I'm up shite creek!

If you want to skip the starving artist sob story, skip down through to the ** and you'll arrive at the start of the cheap commissions information.

My computer has been dying for months, as some of you, particularly the Ychat regulars, will know. Well, today, it finally packed up. I'm not totally clueless about computer hardware, and though I'm far from the best expert, I know it is now beyond repair. Here's a shot of the brain surgery I've been doing to try to revive it [link] but truly, it's permadead.

Now, I said it's been dying for months, and I haven't been doing nothing about it, I'm in the process of building a new computer. It's quite a long way off being finished, though. [link] As you can see, it's a bit empty. I have more parts on order, already paid for. The computer I'm using at the moment is borrowed, and I wont be able to use it for long. No computer means no newspaper articles, which means no job, then no money, and no computer. So I need to get as much money as I can as fast as I can, to try to get back online before I hit these barriers.

So, I'm selling art originals. I'm not going to bother too much with furry/yiffy stuff, when there are hundreds of other artists doing furry commissions for $20 or so, it's not the best use of my time. So I'm offering what I do best; cars.

I had planned to post a journal about this next Friday, and I did a lot of leg-work on what other car artists are charging, for commissions and for originals. All this legwork and information is on my computer, so sadly it's all locked away on a hard drive for now. But some of it is still in mind, like the fact that you can pay anything up to $6000 for a high quality custom drawing of your car. This is for the original, not just a scan and e-mail, but for the actual piece, through the mail, that you can put on your wall, and that's what I'm offering here. But obviously, I'm not going to charge $6000, it's unjustifiable, particularly since I only need about $2000.


So I'm offering them at:

$145 pencil
$215 colour
$275 huge pencil
$355 huge colour

though they may be more or less depending on complexity, background, additional characters, etc.


You'll get a high-quality scan, and then as quickly as the mail will allow, the original piece, on paper, that you can put on your wall. They do look good, I've actually framed and mounted this one in my kitchen.

If you're unable to afford one at the moment, but this is the kind of thing you know some people might be interested in, then please spread the word. If you're a member on a car-related internet forum, start up a new thread and whore me out. If you can refer me some customers, I'll do yours for free.

Thank you so much for reading.
