Found this really great thing on Facebook and I recommend checking it out: https://stacksocial.com/sales/the-n.....design-bundle#

I've already looked at the "Get Schooled: Professional Video Game Art School" lessons. I'm up to lesson 25 and I'm quite pleased with the quality. I went to school for Game Design and I'm already learning things through these basic videos that I didn't learn in school (It wasn't a very good school, but still)... Considering that this is PWYW, I think it's an incredible opportunity for those looking to get into learning modelling, texturing, rigging or game development.

I'm no expert, and still learning myself, but from what I can tell, this one course can be very useful for those who don't have the time, money or opportunity to attend a "real" school, or those who just have a casual interest. I'm looking forward to checking out the other 3. Please do take a look!

EDIT: I should mention that these courses can be done at your pace and you have lifetime access! That part is important for me, as I am not good at completing something within a time frame. No constraints here!
EDIT2: If you're not interested, there's no need to comment???? Thanks :U

UPDATE: Canceled until further notice. All slot holders have been noted.

Please read the journal thoroughly before submitting your form. Many questions are already answered here. Read it twice! Then again! And thanks to everyone lining up so far <3

My dad and my brother currently work for my husband because we really needed the help. I wish we could afford to pay them better, but we've got more money going out than coming in. By the time our money will turn around and start coming back in, they wont be working for us anymore (brother has college plans next year). I really want to give them a Christmas bonus from my own personal money, as well as ensure I've got enough money to continue to pay my school loan payments each month. I've decided to try an Iron Artist style commission set up, with an intended completion date of late December of this year.

NOTE: This is NOT going to affect the rate at which I'm working on my other commissions. Please see my queue (linked above) for updates. I update it as I make progress and I make note of what has been worked on since the last update. Very informative! These slots will not be updated in my queue, as there are going to be a lot, assuming there's interest, and each sketch will most likely be finished in one sitting.

Who: 100 slots, one character per sketch. No more than 5 slots per person.

What: One character refined sketch (it's almost clean lineart) pinup, with black and white simple markings, details or shading.

Price: $25; You will pay after completion of the sketch, NOT before. Patrons get a discounted price of $23 instead of $25.

When: I don't know. I plan to have one done a day, but I cannot guarantee when your specific drawing will be completed. Therefore, try to avoid holiday/special occasion specific themes please. These will be done around my current queue. With the one a day goal in mind, these will not extend into 2015. I will either complete all of the slots before then, or cancel any remaining slots if the remaining slots exceeds 5.

Final notes: If I become too overwhelmed or occupied with other things in my life, I may have to cancel any slots that were not started on. Payment will be collected upon completion of the sketch to make this simple. Please budget accordingly so that you can pay when your sketch is completed. If financial issues arise and you cannot pay, I will hold the sketch for a limited amount of time, and once that time passes and you still cannot pay, I will re-purpose the sketch as a YCH base.

How: First, read my ToS to find out what I will not draw. Then fill out the following form to apply for a slot.
Ref:
Species: (if not obvious/listed)
Pose/Theme: Please use up to 5 keywords for me to choose from (I may mix and match keywords. Please specify if you don't want me to do so. EX: You say coffee and teddy bears, I might draw your character cuddling a teddy bear and drinking coffee. If you absolutely do not want the two happening at the same time, specify!)
Rating: G, M, A (see ToS for rating info)
Paypal: Email address, so I may bill you. If you do not want to share this info, put "note me" and I will ask for the address at the time the sketch is completed. Please do NOT preemptively note your PP address to me. It will get lost.

Thanks :)

PAYMENT: Paypal, upon slot confirmation

Skip this first paragraph if you only care about the art part. I need to get back into the swing of art and I think fresh, new commissions will help. If I owe you art, don't worry! I will be making progress on older owed stuff. You are not forgotten. However, my finances are a wreck right now. I'm not in any danger of starving at all, so it's not an emergency, but we're spending more money than we're making (using our savings) and my dental bills have unexpectedly doubled (which, for those who don't know, we're valued at $5K originally, so, that's a huge deal). :( I feel really bad about it so I really want to get back to paying Jason back ASAP.

Anywho, I figured I'd try with something easy for me. Loose, fun and quick. I decided on sketches. I say "Surprise" because I'm not giving any examples, and your sketch may vary from another persons sketch. I will play with whatever I feel like doing at that exact moment. Maybe you'll get a softer sketch with some basic soft airbrush shading, or you'll get a refined sketch, no shading, or maybe you'll get a rough sketch with cross hatching, who knows!? No one yet.

Feeling adventurous? Comment below with the following form:

Ref(s): Please limit to 3 images
Theme: One to 3 words that I can choose from to base your sketch on. Halloween is coming up~ Example keywords could be "lingerie" "trick-or-treat" "relaxation" "nature"
Rating: General, mature or adult?

These will not be first come first served. I will review the comments and reply if your slot is accepted. If I accept someone before you, no worries! I may still accept yours at a later time. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood to draw that theme one day, but later I am! NOTE: If you're no longer interested and you haven't been selected, please hide your comment! Thanks :) Payment is expected once your slot is confirmed and delivery of the sketch will be anywhere from 1 day to a week after payment.

Trying to make this active: https://www.weasyl.com/~ajna

It will have the same content as my FA, so the only real advantage is if you prefer Weasyl, plan to move to Weasyl for good, or.. idk. Like following people on multiple websites :P

(Ranty parts in parentheses. Sorry, not sorry, but still kinda sorry.)

I am almost certain that my tablet is finally dead. I will contact everyone I owe art to individually if that turns out to be the case. I have another tablet, it's just in storage and will require me to reorganize my whole desk area to set up so there will be delays, but it's not the end of the world as far as your art goes. If the tablet really is dead, my art is still safe. I save it all to Dropbox, which I have synced to my desktop.
This will be long, but PLEASE read this if you plan on getting a Cintiq Companion. The most important note and reason I'm writing this is at the very bottom.

(A little note here, for those of you who like to read about troubles people have and downplay them as if they're insignificant, 2048 levels IS a big deal. Just because you can't tell the difference between that and your 256 levels on your iPad, it doesn't mean that others can't either. I've used MANY tablet laptops, slate tablets, and USB tablets and I assure you there is a huge difference and it matters to ME. Maybe not to you, but if that's the case, then you really shouldn't be buying a tablet like this to begin with. I was fully aware that this is an expensive product but I wanted it because it's what I need to be happy with my art. I can't make art to my quality standards on an iPad. If you can, congrats on your accomplishments but you are not me and this is about my experience, not yours. Please respect that. Sorry for my bitterness. I'm just really tired of people hearing that I'm having trouble with something high quality and people respond with things like "LOL you should've just gotten this vastly inferior product, it's pretty much exactly the same!")

The Cintiq Companion was everything I ever wanted in a tablet. Portable and light weight (compared to my 80lb 24HD), amazing pressure sensitivity (2048 levels), SSD, plenty of ram for my drawing needs, i7 processor, charger is modest in size, 1920 x 1080 resolution and has shortcut buttons on the side. The feel of drawing on it is amazing. It only compares to my 24HD. I've never used another Cintiq, so I dont know how it compares to that, but it feels so much better than any regular tablet or tablet laptop I've ever used. Unfortunately, it's the best and worst tablet I've ever owned.

Here are my nitpicks, big and small:

~This is a known issue for past Wacom products but it was not an issue on the Cintiq 24HD so I assumed it was fixed with all later models of Cintiq. How very wrong I was. There is about half an inch border around the entire screen where the pen is inaccurate and acts strange. It's frustrating if you like to have your windows maximized, as you cannot easily minimize, close, move, resize, etc without there being a headache. If you hover the pen over the "x" to close a window, it will line up. However, as you get closer to the screen, the cursor veers off to the edge of the screen. It's incredibly frustrating when you're trying to line something up, resize programs, etc. On a 13" display, you don't have a ton of room, even at 1920x1080, so it's unfortunate that I can't use the very edges as accurately as I'd like.

~It gets VERY hot if you like to put it on your lap, like I do. The vents are at the top, right where my knees sit, so it spews hot air onto my skin. This can be avoided by using the stand as a buffer between my legs and tablet, but it doesn't attach well (or I suck at it) so I've only done it a couple of times. You can also probably set it on a desk or something, but I never do that. If your personal preference is to have your tablet on your lap, this is important to keep in mind. The vents are not well placed for lap use.

~This is only a minor annoyance now that I understand why it was happening. There is a button on the side of the Cintiq that you can use to turn on and off the touch feature (touch feature off: only the stylus is recognized; touch feature on: you can use your fingers to interact with the screen). When you log into Windows 8 (at any time, turning on the computer, waking it up, etc), it automatically turns on the touch feature so you can use your finger, but it doesn't actually flip any switch to on, nor does it tell you. So, if you continue using the computer as if the touch feature were off, it registers your hand oddly and makes weird scribbles on the screen or does weird things. To fix this, immediately after signing in, you must press the Touch button twice. Once to officially turn it on, and then again to officially turn it off. It's a minor annoyance, but once you understand what's happening, it's an easy fix. I haven't found a way to fix this yet, other than to just turn it on and then off again.

~There is a light sensor on the front of the tablet, like you would see on an iPad style tablet, or a smartphone. When you cover this sensor, it dims the screen. This feature is nice on phones for when you go outside, but I don't understand the feature on this kind of tablet. My hand constantly covers and uncovers the sensor while I'm drawing, so it's always dimming, getting bright, dimming, getting bright, and it is very annoying. I can't figure out how to turn it off and it drives me crazy. I've had to alter the way I draw to avoid covering the sensor as much as possible. I like a really bright screen when I draw, so this is bothersome. Covering the sensor with tape is not a solution because then it is too dim.

~This one might be my fault, but I have two large scratches in the screen in less than 6 months. I always find them when I first pick it up, so it happens while I'm not around?? I don't know if it's my cats or what, but I thought I was keeping it safe. I didn't put it in the protective sleeve that comes with it though, because I thought that was overkill but apparently not. Just in case, I'd recommend a screen protector, or always storing it in the little zip up sleeve that is included. I can't possibly imagine what put such large cuts into my screen especially without me witnessing it, but it happened, twice. I've never damaged previous tablets or laptops in such a short period of time before, so it shocked me. Maybe it's easily damaged, or maybe my cats romp around at night on my tablet, and put it back when they're done? Idk. Store it in it's protective plush sleeve, just in case.

~The graphics card, or the processor, is not very good. I'm not sure which. The processor is an i7 so I thought it'd be just fine. The graphics card is poorly rated by Windows. I can't run Spotify, SAI and my stream at the same time without it running the processor at 100%. One time, I was streaming and my music started repeating one note, over, and over. A very loud buzzing noise, pretty much, and my screen went black with lines of pink dots all over it. I'm guessing those had to do with the stylus detection, based on their uniform pattern and the fact that I can see these same dots, just not in pink, when the tablet is off and I hold it at an angle. It stayed this way for a minute, then rebooted. I lost my work. When Windows resumed, it notified me of a fatal crash. I reported this to Wacom and they said they had never heard of it before, sorry. A friend of mine said he had a computer that did the same thing, minus the pink dots, and the reason was because he had a defective video card, or processor. I can't remember which it was. This is all speculation, I don't know what really happened, but that's my thought process and the story of what happened. I have since switched to a less intensive streaming program and have not had the same issue.

HERE'S THE KICKER
~And the worst of all, the charger. I got the Companion for Christmas in 2013. It had a few problems in December, but by Jan 13th, it was on it's final leg. I recorded a video for Wacom, here (audio not necessary). The video kinda sucks because I only had two hands, and had to fight with the lighting and wasnt sure where to focus on, but I also was trying to show that there is no external damage to the adapter and ports. As shown in the video, the tablet wouldn't recognize that the adapter is plugged in unless it was held at a specific angle. If I touched it, even lightly sometimes, it would disconnect. The status would read "Plugged in, not charging" and this is a known defect of the Companion. I sent the tablet in and they sent me a brand new one that I received in February 2014.

My replacement Companion is doing the same thing right now, and if you Google the quoted status, you will see many people have this problem, even with their replacements. I've been having problems with it since June, and I'm sure it's on it's final leg now. I struggled to get my tablet to turn on earlier today so I could draw, and once it finally powered on, it notified me of some error that I didn't pay enough attention too (but have recorded on a video) and after a few attempts, it finally powered on. I was pleased, thinking it was just dead and needed to recharge. Then I checked the battery status. Plugged in, not charging. This is it. The end. This is where my last one stopped working. It was dead within a matter of 24 hours. This is why I'm so frustrated. If I get it replaced, it's very likely I will have the same problem. Warranties can only get you so far. It's a hardware issue that can only be fixed by a non-computer smart person by replacing the entire computer. Jason thinks he can open the Cintiq and modify it so that it's not a piece of garbage, so that's something we're considering. I didn't want him to do it to my healthy Cintiq, but now that it's gone down the shitter again, if Wacom refuses to help me this time, I may have to let Jason open it up.

June 16th is when it crashed really crazy, and Wacom was just like ???? Later toward the end of June is when I first noticed a slight issue with charging. Once it became more obvious, I emailed Wacom. It has been 10 days since my first email, and I've not received a response. I sent another email 9 days ago, and a third email yesterday. This was before I got the "not charging" status, so do I have quite the update for them!

The Cintiq 24HD was amazing while I used it. It doesn't have the border problems that the Companion and other tablets have had, so I was very thankful for that. I don't like that it's so very heavy and huge, because I like to sit on the couch when I draw, but I'll gladly go back to that if that's my only other choice. The only real complaint was that it started glitching out on me. Once the screen was powered on for over 30 minutes, it would shut off, turn on, shut off, turn on, shut off, over and over, infinitely. I had to press the power button a bunch of times until I got the timing right and it would turn off. I did the whole walk through that Wacom gave me and nothing fixed it, so I sent it in, at my own cost of $120+ even though it's under warranty, to have them repair it. They "fixed" it and sent it back. It had the same problems. I returned it once again, this time at their expense, and they sent me a brand new one. I haven't even taken it out of the box yet, months later, because I've been using my Companion, but I sure hope it actually is new and not a defect. Honestly, after my experience with the Companion, I'm scared, but here's to hoping.

I'm really fed up with Wacom. If you've already purchased a Companion, I wish you luck. The first issue with within 30 days, the second was within 6 months. If you have not yet gotten a Companion and you want one, please think hard about it, and maybe wait until Wacom confirms they've gotten a handle on this problem and they release a better model. Google it. You will see I'm not the only person who has had this experience.

(Another angry note: And if you're going to tell me "lol should've waited until the 2nd model was released" please get fucked by a stick. As a consumer, I expect a company to put out a working product. It's not my fault that they released a garbage product, so stop blaming me. I got an $800 phone. Can you believe that? All of my last 3 phones have been a minimum of $600 retail brand new and guess what? Not a single problem or defect with ANY of them. That's a hell of a lot cheaper than the $2,000+ Companion, but it was a brand new electronic product that I got right away and they've never failed me, so shame on Wacom for releasing a buggy product and shame on you for blaming me for their problems. Again, sorry for the bitterness but I'm so angry at Wacom that I've cried literal tears over this problem, and to have people laugh at me for buying a product when it's first released, or for spending money on something that expensive, it's infuriating. Extra fuck yous to those of you who like to boast about how great their Wacom product is. Yeah, great that your Intuos works just fine for you, congrats on your nice hand eye coordination, but I need to draw on the screen and this is supposedly the best you can get in that department so please fuck back off to the land where assholes rub problems in the faces of those who just want the products they buy to work properly. Thanks)

COMMISSION STATUS:

Closed indefinitely.

=====================================
Moved to: https://trello.com/b/IURFbx3W

This may or may not have direct results in my art, but I am curious. I've found out that I really like some themes that I didn't think I'd be interested in, and I wonder how many more there are. If you could choose the content I drew, as far as themes and/or fetishes were concerned, what would you have me draw?

Also, a note on commissions: Work has resumed! My arm/wrist is feeling better so I'll be working on art again. I can't draw for as long as I normally do, but I don't know how much that will affect my workflow anyway. I don't normally spend 8-12 hours on art anyway. That's a rare occurrence :P But alas, art will start getting done again!

The Movie Night YCH is over 50% refined, and I'll begin coloring it in the next few days. I'll also be working on perks that I owe too.

Things I will absolutely most definitely add to my art one day (but doesnt exclude things not listed):
Breath play
Paws
Bondage
Size Play
Corruption

I need to draw a picture for my monthly Patreon exclusive drawing and I chose to start off with Aeris. I have a ton of ideas for her, but mine are all things that will take me a long time to draw, so those will be seen later. Plus, I'm curious what you guys could come up with.

Here's the character:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12477574/ (recent)

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12040580/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11601275/

She's a 100% aries, bold, princessy, extroverted, entitled and a bit destructive, but she has a warm, caring side too. She's more of a tease than anything else. The image itself wont be more than a mature rating, but with no nudity, so keep that in mind.

Any ideas? c:

These are older but people are still using them. Might as well make them easier to find! There is a link to this journal on my userpage for future easy access, and I will update it whenever I make new, free lineart. More to come.

Headshots:
(♂ canine/feline) Happy; or Grr face

Refs:
(♀/♂/∅ canine/feline) Slender/petite

Free programs you can use:
Photoshop CS2; Download it on their site(a -free- adobe account is required), or here
Gimp; Website
Krita; Download it here

 free2use has a directory of free lineart you can check out, as well.

I'm feeling chipper and want to give a doodle to someone. I want it to be someone who comments on my art/journals fairly regularly, or participates in my streams. So, if you do either of those things, post a ref, and any relevant information, such as themes, personality, dos/donts, etc.

If you link me to more than 3 refs, or tell me to search for them on a website/in your gallery/journal, go away. This is free art. You are more likely to be picked if you make it convenient for me. -nudgenudgehinthint-

Edit: Hiding comments from those who absolutely do not qualify. Nothing personal. You may be nice, or have a really cute character, etc, but if you don't qualify, you don't qualify. Thanks for trying. :P
Edit2: Due to a fuck up with my dinner, I don't have time to doodle before bed, so I'm postponing this til tomorrow.

This journal will serve as the application journal. Because I'm in need of money, the amount offered WILL have a sway in who I choose. You must be in the stream to get art and payment, in USD via Paypal, is made up front. I will look through this list, select someone and check to see if they're in the stream. If they are, I'll request payment, then begin the drawing.

NOTE: If you comment here you are NOT required to pay for the commission. If you're not in the stream I will skip you until you show up. If you never show up, I wont start the commission and you wont be required to pay. So, you may comment in the hopes that you'll be in the stream, no pressure~ Just announce yourself if you DO show up, and PLEASE hide your comment here if you're absolutely sure you no longer want the commission. ty c: NOTE: I've been taking some of these even if you're not in stream so if you don't care to be in the stream, say so! Sometimes my stream has viewers but none of them want a PWYW so that's a good time to choose someone who isn't present.

To apply, leave a comment with the following:
Reference(s): Drawn only. No SL/IMVU screenshots or descriptions
Amount you want to pay: USD dollar amount, no ranges like $10-15 or $45-60, just one flat amount please! The more you offer, the more time I'll spend on the drawing.
Pose/theme/situation desired: You may say "artist choice" but any info or keywords is helpful!
Rating: G-M only, no porn. Suggestive is fine, just no fluids or penetration please.

NOTE: The most I'll do is this quality, so if you offer to pay $200, you'll get something like that. If you offer something low like $15, you'll get a sketch, etc. These are not drawn huge like my normal drawings. They are 1280x1024

PAYPAL ADDRESS: Paypal email address is SRStudiosArt[at]gmail.com so I hopefully don't have to keep saying it in stream :P Please only include your FA/stream name in the payment notes and nothing else. ty <3

Not sure how I managed that. :'3 As a thank you for following my art, I'd like to do a little something for two lucky followers. Post a ref and when I have time, I'll pick one person at random, and one person based on their character being hella rad. Note: Please only apply if you're a big fan of my style, not just someone who happened to find this journal or is a free art junkie. I will verify that you're an actual follower before drawing anything.

I really like to do collaborations with people, where two artists work on one drawing together. I'd really like to have consistent, long term collab partners that I can continually work with. I have high standards though, so I don't want to sign up with anyone without a trial run first. If you're interested in doing collaborations with me, with the possibility of taking commissions together regularly in the future, apply here!

Fill out this form:

Position desired: (Do you sketch, line, flat color, or shade? Include all that you'd be willing to do and if chosen, we can discuss how to split the work)
Examples: (Up to 3 examples of -each- position you'd like to fill. So, if you say you can sketch and flat color, include up to 3 links of sketch examples, and 3 links to things you've colored but NOT shaded/lighted. If you have a full resolution available, please let me see that so I can see the quality up close.)
Restrictions: (Subjects you don't like to draw, or refuse)

For lining, coloring or shading, you -must- be a digital artist. You must use a program that reads PSDs. You must be willing to accept critique and suggestions that will help us work better together, just as I will. For example, for complex pieces, I need named, organized layers. You -must- have a Paypal account and be 18+.

A small note: Don't show me your cleanest sketches. I'd like to be able to -understand- your sketch, but I'm more interested in the quality of your anatomy and posing. There's no need to waste time on sketches if you're only making it pretty, when it's going to be inked anyway. So, show me your anatomical and posing skills, not cleanliness.

Please don't be offended if I don't choose you. Thanks for applying!

Also, ONLY POST ART THAT BELONGS TO YOU. It must be drawn BY YOU or FOR YOU with permission for others to color it.

This will be free, and there is no guarantee that I will pick anyone, or have it done by a specific date. I've got work to do today so I'll be away from home, no coloring til later. But I want something for on hand! Thanks c:

Considerations ( not a guarantee so don't get too excited :P ):

I've got some extra copies of games on Steam. One is the FIRST Borderlands, Game of the Year edition (which means it is the first Borderlands game, PLUS all 4 DLC). The second item is just Borderlands 2, nothing fancy.

Price is $30 each, or Best Offer (I wont consider any offers less than $10). To make an offer, comment below or send a note through FA. I'll reply and update this journal when I've accepted an offer and received payment.

Payment will be made via Paypal as I instruct. Once payment is received exactly as instructed, I'll provide the code for the game!

Good? Good. c:

Post some characters. I require the stuff below. If you do not include this in your comment, whelp. Probably gonna skip over you completely.

Species:
Body type:
Sex:
Ref: (No more than 3 links)
Age: If they are 348957345 years old, put down how old they APPEAR to be.


===============================
Yep.

If you have an Elfane character, please link to it below. I'd like to keep better track of who already owns an Elfane and now that I have a better idea of what I want my Elfane to be like, I'd also like to make sure all active Elfane are up to snuff.

If you have an Elfane character that you do not use and will not use in the future, please comment below confirming this. If you'd like to give your Elfane to me and relinquish ownership, that'd be awesome. c: All Elfanes are like my babies, so if you don't want them, I do. <3

I was going to post this on my other account  subrosareanstudios but I seem to have misplaced the password and cannot for the life of me remember the email I connected to it, so until I get that fixed, let's do this here. I got in! Here's my other journal, with more information: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4670257/

I've been thinking about my Elfane a lot lately and I need to rewrite a lot about them. FA has really helped a lot in the past in these kinds of journals to help me think about them in more detail.

So, ask me questions about my Elfane! You don't even need to know anything about them to help. Simply ask things like what they like to eat, their culture, etc. If you already know about my Elfane, try to ask questions that are a little more specific to their species, such as whether or not there are conflicts between elements/tribes etc.

You may not get an answer right away as some may take a lot of time for me to really get a good answer for, but any and all questions will get me thinking more about them, which is helpful!

This time, I will collect all of my responses and put them all on my site so there's a good place for everyone to look to when they want to read up about them. I know a good handful of people have been very interested in making their own Elfane and I apologize for taking so long on fleshing our their world..

Here's the start of my new description of them:
The Elfane are a small, bipedal species that wield elemental power. The typical Elfane has very long, erect ears, large eyes with vertical pupils and colored sclera, a long bushy black tail with a colored tip, a dewclaw on each foot and paw-like hands. There are 10 sub-species of Elfane with notable differences between most.

And their names:

1. Deva - Divine (Aetherian)
2. Yama - Eclipse (Chiropterian)
3. Vayu - Air (Aetherian)
4. Jala - Water (Aetherian)
5. Hima - Ice (Null)
6. Dala - Plant (Null)
7. Adhira - Lightning (Chiropterian)
8. Lavana - Ground (Null)
9. Anala - Fire (Chiropterian)
10. Sita - Neutral (Variable)

I've now got a page on my website for the information regarding the comic sponsorship. (It's a WIP though :P That horribly ugly tip jar will be updated)

The information is here, and the instructions on how to donate are here!

If you already know how to donate, you can skip to the bottom of the instructions page to get the form that needs to be emailed. Don't forget the code!!

FAQ:

1. Can I make payments in installments?

YES! c: Send as many as you'd like. Please send an updated form after each donation, however. Under the "donation amount" section, please format it like such "Donation amount: Donation 1 + Donation 2 = Total Donation" so that I can easily look for each individual donation amount!

2. What is the time frame?

Honestly, I have no idea. I'm nearly done with the first page and I will post each image as it is completed. However, I need monies, so my commissions will take priority over my comic project. The more donations, the more time I can dedicate to the comic! I'm aiming to complete it within 6 months, if possible.

3. What currency should the donation be sent as?

USD, please!! If your donation is sent as any other currency, the donation perks will only count if your converted donation in USD meets those levels!

4. Will there ever be a sequel?

Honestly, that's not my decision. Teahound wrote the comic and owns one of the characters involved, and she specifically didn't want a full on adult scene. If she changes her mind later, then maybe! I'm open to the idea, but again, I can't make any promises!

That's it! Thanks for reading C:

Commission information is ideally discussed through Discord (AjnaArt), but FA notes, emails (SRStudiosArt@gmail.com), and comments are okay too.
Please have all of your info together in an easy to read format. I have ADHD and I might get lost in details if you give me info over many different days and places.

PROCESS:
1. Discussion of commission
2. I send you a final price
3. I send you an invoice → you make payment
4. Sketch phase. WIP sent
5. Lineart phase, WIP sent
6. Flat color phase, WIP sent
7. Shading phase, final draft sent
8. Upon approval, the commission is considered complete! No changes will be made at this point*
9. I will post the image to Patreon
10. 3 days after, the image may be posted publicly. I space my drawings out, so it's likely going to be longer than 3 days, but you are free to share your commission after 3 days.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE:
1. Full size drawing for yourself, approximately 2500 pixels x 3500 pixels
2. Smaller size drawing for posting publicly
3. A timelapse video of the drawing process
→ This is sometimes not available, like when I do collabs with other artists

CHANGES: *
SKETCH: During the entire sketching process, you may request changes to character proportions, expression, background, composition, etc
LINES: You may request minor changes if something looks off or was drawn incorrectly or is missing. No major or compositional changes at this point or beyond
FLATS: You may request changes to markings or colors if they are missing or incorrect
SHADING: The only changes at this point will be due to missing or incorrect details that you originally asked for.

1. Major, compositional, or other changes requiring extra work may be subject to an additional fee.
→ This includes changes because you did not specify something in the initial commission. EX: You ask for a pinup or a character removing their shirt, and I draw them sitting. You ask for them to be standing instead. Since you did not initially ask for the character to be standing, I may charge a fee to change it. If you are particular about any detail, please specify it ahead of time.
→ This also includes when you are unsure about details. If you can't decide on a particular detail, I will charge an additional fee to draw it both ways to "see how it looks". It takes time to draw limbs in different poses. Most of the time, drawing two different things to "see how it looks" can really add up in time.
2. I will make changes to drawings after they are completed for a fee. EX: You want a new marking/tattoo added that was not originally on the character, you want a new outfit on the character, you want to update their anatomy to their current look, etc. I am happy to update drawings years after they're completed!
 
RELEASE:
Commissions are often started on within 0-3 days after payment is received. Commissions are usually completed in less than a week but can take up to a month for more complicated works. If you are concerned with how long a commission may take, please let me know upfront!

All commissions are posted to my Patreon 3 days before being released publicly. I ask that you do not post your commission before this 3 day period, out of respect to me. Afterward, you may share the drawing anywhere you'd like. Please do credit me with a link to my art profile.

If you receive a timelapse recording of your commission, you may share this among your close friends, but I prefer it not to be uploaded to galleries and the like.

All of my commissions are posted publicly. If you do not wish for your commission to be shared, I charge a 10% fee for privacy.
This fee covers ALL instances of public sharing, meaning that I will not post sketches, WIPs, timelapses, or any version of your commission, including to Patreon/Substar, and I will not work on it during stream, or share it as an example of a particular subject matter. Paying the privacy fee ensures that no one will see any iteration of the commission but you and myself.

I am happy to have my art uploaded to e621 and similar imageboard or image collection websites with proper credit. Please credit me as much as possible, as this allows people to find more of my art.

STREAMS:
I do not stream drawing much these days, but it's possible. Buying a commission from me means that your commission could potentially be streamed to viewers who join my stream. If you do not want your commission streamed, please let me know at the time of placing your order. There is no fee for this.

However, not all of my commissions are streamed. If you absolutely MUST have your commission streamed, there is a 10% fee to schedule this.
The reason for this fee is that it can sometimes be very time consuming to try to link my schedule with yours and to hope that there are no technological difficulties or personal emergencies that interfere with a scheduled stream.

RATINGS:
When working with adult themes, I prefer teasing, seductive, or sensual drawings. I'm not as fond of, nor skilled in, extremely graphic, raunchy nsfw art. I'm trying to get better with this, but if you purchase explicit art from me, please be aware that it may not be as good as the cutesy pinup stuff I do. I am trying to expand my abilities as much as possible, but I absolutely have my areas of strengths and weaknesses. Please keep this in mind.

WILL DRAW:
1. Animal genitalia; I have only recently started accepting this, so my skill here is limited. If you are particular about how the anatomy looks, please provide drawn images or photos of toys as reference. DO NOT send me photos of real animals.
2. Pregnancy. There is no added fee for smaller preg bellies. Large full term is subjected to a $30 fee, and an XL belly (twins+) incurs a $50 fee.
3. Hypnosis, femdom, dubcon, consensual noncon, and similar themes.
4. All genders/sexes. Male, female, intersex, herm, trans, null, etc.
5. All sexual orientations that do not otherwise go against my ToS; Hetero, homo, bi, pan, ace, poly, etc.
6. Tentacles, CBT, breathplay, lactation, paw focus, ghost hands

WILL NOT DRAW: This is non-negotiable, unless stated to be case-by-case. When in doubt, ask!
1. Underage characters or ferals/quads in pornographic or lewd situations
→ This does not include characters that have small proportions, such as kobolds, shortstacks, etc, but is on a case-by-case basis. If the character design is uncomfortably close to childlike proportions for me, I will politely decline. Please ask if in doubt!
→ This does include sentient feral animals, and MLP OCs. I am not interested in drawing quadruped/nonhuman animals in adult scenarios, regardless of their sentience. Feel free to ask if a particular character qualifies as too animal-like for me
→ Some Pokemon are okay (Braixen, Meowscarada, Lopunny, Gardevoir, Lucario) but the ones that are more animal-like in their base form (Ninetales, Vaporeon, Snorlax, Rapidash) are not. I will draw any Pokemon in a more kemono or anthro style in adult situations, though!
2. Scat/Vomit/Anything similar to that
3. Incest/Watersports/Fart related kinks are case-by-case, and I may post a censored version publicly
4. Vore (some light vore on a case-by-case basis)
5. Extreme hyper (includes genitals and muscles) and potentially super morbid obesity (heavy characters are okay, but my skill/familiarity with the anatomy of obese characters is very limited. Case by case basis). Some hyper accepted, but there may be an additional fee.
6. Mecha/Gundam or similar highly complex robotics
7. Very overt noncon/rape. I acknowledge fantasy is different than reality, but if the amount of noncon makes me uncomfortable, I will politely decline.

PROPERTY
As a commissioner, you are free to post the finished drawing to any site on the internet so long as you do not make profit off of it in any way. You may not sell it in a portfolio, paysite, or prints, etc. If you do post it, please link back to my userpage. I have the right to request that you remove the drawing for any reason. This will not happen under normal circumstances. Even if 10 years go by and I'm embarrassed about an old drawing I did, I do not consider this valid reason to ask for it to be taken down.

Though this is very unlikely, as the artist, I may use my drawings for prints (including but not limited to: posters, shirts, charms, etc), examples of my work/portfolio, posting to my online galleries, etc, unless we discuss otherwise before the commission is accepted. By you commissioning me, you are agreeing to this ToS and consenting to the listed terms.

Any sketches that are rejected by the commissioner are mine to do whatever I please with, including using for other commissions. You may not keep rejected sketches to be completed by other artists! If the sketch is too similar to your unique idea/concepts/IP, then the sketch will be reworked into its own idea, or scrapped completely. Scrapped sketches are not yours to keep and use as reference.

REFUNDS
If refunds are decided upon, you will receive a refund minus payment for any work done, and any fees from Paypal, if applicable. If I initiate the refund, due to my own personal issues or shortcomings, then I will cover the Paypal fee.

If work has been started, you will only be refunded for work not yet done. If I finish the sketch, you will be refunded the amount minus what I keep to cover the cost of the sketch. In this case, where the sketch has been paid for, you may post/share the sketch as you would any other commission from me, and you may have the sketch completed by another artist, without asking me first, or finish it yourself. If you or someone else finishes my sketch, I'd love to see the result! Please do credit me for the base sketch though, with a link to my userpage.

PAYMENT
All payments should be made via Paypal invoice only. Please provide your Paypal email address upon order. Pay in 4 is available for those who quality.

Payment is expected upfront and in full unless discussed otherwise. All prices are in USD, and must be received by me as such. Payment plans are an option, accepted on a case-by-case basis.

TIPS
I have the tip feature enabled on my invoices. These are completely optional, and very appreciated. Please do not feel obligated because the option is there.
If you want to give a tip after payment has already been sent, you may send a direct payment to SRStudiosArt@gmail.com, or send it through Kofi.

And that's all I have for now. :) When you contact me for a commission, if you could let me know you've read the ToS, that would be super appreciated. I'm not going to fight you if you don't, or if you skip reading the ToS even, but it's nice to know that you're up to date on what to expect, so I don't have to dump walls of text on you or overexplain myself. Many thanks for your time and support! ^^

Your favorite as an anthro, preferably. Why is it your favorite?

Personally, I love any spotted kitty. Snow leopards, margay, ocelot, cheetah, etc. I love cats so I'm pretty biased, but I also love that their muzzles are usually smaller. I think it fits well with the kind of anthro I like (more humanoid, slim neck, mostly human body etc). Things like horses and sharks are all cool but they don't fit a human neck as nicely and usually require thicker necks which is totally cool! But not my preference. So, spotted kitties it is! Plus, dem toes. The cutest.

How about you? Enlighten me.

Pimps of pretty kitties:

EDIT: Going to bed now, but continue to post if you'd like. I can always use some inspirational arts.

Right now. Anyone have some lineart they don't mind me coloring?

If so, link to lineart, preferably SAI/PSD file, but a black and white PNG/JPG works too. If you don't want the layered file public, email it to me at tee[at]srstudios.org with the subject "lineart to color"

MUST BE YOUR ART, or a link to art that is totally free to color by anyone. If it's a certain character that MUST stay that character, give me their ref.

Around or above my skill level please.

I may pick one or two, or three or none at all. No commitments! I also may make alterations to the image if I feel it better suits the image so keep that in mind.

Feeling brave?

Like my art, but tired of my subjects and themes? Here's a chance for you to directly influence my art, for FREE. It's really easy, too. Just comment below with what you want me to draw. You can be as vague or descriptive as possible. You can be as selfish as you want. You can consider this a free request, where you give me a ref of your specific character, or you can come up with something completely non-related, such as "a woman overlooking a cliff at dusk" or whatever. Want to see me doing something sketchy or painty like a concept doodle? Or maybe you want to see more pixel art? Refined paintings? Character studies? Still life?

The catch is that I want to be challenged! If you just give me a ref of your sparkledog and ask me to draw "something cute", I'll pass over it. Challenge me to draw an emotion I avoid, an environment, whatever. Get creative! I'll illustrate what I find the most interesting. Note: I'm allowing people to provide refs of their furry characters. However, I may skip over them, as I want to practice real animals, humans, non-living subjects, etc. I'm not saying a furry will completely disqualify your request, but it may hurt it, depending on the rest of the request.

Restrictions:
NO PORN. I am not going to do adult art.
..

and that's it I guess. :P Feel free to request anything your heart desires! Maybe I'll draw it. c: I want to expand what I draw. I've been practicing lately, but I've noticed I'm still sticking to things I already draw! I tried humans, but I'm still drawing ladies. I tried environments, but I'm still drawing forests. I think some outside suggestions would help a lot. c:

I will work on these in my spare time. which is very little. It will take me a long time to even finish anything. I will not tell you if I choose to do your request. I don't want to place any burdens on myself. I will show you the result if I do complete your request.

for the sake of keeping it easy for me, I will hide comments that I find don't fit what I'm looking for. Please don't be offended if I hide your comment. If I -don't- hide your comment, don't assume I am going to draw your image. It just means it's up for serious consideration. I'm expecting quite a few comments, so I just want to weed out what I KNOW doesn't fit. Thanks!

I've got things to do atm so I'll be back to review these later. Thanks for your help!

EDIT: Please see this updated page for information: http://www.srstudios.org/pages/comic.html













======================
I have a comic in the works: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7541294/

CJ: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7091391/

A bit of info is in the description. Basically, I want to finish this before I open for commissions. However, I've been behind on commissions for so long, that I am completely out of money. I've been borrowing from Jason, but I'd like to stop borrowing and start making money again. However, I refuse to open for bulk commissions until I've cleared EVERYTHING that I owe, commission or not.

So, here's what I'm thinking. How about trying to get the comic sponsored? If people sponsor it, I can spend a little more time on it, making it nice, without worrying about my money situation as much.

Please note that there is no sex involved in the comic. It is foreplay, above the waist, with nudity, but no full on sex. I thought I should mention that before getting anyones hopes up. I'm sure that will hurt my chances considerably, but this comic was pre-planned to be as such. I want to focus on the excitement of exploration between the two characters!

Now, there are incentives, for those who wish to donate.

$1+ A personal thank you from me! :P
$5+ A personal thank you, as well as your icon in the description of the comic pages, under "Sponsored by" (I have over 10K watchers. Yay, exposure!)
$15+ The above, plus your choice of a high res file of ONE page. I don't ever give out high res files to non-commissioners.
$25+ The above, plus TWO high res images of your choice.
$45+ The above, plus FOUR of the pages in high res.
$55+ The above, plus ALL pages of the comic high res and your icon under "special sponsors".
$65+ The above, plus a refined sketch of one character. c:

I doubt I'll get many bites, but if I do, and for some reason I get anything significantly above the last tier, we can talk something out. I've never done this before, so I don't even know how it's gonna turn out but the worst that can happen is no one bites, so worth a shot. xP

A few notes: The comic is planned to be full coloring and shading, with backgrounds, text, a plot and the works. The high res images are 1700 x 2200, which is 8.5" x 11" at 200 DPI. I'd like you to keep the high res images for yourself. Nothing I do or say can stop you from distributing them but you paid for them. Why would you want to give it away? >_>

You are free to print the images if you'd like, for personal use. As with all of my art, however, you may not sell, alter or make any profit from it, please.

To contribute, send your donation to SRStudiosArt[at]gmail.com as "gift" "payment owed" or "other" under the personal tab. Include your FA username so I know who to link it to. Anything other than what I specify will be considered an anonymous donation and wont be granted the incentives. Please carefully select as I instruct.

If you would like to remain anonymous, but still receive incentives, please include your FA name and also mention you want to be anonymous. I still need to know where to send the incentives! Thanks <3

I will accept these all the way up until I finish the comic. If no one sponsors, the comic will still be completed. It'll just probably be a bit less polished, more rushed, and no incentives. All pages will be posted to FA as they're completed.

Sponsors so far: (So I don't forget before I submit the images!)
Ferrywolf $15
Cardipwn $20
emeralddraconis $70
