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:
Good Omens by Brianna Cherry Garcia
Community – Jeff & Annie by Val Hochberg
Good Omens Crowley + Venom Eddie Brick by Eggdrop Ramen

Not only is his regular art amazing, but I've been challenging him with odd commissions for the last few years and he NEVER DISAPPOINTS.
Visit Bob, but something he did, or commission your own art, you won't regret it! pic.twitter.com/6YaiIID5og
