Free / "Pay What You Want" Sketch Icons ~ Please Read~
13 years ago
Might as well post this, see if I get any takers.
To start with a note: even if you don't want anything/don't feel like my art is good enough, if you know of somebody who might, pass this journal onto them. I could use the help in advertising myself.
To start: I know my art isn't very good. I really don't get the chance to practice as much as I wish I could, and even when I do, I feel as if nothing I tend to do helps it improve in the slightest. But here goes.
If you want to skip the explanatory speech, skip to the bolded sentence.
School is quite financially draining. Admittedly, my schooling is completely paid for, due to bursaries and the such, but my intentions when coming to school (wait a month or two and then find a part time job) were derailed when I realized how difficult school actually was. I barely have time for personal stuff and homework, let alone actual work. As such, my bank account, save some money I can't touch because it is required for the beginning of school next year to pay for books, etc, is quite dry. The time is coming up where I usually start pooling my money together in preparation for my one convention of the year: Fan Expo Canada in August. Usually this doesn't require much pooling, as I've worn the same costume every year for the past 3 years. However, it's falling apart. I would like to raise money so that I can go buy fabric and other things towards a new costume, and so that I can actually do stuff (like go to the movies with friends) between now and my birthday in June. Soooooooo . . .
I'm offering a "Pay What You Want" Sketch Icon. Basically, it simmers down to this: Post in this journal using the following template:
References:
Species:
Emotion/Theme:
Comments:
I will, in the order that they come in (save certain circumstances, such as getting stuck on an unusual species and taking a short break to work on an easier species to get back into the groove), take these templates and sketch an icon for you. Whether you end up deciding you like it enough to pay any amount for it or not, the icon is yours. It will help me get practice, and should anybody like their icons enough to pay money for it, even a dollar or two, it's a bonus.
Basically, if you don't want to pay, or you don't have any money, like me, it's basically a free icon for you.
If you don't want me to post a link on your profile/reply here and you want the icons sent to your email, feel free to drop it to me via Note.
Should you like your icon enough, I accept payment through paypal: database113[at]hotmail.com
In the comments section, please put your FA username so I know who it came from.
Also note: I've never been on the receiving end of paypal before, so I have no idea what to tell you to do.
Now, I guess I should say that in terms of icons, you have two options:
1) You can get just a plain black and white icon, such as this:
Plain
2) You can get one shaded, such as these:
Shaded Otter
Shaded Lion
Upon completion, I will send you, via link or email, both a full sized icon (tends to be about 350-400x350-400, as well as a shrunken 100x100. Feel free to do what you wish with them after you have them. Put them into photoshop to touch them up, colour them, make them have a invisible background, do as you wish once they are in your possession. All I request is that you acknowledge where you received the original.
More icons will come as I draw more examples/do any that somebody should request.
Three more final notes before I end this journal and HOPE people respond:
1) All icons will be PG or PG13, and headshots only. You may link to references of any rating, but the icons themselves will not be mature/adult.
2) PLEASE nothing too complicated. I'm still not the best at accessories/complicated facial expressions/ hairstyles, as evidenced by the examples. I will try to do what you request, no matter how complicated, but I can't guarantee anything.
3) Technically, I'm also offering short story commissions. Again, in a pay what you want style. Just give me character references, a short theme/synopsis of what you would like. I'm a bit more lenient in terms of maturity level on stories, my short story "The Auction" being the upper limit on what I will write. I reserve the right to say no to any theme that I do not believe I will be able to write about.
