Okay, I've finally done it; I will be taking commissions from now until further notice. I don't think I'm good enough, but I need money desperately enough to see if someone disagrees. x_x;

If you wanna see working links and so on, please go see this instead.

Here's the info:

=======================================

Chu is cheap:

5$ for a pencil sketch, example here.

8$ for cleaner lines with little shading, example here.

10$ for pencil work like this one.

20$ for digital colors, chances are that we will collaborate with Tiuhu on these. :3
Sample here.


Currently I only accep payment via PayPal.
Also notice that if you want me to do a really complicated pic (big orgies, complex bg's... :P) I might ask a few more $ for it, but I will always tell you beforehand if that's the case, I won't give you nasty surprises. xP


Optional spices:

Add 2$ to the price if you want the original and possible sketches mailed to you.

If you want, I can ink the 8$ pic in my own special (=retarded :B) way as seen here for no additional costs, I need practise.



Do's and Won't do's:

I have practically no experience at drawing anthro- or human charecters, but we can try to collaborate these with Tiuhu, so please ask away. As for fetises, I will draw or try to draw pretty much anything, but if your commission contains scat, gore, or extreme forms of any fetish there's a chance that I won't take it, but this can be discussed.

I will keep the right to display commissioned pictures on my galleries or imageboards and so on. You can remain anonymous here if you want to, I have no problem with that. If it's absolutely not ok to display your commissioned piece anywhere, this also can be discussed, but I won't be happy about it. :P



How I work:

If I'm not familiar with the charecter(s), I might do some doodles just to get a hang of it. After I've received the details I first draw a rough sketch or sketches and show those to you so you can give me further instructions or tell me about the possible changes. I will keep you up to date troughout the process if you wish, but I can also just draw the pic if you want so. :P



Contact:

If you're interested, please email the details to chuu83@yahoo.com, or contact me with any IM if I happen to be online. Chances are that you will catch me faster with email or by dropping me a note at FurAffinity. x3

Y!: chuu83
MSN: chuuu83
AIM: chuu83
ICQ: 217629686


Also, if you're interested in buying my originals, contact me (look a little higher) and we can discuss about the details.

These are the exceptions:
If you wanna buy a pic someone else requested, I will ask a permission from the person in question before promising anything.
If you want to buy a sketch I'm considering to finish later, there is a chance that I will refuse, or you'll have to wait a bit and I will be sorry for the inconvenience. :P

I also have to admit that there are few originals that are precious to me for some reason and thus, not for sale. Ask away.

Suggesting me to draw something is still free, and I might do it if I find your idea fascinating enough. :3

=======================================

Chu lives in Northern Europe, which results in agony after waiting months longer than his American friends for new games.

So, I finally realised that DS is an area free platform, and I _could_ get the new games directly from the American Wonderland..!

So, please guide me to a good online gamestore with low shipping fees if you know any~ :3 Personal experince in ordering stuff from the world to EU and how to deal with toll fees -info would be much appreciated. x3

I have to admit that lately I have been somewhat down when it comes to drawing and creating art in general. With this journal I try not to whine about it but to ask your opinions and how you feel; is this something that bothers only me or some kind of general feeling along the artists around? x3

The problem has only developed lately, I've started to feel inferior when looking at art created by others. I've always known that there's still much to learn and I've never rated my art over average, but this is different; I somethimes see no reason to even try to hone my skills when there are so many great artists already out there.

I have no intention to blame anyone, but I have to say that the feeling is at it's worst when looking at Tiuhu's recent pics. She's already a lot better than I am, but it's not that what makes me feel so low, but the fact that half an year ago she barely had ever drawn a critter... If someone can do the things that took me over four years in little over six months, I can't help but feel ashamed. It also makes me feel like there's no reason to try to get better when my lifetime isn't enough to reach that high. *huggles his 'lil pikachu* Don't get me wrong Tiuhu, only my feel about myself have changed tho. ^^

This text does not mean that I would actually stop drawing or anything like that, I just wanted to write this out of my head. :P After all, it would be hard to quit something after almost five years, and besides I don't want to. >:3

...no, really, it was actually quite pleasant time. Or it would've been if I hadn't missed Tiuhu that much... Some may say that I've got a problem if I get depressed for not seeing my girlfriend for five days, but that's how it is. >:3

The "training" itself was almost too easy. We only had lectures 6h/day, rest was freetime. We also got to eat free, good food 4 times a day. :P

I even had some time to draw, so I will be posting some scraps during the next few days. :3

In Finland we have this thing called "general military service", which means that every male Finn has to serve from 6 to 12 months in Finnish defense forces somewhere between the ages of 18 and 35. (For females this is optional. :P)

For those who do not posses the desire to run around in woods with a rifle while being yelled at, don't like an idea of killing other human beings, or just hate the idea of an organizatition meant to kill and destroy, we have an alternative called "civil alternative service", which consists of one month of training and 12 months of working for few $ per day at schools, libraries, hospitals or other places that are supported by goverment.

The latter is what I'm going for, so I will be mostly away for the next three weeks or so. I will be able to visit home during the weekends, but I will most likely have no time (or no chances what comes to the yiffy stuff :P) to draw during that time... But let's see about that. 0:3 Anyway, now you know why you won't be hearing much about me or Tiuhu (we both use my pc, which is at my parents' place, blah blah blah) for some time. I know I will miss Tiuhu a lot during that time... :/

Anyway, see you all later. :3 *waves*

I suggest you vote, whichever you feel right.

Personally I voted for Allow; not only because I absolutely think everyone should be free to post and view whatever they want to, let's keep our right to express ourselves. :P

...but also because I've seen two many places where cute 'lil critters and such are automaticly count as cubs, which is, in my opinion, wrong wrong wrong. Yes, I'm a bit worried about my own art at FA too. �O

At least I'll try. :P I'm working from 9:00 am 'till 16:00 pm and it normally takes a long time for me to draw anything decent... (Actually I'm writing this at 2:44 am after finishing the first piece which turned out horrible, but I need to sleep a while. xP) But I will at least try my best within those restrictions. :3

The list is stolen from  touchmybadger , and she's to blame for me gettin involved to this. And it seems I dragged poor Tiuhu along with me too~<3

So:

Monday - Masturbation
* A single character pressing their own buttons
-Done

Tuesday - Girl on Girl
* A lesbian couple in the heat of the moment
-Done

Wednesday - Guy on Guy
* A boy couple getting yiffy
-Sketched (I'm late, I know... x_o)

Thursday - Hetro-sex
* Boy meets girl.. you know the rest
-Sketched

Friday - Orgy antics
* Group sex involving multiple characters (more than two)
-Sketched

Saturday - Props and playthings
* Sex involving toys (may include bondage gear, vibrators, or anything else)

Sunday - Kinky as you can
* Think tentacles, robots, whatever pushes you beyond your comfort zone!

Edit: This doesn't look too good, I just haven't been able to finish anything since the second pic... x_o But I'll try my best to do the pics, even though they are and probably will be late. Sorry.

Sorry for posting scrap like this, but this time I really want to. :P

So. It seems not so long ago when I got my first cell phone (Nokia 3210), and here I am writing a journal with my new E70 at Tiuhu's place. Technology sure is amazing. I sometimes think that even if I had no better reason to live, I could always go on just see all the new stuff coming out. =3~

I've decided to put my originals up for sale. If you're interested, email to me (chuu83@yahoo.com) for details. Notice that all the originals in my other galleries are for sale too... As for those pics that are requested by others, you can make an offer, but will ask a permission from the one who ordered it before promising anything. x3

I'd also love to hear your opinions; am I skilled enough to draw commissions? I'm unsure about that and I wouldn't even ask, but I need money... I know I won't get much by drawing anyway, but I need it. ^^;


Edit: I have no idea about the prices, those of you who have experience in this, I would really appreciate some advice.

I don't really know why I'm doing this, I already know that I can be awfully stupid sometimes... :P Also, I don't usually even write journals, so what is going on..!? o_O

Ok, I don't usually write journals, but this is newsworthy. :P

So, I spent the last ten days outside my home for a change, visiting MStuarn and cuteEevee in Austria and Germany. (+ Italy and Switzerland we visited together.) It was the first time I travelled outside Scandinavia, and one of the best vacations I've ever had for sure. :3 I love experiencing , seeing and trying out new stuff, and this trip contained loads of that. But the absolutely best thing was meeting Vee and Stuarn irl; I miss you guys already. Yes, I know you're readig this..! :P

Since most interesting facts of the trip have already been told by Stuarn and Vee on their journals "http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/20725/" and "http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/20726/", I will only have a few opinions to add:

-Those two can be very cute too, even tho they will try to deny it. Just look at them sleeping, for an example. :3
-Road tolls really grind my gears. Vee and Stuarn both already mentioned those, but it needs to be emphasized. Grr.
-Finnish rollercoaster are harcore, but don't look as good as those in Europark. ;P
-Vee and Stuarn sound extremely funny while trying to read finnish text. Well, cute too, I have to admit. ;)
-Yes, we should have gotten that polar bear. Drat. :P

Also:
-Getting to the airport only ~50 minutes before the plane departs is a good way to avoid carrying your bags on your way home from the destination airport, if you know what I mean. xP
-The biggest culture shock I've ever experienced was my return to Finland. Everyone I met during the trip were polite and kind, while the first finnish words I heard after returning were swearing, finns on the airport were aggressive, and youth in the train I took back to home were drunken. Shame on us. :/

I loved the trip and I look forward to my next visit! :3

Oh. One more interesting 'lil fact to add; five of my seven mice had somehow managed to escape from their terrarium while I was away... There must be something evil behing that, the terrarium is solid glass and even the cover is heavy.. oo! Anyway, all of them are still alive and well, found four of them so far, one is still somewhere, hopefully not gnawing my computer wires or stuff... >_>

...to all those who decided to add me on their watchlist or comment my pics. ^^

I'm afraid that at this point I'm far too lazy to thank you all personally, even though you would definitely deserve that, so I decided to at least say it to all of you at once. ^^; *bows*
