Two Things~

1. Inspired by
brock-omeles, I'm making my 'commission status terms' less vague.
I don't want anyone to get the impression that I just sit around eating bon-bons between bouts of actual arting. :U
So in addition to the terms I'm already using on my header page, I'm starting to use 2 new terms.
One is "Pre-production"- meaning, I'm planning the picture in my head.
This bit is the toughest for me, btw.
I rely on visual refs for 90% of what I do because I can't draw what's in my head.
So it's a question of finding the right ref, and then figuring out how to use it or adapt it.
The other is "posing". That's for when I actually begin to put the pencil to paper and rough out the poses.
This is the 2nd hardest for me.
Both phases are hard for me simply because of the amount of uncertainty involved.
In fact, sometimes I don't like drawing so much as "having drawn". >.<
Anyway, just wanted to address that.
2. My checking account's running dangerously low til I get paid later this weel. ^^;
Anyone want a Valentine's Day commission?
VDay is days away, so obviously this will be a quick one.
First come first served, obviously.

I have this problem, too, in a sense; I'm so impatient for results that I have a hard time finding motivation for doing it in the first place because I'm too busy daydreaming about what it *will* (or rather, *might*) look like when it's done. It applies to more than just art for me, too; I've already been in a couple semi-intense discussions on IRC about it, and it's harder than it seems to take someone else's advice, especially as it pertains to finding motivation for pursuing one's personal endeavors. >.<
If it helps I can describe what I envision on my commission with you. My ideas are hard to find visual references but I can always look around. Besides, some of my ideas come from real world pictures.
