Doing commissions to raise money for a digital art tablet
12 years ago
My seasonal part-time job at Toys-R-Us has been working out really good for me lately. I'm now mostly nocturnal as a result of it since I usually work from 10pm-6am a few days a week. With Christmas coming up, I've set my sights on getting a digital tablet this year! I hoping to purchase a large-size Intuos Pro (see here: https://store.wacom.com/us/en/product/PTH851? ) for $500 but after I did some math in regards to my pay and deducted my expenses, I'm only going to have around $350 to spare by the end of the month. I'm going to be doing a special commission run in hopes of raising the extra $150 I still need.
Prices are simple: $5 for a sketch and $10 for colored. Paypal works fine for me and since I love letters, I will accept payment even by mail and to anyone who opts for old-fashioned postal service, I'll send you a Christmas card in return (art too if you'd like me to send it to you as well).
I'll be having the majority of next week off so I should have plenty of time to work on art. I'd greatly appreciate any help towards meeting this goal. Spreading the word too would also be much appreciated.
One thing I am wanting to try out with a tablet is doing Demordicai Diamonds comic pages digitally. I do intend to finish Chapter 2 traditionally as I have been but if having a tablet works out well and allows me to do comic work faster and more efficiently (I wish my pencils had a ctrl-z function!) then I will probably switch mediums with Chapter 3. I'm thinking that I may do a few little mini-comics to get used to working with a tablet before I ever begin work on Chapter 3 digitally.
Strangely enough, I don't really have all that much family drama going on to complain about besides being woke up during my much needed afternoon nap or getting constantly called by my mom and my sister. Maybe it's because I'm now working or sleeping that I don't interact as much with my family and hence less drama and bullshit or maybe it's simply that working at Toys-R-Us and earning a paycheck has put me in a better mood than usual so I don't really register my family's antics as much.
In other news, I will more than likely be attending a convention next year as an exhibitor. It's a local one called River City Comic Con (see here: http://mkeaston.com/rivercity/ ). It's a fairly new convention that popped up locally and I've decided that when it comes around again next summer, I'll be attending. It's still months away but if you'll be in the southeastern Ohio area this coming summer, be sure to stop by and say hi!
Lol, it's so weird doing a short journal but it's nice not having a lot of negative things to vent about for once. Maybe next journal I'll go into a more lengthy discussion on my plans with Demordicai Diamonds.
