2 Weeks and Counting, Commissions open!
14 years ago
2 weeks and Counting until I am officially back home in Massachusetts. Chances are I will have absolutely NO money then, which is part of the reason for this journal, but I'll be making note of that later. What I'm mostly getting out is that, as said, in two weeks time, I'll be back in Mass, which means getting to see all my awesome peeps from back home! You know who you are.
It's official. I've signed my life away to a lease for an apartment off campus next semester. The guy who owns it is gonna be generous and let us transport some furniture from the dorms into there before we officially move in, and the place is a good price. Moving in with my friend Melissa and Skye, and we've more or less agreed who's helping do what. Only thing that will be tough is transporting furniture from my end. Yay money troubles.
Anywho, Starting to art again, and with this I'm once more going to try doing what I've tried before: Commissions! Seeing as I'll need money and the chances of me finding Holiday work is slim, I'll need to do something, and artwork is the only legal thing I can do to raise money >_> So yes! I may not have arted in a while, but I still can, and doing artwork for people who have paid money to me is surely how to get me motivated!
Technically I've always been open for commissions, but never had a pricing chart or announced it much. I will need the money for mostly one big reason, being the rental of a UHAUL trailer to take from Mass to Maine, but any other money would be helpful for other things, like food!
So here's a Pricing chart:
Traditional Paper Sketch: $2 (Done in pencil on paper, cleaned, scanned, cleaned again)
Traditional Inked Sketch: $5 (Done in pencil on paper, cleaned, traced in Pigma Micron pens or Nib pens, scanned, and cleaned again)
*Traditional Colored Sketch: $7 (Done in Pencil on Paper, Cleaned, Traced in Pigma Micron pens or Nib pens, colored with Colored Pencils, scanned, Cleaned)
*Digital Ink: (Done in pencil on paper, Cleaned, Scanned, Inked in SAI with Tablet)
Digital Colored Sketch: $7 (Done in Pencil on paper, Cleaned, Scanned, and color slapped on in SAI)
*Digital Flat Color: $10 (Done in Pencil on paper, Cleaned, Scanned, Inked in SAI, Colored with flat colors in SAI)
*Full Digital Piece: $15 (Done in Pencil on Paper or Digitally sketched with Tablet, Cleaned, Scanned if Traditional, Inked with SAI, colored with SAI, Shaded with SAI, Highlights in SAI)
Add Simple Background: $2
Add Complex Background: $5
3+ Characters: $2 for each extra character
Adult picture: Add $5
*Reference Sheet: $20-$30 (Done completely digitally. Pricing worked out based on details for Sheet)
Anything with an * means I can't finish or do it until after the 17th when I am home and have access to the supplies needed (Tablet mostly. Also colored pencils).
As many slots as I feel I can take really, so yeah. Also, if you guys could help spread the word. Some of you know my financial straights right now, and renting a UHAUL is a LOT of money I need to get together (Up to $300!), but any little extra money is helpful.
That's all for now!

If you think it would be a good idea, let me know, otherwise we could keep it separate.
