Specifically, which characters you choose for commissions. I know some of you out there are more fervent collectors than I am so I wanted to hear what you think. Do you base it on the artist, or is it just which character is your favorite? Or is it a little of both? Let's say you're a huge fan of Superman, and you're also a huge fan of a certain creator, but said creator doesn't really draw a Superman you're in to. Do you just ask for another character?
I know I had to get a Captain Marvel from Chris Sprouse because Cap's a favorite of mine and I've never seen Sprouse draw him. Stuff like that. I've slowly been making a list of characters I'd love to see certain artists draw, even if said characters aren't my absolute top favorites, I think they're well suited to the artist. For my money, Yildiray Cinar
draws a great Hawkman. I'd imagine Jonny Quest by way of Sean Galloway 
would be pretty sick, and I love seeing Rev. Dave Johnson 
draw the classic suit and tie Nick Fury. I know I tend to ask for Captain Marvel or the Thing the most.This goes for artists too. Which characters do you get asked to draw most often, and do they match up to your own tastes? Looking over the last year or so of my own commissioned work, there seems to be 2 major groups: Pulp characters (mostly the Shadow) and characters from DC's Legion of Superheroes. This always strikes me as strange because I don't consider myself a huge pulp fan, and I know so very little about the Legion. Not that I mind, I enjoy finding out about characters I've never heard of, just think it's funny. Are there certain characters you would ask me for right off the bat?
So I guess treat this kind of like a forum, I'm really interested to hear all your answers to any of the above questions.

Thanks for the recommendation on Parlov, I'll have to check him out!
I'm most often as an artist commissioned to draw:
1) Batgirl
2) Spider-Man
3) Captain America
4) Power Girl
5) Harley Quinn
Beyond that, it's mostly female characters, with an occasional Thing or Legion member.

You draw an awesome Cap, man, I can totally see that. I consider myself lucky to have all the work you sent me last fall, but I know that the next time I see you I'm getting a Thor.
- Thor
- Thing
- Green Lantern
Oh-- and I get a ton of Kitty Pryde requests. Forgot about that.
Well, now I know that I'm getting a Thor/Thing Throwdown from you next time, ha!

I'm not sure how much you hate it, but I like to see you draw stuff you might not usually draw. Just to see it in your style. Mostly because I know I'll see plenty of the other in the future from other requests/stuff you do normally.
But that's just me.
On the topic of lots of '
And I don't hate it at all, I'm quite happy to be drawing every day and I love taking on new stuff. That Judge Dredd was something I probably wouldn't have done on my own but I had a good time with it.
Thanks for the kind words regarding the pulp stuff James.
But on the whole, I generally like to see people drawing characters they may not be known for but I'm interested in seeing their take on them.
And that's the best way to go with commissions I think. You want something special, something they're not going to draw every day.
