Commissions [Open] + Information

Tue Jun 16, 2009, 7:09 AM
  • Mood: Content
  • Playing: Still WoW... finally getting to run Ulduar!
EDIT: I thought I'd add this deal in here, since this is my commish journal: The next 3 (NOW 2) people who commission me will receive in addition to their commission a FREE SKETCH of whatever they like. Or, $5 off the commission ($3 off if it is originally $10, $2 off if it's a $5 sketch already).

If you want more examples of my artwork, please browse the gallery on this account, and also this one: ~Rujia-The-Lazy, though bear in mind the newest thing in there is still about 2 years old.

And now I ask for advice: what do you think will get people interested, watchers? I know my "fan base" (lulz) isn't especially large and that's probably a hindrance, but how do you suggest I get my name out there and get people excited? Should I cut my prices down the board since I'm just starting out, and if so, by how much? How cheap would YOU go for? Any advice is helpful. :)
Thank you!!

Commission info continues below.


Well, it's about a month into summer for me now, and it doesn't look like I'm going to be employed any time soon, so I think its time for me to go ahead and open up commissions.
I'm not expecting to make a ginormous amount of money out of this--I really just need book money for next semester, as that's probably the biggest expense I have at school. Every little bit helps, yall! :)

I can/will draw:
-Human(oid), animal (fantasy or otherwise), or anthropomorphic OCs
-WoW Characters
-Most things. Go ahead and ask.

I can't/won't draw:
-Mechanical things -- always been a weakness. Won't do them unless they are simple, because they just wouldn't turn out well.
-Sexual content. Of any kind. Snuggling is okay. :P

Commission prices* are as follows, in American dollars, with the best examples I can locate:

Rough Sketch: $5 [link] [link] (imagine one of the little boxes being the sketch)
Clean Sketch: $7 [link] [link]
Shaded Pencil/Ballpoint pen: $10 [link] [link]
Inked Drawing (presumably for you or someone to color): $10 [link]
Inked, Flat colors w/ marker: $15 [link]
Inked, Watercolor: $20 [link] [link]
Inked, Full color/shading with marker/pencil: $25 [link] [link]

Addition of backgrounds and additional characters to any of above: Variable, depending on complexity of request (could be as little as an extra dollar)

If you would like a glossy print of the piece in question, it'll cost you about $5 extra, to cover the cost of the print and mailing it to you.

*Prices may be raised or lowered depending on what is being requested. I will not go over $35, likely as not, unless you expect Da Vinci or something.

I have not included Photoshop colored anything here because I feel my skills are incredibly lacking when it comes to Photoshop compared to traditional work, beyond sketches. If you would like me to tackle something in Photoshop for you, it can be done, but the price will be negotiated between you and me personally. :) (Don't worry, they'll be in the same price range as those listed above!)

Slots:
1. =Deathcomes4u
2. ~DraconWolf88
3.

I will open more slots as(if) I get more requests, and I see how I handle the first few.

Payment method will be via Paypal.

*crosses fingers and prays*
