Star Wars Fan Days: WIN A $200 Sketch Card!!!

Update at bottom of page! 10/13/2009

Hey Star Wars fans!
Star Wars Fan Days 3 is coming to Plano Texas this October 24-25! Last years show was a great success and this year Fan Days looks to be twice the size and even more fun than last year. Star Wars Celebrity Autographs, Awesome panels, and of course an even bigger ARTIST ALLEY!

Fan Days 3 is all about the exclusives and Artist Alley has some of the best. Available ONLY at Star Wars Fan Days 3 will be exclusive Star Wars Fan Days 3 Sketch Cards. These cards will be in high demand, so if you can get your hands on one, this may be your one and only shot.
So how do you get one of these rare cards? Well there are only two ways.
  1. Buy one directly from my table. I will have a small amount of blank Sketch cards that I will make available for on the spot sketches.
For Star Wars fan Days ONLY I will offer these great prices…


-Black And White Sketch Cards: $25 each (normally $40)

Sample only! This is not the actual card

-Color Monotone Sketch Cards: $40 each (Normally $50)

Sample only! This is not the actual card






2. The best way is to purchase a VIP pass. This insures you get an opportunity to get
5 sketch cards from your favorite Star Wars artists.

This description directly from the Star Wars Fan Days Web Site:

The low-down: Each VIP card set (given out free to VIP ticket holders) will contain 5 blank sketch cards that you can use to have these artists do a quick 30 second free sketch for you. So as not to over-whelm any one artist, each participating artist will do 25 free sketches per day. Once they have done their 25, they will have a sign on their table saying they are done for the day, and then it’s up to you to hunt down another artist. This is a great opportunity for you to meet all of our very talented artists! Artists will also be available to ‘upgrade’ your card to include a more detailed sketch, ink, color, etc. Those fees are up to the individual artist and it’s the perfect opportunity to take home a one of a kind sketch card!

Pretty cool huh?
Wait! There is more!
I am giving VIP ticket holders the opportunity to get a FULL COLOR Fan Days Sketch Card for the simple price of a blank Fan Days Sketch Card.


 Sample Only!! Not actual cards.
How?

For the VIP sketch program ONLY, I will be pre creating 50 Sketch cards
before the show. 46 of these cards will be classic Black and White Sketch Cards; But 4 of these 50 cards will be in Full Color!!! A $200 value for each color card!


Now I know what you are saying. “That isn’t fair because the first 4 people at my table will get the full color cards.”
Nope, not necessarily.
Each of these 50 cards will be concealed and chosen at random by each VIP ticket holder trading in a blank Star Wars Fan days 3 sketch card.
So even if you are the last person in line you have a chance to pull a full color sketch card.
The great part is, even if you don’t pull a full color sketch card, you still pull a unique non-repeated Classic Black and White Sketch card. Of which you always have the option to upgrade for an additional charge (more about upgrading in a bit).

But what if you’re only coming for Sunday?…No worries, because I will only be offering up 25 VIP cards per day (23 Black and Whites, and 2 Full Colors).

To keep things really fair I will be initiating these very strict rules.
  1. Should there be 25 VIP ticket holders at my table in large groups I will be holding a sort of Lottery to determine who chooses in what order.
  2. For each Blank VIP SWFD3 Sketch card you trade in you may choose only 1 concealed Sketch Card. Example: If you trade in all 5 of your Blank VIP Sketch Card, you receive 5 choices. However, Should there be more than 1 VIP ticket holder at my table, you may only trade in 1 Blank Sketch Card for 1 choice until all VIP ticket holders trading in cards have chosen 1 card as well. After that you may trade in another card and then choose another card. This system will continue until there are no more VIP ticket holders trading in cards OR my Sketch Card supplies run out. Basically, I am making sure as many VIP ticket holders that would like a Randy Martinez SWFD 3 sketch card. Get one.
  3. Cheating or being rude to your fellow Star Wars fans will not be tolerated and you will not be permitted to participate in this fun activity at my table. But honestly, Star Wars fans are the best in the world, so I don’t think we’ll have to worry about thisJ


UPGRADING!!!!!

Okay, so you did not pull a Full color sketch card. You are still over joyed to pull a great Black and White sketch, but you’d still like to see it with some color.
Good News, you may upgrade your card to color!
I am offering a great deal to add color to your black and white sketch card!
I will be bringing my watercolors with me, so I will be able to do two types of color.



Monotone- A Single color base but with different shades and lighting. I did this style for the Star Wars Galaxy 4 Target Exclusive Sketch Cards. I normally charge $50 but you can upgrade to Monotone for only $20.






Full Color Watercolor- Not the same full color cards you will get a chance to pull in the trade in, but still very nice. These full color cards are done with a loose, expressive watercolor technique. I normally charge $75 each, but you can upgrade to Full Color Watercolor you pay only $40!

These Prices are only at Star Wars Fan Days!


But Wait THERE IS MORE!!!
 

In addition to participating in the VIP sketch card program, I will have a table full of limited edition prints, official Star Wars books, sketch cards, and hard to find Star Wars collectibles.

  2. Randy,
    Can I commission a piece from you now to pick up at the show. I will be trading a blank card to pull one, but can I order a color card now to have you draw and then pick it up? I'd like to order a monotone color card for $40.00 if that is okay. (I ordered a Jabba from you last eyar and love it). I'm hoping you can do a Dengar for me this year? See you at the show, and contact me at cperry06@juno.com if I can pre-order. (I wanted you to perhaps do a sketch in my sketchbook too but not sure if you are doing things at the show this year).
    Thanks!!
    Corey

  3. Awesome job at Fan Days Randy. Thanks for the sketch and the cards. I still can't believe that I pulled one of the color cards. After the show I realized that you did not sign your awesome Bib skecth you did for me, so I'll have to have you sign it when I see you at CV, what was that date again ......? See you soon man, your art is the best!! (Loved the dum-dums!)
