Help me make a decision on something you guys.  I want to invest in some sketch commissions after Christmas.  I'm undecided whether I want the sketches to be of different characters from Battlestar Galactica, or if I want them all to be of Starbuck.  It would be cool to have all Starbuck cards in different styles, but it would also be cool to pick artists based on the characters I think they're styles would fit best.  What would you do?

why not do both? Ask each artist to do a Starbuck, and one other character? Or some can do Starbuck, and others an assortment of other characters, depending on the artist's strengths? That way you've got a cool BattleStar Galactica collection, with a Starbuck-heavy theme...?

I'm all about not limiting your options!
 :D

That would be cool, but I think I would have to win the lottery to do it!  :rofl:  I also collect HP, some Lost and now some BSG.  Plus replica props, costumes and whatnot (making and buying).  I need cheaper hobbies.  Maybe I should take up rock collecting instead!   ::)

You know, when I started getting commissions, my goal was to
get one of every character and creature in Harry Potter! But I
found out it's really difficult to accomplish that!!  :-\
So lately, I have really been enjoying the work I have been getting
with my Captain Jack sketches!!!  (:D# So I've been sticking to that
for now!  ;D

Well Kelly,

you can guess my answer.... being a huge Darth Maul collector (with balrogs on the side), i would suggest concentrating on Starbuck.... its would be such a cool collection too, especially as i've seen a number of the cards you've acquired recetnly from Randy and Ingrid ;)

Hell you (if you wanted to mix it up a bit) get a few Starbucks in the style of Dirk Benedict.

We already have a number of collectors who collect character specific sketch/art cards...

We have an avid collectors of the following characters
- Leia
- Aayla Secura
- Darth Maul (two of these)
- Balrog (two of these)
- Obi Wan
- Boba Fett
- Captain Jack  (:D#
- Hulk
- Iron Man

so why not lets add a Starbuck collector to the fray  8)

Yep, I decided on Starbuck.  ;D  She's definately my favorite character.  Word has it that she's going to be killed off the show in the next few episodes.  :'(  I'm hoping she comes back as a cylon!  >:D

Oh no..... i don't have access to Season 3 yet - so i'm falling behind and am extremely upset  :'(

:o  How can you have Battlestar Galactica without Starbuck?

I just realised, aren't we getting sketches for a new BSG set?? That'll be good for ya??

I'll be looking forward to seeing your collection of Starbucks increase.... this'll be fun!!

I'm looking forward to this new Star Wars 30th Anniversary set - especially if it comes to fruition with sketch cards....

The sketch cards are all of various spacecraft, from what I've seen either Vipers (both types), Raptors or Galactica

Although I will be getting one for my master set, I can't say I'm greatly inspired with these cards and I think I would prefer character based cards

Sorry about that semi spoiler.  :-\  Nothings been confirmed yet, so it may all be just a publicity trick to get everyone hyped up.  I'll just say that season 3 has been really good!
