Cal Santiago
Artist | Professional | Varied
Philippines
Comic artist and illustrator. Graduated from the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts, major in Visual Communication.

I have my own comics / komiks: a one-shot about Filipino martial arts known as "Rattan", which was released last March 2011. I also made an Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood / Project Legacy fan comic trilogy from June-August 2011.

Of course, I have my main series "The LightningFist" (or TLF for short), which I've been working on since 2006. A colored version of the first chapter can be found in my gallery.

That's all I can say for now. But to make things easier for you, just go ahead and browse my gallery. Peace out.
Interests
Hey all,

I'm pleased to announce that I am now open for commissions. To request an artwork or illustration, please send me a message via dA Note (for personal commissions only). You may also leave a commission request here in this journal entry's comment box as long as the request is specific enough. Please do not post commission requests in my user comments. If you would like to request a commission for commercial use, please notify me directly through my e-mail address, ccm.santiago823@gmail.com. We will discuss copyrights and fair use policies via e-mail as well.

I reserve the right to sell / use the finished images and / or final printed publications for my personal portfolio and/or post them in websites of which I am a member.

I reserve the right to refuse any commissions if I find the offered circumstances unreasonable.

I DO NOT ACCEPT POINT COMMISSIONS.

I WILL DO...

- Fan Art
- Pin-Up Posters
- Original Character Design (For YOUR characters!)
- Monster Design (Pokemon, Digimon, Ben 10, Monster Rancher, etc)
- Short Comics (1-3 pages only, canvas size is 8.5" x 11")


RATES:

Canvas size is variable. These rates are subject to change according to the amount of detail / number of characters / overall complexity of the background that is present in the image, as well as the given schedule.  If you have suggestions regarding the services I offer, please feel free to send me a note here on dA, or e-mail me directly. I do both digital and traditional illustrations.

Line Art and Inks = 20.00 USD

    

Greyscale / Monochrome Illustrations = 30.00 USD

  

Colored Illustrations = 40.00-65.00 USD

        
      

PROCESS:

1. Send me a note including contents of the commission via dA note. This must be specific, including canvas size (in inches or pixels).
2. After confirming the commission, please pay 50% upfront of the agreed payment. I accept payment via PayPal and will send a money request to your e-mail address. FAILURE TO PAY 50% OF THE PAYMENT WITHIN 72 HOURS OF CONFIRMING THE REQUESTED WORK WILL FORFEIT THE COMMISSION.
3. Immediately after receiving the 50% down payment, I will send via e-mail a rough sketch (or rough sketches as needed) for approval.
4. I will send a low-resolution version (72 dpi) of the finished piece on the agreed deadline.
5. As soon as I receive the second half of the payment I will send the high-resolution image via e-mail. (300 dpi)


PAYMENT:

I am accepting payment through PayPal and will send payment requests via e-mail.


CONTACT: ccm.santiago823@gmail.com


P.S. I DO NOT draw anime characters in generic anime style. However if you insist on requesting anime artwork I will draw it in my own style.
P.P.S. I am willing to draw adult material, however will DENY any and all requests that involve yaoi.

What do you like best about Cal's comics?

Hey Cal... when you draw using Photoshop, what size do you set your image to in terms of length x width in pixels?

Just "comic", actually. It won't be a full trilogy + prequel like the Fans & Switchblades comics.

Just around three more weeks to go, yeah. Already made it to the Honor Society, so that's good.

Actually I'm not as excited about AC3 as I should be. I dunno, I don't really like the fact that it's taking place in America (overused and over-glorified). French Revolution would've been much better, IMO. But I like the new Native-American Assassin so far. Still can't completely get over Altair and Ezio yet, though.

Oh yeah, have you also heard about Pokemon Black and White 2?
