Edit:
I'm sorry but I must officially say that I couldn't beat this challenge. Thanks to school combinated with work and one bigger set of commissions I'm trying to work at made situation at which I can't offer even these... I won't accept more commissions of this type. And I'm not sure about taking more commissions at this time to be honest - I really don't want to be unfair and wainting all the time is not nice. Only already taken slots are going to be finished, of course :)
I'm sure I'm going to try beat this challenge someday later - it looked as fun :] You can check my actual "to do list" here: http://samantha-dragon.porepublice.cz/art-list/ (color bullets means how far I'm with it). As you can see I have almost everything sketched - I can sketch at school and on my ways (haha, yeah, they are crappy :D) but I can't take watercolors to school XD Imagine that :D That's something I love about ACEOs - I can simply take it with me, grab and take some color pencils with me and work on it during breaks at school etc. The only thing I can do during school is probably replying to notes, comments and trade llamas...
Thank you for undestanding and for all your interest ^^




Hi,
so... since I'm quite slow with drawing (no matter if we talk about sketching, linearting or colouring) and I want to get better and learn how to be a bit quicker I'm going to open special type of commissions :] Or maybe trades or gifts, it depends on your interest :]


What is it about and why

I want to make myself work more and finish something often (I like that feeling when you finish something :3) than one or two ACEOs in a month... So I was playing with "Iron Artist Challenge" a bit and this is my version: My goal is going to be one finished picture per week for one year. It's not that much killing time (some people set the limit to one finished picture every day o.o) but it's not month (like I'm used to more now).
And to really make me finish it on time - it's going to be cheap commissions. They would be nice income to cover my bills on shipping ACEO trades at least :) I've already made a sketchbook with 60 sheets of paper (because of weeks in a year). It's almost A5 sized - that's second challenge for me because I'm used to sketch to A6 notepad only ^^;


How does it work

Each page cost $5 USD (to my PayPal before I start).
It's going to be traditional, mixed media, mixed styles and mixed types (fullbody, half body, portrait, set of details; portrait or landscape).
Each week I offer page which belongs to the next week - on Monday I should have payment and references. If there will be too much people interested, each page is going to be sold in auciton. If there won't be enough people interested I will use it for drawing (not only) birthday gifts, simple trades or fan art.
You can give me references of anything you want to see by me - any species, any gender, humans, anthros, soft mature, ferals, machines, nature... anything :) But - it's on your own risc - no refunding. As always, artist has right to decline your request.
If you want me to ship the original to you, I'm open to it - you just going to need send me more cash for shipping - ask please. For $5 USD (so basic prize) you will get good scan.
This offer will be shared between dA and FA.
