Thanks for putting up with an emo moment
18 years ago
I have them too, it happens.
To clarify, now that it isn't 4 AM, I never in a million years expected the whole world to come flocking. I'm a very business-minded person, and I'm not thick enough to think that I'm any different than any other third-rate artist here. My honest estimate? That I would come home to 5 sold, probably between 2 people. After the charity donations I figured I could put that toward 20 more prints and I'd be not far off from the small stock I wanted to bring to MFF, and the ones that sold would be the ones I'd bring a few more of since they would be the ones with the most interest. I already dumped what to me was a small fortune into the test runs, and I'd told my self I wouldn't buy any more as stock unless it financed itself. I know it doesn't sound like buying a few prints at cost to see how they go would be a huge dent in anyone's pocket, especially at cost, but unfortunately we're one of those families where every penny counts so I have to be careful, and I recently made a big purchase that I shouldn't have so things are tighter still. (I should have, but I shouldn't have.)
So that's where all that came from. To those who had kind words of support, thanks for being there, and especially to Dineegla who tried so hard and was there on the phone with me this evening. Though I don't know how long I'll bother keeping a print listing up - I'll try it out on my site when I get a chance to update it but if it doesn't do anything it's just not worth the time for me - it's hard to keep this lion down for long. I'm sure something will come up.

Nobody bought a single CD.
Depressing much? You bet. Same deal happened when I did prints of Carpe Diem. Nobody bought a single one online.
I feel your pain, kiddo.

You know I'd give you the world if I could. My heart just went out to you yesterday, and I wish I had the wherewithall to help. *hugs*

I should buy two of a few, I know a few peices would make my in-the-close-furry drool (nooo not the smex ones) XD I should, he hasn't come running to me with a print out of his new favorite picture in a good while...
XD I bet I could get him to run around with one of yours!
o.O is there an easy way to buy 1 of each? XD I want a 10% discount for buying them almost all of them twice over XD
I so want artists to be able to make money off their work online. But the chan boards always seem to be a step ahead, posting for free whatever one tries to sell. I have given many hundreds of dollars to support anthro arts. But I have been burned before while trying to help artists too, so I have some conflicting feelings.
I would love to buy a couple of prints or so from you. One piece in particular really did something for me and a couple copies of it would be nice. While I do enjoy the pic, I have other reasons for wanting prints though. Never having seen a print before, I need to see what the quality is like etc., so I can decide if I want to make prints of what few paintings I have done someday. Not so much for sale as for the hell of it. And I don't want to do business with Deviant Art for that purpose on general principle. Their print system is kind of creepy. (Give us nearly all your profits, and we will automate the print service for you.)
I will PM with my request later tonight or tomorrow. You will find I am very prompt about payment and such by whatever means, though an online payment option like paypal would certainly be nice.
And, you're definitely no 3rd rate artist. But then take that for what It's
worth, considering It's coming from a 7th rate artist (on my best day). lol
Anyways, glad it panned out better in the end.
Happens often.
Well general artwork probably is the best seller as most people are young and or live with their folks even if they (eyes sink deep into his skull) aren't super young anymore. =(
Ah.... to be in public school, attending class drunk again.....
The days when i'd drop kick safety class (break proof glass that had wires through it) doors open, yea` know these ones.... well guess what happened one day.
*hoof*shatering noise* me just doing the karate stretching pose for the high kick in where the glass used to be.... shocked that "Unbreakable safety glass that had wires through it, could actually break" LMAO
Ah well... then while at the office waiting on a bench for the dumbass to call my parents to tell them what an idiot i am, i was swinging my legs on this wooden bench which naturally i graffettied "Ler all over" for ages..... *cracking/snap noise* i broke some support break under it.... lmao
oh yes.... for these days, when you'd right what "Fuck meant" 9000 times out of a dictionary.... out of all the shit i wrote out of the dictionary i should be a mastermind at english.....
But alass, i am not.
LoL.
I'd buy a print of that drawing ya drew me, or the one with the stars flying all over the place.... of ya bro, and tensik.
But i can't afford to get custom frames at the moment, and i like wall size prints, but (these are considered special prints) to everyone that does prints, and so i'd just ask you when the time is right to do so.
Rather than, cause a shitload of trouble.
B/c i seriously cannot afford it.
Gotta get some road experience in for my 13 in car lessons, gotta work full time Midnight - 7:15am.... bah.
EXHAUSTED. that's like 6days a week btw. =)
But yeah... experimental runs and shit probably would cost alot, never had shit all done other then small photographs. From a print place but that not even print place it like wallmart photoshop.....
Ha that'd be funny.... me sketch out something on a sketch pad, and get it printed after i crayon it to a waxy fatality.
LMAO
Sorry... but yeah, i'm sure certain things would print differently.
Good luck at the fur convention.
