I'm certainly you'll get comissions if you offer them.

Hell, seen  h0rse's stuff? He gets plenty of comissions.

Yeah I've seen his stuff. I don't know how to use flash, so I couldn't really make "games" like he does but I suppose good old videos would be good too. :S

He basically just animates different clips and imports them to the Flash library. Then a very simple Flash function is used to change between them. If you feel like making such a "game"/slideshow you wouldn't need any programming experience at all, I'd say.

To answer your main question: I like what you art/animations you make, it's all of very high quality. I would like to commission you, but as with a lot of other artists, I can't because of money issues. :/
You'll be high on my list if I ever get around to commissioning someone, though.

If I were to commission you, I'd go for at least a loop animation. Awesome 3D models are kind of wasted on still frames, I think. Longer films make me happy just thinking about them, but I can only imagine the time, work and money needed to be spent on true quality. But as said, if I had the money...

Yeah, but there's still some skill needed. I should really find out how that stuff works but I just don't have enough time >_< Short loops should be quite affordable, even more so if I could use my existing models. :) Making custom characters if rather tedious task so that would obviously be more expensive.

Well, I really like your current models, so at least you wouldn't have to rig whole new skeletons or anything.

About Flash: Trust me, I'm working with Flash in school, and it took me only a few hours to get the hang of it. :)

I know a sufficient amount to walk you through to the point where you can do what Horse does flashwise. Heck, I could program it myself if you really want to.

Well, some kind of step by step tutorial would be good if you want to make one. :)

OK, I'll see about making a tutorial. Probably even a flash slideshow, upload it to my page, then send you a message when it's done.

Yes, depending on price.

Some of my characters.

Probably stills at first.

I would if and when you open them Along with if i have money. Er...

I would go towards custom chars with around long length. im guessing this would cost like $100 or something like that, no?

But depending on price, i could ask anything from you, if you was to open. :)

<if that made any sence...>

Well, long animation with custom characters would be more expensive than 100$. After all, depending on how complex the characters are it would take me at least a week/character to model and texture. Also probably a week or more to rig them. Then I'd have to model the scene which will take anything from few mins to few days. Oh and then I would have to animate them. That would take anything from week to month. + rendering which may take hours-weeks.

So, that's easily few months of work.

right.... more than $200 even?, as stills i guess to be $50?

and another thing, you could put up commissions for just a character model for people to animate them selfs/ give to someone else? just an idea i had.

i bet over the holidays are when it might open? 8D
[last massages was posted from a DSi, lol]

oh which makes me wonder, whats the stats on the current thing your working on?

Well, I don't have any idea on when I can start taking commissions. We'll see. Long (~minute or so) animation with 2 custom made characters would be over 200. I haven't thought much about prices yet though. Even still pic might be quite expensive since making a model is a lot bigger job than drawing a "normal" pic. Huge projects, like Spyro and Cynder project and Rat & Gnolls would be probably closer to 10000$ (no, there's no extra 0 there. O_O ) So, basically nobody will order that kind of stuff.

One could, of course, commission a 2d pic. That would be quite cheap since I'm not too good at that. :P

I haven't had time to work on my projects for few months now, so not much progress with them. I should get back to them soon.

I would leap on the chance, if I had the money. Who knows? theres always the chance to revive the old pokemon ones. those are great...

Pokemon stuff would probably be cheaper than other stuff since generally they are simple to model and rig. Generally.

Ah, yes. Of course you realise, i would, along with alot of others here, would pay to see your flygon/lat sucking one get finished.

*plots evilly*

hehe :)

If I had money, maybe.

You are a very good animator, so I would definitely say that people who can afford will commission you.

I'd commission you to finish the Spyro and Cynder anim!

Don't waste your money. I'll finish it for free eventually. :P

How is the Spyro and Cynder Animation comming along anyway?

(Silent SpyroxCynder Fan )

No progress in few months now. Hopefully I'll find time for that soon.

I would love to commission, your animations are legendary!

That's nice to hear. :)

I just realized that I had double posted this journal. Deleted the other one. Sorry everyone who commented on that other journal.

Stick with stills :D


You already know rigging and animating this stuff takes 2N+1 Days ( where N is some ridiculous number ) to complete. Many folks might actually be interested in a full 3D representation of their avatars. Bad enough to rig it just to pose the final piece ( assuming you're not going to use Z transpose to do it ) but building a full IK rig is an artform in and of itself.

Careful though, you might get an overwhelming response :D

Dragon raping Rat? Hehe

I would like to see an animated version of Picasso's "Guernica".

Looks interesting xD How much wuold be just to prepare a 3D model without animation?

I mean a model ready to be used in animation ^^

Well, haven't thought much about prices yet. The tools I use for rigging aren't very common, so quite few people could actually do anything with model rigged by me. They aren't compatible with poser or similar softwares.

i will yup but we need exemple of what you :3 and depend of price too

Well, my gallery has some examples. :) But yeah, when/if I start taking commissions I put together some sort of price list. Dunno about prices yet. Probably quite expensive. It's not easy to give strict prices since work involved changes a lot depending on characters and things they do, etc.

of course :3
