I'm just going to get straight to the point. I'm going broke. I did work a little over X-mas break, but the pay from that went right back into the internet, because I was mugged at my grandfather's burial. They stole my DS, and I officially win the sad game. Still, that's beside the point. The point is, I need $$! Luckily my parents are paying for tuition, and I got a scholarship that covers residence and dining fees, but I have zero extra cash. That means, while friends go out and do fun stuff, I sit all sad in my room and be emo. Now, this not being a desperate situation, I don't mind if things are few and far between, but I'd like to ask everybody to think about commissioning some art from me! I'm even knocking $5 off the prices in my information, which puts the current commish prices at something like this:

Pencil sketch, all shaded and pretty and clean (on high-quality computer paper, bonded to paper with spray so it won't smear): $5, $1 for each extra character

Inked lines, no shading (on nice thick paper, inked with copic multiliners): $10, $2 for each extra character

Finished colored pencil picture (on nice thick paper, prismacolor pencils, bonded to paper so it won't smear): $15, $2 for each extra character

Finished marker picture (on nice thick paper, prismacolor markers): $15, $3 for each extra character

The process goes like this: You ask me for a pic, specify however many characters and what they should be doing, and link me to any reference pics you'd like me to use. I draw a preliminary sketch and clean it up a little, then scan it/take a picture of it and email that to you. If you like it, you send me the money. If not, you tell me why, I tweak it, repeat the process. I keep working on the pic, and mail it to you as soon as I get the money or as soon as it's finished, whichever happens first. Everybody's happy!

Payment: As of now, I don't have a paypal account, but I hope to get one soon. Until then, I will accept cash and checks in the mail (allow extra time, usually 1 day, for checks to clear), or money transfers to my checking account at Bank of America (details on those can be gotten on request). When I get a PayPal account, i'll post a journal with the news thereof.

I'm also very flexible as far as prints, etc. For instance, I could scan an original into my computer, print it out on nice photo paper, and send both the print and the original to the commissioner for $0.50 per print. Other miscellaneous requests can be worked out when you request your commission.

I also do art trades, but as of right now I'm not taking requests, as the semester begins this Wednesday.

I also write! Writing is easy for me, so I'll write a story starring your character for free!

Contact me with commissions on IM: sarene87
Or email: sarene87[at]bellsouth.net (put "commission" in the subject line or I might think it's spam and delete it).

<3 you all!
