So I'm in a weird predicament.

Due to THIS MONSTROSITY ( http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14162411/ ) I am in a hugely sour financial pickle.

You see, I have been working on this picture for the last month. There were like a dozen deadlines in it that came and went, and try as I might, I could not get it done in anything resembling faster than a glacier's pace. I took numerous days off work from my real job to try and get it done, even paying from my own pocket for last week's cab lease. Then there was AC and that didn't help, because I hadn't made enough money to prepare for that, then rent was due and BOOM, there went my savings.

Now rent is due again, AND I owe another weekly cab lease. All my regular airport customers have not been flying and it's been hella slow lately, so when I AM out I'm not getting anything. 14 hrs got me about $100, and I spent $70 on gas.

So here I am in a weird place. I have no savings to fall back on, I need $240 more to lease and $270 more to rent, plus my credit card bill ($120) is due on the 6th. Everything is due all at once, and sadly the payment from the book cover is not nearly enough.

So I'm opening up for EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS. My financial woes are your possible artistic gain!

These commissions, it should be mentioned first and foremost, are TRADITIONAL MEDIA!!! This is so I don't have to take time off work to be home coloring on the computer. All of these commissions will be done in my cab while I wait for runs (hopefully optimizing my earning potential... Oh, fancy! I like that. ^^)

These will also be done FAST!!! So don't expect the kind of perfectionist quality like what is in the big book cover because taking so long on these kinda defeats the purpose. Plus I NEED to get faster and I NEED to stop being so perfectionist/OCD with every line and detail. That's the reason I'm in the jam I'm in...

The options you have for commissions are as follows:

One character:
Sketch - $20
Ink - $30
Flat color - $40
Shading - $50

Two characters or more - Ask (but don't expect a lot of multi-char discounts)

Time taken - aiming for 2 weeks or less. These will be done IMMEDIATELY upon receipt of payment. I am sitting in a cab bored on a Sunday morning. I have time. :P

Who will I draw? YOUR character, MY character, COPYRIGHT characters, SOMEONE ELSE'S character (but you should ask them first). No limit on that! :)

Sexy/Fetish? - I'm not really looking to get too crazy here, plus anything I have to draw that I haven't drawn before will take additional time I don't have. Will draw nudity and may ATTEMPT regular porn, but nothing crazy. If you're curious, ask.

PayPal is jtigerclaw[at]gmail.com - Please don't send payment until your request has been accepted in writing (unless you're just donating, then BLESS YOU!)

Examples? Uh... Hard to say. I haven't done each of these tiers. But how about...

sketch- http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9317830/
Ink - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3561792/ (quality will be more basic/fast than this)
Flat - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3219268/ (but with marker)
Shade - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4268201/ (cell shade, also w/ marker).

Wondering if I can even DO traditional media?! I present you http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2393374/

Want it shipped? I can do that. I only charge price of a shipping envelope and postage. Hell, I'll laminate it if you ask nicely! ;)

Anything you can offer is appreciated, even if it's just spreading the word.

Rough goal is like $500. Since there's no way I'm getting that, let's shoot for $200. I will also be working my normal job in the meantime. And while there are NO ACTUAL DEADLINES (so no taking off work) I will get them done ASAP. And I will be going through these relative fast, comparable to an Iron Artist sort of thing (except I only charged $10 for things like THIS in my last Iron Artist, and that's not happening again. :P)

Thank you all for anything! It is appreciated! ^^
