5 DOLLAR COMMISSIONS- Also, An Easy Chance at Free Art!
14 years ago
Okay, guys, I'm going to extend an offer to you~
On Monday,
dragonexer1 and I are starting a week of summer camp, and we go to cool places like the beach, waterparks, river rafting, and theme parks. It's totally amazing! The camp itself was kind of expensive, I had to go halfsies on it, I'm just grateful my parents fronted the rest. I've been waiting all year (this is my only vacation this year, winter and summer) for this! ^.^
...Only one problem.
I don't have any money D:
That means no food, no arcade stuff, no rides at Belmar, no cheesy souvenirs, nada.
The only thing that worries me is the lack of food. My mom REFUSES to give me money to get something to eat, which means no lunch all week :/
I suppose it's not a super-noble cause or anything, but I could sure use your help. ^.^;
So, I'm doing sheets like this: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6120619 for 5 dollars. You get a headshot, a chibi pose, and a sketch from the waist-up or so, all fully inked, colored and slightly shaded. I'm really proud of my new coloring style, I think it's more prismatic <3
I'm begging you, I haven't had a commission in 6 MONTHS. And that was my ONLY ONE.
I'm not trying to guilt-trip ya or anything, but really... everyone wants my art when it's free, but when I charge even 5 dollars nobody cares? I can't even measure the amount of requests and gift art I've done, and I feel super-lucky when I get to land a trade, but those same people who request and trade are nowhere to be found when I need a little hand? It's easy to feel gypped....
Bah, whatevs. That's kind of a rant I've had bottled up for a while, I understand that people don't have money to spend on amateur art in this economy, I don't blame anyone ^.^; I just have to get better until my art is worth 5 bucks c:
So, back on topic, please, please, dear god I'm begging you.... anyone want a character sketchsheet? ;3;
5 dollar slots-
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
(slots are pretty much unlimited, even though I don't think anyone will sign up for one....)
My family paypal is scieslik@comcast.net, it's the only way for me to accept payment.
So, because people only want my art when it's free, I figure I'll offer a little of that too...
if you can spread the word about my 5 dollar commissions and this contest in a journal (just put a link to my journal into your journal), I'll enter you in a raffle for one of those same sketch sheets. There will be 3 winners, I'm going to close the raffle off at 30.
Raffle-y Raffle-

Also, utterly unrelated, but I randomly decided to watch That's So Raven on ABC, because it's on right now. Oh shit, I'm nostalgia-tripping like fuck xDDD That was my favorite show when I was like, ages 5 through 10, and looking back it wasn't as unbearable as other shows I liked at that age. Oh, Corey, Y U SUCH A DEVIOUS BUSINESSMAN? xD

;__;
I really hope someone commissions you.
Holy crap, when I was little, I. Loved. That's so Raven.
SO HARD
I fairly recently watched the 'smoking episode'
and came to a conclusion.
....
The redhead is so freaking PRETTY. 8I
SHE COULD SEE THE FUTURE AND STUFF
Right freaking now, I am going to check if they have any episodes on On Demand....
I just saw the episode where they were working as dog groomers and they accidentally dyed the dog pink o3o
But now Hannah Montana is on.. gross D: lmao
And DO YOU KNOW WHAT.
I'm only noticing the redhead's attractiveness now that you mention it o3o
And yeah, I'm tooootally hoping I can make at least 5 or 10 bucks.. I can probably mooch some money off my friends who are also going to camp, but I don't want to do that because it's kind of skeevy >w< lol
*hugs* thanks sooo much for helping me out <3
*passes out*
Yeeep.
I miss the old days of Disney. ;o;
*hugs back*
It's no problem..:3
I can tell just by looking at her face that she has a yeast infection that will never, ever go away.
She scares me profoundly ;3;
Yeah, I miss when Disney wasn't an evil multinational media monster... I miss them being only mildly evil. </3
Before Disney Channel, before ESPN and ABC (I am NOT kidding, they control both those networks), and most of all: BEFORE THE DREADED MICHAEL EISNER.
I'LL PROTECT YOU FROM THE UGLY DRAG-QUEEN
Seriously, they control ABC?! Bummer. :\
HER DRAG ISN'T EVEN THAT GOOD
SHE'S LIKE A SCARY BLONDE GLITTERBUG
Hannah Montana is really like, the draggiest stage name I've ever heard... and Disney is supposed to have a stick up their ass about the whole "clean family programming" crap xD
They control a terrifying amount of stuff. ;3;
The media's been taken over by conglomerates in the last 20 years or so... I recently discovered that one of my favorite radio stations is owned by Clear Channel, this lunatic right-wing radio conglomerate that sponsors... GLENN BECK.
Oh, Jersey Radio Q102, I don't think I can ever enjoy you again. D:
.__.
Awww...
And yeah, she was funny xD
Corey was my favorite character, because he's just so evil when it comes to money xDDDD
So I did what I could and pimped your journal instead :)
I entirely approve of your shirt.
IT MAKES YOUR TORSO 20 PERCENT COOLER
It's a downright worthy expense! xD *highfives*
Only bad part is that it arrived the day AFTER Brony Appreciation Day. Oh the cruel irony!!!
EVERY DAY CAN BE BRONY APPRECIATION DAY. B3
You gotta repost a journal with a link to mine though, rules are rules o3o
but you are at the top of my list
Sorry.
I figure I just have to make my art better, THEN THE COMMISSIONERS SHALL COME
xD
