I have updated my commission info in effort to try to simplify my pricing system a little from what it was. I've also added kraft paper and chibi options!

Also, because I'm in URGENT NEED of cash(as usual), I'm offering a 20% off incentive for the month of April only! I've got lots of bills due and it just isn't looking like I'm going to make them OTL

★ General Info ★

● No more than 2 slots per person at once. I don't mind doing multiple works for the same client, but I can't have a single person filling up my queue all the time.

● Please note that it may or may not take me a while to complete your artwork, depending on my school schedule and life stuff. Sometimes I'm incredibly quick, sometimes I'm slower than Christmas.

● You can always find my commission progress on my profile page. If I owe you something and you want to know the status of your commission you can check there, but you can always note me for an update.

If you're waiting on a Mystery commission from me, your art is done, I just have to get everything uploaded. I'll send them out in the next couple of days.

Mystery commission time again!

These are not quite like normal commissions. For these, I will draw the character of your choosing, but I will choose the type of art you get! Exactly what you receive will depend on my mood and how the character you request inspires me. You wont know exactly what you're getting until it's finished!

You might get a rough sketch, lineart, loose colors, or maybe even something digital. Could be a chibi, could be a bust, could even go as far as a halfbody.

I've uploaded some of the finished products from the last time I did these HERE to give you an idea of what you might get, but you aren't guaranteed one of these styles in particular.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

You WILL get the character you ask for! That part isn't a mystery...unless you just want it to be.

You WILL get your $5 worth, but keep in mind just how little $5 really is. These will be quick, sometimes rough drawings, not super colorful detailed illustrations.

---

PRICE: $5 each. No couples or groups, but you can request multiple drawings of different characters if you want.
PAYMENT: Paypal only. Must be received up front.
HOW TO ORDER: Drop me a note with a short description and any references you may have of the character you want drawn and I will tell you where to send the moolah.
WHAT YOU GET: It's a surprise!
EXAMPLES: You can see some of the past mystery commissions HERE

Due to the random nature of these commissions, no shipping will be offered. (I simply don't know what they'll be drawn on, how big they'll be, or what else might be on the same page)

Time for something a little different with commissions! We've been discussing this for a while, and now that ~OrneryJen has GRADUATED FROM NURSING SCHOOL, we're offering some pretty quick little collaboration commissions!



WHAT YOU GET____________
Pencil lines by me with digital colors by ~OrneryJen. Simple pattern/texture background.

HOW TO ORDER____________
Send a note to ME with a short description and any references of the character you'd like drawn. Full payment (paypal only) will also be sent to me.  I will take care of forwarding the information  and her portion of the payment to my partner in crime. Please be sure to include somewhere in your note (preferably in the title) that you want a tag team/collab commission instead of one of my regular commissions to prevent any confusion.

PRICES__________________
(subject to change depending on interest)
     bust/portrait: $10
     halfbody:$20

SAMPLES_________________
Sorry, the last two are like two years old. The pencil drawing itself wont look as bad as those OTL

Yeah...I gots one! Going to be posting sketches, WIPs, and probably some giddy art supply rants from time to time, stuff I generally don't post on DA. I don't intend to do alot of reblogging stuff (I kinda find that a smidge annoying on art blogs) Still really new to this thing. Sorry there's not much there at the moment, but I haven't really done much art that I can post online just yet. It's coming!

Art mood swings, I has them! I wouldn't even call it an art block because it's not that I cant/don't know what to draw, I just don't feel like drawing period. I go through this terribly productive/unproductive cycle every other week or so. I'll be so productive and draw so much a week or two, and the next week I'd rather craft or play video games or something, and don't even pick up a pencil. The entire month of December pretty much put me in the off stage of this cycle. But...I think I'm starting to come back into the productive stage!

I'm sorry to everyone who's been waiting on commissions! It may still be a while yet for some of the bigger ones because I have some...deadline sensitive commission work outside of DA due at the end of this month. However, I am trying to work on da commissions along side that. Once that's done I'll be able to devote most of my time to regular commissions. Hopefully I can get most of them knocked out in a timely matter.

So, I hope everyone had a good Christmas and new year! My christmas was pretty good, and new years is never anything spectacular for me because I'm not a party person, and staying up past midnight is nothing special. Though I do believe the idiot rednecks down the street from me were shooting shotguns instead of fire crackers OTL  But...year of the rabbit is my year, so maybe this will be a good one!

I don't say it often enough, but thanks for your support! I know I'm really bad about replying to comments, but I read every one and appreciate all the comments and faves from you guys <3

First off! I've opened some regular commission slots after keeping them closed for so long. Only two though! When those fill they'll be closed again. Check my COMMISSION INFO JOURNAL for the run down on those.


Now for the mystery commissions...

---

What's the mystery?

For $5 I will draw the character of your choice just like a regular commission. The catch? I get to choose the art type you get. Meaning you might get a chibi, a bust, a sketch, lineart, rough colors, maybe even something digital! It will all depend on my mood, and what I think will suit the character you request. You wont know exactly what you're getting until it's finished. Fun? or Scary? XD

You WILL get your money's worth, but remember, $5 isn't much so don't be expecting a fully detailed illustration. They will be somewhat quick drawings.

Just to be clear, you WILL get the character you ask for. That part isn't a mystery...unless you just want it to be XD

Feel free to ask questions if there's something you're not sure about!

---

PRICE: $5
PAYMENT: Paypal only, must be received up front.
HOW TO ORDER: Drop me a note with a short description and any references of the character you'd like drawn and I will tell you where to send the moolah.
WHAT YOU GET: It's a surprise!

Due to the random nature of these commissions, no shipping will be offered. Sorry.

Samples? It's hard to pull together examples for something so random. The very least you will get is a  rough sketch but you could get as much as some quick colors or something in between

I'll be coloring this.

My online status will always be in the journal title. Even if it's like 10 hours after the time I start, if the journal says online, chances are I'm still working on something (unless it's on the off chance that I forget to update this journal before I pass out in the floor)

My internet hiccups alot, so if I disappear without saying I'm leaving, be patient, I'll be back.

Lookout, Sonny got a new toy <3

I don't usually get so excited to the point of writing journals about getting new art supplies, but this thing is something I've been needing/wanting for a while now and I'm hyped. So if you don't feel like reading a giddy rant about a LIGHTBOX of all things...just turn back now.

So like...I use a lightbox for pretty much every single finished piece of art I do (to transfer my sketches onto bristol) Until now all I had was one of those cheapo $30,  10x12 inch artograph light tracer things that are really too small to do anything with, and bulky to boot. I had thought about building my own larger one, but I'm lazy. So for the past month or so I've been eyeballing copic's TracePad (it isn't really MADE by copic, they just...endorse it I guess?) and I finally broke down and bought the friggin thing (from blick for about 200 bucks)

It's so thiiiiiin! Like, almost as thin as my wacom! I can actually ink things without having to lift my elbows up to my ears because of a stupid bulky lightbox! And it's so well made, and sturdy as hell. From the internet pictures I really thought it would be all plastic like the artograph box and flimsy because of how thin it is, but it isn't at all <3 The back of it is metal and it's pretty dang heavy. I'm actually thinking this thing might be worth the money I spent on it, especially for as much as I use a lightbox. And for once I can actually do a larger piece and have it all on the lightbox at once. Before if I wanted to do something on, say, 11x14 paper I could only have half of it on the lightbox, and had to worry about bending what was hanging off DX TracePad is 11x17 (according to the box, by my measurements it's more like 12x16.75) which is way bigger than I normally work, and even if I did want to do something larger than the workspace, it's so thin that I'd be less likely to bend it.

I do wish there was a cheaper alternative for thin panel lightboxes, but I couldn't even find anyone else to make them in that SIZE, and some that were half the size of this thing were just as expensive! I was starting to think "wow...did I really just spend that much money on this thing?" but when I opened it up I was so very pleased. I might even say it was a better investment for ME than my wacom, which mostly collects dust now (of course for some people it probably sounds stupid to spend that much money on something made for tracing) The only thing I don't like is the lack of on/off switch...you have to unplug it to turn it off.


And look at the difference between the TracePad and my old lightbox...


Also...exposure compensation on camera makes it look radioactive or something when it's lit up.(it's not really THAT bright)

Some of you may remember, just about a year ago I posted a journal with pics of my art room. Well, since we moved in October, I no longer have a separate bedroom and art room, so I sort of found a way to combine the decor of the two former rooms(my bedroom was red and black, my art room was lime green and teal/turquoise). I finally got cleaned up and most of my stuff hung on the walls in a remotely decent manner and decided to take some pictures :3 I take much pride in my decor <3


And for the record, my walls are not quite so orange. They have a slightly more red tint to them. Some people call it red, some people call it orange, I just call it vermillion.











(so the filet afghan is kind of dated and tacky but my grandma made it for me and it's pretty and I love it)

UPDATED COMMISSION INFO

Open for regular commissions again now that the Christmas rush is over. You may notice I've taken down my commission prices for sketches/lineart/etc. It just gets to be to much to keep track of in one post, so I think from now on I'll just offer special sketch commissions and stuff at certain times. I also added a section to the right of my journal to keep track of everything a little better.

It must seem like I'm always begging for monies these days. Oh, wait...that's because I am OTL

Santa Claus DOES exist! And he comes in the form of a slightly creepy AT&T tech named Adam. After almost THREE MONTHS of waiting for them to dig holes and run phone lines, I have a constant, reliable source of home internet again! *swoons* Now I can turn back into a depressed hermit that doesn't even step outside for days at a time. Really...I wonder if getting DSL back is such a good thing after all XD I was actually starting to spend time outside of my dark bedroom.

However, with the return of internet, I wonder...If I could get a webcam set up decently, do any of you think you could get past looking at my fat hands and short pudgey fingers long enough to watch some copic livestreaming? I had been wanting to make another tutorial, but to get all of the information in that I'd like I would have to make like...five or more. Plus, my coloring seems to keep changing, so a tutorial has the chance of becoming outdated really fast, like my first one has. Livestream just seems like an easier alternative.

On another note...happy new year and whatnot. A little late, but I hope everyone had a great 2009 and has a better 2010. 2009 was hella stressful for me, just...not the best year emotionally. And yet, somehow...it's the best art year I've had in a while. I feel like I actually took a step forward in my art this past year. Crazy how these things work.

How does 2 weeks turn into 3 months!? Still no sign of me getting home internet any time soon. First AT&T said it would be 2-3 weeks (back in October) then it was 4-6 weeks, then they said December 1st, now they're saying December 31st. At this rate I probably wont have home internet until JULY e__e What the hell is up with this!? Does it REALLY take that long to run a telephone line into a neighborhood?

---

</small> </DIV>

I've been in the process of moving to a new house over the past couple of weeks. My parents built a new house in a new subdivision (and I'm lazy and jobless so I'm moving with them instead of getting my own place e__e) I thought they were going to hook up the phone and internet today, but now it's going to be another 2 weeks. Seeing as how it's in the middle of nowhere and ours is the ONLY HOUSE ON THE STREET, there isn't even a phone line run into the neighborhood. I'll try to get on the internet at our old house or at school and check DA when I can. Either way, my internet access is scarce. I FEEL SO ISOLATED!!!

Maybe I'll get a chance to take a breather from moving and unpacking to get some decent art done...without the internet to distract me and all e___e

Every once in a while I realize...I have way too much stuff that I don't use! O__O So here's hoping to get rid of some stuff. Mostly art supplies, mostly paper....and a few manga. Got some really nice, quality art supplies here, some never even used once. If maybe you don't need any of this stuff, but know someone that might want it, would love for you to spread it around :3 Don't make me have to resort to the ebay giant DX

If this goes well I may post more stuff later. I haven't even begun to go through all of my stuff DX

So, here we go...


Naruto vols 1-3 - has some bent corners and stuff - $10 for all 3
