█ Today I tried to get back into the art mood, but I found myself just sighing in frustration mostly. I'd probably be less frustrated if I was able to go "I can't work with what you're giving me, I'm skipping you and doing something else" but that makes me feel like a jerk; so I end up spending an inordinate amount of time trying to squeeze what I need out of people. It just kills my motivation to have to send note after note asking what someone wants, only to get back extremely vague notions of what they want to see. I'm a detail orientated person, I need well-thought out and detailed descriptions of whats to be drawn.
I hate improvising. I hate being told to do 'whatever you want'. I hate being told 'or this'. I hate being told 'maybe this'.
I also hate being told 'do what you like', because the point of me drawing is make what someone else likes so long as it's inside my comfort zone.
If you want me to draw something, then know what you want drawn. "I want Endy art" is not enough, and it's aggravating when that's all that's brought to the table.
█ With that venting out of the way I'm making this as a new commission line journal. The previous line is intact and will be posted at the end of this journal. The wait is probably a month long currently.
So here are the steps/rules for this commission journal:
- I try to work for $10-15 an hour.
- Single commissions take about 2-4 hours to do (depending on complexity, misc details). So if it takes me 2 hours the price range is $20-30, if it takes me 4 hours, the price range will be $40-60. Though this is a suggested range, as I always leave it up to the individual to pay whatever they think the effort was worth (be it within, less, or more than the range).
- Comic / animation commissions are a bit trickier to estimate the cost to end up being, the best guideline I can offer to that regards is that it takes roughly an hour to draw in a body for comic/sequence work. It's a bit faster than single commissions per body as I put a bit less attention to detail and form in a comic than I would a single image, and I'm a bit less fickle about making every body drawn in a comic/sequence 'perfect.' So drawing 10 bodies worth in a comic would probably around $100-150 worth of work as an example. (Might take less or more time depending on details and the like). In any event I do my best to keep track of the time it takes to assemble it together (I don't count my breaks towards the total time, cause that would just be silly).
- If you want a commission (and you're not part of the existing list) leave a reply in this journal giving a rough outline/theme of what you want drawn.
- When you get a note from me asking if you're interested, I will expect a reply within 2-3 days. If it's an idea/theme I don't want to do, you'll be able to note me a different idea/theme.
- When you note me back I expect a detailed description of what you want, as well as references. If it's a comic I want to know what you want seen in each panel. If it's an animation of some sort, I want to know what kind of animations should be included.
- If it's a big project, include an upper limit of what you want to spend so I can think on the budget and craft an appropriate reply back.
- Please only request a commission once a journal.

And while I'm here, could I grab two more comic pages please (separate scenes but same theme)? :P. They follow on from that previous series but they are much simpler!
1: 2 panel comic showing pup Zenon being rewarded by resting in a comfy dog bed and him punished by being locked in a cage with nasty things being done to him!
2: Short sequence where pup Zenon catches a ball that turns into a harnessed ball-gag.
I am going to my first Kink Club this weekend , and I will be debuting my Rubber Dog/ Fox gear at the con for the first time. I am sorta nervous. <^.^'>
Ok picture this. It's something like the previous comic you did for me, only in this case it's not Spider-Ants let alone Ants. This time It's SNAKES. Snakes that change victims into Lamias in order to...repopulate the area. I have the idea written down if you are interested in looking at it. :D
Victoria and Rinah being egg incubators for the Spider-Ants.
Endium and Dr. Jasper standing by four latex encased figures. You can look inside them to see which girl is inside the figure.
my ref : http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12683138/
Also, can you give or link me an example of what you wanted done?
Not quite enough information for me to have an idea of what you want.
If I'm hopefully not to late to be in line, otherwise I'll wait for the next commission journal and pester you there ^^;
Thank you XD
