San Diego Comic-Con is a truly magical place, but to us, Artists’ Alley (and Small Press, and the show floor…) is one of the most magical — because of the artists. Where else do you find this level of talent all in one place?
Here at the UBlog, we’re also big fans of original art — and we helped connect our readers to artists all year long with our list of Open Commissions, so that you could take home some truly one-of-a-kind, personal art pieces.
But what did the final results look like for many of our readers? We asked you — so let’s take a look:

Only two commissions this year, @TheHeroBiz and @chrissandersart . But I did buy originals from @reiq and Dean Yeagle as well. I actually prefer to flip through pre-drawn stuff and pick what I like since I lack vision. pic.twitter.com/HOmTurSg8F
