Hokay, so, last Journal I'd mentioned a financial snafu. Long story short, I'd gotten late-charged for a bill and overestimated savings to cover it in the midst of paying off some others. It was a dick move for the late charge, but I can't really contest it, so it fucked me over since I wasn't paying attention assuming that things were rolling properly.

It was my fault for overextending myself and assuming without looking at my history, and it's pretty rare that I blunder so big. I still have a sizable queue I'm still pushing through, and was gonna aim for the end of the month, but I can't summon a money golem for insta-cash to ward off the impending charges to an overdrawn account, so I'm biting the bullet and opening up some slots for Comic Commissions to cover the sizable cut, and gonna push so I can add cushion back to my account since I don't make much to compensate for random losses.

To even it out, gonna set a schedule up so that current and future commissioners (if this kicks off) will have something tangible to work off of with me, since I've been rather spotty. Also gonna be charging a bit for these, but putting down a plan below to ease the payments so it's fair on both ends.

Gonna be using a lot of bold and underlining to emphasize points below, really sorry in advance if this comes off as douchey and seemingly condescending, it's not the intention at all, just wanna make sure that I'm understood right!

Okay, so Schedule:

-The rest of this month (January), I'm finishing up the paints from the last couple of months and the comic layouts (which are about 2/3 done, currently). This will free me up for-

-The next month+ (February+) where I focus on and finalize the comic commissions, including some via livestream at night if people are interested in watching!

-The commissions I'm currently opening up for will be laid out at the beginning of the next month (February) alongside the ones being finished up. This might spill into March, depending on how fast I get these done.

Alright, and the Comic Commissions themselves:

Offering 4 slots/4 commissions for a 10 page, cel-shaded, 2 character comic with a painted cover for $500 each. Gonna go the route of taking half up-front ($250) and the other half after I've done the layout so that there's a little leverage and less stress on the situation like paying all up-front would cause. Also suggesting, since it's a 2 character comic, to go dutch on the commission with somebody you'd like to be paired up with; this would ease up the price, making it more affordable being split between two. Payment will be via PayPal.

As far as samples, it's a toughie; I've put out comics before, but, due to some recent studying and researching technique, the quality will be at a higher standard as I push the cel-shading aspect. My lines aren't uber-clean, but these will be a bit sharper than seen currently. Aiming for an animation-ish look, closest explanation would be a cross between my style and being influenced by Blizzard's Pearl of Pandaria - http://calebsawyer.com/wp-content/u.....page_029sm.jpg - for coloring style.

Priority will be the current queue, but putting the comics into the mix, they will be worked on aide the others, and should be fine when the layouts are agreed upon and finalized. Aiming for everything to be finished up in March, at the latest.

If you're interested, send a note and we'll discuss it there. I'm only taking on four, so when I meet that limit, I'll be closing this down, but I'll open up when I'm done with the current queue, if you like what I'll produce, make it a regular thing. I 'really' appreciate the help, guys, and thank you for being so patient with me!
