Livestream: Free Art + Sem
Posted 12 years agoNew Episode Premiere!
Hello internetland! Just wanted to send out a quick reminder that today will be the new episode of Sem on my Livestream channel. This will be happening at 2:00pm Mountain Standard Time and we are now off air. Click here to automatically detect what that will be in your time zone.
CLICK TO WATCH LIVESTREAM NOW!
Sem is an original sci-fi series by my oldest friend sorindragon who is the director and voice of the main character named Sem. It is presented in both a radio drama animatic format, which is basically a full audio soundtrack (dialog, sfx, and music) synced to graphic-novel images... rather like a movie soundtrack played over a storyboard. It's got a time travel theme to it and reminds me a bit of Doctor Who. I fell in love with the project and it's had some amazing response so far from everyone I've shown it to ever since we revealed the pilot episode. It will be a fun afternoon of creativity, discussion, cool music, and free art! Yes, that's right, FREE ART
If you join in on the stream from beginning to end of the Sem episode, you'll be eligible to enter. A randomly selected winner will receive art of their character and have it drawn live during the stream. Check out the other drawings I've done for the Sem streams... you could be next!

Sem Ep 1-3
If you haven't joined us for episodes 1-3, I highly recommend watching the first few over on YouTube. They're 15-20 minutes long and awesome, getting constantly better in both plot development and artwork. I star as a character in 2 and 3 by the way :>
Hope you see you all there! :D

Emergency Commission Stream Today!
Posted 12 years agoHALP TEAM!
So I hate to be asking this at all... considering me + commissions = problems, but that's exactly why I haven't publicly opened for commissions outside of cons for years, and don't really want to offer slots anymore... they're like promises I can't keep (or just ones that get fulfilled very very late)
So I'm going to try out a new system that seems to be working well for a ton of artists I know: Livestream commissions!
First off, the reason behind me doing this- I have rent to pay off the beginning of next week and I'm nowhere near the amount I need to cover it yet. I also got hit by two big overdraft fees recently due to companies automatically charging my accounts on a scheduled billing cycle, which would have been fine, but it went through without my knowledge or they were early in charging me, so I didn't have enough money in the right account at the right time and WHAM suddenly I'm down almost $100 for no good reason. UGH! The desperate need for cash in a short amount of time has twisted my arm to force me to take on commissions when I should be using my time focusing on my school projects for graduation. Just means I get to work my tail off even more to do both.
If you haven't seen it yet, I just put up a sales post about some discounted webstore items. If you were looking to purchase a mask or nose from me, here's a great way to get one cheaper and faster than ever before! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10018606/
How To Commission
Great! You're interested in a commission! These will be first-come, first serve opportunities and all arrangements will be made via Livestream. These commissions will be done on-the-spot so you'll get to watch it come to life right before your eyes so you know you'll be getting some instant return on your purchase. Win-win for both of us, no more of this waiting shenanigans. If it works out well enough, I may be able to open for more commission days like this more often. So I do hope you'll stop by and give some support!
Livestream Broadcast info: Stream will start February 27th (today basically when I wake up) at 1pm MST (click here to instantly convert this into your time zone) and will go on for as long as I can go on for. It will be most of the day.
Commission info: I would like to start out by opening for badge size, flat colored characters. Your choice of headshot ($20) or full bodies ($25) Prices can also go higher/lower than this depending on complexity. Yes you can have multiple characters/commissions! You'll pay the full amount ($20 or $25) per character drawn for you, no discounts by combining them in the same picture. Your commission must be paid in full up front before I begin working. No reserving slots, if you're present and ready to pay immediately for the next opening, then you'll get it.

Further Confusion and My Birthday!
Posted 13 years agoToday I'm turning 23, whoo! I think Verlis has something planned for dinner otherwise I'm not really doing anything other than working on my Riley suit... which is becoming more and more a lost cause to complete it in time for Further Confusion, mostly because work decided to schedule me like every day next week leading up to the trip and I'm back in school again. >:C I'm reconsidering making the suit the new Hybrid Riley as well but I just can't decide. I'm thinking I might be happier switching modes to drawing and finishing Hybrid Riley's ref for con commissions, but I'd also be sad if I didn't have anything to wear at the con. Yet I'd hate to half ass it. Maybe I'll just finish the head and paws? Still have tons of webstore orders to do in the meantime as well (by the way I have a webstore tracker now: www.caninehybrid.com/orders). UGH there's just not enough hours in the day!
Anyways- HAVE A MEME
Further Confusion 2013 Meme
What dates will you be attending?
Thursday morning to Monday afternoon
How are you getting there?
Plane trip! Haven't been on a plane since I was 14 and this'll be the first time I go on one alone
Where are you staying?
Secondary con hotel, The Hilton
What will you be doing the most at the convention?
Buying all the things!
What else will you be doing?
Suiting, attending panels, meeting people. Here is my planned panel schedule (you stalkers): http://fc2013.sched.org/CanineHybrid
Who are you rooming with?
flurrycat
What do you look like?
Normal w/ Riley hat: [link]
Spiked hair (and my many awesome shirts): [link]
On a good hair day: [link]
What is your gender?
Female
How old are you?
23 as of today! :DDD The con's a bit of a birthday present for myself
Are you mated/in a relationship?
Yup, currently with
verlis
How tall are you?
5' 6"
Do you have a fursuit? What does it look like?
Currently a work in progress, hoping to finish in time. Riley the German Shepherd Dog: [link]
Rules of engagement?
Hugs are fine, just please ask first. Feel free to take photos, talk to me, join me on the dancefloor, and (assuming your hands are clean) handshakes and high-fives are great!
Can I buy you a drink/food?
I'm down for noms! I'm not an alcohol person though
Can we hang out?
I'd be happy to chill with people and get to know them. I'm quite sociable and easy to get along with, but if I'm quiet or reserved, either I'm tired or I think you're a creeper and am just too polite to say so.
I really want to meet you, whats the best way I can find you / reach you ?
Tweet me CanineHybrid! I always have my phone on hand and will try to check it constantly (though may take a bit to respond). Otherwise I'll probably be in the dealer's room a ton and a majority of fursuit/art tracks and hanging out with Monoyasha a lot of the time. See my schedule for the list of panels I plan to attend
If I see you, how should I get your attention?
Just call out "Riley!" or "CanineHybrid!" Or just come up to me, I don't mind being approached and am always looking for a good conversation. Don't be nervous to say hi!
Anything you are going to buy in the Artist Alley / Dealers Den
I've got pre-order badges from
Idess and 
kacey, but I definitely want more badges and drawings of Theod and hybrid Riley for sure. Whatever I can afford really.
Anyone you are looking forward to meeting?
2 Gryphon, various fursuit builders, tons of artists, a few online friends
Last thoughts?
I'm so super excited for this! It's gonna be a year of firsts for me- first out of state con I'm flying out to by myself, first time at a large fur con, first time I'll have a personal fursuit, first time in San Jose. I feel so grown up now |D
Who else is going!!? I want to compile a list of peeps I know here on my journal.
flurrycat, kazulgfox, frosteefox, Rooth, sparklekreations, twistedterrace, raptonx, beastcub

Last Day to save $10 on Resin Masks!
Posted 13 years agoHey all, Happy New Year!
If you were interested in purchasing a resin blank from my webstore, today is the last day to save $10 for New Years! Keep in mind that I am a little behind on orders from being sick and unable to work much during the holidays so it'll take 3 weeks or so to get to you. Still, I won't be having another sale for quite awhile so I can focus on finishing orders and creating new product.
Also news in the webstore department, for Christmas I received an industrial compressor and compression chamber- meaning that I can now do airbrush work AND pressure casting! This means that I will now be offering resin eyes because with my new toys, I can pressure cast them to be completely bubble-free :DD I'm adding them to the webstore right now. Send me a note or an email if you have any questions (sales@caninehybrid.com)
Click here to go to the webstore: http://store.caninehybrid.com
I'll be attempting to cast masks today, but I am still sick so I probably won't get too far. In that case I'll switch modes to drawing commissions instead. New Year, new start... let's get stuff done!

Commission Updates
Posted 13 years agoHeyo!
So as of this morning I have FINALLY officially started working on the RMFC commissions. I really apologize for being so delayed with these, a lot of stuff just kept coming up. Everyone should be getting a WIP sketch soon and my goal is to have them all completed by the end of the year. I think I'm gonna do some of the easier ones first so I can get them out of the way and it'll help me roll into tackling some of the bigger stuff, or maybe alternate. I'm trying to organize it so I don't burn myself out and make you guys wait any longer. I have a few trades to get out of the way too, that'll be included in my workload. I have not forgotten about you guys! D:
Alternatively if you'd rather not wait and get a refund, let me know as soon as possible since the Holidays are coming up after all it could be nice timing for you.
And now that resin mask orders are is full swing, thank you everyone who's purchased a blank from me so far! I cannot wait to see what kinds of projects you build with them. I am currently out of resin so I'm gonna hit up Reynolds today and cast all the pre-order "flawed" blanks and noses. Those should ship this week no problem if I stay on top of things. All pre-orders should be done by the end of the year assuming my new mold turns out okay. *crosses fingers* Ended up needing to put that on hold due to lack of silicone in stock as well. Weellpp time for a casting SHOPPING SPREE! :DD I'm gonna take my new canine mask and show it off at Reynolds too, they love seeing customer projects.
Take care all!

Woah, new watchers... where did you all come from!?
Posted 13 years agoI log on to FA and am greeted by 25 new watches, all within a few hours of each other oO
lol what happened while I wasn't looking? Did I get featured somewhere? Who do I have to thank for this sudden spike of awesome?
And of course to my new watchers: thank you so very much for keeping an eye on my work, I really appreciate your support! :heart:
In other news it's resin casting day again! More canine blanks are on the way *flops* May or may not Livestream, resin casting isn't the most interesting thing on the planet to watch. If you disagree, convince me to stream and I will XP

November Status
Posted 13 years ago---Wow it's November already!---
So guess what I FINALLY stopped being sick >< I don't remember the last time I was that ill for that long- I blame this party I went to a few days before Halloween, combined with my high stress levels and the weather changes for the reason as to why it was so bad. I still have a nasty cough that won't go away however so I'll have to be careful about doing my molding/casting stuff with that.
If you're waiting on a canine blank from me, I'm going to be focusing on working on all the orders and shipping out as many as I can this week. Since I'm doing everything myself, I'm unsure how long it'll take to do each one, but I'll get a much better sense on the timing once I get a system down for working on them. For those of you who have pre-ordered and opted to get a partial refund for the delay, that will be credited to you the moment your order is shipped out. Those who downgraded to the "flawed" masks will be completed first simply because the new mold is not ready yet, and will take 30 hours to make the new mold due to curing times. And that's assuming the new mold comes out perfect. *crosses fingers* SO, tomorrow I am working on all the flawed mask orders and making a silicone nose mold. I should be able to start casting noses tomorrow night to send them out to everyone who wanted the nose upgrade. Mid-week the new mold will be ready and I can start casting those orders. I can make several masks in a day (naturally the cut/hinged ones will take a little more time) so this week I should be able to finally get these guys out of the way very soon! On top of this, I will be offering a special Thanksgiving sale on the masks and special Livestream with some friends. Stay tuned for details
---Sem---
Speaking of Livestream! This weekend, on Saturday November 17th at 3:00pm MST, I am hosting a very unique and awesome broadcast with my oldest friend
SorinDragon. He has been very dedicated on working on an original series called Sem that we will be introducing to you during the broadcast. More details about that can be found on the Livestream announcement deviation. Sem is a sci-fi story with a sorta time traveling theme to it, reminds me a little of Doctor Who actually (which is why I like it so much I guess) and is a highly creative and collaborative project! Sem itself is a radio drama/animatic presentation (animatics are like storyboard/graphic novel images timed up with a complete soundtrack of music, dialog, and SFX). It actually features the voice acting talents of myself and my friends, as well as other contributions such as art and music. In fact we're always looking for more interested people if you would like to help out yourselves, and this broadcast is helping promote Sorin's awesome work so he can get some future interest. We'll be needing plenty of voice actors in the future and it's all just a lot of fun.
As a bonus, if you show up for the Livestream and stick around for the Sem preview (about 15 minutes of your time), you'll be eligible to be entered into a random drawing where I will pick one of you to receive a free character drawing, done right there on the spot while you watch and get some time to talk to Sorin, the director, about the Sem project- or just hang out with my friends and I for an afternoon of chatting, music listening, drawing, creativity, and awesomeness. We really hope to see you all there!
I'd like to start doing so more Livestreams again in general, how does that sound? Probably a lot more drawing things, maybe even some animation sessions.
(By the way Sorin's not really active on FA, check out his DA instead ;p http://sorincrecens.deviantart.com)
As for the RMFC commission list below, my goal is to get most of them done (or at least sketched for larger projects) by the end of this month.

Sem itself is a radio drama/animatic presentation (animatics are like storyboard/graphic novel images timed up with a complete soundtrack of music, dialog, and SFX). It actually features the voice acting talents of myself and my friends, as well as other contributions such as art and music. In fact we're always looking for more interested people if you would like to help out yourselves, and this broadcast is helping promote Sorin's awesome work so he can get some future interest. We'll be needing plenty of voice actors in the future and it's all just a lot of fun.As a bonus, if you show up for the Livestream and stick around for the Sem preview (about 15 minutes of your time), you'll be eligible to be entered into a random drawing where I will pick one of you to receive a free character drawing, done right there on the spot while you watch and get some time to talk to Sorin, the director, about the Sem project- or just hang out with my friends and I for an afternoon of chatting, music listening, drawing, creativity, and awesomeness. We really hope to see you all there!
I'd like to start doing so more Livestreams again in general, how does that sound? Probably a lot more drawing things, maybe even some animation sessions.
(By the way Sorin's not really active on FA, check out his DA instead ;p http://sorincrecens.deviantart.com)
As for the RMFC commission list below, my goal is to get most of them done (or at least sketched for larger projects) by the end of this month.
Major Project Updates
Posted 13 years agoBusy busy busyness
Time to give you some much-needed updates methinks. First off school fall quarter has started again, I'm enrolled in character animation, portfolio production, and dynamics & simulation classes. My final portfolio project is the focus since I'll be graduating in March 2013. Whew, getting rather close now. I have 6 months to create an animated short; you'll start seeing assets from it pop up on my gallery quite soon. It should be a fun project to work on! I go to school Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and go to work Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday. I gave myself Saturday's off.
This means I have a LOT less time to work on commissions and costumes, unfortunately D: So I want to give you a heads up about that now: Once again, if you are waiting on a commission from me, feel free at any time to send me a note if you would like to cancel it and I will refund you in whole if I haven't started on it. I cannot promise anyone deadlines when I'll get your project done and I do not wish for you to wait a painfully long time if it's not worth it to you to keep holding your breath. There is an upside however: you'll get a higher quality piece of art simply because my skills will improve over time. But do not hesitate to contact me about it. I plan to first focus on the RMFC commissions and resin castings for awhile then go back to wavy icons and headshots- might try to slip these in throughout the week.
Project Updates
First of all, I recently launched a new way to keep up with me and my work: Creative Connection Newsletter!
I dislike updating my DA journal, I completely neglect my FA, Wordpress, or LiveJournal, so what I'll be doing instead is replacing all my journals with my newsletter. I won't stop posting here on DA altogether, but the updates will be mostly consist of an overview of the newsletter and a link to the current issue. I do encourage signing up for it but will be reflected here so you won't miss an update.
Theod Raptor Costume: Stilts are being upgraded by
Skaros444 to be a little lighter, stronger, and less squeaky Meanwhile I'll be working more on the head sculpt and my goal is by the end of the month to have a mold made and a resin pull. Early next month I'll purchase some reticulated foam for the body/leg padding and I'll be able to start on the bodysuit. A new video will be done by the end of the year with a few of the secret features revealed Project deadline is now set to March 1, 2013 and will debut at Animeland Wasabi convention.
Charizard Partial: Head was slightly heat warped by being left in the car, will need to be warped back- no permanent damage. Mouth (teeth, gums, tongue) is sculpted, just needs a few details smoothed out and then it will be ready for molding and casting. Will offer the jawset and tongue in the webstore for the dragon resin masks soon as it is done. After that the head is completely ready for pattern making and skinning. The wings will be the next piece as I have all the materials for it and the pattern drafted. Goal is to finish this project by December.
Canine Resin Mask: Just spent another 10 hours in last night's broadcast refining the details of the mask- mostly the eyebrows and bottom jaw, and the nose I just started roughing out. All I have left is finishing the nose sculpt/texture, smoothing out final details, and creating the hinge. I have not uploaded photos on Flickr yet, but the final sculpture will be uploaded to my gallery early next week when I make the mold. Resin production starts next week and shipment will begin as soon as possible. Uncut blanks will go out right away and cut/hinged blanks will take an extra week or so. I will also be offering silicone noses in the webstore! I will contact everyone who has placed an order with me and ask if they would like to also purchase a nose so I can combine shipping. Something special might just happen when the blanks are officially released, so keep an eye out for something soon.
"The Last Flower": New project alert! This is title of my animated short portfolio project. This features two new monster characters, Garen and Spencer, whom you'll meet real soon. The storyline: It is a barren mountainous environment, and Garen has been traveling for a long time searching for something to eat. He happens upon a rare and delicious flower. He hurries over but as soon as he reaches it, the flower disappears as Spencer quickly grabs it first. Angered, Garen confronts the newcomer but their quarrel ends in an unexpected way. You'll have to wait till it's all done in March to see the ending. It's a completely original piece that was actually inspired by this picture I did of my Tyranitar: [link] I have been working the last 3 months on the animatic (animated storyboard) and the character designs are finalized. This week I'm working on tweaking all the camera angels and timing, as well as making final character turnarounds. Animation tests will follow real shortly and should be up next week as well. I'm uploading a screenshot of what the final project will look like today.
Ezreal Cosplay: This is a project I started working on a little before A-kon back in June for my brother =ReyTiger. It got delayed but I have a lot of assets done for it already. Ezreal is a playable character in the video game League of Legends (that my friends and I are all addicted to and you should totally play with us and use my referral code to give me bonus points *shameless promotion goooo* [link]). Ez is an explorer guy and user of ranged magic energy for his attacks. He is steampunk-ish with goggles and too many belts and wears a gauntlet that is the source of his energy attacks. I made the goggles out of circle jewelry cases wrapped in foam and I tinted the lens with blue resin. I also cast a LED plush light into a halfsphere mold cast in blue pigmented silicone for the energy light and made a foam gauntlet base over a duct tape dummy of my brother's hand. I started on the jacket pattern too and have all the materials ready. I'll be posting a WIP of it in my gallery soon, but check out the project folder on my Flickr here to see what I've got so far: [link] Completion date is this month in time for whatever contest Riot puts on for Halloween.
CanineHybrid 2.0: I've been working hard on a complete overhaul redesign and rebranding of CanineHybrid Creations. My website # is still being reworked, while the new design is completed the content is still being worked on. Links may be broken and all that jazz. I moved to a new host and design platform and loving it so far. On top of that, of course I also have my webstore located at store.caninehybrid.com where you can buy all my costume-related products and what I'll be using for orders from now on. Spent about a week straight testing out different ecommerce platforms and set that whole deal up. All the designs now match up with my business cards, resume, newsletter, portfolio, commission price guide, vinyl banner, etc etc. a lot of which I haven't shown you yet. But it's spiffy and I'm pretty satisfied with it now.
YouTube Creature Costuming Panel: I have started editing the footage from the panels that
sgtknifeman and I hosted last month at Nan Desu Kan anime convention. Like the video series we did last year, I am splitting up the video into several parts to make it easier to watch and jump to specific topics. I have already spent about a week working on it: re-doing my animated logo as a high-res version that uses my new logo text, finding royalty-free music, creating and animating titles and credits, cleaning up audio, color correcting video footage, cutting and editing, inserting high-res slideshow images, and creating a new section at the end of the video that I call "afterthoughts" that includes extra relevant tips and info we didn't get to mention in the live presentation. And this is only for PART ONE of the Beginner Creature Costuming, which is about 8 minutes long out of an hour of video and I haven't touched the Advanced panel yet. Ever wonder why I don't update my YouTube channel much anymore? THIS IS WHY. It takes forever to go through the entire process, especially if it's something I have to first to pre-production planning before filming (and that can take forever to, anything from writing a script to setting camera angles and lighting). I want to release the videos as they are completed instead of releasing them together when they are all finished so you can have mini updates instead of waiting forever. I have no promises of when I'll be able to get the whole thing up but I'll aim for as soon as possible.

A-kon Convention Schedule
Posted 13 years agoI just got my Shadow Lugia fabric in the mail today so I'm working on restoring the costume in time for the convention. Keep up with the restoration progress here on my flickr: [link]
A-kon is the oldest-running anime convention in the USA held annually in Dallas, TX. I make a roadtrip out there my friends each year. The main point of this journal is to let you know what's happening A-kon weekend if you're attending so you know what to look for and when.
[CLICK HERE FOR THE SCHEDULE]
Highlights of this event calendar would include the costume meetup with flurrycat and 
ciaradragon's Minccino and Emolga suits (as well as when you can expect to see Toothless), the times you can catch Groudon out on the floor, and all the panels I am interested in attending. I'll be bringing Aerodactyl out of retirement for an appearance with BeastSoul's Kabutops too. If you're interested, go check it out. Hope to see some of you guys there! :>

Posted 13 years agoHey!
So a friend of mine,
sharpiesabre is starting up a new thing on his page. He's forming a pack of sorts- where various characters come together and be awesome. And you can get cool things like pack giftart and friends. Check it out on his journal here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3420714/
In other news, I'm focusing on working on my Theod raptor costume... a little bit of work done every week. Also gotta catch up with work on the Charizard mask soon. And I've got plenty of school and whatnot to do. Busy as always!

Free Art Raffle
Posted 13 years agoThis is to pimp out the awesome Sombra Studio who needs more art love, she has such a unique style and is extremely timely with commissions. I highly recommend her work! She just finished an adorable Theod for me and has done a chibi for me in the past too.
She's hosting her first free art raffle- one winner will be picked at the end of the week. But if you didn't win, bonus for you she's offering $5 off a future commission just for participating! So totally get all over this thing. Right now.

Also! I'm thinking about hosting one of these raffle things for myself too... they seem to be rather popular and effective. It wouldn't be for awhile because I have so much to do, but is there any interest out there at all?
and yuuuupp art school is still killing me.

Free art?
Posted 13 years agoNo, not from me. Sorry can't find the time to do that right now.
BUT! I am gonna promote, at the artist's request, their journal for contributions of possible free artness! Say hello to
Klandagi and their journal here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3234416/
Go check it out if you'd like :3

Level up! I'm 22!
Posted 14 years agoRiley has earned the achievement "being in existence for 22 years"
Woo!
It's been more than a year...
Posted 14 years ago...since I last updated my FA journal.
First off I want to promote my friend
leelee and her ASDFGHJKOMGTOOADORABLE xmas icons :DD Go to her page and check them out, only $3-5! (You know you want one)
Also My friend
gabrielle-wolf is going to be auctioning some designs of her original species, the deep space dragons. I created one a few weeks ago, named Xeron, because the dragons are super cool. And they're also an open species if you want to make one too! But if you aren't design or art savvy yourself, look out for her auctions. Info here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2897153/
As for everything else, I'm still in school. Still working at Jo~Anns. Still having zero time or motivation for tackling commissions. I haven't been terribly good with keeping up on FA but that's really changed lately... I think the appeal of quite a lot less messages greeting me when I log in and breathing down my neck has made me enjoy my time hanging out here. Still don't get as much feedback here as DA because no one noes I even exist in the furry world. Makes it very quite around here.
Now my FA and DA galleries also mirror each other, I should be better about updating them at the same time. More coolio stuff on the way. Thanks for all the recent watches and favorites guys!
I am starting to build a new Charizard head for a friend this month, I'll be kicking up Livestream again for it. In the meantime, tons of behind the scenes preparations are being made on my next personal suit that shall be revealed to you at the beginning of the year. I'm super excited for this project, more than any other one I've tackled before and will use many new techniques and materials. On top of that, it's not a Pokémon this time! I'll be including it in my graduating portfolio too if all goes according to plan so look out for details soon.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

100 Sketch Challenge Info
Posted 15 years agoCommission Status: ClosedInfo: The 100 sketch challenge is something that I'm pretty sure started here on Fur Affinity like a year ago. Basically you accept 100 headshot sketch commissions for 5 USD a pop. So that's what I'm going to be offering for the time being. It goes to a great cause: helping me pay my bills and buying costume supplies! I accept PayPal because it is delicious. But you can send cash or check if you would rather do that. You can take as many slots as you feel like, and you have the choice between digital or traditional (the original can be sent in the mail with an additional 2 USD for shipping, this option is for traditional sketches only).
Examples: (Coming soon, I'm gonna go upload them)
How To Commission:
I need you to send a note with the subject "Sketch Commission" and the following information:
•Name: (Character's name)
•Gender: (Character's gender)
•Species: (Character's species)
•References: (Visual reference/detailed written description)
•Color: (Pick a color for the sketch)
•Eye Color: (Character's eye colors. Ex: don't just say "blue", say "sky blue")
•Method of Payment: (Cash/check/Paypal -Email needed for Paypal)
•Medium: (Digital or Traditional)
•Request: (Poses, expressions, etc)
•Address: (ONLY if you want the original sent through mail)
Feel free to provide me with any additional info you feel is important. If you have questions, ask me :3 After I have approved the commission, it will be added to the queue and an invoice will be sent through Paypal if that is your payment option. I do not start working until I have received payment. You may take as many slots as you'd like and can request multiple characters together. If you request one of my original characters to be drawn, it's a discount of 50% off that headshot. I can also extend the headshot to include a bust shot for a dollar more.
I reserve all rights to deny a commission. I retain rights to copy and reproduce your commissioned image. I am not responsible for lost mail transactions.
Slots: 45/100

FAQ
Q: How did this idea come about?
A: We both came up with the concept while we were brainstroming for new icon ideas. After doing random dances in front of a camera for animation reference, Ani did such an awesometastic happy arm wiggle that we both instantly knew it had to be done! The thought of watching a loooong line of wavy chibis across the page was irresistible.
Q: This is a collaboration? How does it work?
A: When we first began the project both of us drew out concepts for our individual icons, but decided they would look more consistent if done by the same person. Because we came up with the concept together, we decided that we could split the load to get them done twice as fast: Riley takes care of the linework while Ani takes care of the coloring. We each get half of your payment. In this fashion, we were able to effectively get 12 of them done in one day, which convinced us we work well together. And best of all, we we able to enjoy working on it without getting too burned out.
Q: Can I use this icon on other websites?
A: Absolutely! The icon is yours to use wherever you may please. We only ask that you give credit to both of us when credit is due... and that you do not alter our icons for yourself or for distribution. We worked hard to develop an animated base from scratch, determine a character style, and scrutinize to achieve the most accurate and personalized details on each one. Please respect that!

Shadow Lugia will be officially started! I'll be working on constructing the head from scratch and working all day to get as far as I can. There will be no scheduled broadcasts this weekend as we're going to take our Eeveelution cosplay group to Animeland Wasabi (Saturday).
If you didn't catch me this past Sunday, don't worry you didn't miss anything. All I did was clean my room, do laundry, and get pissed off at Ustream's desktop presenter program. No progress was made on either of my costumes.
The bonus broadcast on Tuesday was spent listening to Pokemon music and drawing non-stop on Shadow Lugia's concept design which you can see here: [link]
