I've finally come to the conclusion that my life is not complete without some art-whoring, and I'd REALLY love to get my paws on some pics, especially for my mate. See, he's a tiny bit hesitant about the furry thing -- he plays along, but is ultimately just not sold on it -- but he's an artist himself and a certified kinkster to boot, so I suspicion that with a little nudge of some excellent artwork he'd be won over entirely by the fandom.

That and, well, I just loves me some furry art.

Anyway, at this particular moment funds are pretty dry, so I honestly don't know how many commissions I could afford; I can budget for them, to an extent, but I'd have to know in advance that it'd be well worth the effort so I'll be very choosy about who I commission once they start getting pricey.

But that doesn't stop my enthusiasm!

So, all you fellow art whores...tell me: who do you LOVE getting commissions from? Who's your favorite artist? Know anybody talented and cheap? Anybody just starting out, or in financial trouble, who's offering good deals? Know any contests going on? Any and all art hookups, send them my way.

In that vein, I would be DELIGHTED to do art trades; I don't have a huge representation of my furry art up, largely due to having a broken tablet and no art program, but where there's a will there's a way and I'd gladly figure out some way to get pics up for trades. I'd also be MORE THAN HAPPY to do art trades for original stories or poetry -- I could write character descriptions, steamy scenes, stories, etc. for art.

Anyway. That's my plea -- art whore!

PS
I swear I'll get a ref pic up for my mate soon. I've got about a dozen pics of him around the house but haven't been able to scan any of them. Sigh.
