Ugh. So. Bills. etc. Not having electricity is retarded. I haven't been home, due to my life like, exploding right now. I've been hard at work on orders but haven't had much internet access outside of borrowing mobile phones and at libraries - Please don't freak out just yet, I've got my fingers crossed to sort my family situation out this weekend and upload all the completed orders next week, presently all pieces are completed except for one or two which are nearing completion.
Just putting this here to let you all know I haven't run off, and to thank you all again for your help. I know I've been incredibly unprofesisonal but things are hard right now.
...
Just a quick note to those who I promised would receive their orders this weekend - I am currently without electricity and have been for the last few days. I'm just logging on from a mobile phone right now. Pieces will be uploaded as soon as I sort my lack of power out.
...
I'd like to apologise for the initial delay in the first batch of orders. My last week has been a mess of unexpected occurrences, the most recent and time consuming of which has been the passing of my dearly loved retriever, Jarrah. Between tending to him and the the lingering sadness that ensues, I've been delayed in my completion of orders and for this I'm sorry, but I assure all those who are waiting that I have made a start on all orders and that they will be on their way in the very near future. Once again, a huge thank you to everyone who has supported me with this.
...
So, my con weekend is over and thanks to my lovely dA fans, lovers and lovees I was able to cover printing costs and other related expenses. And the news only gets better, with all the worries of churning out art entries for the con no longer relevant, I am able to make a start on everyone's commissions! Fantastic, I know, right? Well for the most part, many orders have already been planned out in the form of horrendous sketchbook scribbles and I am confident I will be finishing a number of them very soon, though I must apologise in advance for any waits or delays that anyone who has ordered a commission may experience, I started back at uni today and while these orders are my number one priority I have a very hectic schedule right now between commissions, uni, and trying to keep a roof over my head. Feel free to contact me at any time, I'm doing my very best to pump these bad boys out for you chaps as soon as possible, so sit tight lovelies and I'll do my best, though if you're a little lower on the order list expect some longer waits.
...
I'd like to thank everyone who has contacted me about commissions, you've all been a huge help, I honestly cannot express my appreciation enough, I'm pumped to get started on all your pieces.
...
That's right, everybody's favorite artist is now offering commissions; though there's a chance this will only be a limited offer, so like, seize the day or whatever. Or, like, seize the commission. Unfortunately, I won't have an example commission for y'all until I churn the first one out, so you'll just have to go off of my lovely gallery as a taste of my work.
What am I offering?Purchasing a commission from me entails that I'll spend the next few days furiously scribbling until a masterpiece emerges. I will draw whatever you want. Whatever, you want. If you want me to work from a photo of yourself, then I'll do it to it, if you want me to draw an original character then that is totally fine too, shit, if you want me to draw papa smurf hooking scooby doo up with a dutch rudder then that is totally, 100% cool with me. All I ask of you is that you send me some reference pictures, and if that's not available, just describe what you want to me, I won't let you down.
What do you get for your money?You get top notch, pantswettingly amazing artwork that I spend painfully long hours on, I promise quality no less then that of the greatest pieces currently in my gallery.
Oh, I've totally sold you, right?Yeah, yeah I have.
So what're you charging, big boy?I feel I've set excrutiatingly reasonable prices, and given that my financial situation currently in a very very (very) bad state, I'm devoting a lot of time for the price.
If you're on the fence just now as to whether or not you really want in on this, just know that this money literally helps me live and cope with my many expenses.
So, prices ensue (All prices in $US):
-$20: [7000x10000 @ 900DPI] Full colour piece, with all the shading and toning that entails. plain fill / pattern background. These bad boys are at PAINFULLY LARGE RESOLUTIONS and you can print them off as big as you want, and it will look insanely sexy.
-+$5: For an extra five dollars per character, I'll draw another character for you in the same piece.
-+$10: For another ten dollars I'll draw a full background scene specified by the customer. I know this last one might seem steep but it adds a lot to the time it takes to complete the piece.
-xx: If you want something quick and easy, something silly and simple or just a scribble of indeterminate nature, feel free to negotiate a price, as long as I see it as something simple enough to warrant a bargain price, I'm totally cool with that.
(all orders will be processed within the space of one to two weeks unless they are like, insanely huge projects, though there's a good chance I'll finish these in a few days if I haven't already got one on the go, so hey, why don't you like, get in quick, huh?)
All orders should be sent to me via private message;
can't wait, chaps!
