minute collection XD, like last year. We'd Like to as a torso of both IDW Megs and IDW OP being a bit cute together in a lovey-dovey way, maybe Megs teasing Op/touching his finials and OP being a bit bashful but keeping his hand firmly on Megs' shameless waist. I'll be honest the only OP panel in all of the wreckers has ruined me and has been living rent-free in my brain ever since so...

You're the best, thanks
-Cissy

Nick!

It's time to complete my LSOTW new-recruits commission pieces - I would like a nice Rotorstorm please! Nice as you like. As unbearably cocky as you like. Use a mirror for reference if you need it.

I'm there all weekend, I think you're fantastic.

Hi Nick,

Can I get a DMC4 Nero to go with the Dante you did me last year? I'll be around all weekend.

Owain Rudge said...

Hi Nick!

I would love to see your take on Armada Megatron please, can you tell I am being influenced by my own toy buying again?

I will be around the convention all weekend as usual, so can collect whenever is convenient.
Cheers and I hope it's a fun one to work on!

Owain

Peter said...

Hi Nick! Could I get a Dr Mandroid (Earthspark love) the design with the two robot arms from episode 18? I adore how tired and manic he looks. I'll be there Friday too Sunday! All weekend! I look foward to it!

-Peter

Jo said...

Hi Nick! Looking to get a torso comm of Armada Scavenger, looking cool and tough and like the most competent character in the show (which he is). Maybe with his big tread forearms revved up and in view?

Hopefully this time will go better than last year's - again, I'm really sorry for keeping you after hours on Sunday...

Will be there all weekend. Cheers!
- Jo

Hello Nick,

I hope you're alright with drawing Zartan and Cobra Commander (with his hood) from the Sunbow Animation show G.I. Joe (Torso). My only request when it comes to posing/composition is.. make it shippable.

I'll be at tfn for the whole weekend so pickup at sunday is ok.

thank you and greetings from switzerland!

Llama God said...

I knew there was something I’d been meaning to do…

Okay, not sure if this is the right category, since it’s more than a headshot but not quite a full body, so I figure this is the best place for it, so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong (like you’ll need any encouragement for that)…

But what I was after was Earthspark Megatron, seen like in that picture from the show where he’s holding Dot. But instead of Dot I’d like him to be holding the Scraplet. By which I mean my offspring, and not the robot metal munching virus thing. Although it can be easy to confuse the two. Asking for this since he’s obsessed with the Earthspark Megatron figure. Which is his now, really.

Obviously you’ll need reference materials, so I’ll fling those your way since I don’t think you’ll be keen to dig through all my social media posts yourself to find all my soppy postings. And I can’t say I’d blame you.

Any problems, you know where to find me. And we will indeed be at TFN all weekend, from the bitter start to the bitterer end.

Thank you!
