2024 was quite the year. A lot of ups and downs, highs and lows. Life has a funny way of going directions you didn't expect and you need to figure out your own way. Regardless, this is been another year of art, learning and meeting new people. Thank you all, whether you've followed me for sometime or you've discovered me recently, for all your support. The comments, favorites and watches do mean a lot.

Take care of yourself out there and wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a good hopeful New Year.

Happy Holidays! May the festivities of the season provide you all with some fun and entertainment during these months.

Thank you all for your continued support throughout 2023 and here's hoping 2024 is a good year. I wouldn't have pushed through so many art art blocks without you guys. Take care, be kind to each other and stay safe.

Hoo boy this one is a little late. Going through a bunch of life stuff right now which is making it a bit of a challenge to keep up with stuff. Regardless, thank you all for your continued support throughout the year. It's really appreciated and helped push me through some rough times. I can only hope that your holiday season has been enjoyable and fun as well. So again, happy holidays and here's to a new year! Take care everyone.

Greetings and salutations. Before I begin, I'd like to thank my watchers and commissioners for all the support they've given me these past few years. It has been an interesting journey and appreciate everyone's comments, favorites and support. I hope you all will look forward to the pictures produced in the future as we continue to move forward. Now, it has been two whole years since I last updated my commission prices. I've been spending more time on commission pieces and, to reflect this, will be increasing my prices across the board by $5usd.

All prices are in USD
Colors (flat) are $20 +10 per extra character. (Also considered 'Stage 1')
Colors and shades are $25 +15 per extra character (Also considered 'Stage 2')
Inking, colors and shades are $30 +20 per extra character. (Also considered 'Stage 3')

A stage is the level of work I must apply to an image. For example if I'm only adding shades to a preciously colored image, it would be stage 1 (despite being shading, not flat colors). An image that would only be Inked and Flat colored would be Stage 2 (Inking as one stage, flat colors as another). I'm adding these levels because there have been a few people inquiring about a service not listed (such as just inking, or just shading). This will hopefully will clear up any confusion.

Additionally, there may be extra charges depending on how complex a background or character may be. I will do my best to inform you of such charges before placing you on the queue. I aim to keep these charges within the $5 to 10 range, depending on complexity and details but may have to go beyond that.
If you are interested in commissioning me please send me a note. If there any questions I will also do my best to answer them.
Please note, I am just a colorist and do require another artist's work to be commissioned. Additionally, by commissioning me you agree to FA's ToS. This means you have permission from the original artist for me to color their work. I have permission from  marauder6272  BadgerBen  Mr.Pink and  SimonAquarius to color their work already. So you do not need to ask them.

Once again, thank you for the support and take care.

Another year approaches its end and once more I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone. Thank you to everyone who followed me this year and continued to do so. Thank you to those who have commissioned me, favorited and commented on my posts. Thank you for the support and encouragement that has spurred me on to try and do better, improving on my art styles.

A bit late on the journal this year but it's been a busy season ^^; I hope that everyone reading this has a merry holiday season that's safe and full of fun. Here's hoping to a good new year.

2020's nearly coming to an end and, oh boy, what a year it's been. I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone, new and old, for the support you've all given throughout the year. Comments, favorites and shouts, the support in my commission work and inspiration during my streaming. Thank you all for everything this community has offered me.
So I'd like to wish everyone a safe and happy holidays. May you all enjoy the upcoming year. Hopefully the rest of the decade will be a positive shift from the start.

This journal is to try and cover some of the questions I've seen floating around. I was suspended for a week, repealed early thanks to an understanding appeal, for posting content of a questionable age group. It was never my intention to post such a thing and, moving forward, will make it more clear that all characters in my gallery are at least of eighteen years of age or older due to time (or other reasons). The image in question, and others, have been manually removed.
Business will continue on as normal now that I'm back. Notes are welcome and hopefully I've replied to those with current inquires.
Other questions are welcome below if I haven't covered everything.

-Hope you all stay safe and take care of yourselves during this time.

Been quite the year, full of learning and goodbyes but also many hellos. Thank you all for your support throughout the 10s as we move into the 20s.
I wish you all the best of holidays, no matter what you celebrate, and may your days be bright and merry!

Yesterday marked the end of an Era. After nine lovely seasons My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, ended. It was a good ending and, while I wish for more, am happy with how it wrapped up. No series finale will be perfect but I'm very content with how it all wrapped up. Most certainly there's been a few of these journals flying around since yesterday, so bare with me.

I would like to take a moment to thank all of you guys, my watchers/followers for supporting me. Thank you for commissioning me, favoriting images and watching the streams throughout my art career. Without you I would not have made it half as far as I am. What does this all mean though? The show's over and Blues is writing something wishy-washy? Is he quitting?

No, I'm not. The show may be over but the community will be around for some time yet. As such I'll keep doing what I'm doing until it's no longer fun. You can continue to expect fun pony pictures (involving the Snack Shack and Casino stuff and other non-themed images) in the near future. Those are just personal things and I still intend on working on commissions and other work. Hopefully my art skills will continue to grow as we move forward into the unknown.

Once more, thank you all for the support and fun. Hope to keep going and see you all in the future.

First off, thank you all for the many favorites, comments and watches over this past year. I wish I could thank you all individually but there's a lot of you. So consider this a blanket thank you from me to you.
Secondly, I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season as 2018 comes to close. May your Christmas be fun and your New Years wonderful.

Hooo boy, been a year already since my last price update. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for the watches, comments and favorites. Your support has meant a lot to me over the past few years and, hopefully, you all enjoy what's being produced in the future!
This probably isn't going to come as too much of a surprise but my prices are becoming adjusted. My art, style and process feel like they've improved so I'll be charging a little bit more.

Please note that all prices are in USD and that I accept payments through paypal.

Colors (flat) are $10 +5 per extra character.
Colors and shades are $15 +10 per extra character
Inking, colors and shades are $20 +15 per extra character.

Story commissions:
$1.25usd per 100 words (rounded up).

In addition, prices may change depending on the details and content of the picture in question. Pictures with highly detailed backgrounds or extremely detailed characters may be subject to a price increase. I will give you a quote for price after I've seen the picture and will happily answer any questions you may have. I also reserve the right to reject a commission. There's also a three edit limit to any image (base image, plus three others).

If you have any questions or concerns, please send me a note. If you're looking for a line artist please see the description of my posts. The original artist of the sketch or line work will be credited in the description if you want a specific style.

Wow, 2017 is almost over. It feels like this year has really just flown by. A lot as has happened and, as an artist, I think I've grown quite a bit since the start of the year.
I just wanted to take a moment to wish all of you a happy holidays this season and to thank you for all the support you guys have given me. Whether it's been simple favorites, comments on submissions or commissioning me to color you stuff, I thank you for all the support you guys have given me this year. Here's hoping I'll continue to grow as an artist and be able to maintain this level of productivity in 2018.

So again, thank you all and have yourselves a happy holidays!

Hello everyone! It's been a long time since I updated my journal and my commission prices. I feel that my quality of coloring and shading has improved over the course of my artistic career and to reflect that, I'm increasing my prices to the following:

Colors (flat) are $8 +4 per extra character.
Colors and shades are $12 +8 per extra character
Inking, colors and shades are $15 +10 per extra character.

Please note that the above prices are in USD (U.S Dollars). In addition, prices may change depending on the details and content of the picture in question. Pictures with highly detailed backgrounds or extremely detailed characters may be subject to a price increase. I will give you a quote for price after I've seen the picture and will happily answer any questions you may have. I also reserve the right to reject a commission.

This also may not have been well known but there is an option for story commissions as well. I charge $1usd per 100 words. I ask for an estimate in word count and will aim to target that limit (but may fall short, I will charge for the final word count).

If you are interested in a commission, please send me a note and I'll get back to you!

Hey people it's time to update this thing again. So the good news is I'm open for commissions, if you're interested send me a note.

Colors (flat) are $5 +3 per extra character.
Colors and shades are $8 +6 per extra character
Inking, colors and shades are $12 +8 per extra character.

Please note I hold the reservation to charge extra depending on background or other details that may come up. Examples are all in my gallery and if you any questions just say.

Have a nice day!

Happy Holidays everyone! I hope the coming few days are relaxing and you're able to enjoy your time with who you love.

Hello everyone, I just wanted to post this to let people know I am accepting commissions.
Prices:
$8 USD +$6 per extra character. $5 for flats +3 per character. I reserve the right to charge extra depending on the level of complexity for background and other details.

Have a good day!
