if you can, i'd call a lawyer before i sign anything. money is great, but inking yourself into a bad deal for the sake of it is a situation you'd like to avoid. make sure to get things in print as well on official letterhead, e-mails are falsifiable.

good luck!

thanks for the support, honestly I don't even think it's that special, i think a lot of artist can do it.. I just happen to be the first one who actually made a video on the idea of drawing both hand at the same time. Just take it a little slow, and have a lot of patience, and constantly switch attention for a good 2 hours.. lets face it, starcraft prepared me well for that (even then I was tired as hell afterward - felt like i was gonna throw up a bit lol). I don't really care about the money all that much, more of a curiosity and pretty happy since i love the show.

i just senta email to mayers (vice president), we'll see what happens.

ps. you think i should raise the price on my site??

get an agent. or at least do a free consultation with a lawyer. you want to make sure you can get every dime out of this possible. any time you sign the rights away to something, you could be also signing away residual income etc. not that it will probably be a huge amount of money, but you want to be sure you're getting a fair deal.

Now that you're recognized, you should up the prices on your site.

you want residual income. tell them you want X per month for every month they use your stuff. don't ask for a fat lump sum. ask for money overtime... you can get more that way and as you get more contracts like this you will start getting paid every month for doing nothing.
