I'm coming back to the scene of the crime, if that crime was to have loads of fun and meet cool people, which I suppose it is nowadays, isn't it? Thanks Tony Blair.

Hi, Nick!
Was interested in IDW Lockdown looking pleased with himself over a victory/successful bounty hunt.
I will be at the show all weekend for pick up. Thank you!

Hi Nick! I'm Brenna, and I'd love a drawing of Beast Wars Dinobot. If he had a sharp toothed, victorious grin in this sketch that would be awesome too!! I'll be around the whole weekend and would probably pick this up Saturday. Thanks so much!
I'm Nick Hogg, and I would like a Ultra Magnus . My idea is I'd like to have him looking stern with maybe a bit of you should get back to work look maybe pointing, I plan to put this up in my office. I'm there both days at TFCon Toronto so I'm flexible and either days works for me. Let me know if you need anything else. And sorry I posted in the head shot comment at first because it's early morning and I cannot read before coffee.
My name is Audrey D., and I was wondering if I could commission MTMTE Rodimus and Ultra Magnus kissing? (If you're not comfortable with that, please let me know, and I'll happily toss something else at you!) I'll be at the convention Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
I really do hope we'll see you at TFCon (and in Transformers) in the future.
My name is Austen Payne, and I'd like Tarantuals! I'd love it if he could be attempting to eat an ice cream or Popsicle with his big gross mandibles!
I'll be at TFCon all weekend so I can pick it up any time!
Thank you!
Hi Nick! My name is Sivan (@sprung4springer on twitter), and I was hoping to commission IDW Springer and Verity having fun together in the Alaskan summer. My idea involved a tire swing (after all, what better way to set one up than to use the help of your robot friend taller than most trees), but the details are up to you!
I mentioned this to you over on twitter, but I'm not going to be there in person at Toronto. However, my friend Jam will be at the convention and able to pick it up in my stead on Saturday.
Thank you so much, and I hope to see you at a convention sometime in the future!
Hey Nick, I'm Jupiter, and I would like to commision you for IDW Perceptor and Brainstorm kissing, namely with Percy dramatically dip kissing a maskless and surprised Brainstorm. It is a birthday present (from me, to me) and I can pick up either saturday or sunday at the convention. Thanks so much, and I look forward to meeting you in person!
Hi Nick!
My name's Casey and I was wondering if I could get Rodimus giving finger guns while winking? I'll be able to pick it up either Saturday or Sunday so whatever works best for you! Thank you so much!
Hey Nick! It's nice to see that you're coming back to Canada again. My name is Cheyanne and I would like a commission of Tarantulas giving Prowl a hug. I will be at TFCon on the Saturday. See you there!
Hey Nick! One regret from my Tfcon last year was not getting a commission from you. So glad, opportunity has come around again! My oddball request; looking for (without the boxing gloves and ring) this pose from Rocky https://www.phillymag.com/ticket/2016/12/03/rocky-oral-history/- only with Impactor and Overlord. - Looking forward to seeing you; Phil Lewis
Hey there! I'm Isaac. If you could, I was hoping for a commission of Prowl and Tarantulas, as flirtatious and mutual (or one-sided!) as you'd like! Like Sivan, I won't be at Toronto myself, but my pal Jam will be able to pick it up for me on Saturday. Thanks a bunch, and I hope to meet you in person sometime at a later con!
Hey, Nick! Great to see you back again!
My name is Katie B. (friends call me ‘goosey). If possible, I would love a torso shot of IDW/MTMTE Tailgate flexing with him saying something hokey like ‘who ordered tickets to the gun show?’ (Not necessary of course!)
I’ll be at TFCon all weekend: totally flexible on time/day of pick-up! :)
Many thanks!
Second thought - can I have this same concept but instead using hot rod and getaway ?
Second thought - can I get this same concept but instead with hot rod and getaway
Hey guys! Nick here! Thanks for all the requests so far. I'm delighted to be able to this for you guys. Just popping in to address some queries!
@FRANSOUN: Hey! Do you mind if I don't get into the robots kissing stuff? It probably paints me as a hate-filled prude with no love in his heart, but it's not something I'm really into drawing with these guys. Happy to do something else fun. You can answer here or on twitter. THANK YOU.
@JUPE S: The same I'm afraid. I know. What a joyless husk I am. (Plus, the physical interaction you asked is not easy to pull off for two torso shots: If one's dipped, we're into leg territory right there!) Do you wanna come up with an alternative idea? I could have Brainstorm hanging upside down making goo-goo eyes at Perceptor as he works maybe?
@SIV: Hey! This is a lovely idea, and I'll do what I can, but the problem with a torso shot, is that you're not going to get much of an idea what the characters are sitting on if the image doesn't go beneath the waist. Its more figure (and additional background detail) than the category of sketch calls for. I'm absolutely up for doing it, but I'm just being fair and letting you know where the image will begin and end.
I hope that's ok? Sorry if I'm a curmudgeon with some of this stuff. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys in a few weeks!
Nick
Hey, Nick! That's not a problem at all! It's definitely not for everyone, and I love you and your work - I'd never want to ask you to draw something you weren't comfortable with. I'm going to bop over to the full body commission post for my new request!
Hey Nick, Jupiter again, no prob bob! I like the idea of Brainstorm being upside down, if there’s any way you can give the picture a definite reciprocated ‘more than friends slash weird coworkers’ I’m down with it. Go wild. Thank you again, I very much appreciate it!
Hi Nick! Thanks for letting me know; do you think that this idea would work better as a full body?
Hey Siv! I'm not trying to up-sell you! :) It's your call. If you can think of a nice composition that just spans the bots torso, I'd love to take a crack at it, but otherwise I'm either drawing it chopped off at the waist, and trying to make it work (and maybe I can!), or I'm veering into full-fig territory. No rush on a solution, just wanted to float it with you.
Hi Nick! I thought it over, and I think I'm willing to jump over to full-fig instead, if you're willing! :D Should I repost my original comment over on the other post?
Yes please, it really helps me. AND THANK YOU!
Hey Nick, just wanted to checkin and see if you had any questionsésuggestions about my request -Phil
Hi Nick, is there a cut off for a commission piece for TFCON Toronto?
If I still have time I'd love a Preceptor commission.
My name is Keith and I'll be at the convention all weekend.
Thanks again,
Keith
No cut off at all, Keith! YOU'RE IN!
Hi Nick! My name's Gale, If these are still available I'd love to commission a torso sketch with Rodimus and Drift in his season 1 design as an additional character. I'll be attending all three days of the convention and should be able to pick it up whenever is convenient, and cash or paypal shouldn't be an issue
Thanks for the opportunity! I really admire your work and I'm excited for the chance to meet you at the con!
Hey Nick, sorry to do this to you but because of family stuff I won't be making TFcon Toronto so I won't be able to get a commision from you. I don't know yet if you were planning on making TFcon Chicago, since there's a chance I'd be able to attend that but otherwise I will have to cancel my order. :( Again, I apologize, I was really looking forward to it & being able to meet you in person, hopefully sometime things will align that way.
Jupe, it's no problem at all. Thanks for letting me know, and I hope all is well. If I am at Chicago, consider yourself back on any list I'm running. Cheers!
Awesome, thanks again .
See you there.
Keith
Hi Nick! My name is Michaela, and if you're still doing these, I'd love to get a contented looking Minimus Ambus talking (with a bit of a smile, perhaps?) to Verity, who I'd like sitting in his hands and looking thrilled to see him! I'll be around all weekend, but I'd love to pop by on Saturday for a pick-up. Thank you, I'm excited to see you again!
Hi there Nick! My name is Ian Monsen, big-fat-dynamo on tumblr, buddyfrienddude on twitter.
If I'm not too last-minute, I've got an odd one for you. Would you mind doing a commission of the character Doris from the game Wild Guns Reloaded? I've got all the references I could find just in case. https://puu.sh/yKUsk/80358e7780.jpg
Again, a bit out-there, but I'm hoping it's not too far out of your comfort zone!
I will be at TFCon Toronto for all of Saturday, so I should be available to pick it up at any time then. Thanks again!
- Ian
Hello Mr. Roche! I would like to see Grimlock and Slag in a standoff, as if they're about to come to blows for leadership of the Dinobots! (Your designs are preferred, of course)
