Cover commission
Spider-Verse limited digital cover commission
An original cover drawn for a numbered digital edition, with board sketches, colour flats, and a mint record kept with the file.
Who this commission is for
Collectors who want a Spider-Verse cover that exists only as a numbered digital edition, not a reprint of a newsstand issue.
What you leave with
You receive a finished cover file, a signed certificate of edition size, and the mint transaction details that match the numbering on the cover itself.
Scope
One cover composition in a Spider-Verse costume and city setting you brief. We handle pencils, inks, colour, lettering for the trade dress, and the edition ledger.
Included
- Two pencil directions on board, photographed for review
- Inked line and colour pass with one round of trade-dress changes
- Numbering treatment (for example 07/25) integrated into the cover design
- Minting of the agreed edition size on the chain we use for covers
- Printed paper ledger posted to Burradon clients or mailed within the UK
Not included
- Interior sequential pages or a full issue
- Licensed Marvel house trade dress copied from an existing issue
- Unlimited open editions
- Same-week convention rushes
Who draws and mints
Cover work is drawn in-studio by Rhys Calder (line) and Nia Okeke (colour), with minting overseen by studio lead Mara Quinn.
How the weeks run
- You send a brief: character stance, city or dimension, costume era, and how large the edition should be.
- We reply with a feasibility note and a quote based on figure count and edition size.
- You approve one of two pencil boards.
- Inks and colour follow. Trade dress (title lock-up, edition bug) is set last so numbering sits in the art, not as a stamp on top.
- We mint the edition, send you the files, and post the paper ledger.
Where the work happens
Drawing and colouring happen at the Burradon studio. Briefs and approvals are by email or a scheduled studio visit.
What to prepare
Bring reference for the costume you care about (classic red-and-blue, Miles’s hoodie, Gwen’s ballet tones, or a specific variant). Note any city you want: Manhattan skyline, rumble in another dimension, or a quiet rooftop.
Limits we will not stretch
We do not copy an existing Marvel cover line-for-line. Edition size is locked before inks so numbering can be designed into the piece. Maximum edition for a commission is 100.
