I know I've been dragging my feet and talking about offering sketch commissions now for months, but I've run into a situation that I now have to do something to help contribute to my family's finances, and getting a regular job just isn't an option for me-my classes that start the end of August are going to be way too intense to even think about working as well, and I know from experience that I can't handle the stresses of school, work, and running a house-it does bad things to my physical and mental health...

But any way-I've had several major surprises arise the past few weeks that has resulted in us having to severely deplete our emergency funds-we no longer have money to fix the perimeter of our house to keep the basement from flooding, and I just recently discovered that my stupid school did not allow me any grants or scholarships as they usually do-I'm going to have to depend on student loans, which I already have too much of...

So as a goal to aim for, I need to come up with $1000. Am I looking to make it all from sketches before the end of summer? No, most likely not, but I work better when I have a semi-long term goal in mind

An immediate goal is to raise ~$300 so I can purchase my college textbooks online, used so I can avoid the outrageous prices of the bookstore and I really need to do some studying over the summer to prepare for one of the classes so I can be ahead of the game...

So, I'm going to be offering some cheap sketch commissions and eventually some adoptables to help raise the funds toward this goal...

For $10 PER CHARACTER, I can also do proper line art-this takes me a bit longer, thus the higher cost:

I can also Flat Color (extra on top of base price) any sketch for $5-10 TOTAL, depending on the number of characters/complexity

The Details

**I DO NOT DRAW PORN OR M/M-F/F SUGGESTIVE IMAGES**
Sorry, but I don't. I CAN draw suggestive stuff like this example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13057972/ but that's as suggestive as it gets from me. Tasteful nudity is ok too, but I'm not comfortable drawing male or female genitalia-please don't ask...

**I do not have the ability to do shading at the moment-I lost all my photoshop brushes and settings and practically need to reteach myself to shade-don't have time or energy to do that right now

**I need GOOD, CLEAR references! That goes for clothing as well! I'm trying to broaden my skills with these as well as meet my financial goals, but that can't happen if I'm spending too much time trying to figure out what/how to draw something requested-It is best if there is some kind of VISUAL reference for anything requested, even if its a photograph...

**I will try to draw ANY type of character, male or female. However, I'm not good with wings-I'll try them, but I cannot guarantee the results will be up to par-but I can try, at least once...

**NO EXTRA LIMBS! Sorry...but I just cannot do such characters justice and I fear to try would only kill my muse...

**Also, I would really appreciate it if you could be as detailed as possible about the pose/expression you would like-I don't want artistic freedom, lol-tell me what you want!

********************************

Well, I think that's everything-if you have questions that I've not addressed, please feel free to note me!

So I guess a form is in order?

Type (brush sketch, pencil sketch, line art):
Number of characters (Max 3):
Flat Color (Y/N):
Character References:
Pose/Expression:
Other Refs/Details:
Email for Invoice:

Sending the form via note would be best...

**I DO NOT expect payment up front-I will send a note with a rough sketch of an idea before requiring payment-That way, I don't take money then something happen and I can't deliver-if I've already got a rough sketch, then I know I'll finish an image...

Right now, there is no limit to the number of sketches I'll take on, as I'm not sure how many will be interested...If you guys surprise me, then I'll have to make a cut-off

I want to thank you all for giving me a chance and I hope I'll be able to at least earn enough to buy my school books-I'll sketch till my fingers fall off if I have to!

And I hope to have adoptables done within a week or two...so keep a watch out!
