so since i'm so close to done with my sketches and i need to start making moneys for Rent (and also i am super hungry atm)
i've decided to go ahead and open up for $15 colored bust sketches. they'll be like these: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17531444/

open like, 10 slots for now...?

yeah.
these are super easy and i'll do them when the other sketches i owe are done :3

semi-realistic style.

just fill this out here:

1 or 2 characters?
Ref:
expression:
what kind of animal? (if not a real animal, let me know what the closest face base is?)

slots:
1. Ryokowolf -paid -done
2. Mannoth- paid -done
3. saberleo -paid -done

danke!

i am down to about 5 larger commissions to sketch before i get to focus on inking and coloring everything i owe.
I'm going to be double checking everything once i've finished the stuff on the list to make sure i have gotten everyone.

that being said, it'll be just in time for me to have to make rent -sarcastic yippee-

but with support from you guys i know i'm gonna be able to finish this list fairly soon :D

anyways, i just wanted to squee about my progress >_>

if you got art from me, and it isn't a warmup, and it IS NOT on this list: https://trello.com/b/ZKfCKSou/darkomi-commissions

please let me know via NOTES so that i can get your sketch done this month.

https://picarto.tv/Rinrini
friend really needs to make money thanks to an issue with her bank.
come give her a look! we'll be doing some collaborative YCH stuff a little later too :3

starts at $10

so if you haven't been watching my trello, i've gotten a good chunk of art sketched out and i'm hoping to finish 2 other pieces (like, actually done finish) and then move back on to sketching.

so to keep my hands in the 'mindset' of sketching, i want to take a few more warmup style sketches to help me loosen up before i get to work on some more of my big bad commissions :3

i have 4 slots open for sketches.
can be flat colored.

$25 for just the sketch, $35 for a sketch with flat colors on it:
Examples:

1.   Sonic71
2.   Finwolfsky
3.   Xiaowolf
4.   eonfurioso

thanks guys!

-Trello Queue: https://trello.com/b/ZKfCKSou/darkomi-commissions -
i may be able to manage 3 commissions tonight actually >3> -strives for 3 but is okay with 2-

i am like, $4 short to be able to pay my phone bill XD
does anyone want a sketch bust for $10 before i stream some bigger commission sketches? http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17531444/

i'm going to take 2 sketches to be done later this week (just not today cause i have work plans for today already)
$25, would prefer money today as i have to get rent in today and i want to make sure i have extra just in case i miscalculated anything (since i had to pick up allergy pills today cause Rae was vomiting from coughing so much)
Examples of sketch quality: https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/.....3437564594.png


anyways, there is that, and also my bestie is doing cool adopts again: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18143809/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18143809/
it's booze themed, and i believe you get to choose what animal you want it to be? o3o anyways it's worth checking out!

:V for those who already celebrated and those about to celebrate the spookfest.

I am announcing now that i will not have all of my halloween stuff done by the end of tomorrow.
shading takes far too long and i have 2 pieces ready for shading, 1 needs to have flats finished, and another still needs to be inked.

so Nightmares will be late this year .n. i am sorry, but i'll have them done in the next few days.

Thanks for everyone who bought stuff from me!
I still have a few spots open for Straggler icons and they'll be closed on the first.

you can find those here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7138455/

and my friend and Fiance have one collab YCH still open: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18106597/

ANYWAYS I'M OFF TO BED. will post a fancy commission tomorrow for Halloween 83
Enjoy your candy!

https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1.....ab-please-look
it's $40 flat sale.
funds will be going to rent/energy/phone bills.
PLEAASEEE take a look! and if you don't have a weasyl you can find it here too: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18101098/

and also one here http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18101169/

gonna take 5 more monster icons that will be completed AFTER the month of October is already over. I already have my Halloween Queue full up til the end of October so if you want one of these and you don't mind that you won't get it in time for october, but you want it at the discounted price ($30). Now is your opportunity.

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
(I already have one in queue that will be done before these 5, which brings me to a total of 6, gives me a nice, even posting number)

payment is due before the 1st to count for the discount (in part because i need to make rent before then, or it'd be nice to make rent before then anyways)
Examples: http://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/...../25920/Monster

so! hit me up if you're interested! :D

So, Rent is coming up, Rae and I both need to make up our parts of rent and i've been admittedly putting it off and putting it off and putting it off, and i'm going to put it off one more time, but for now, you can pick up art from Rae by checking http://symphonicdesigns.weebly.com/digital.html

and also Rae is still honoring these porn commissions on discount: https://www.weasyl.com/journal/93620/adult-things

You can read more about updates on Rae's side here: https://www.weasyl.com/journal/9689.....us-commissions


I WILL BE OPENING UP A STRAGGLERS BATCH FOR MONSTER ICONS in a day or 2. Unfortunately they will not be done before Halloween because my current list for the holiday is a bit excessive already and I want to try to finish what i have before then.
They will be finished next month however, and you will be able to buy them for the October price of $30 instead of $35

KEEP IN MIND THAT BUYING ART FROM RAE HELPS ME LOADS TOO.
it helps me focus on my current stuff better because i have less money to make up for Rae's side, so any and all help is really appreciated.

one day i'll have a proper halloween Icon too.... :O

i posted the Witch and Pornstar Pirate auction last night.
there's only one hour left on that so if you were interested you may want to go place your bids!
they're still pretty low right now: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17757799/

ALSO
we made it to our goal, we'll be at Rainfurrest on Friday 8D

THAT REMINDS ME THOUGH, if you guys are going to Rainfurrest and i've done traditional art for you, i can bring it! just let me know! i'm brinigng my big commission sketch books so i should have them with me .A.
or if i've done any art for you where i sent you a traditional WIP that works too.

It'd have been from a few years back, i've almost completely moved to digital recently so X'D

i wanna see me at rainfurrest, but there's kind of an issue of money.

no no i'm not taking on more commissions for Rainfurrest, but i'll be opening for Rent comm's soon.

however!
if you'd like to see me at Rainfurrest you can still commission my fiance, they still have 3 slots available for PWYW commissions starting at $15

and you can also find bigger art prices here http://symphonicdesigns.weebly.com/
Email them at Raecarmicheal[at]gmail.com to get a quote for anything :D

i'm not going to say no to donations either but i'm not going to expect any. :P

anyways, we probably wont' get much interest but all we'd have to make is $200 ish for the trip up there (thanks to Kuraiscreatures for offering to drive us up there from where she's at ;D)
and then we need to make sure we make enough for rent (which is $300 each. I already have $100 of that made so i'm sure that won't take much longer to accumulate)

actually i guess 3 would make it a multistream not a dual. hurrhurr

https://picarto.tv/Darkomiarts
i'm multi streaming with my fiance and a friend.

they're both offering PWYW commissions and i'm finishing up owed artwork :3
feel free to come join us, i'm on mic but i'm super quiet usually so if you have questions i will respond vocally unless you state that your volume is off.

Ubi has music playing on their stream.

i super suggest doing so, it's a great insight into what full-time artists do on a daily basis.

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7045068/

just some food for thought really :3

i will be away from computers and technology from Friday the 18th to late Sunday the 20th.

will be up camping with my mom (we do this pretty much every year, its our 'girl tiem' together and i don't pass up time spending with my mom xD)

SO with that said, I'll probably leave my laptop at home. there are places to plug in up at the place we'll be going, but i never end up having enough time to sit down and actually work on my laptop. so i'll try to get some traditional art done, maybe some background studies or something. stuff i need to practice, and when i get back i'll probably do an upload spree.

but yeah, wanted to give a heads up to everyone about it.

If i haven't started your art yet and you actually want me to try and work on it on paper first, let me know and i'll see if i can get something done. (finished project will probably still be digital unless we discussed traditional already)

BUT YEH.
-rolls out to work on commissions til then!-

it's a more creative title than what i usually put okay?
and i did get my hair did D<

but i spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday taking the day off to spend time with my fiance and get some GW2 playing and personal stuff worked on, Monday i ended up taking the day off to do house chores and shopping with my mom, and yesterday i was able to get a good chunk of work done :3

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up, if you want to see how my progress is going, i've been uploading things to Patreon (you don't need to be paying to see a good chunk of them)
I'm still working on fixing all the information on there, but if you want to support me already you're more than welcome to.

if you want to throw some input my way, i'm also open to that.
What works for you? What doesn't work for you? What do you care about, and don't you care about?

YOU CAN FIND MY PATREON HERE https://www.patreon.com/Darkomi?ty=h

thats it for now, but if you have a Picarto too i'd advise stalking me on it, i try to stream often-ish but i'm not always geared to post on every website (i don't like flooding my FA cause i feel like if you watch a lot of artists its already getting flooded? idk xD)
https://picarto.tv/Darkomiarts

so i just barely scratched up what i needed for rent today, anything else in progress here goes to food, but   Ryunwoofie needs some help with their rent and her stuff is seriously worth it: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7011912/ go take a look here to get your slot, she'll be streaming all night til she gets what she needs. lets make sure she can get a little bit of sleep too, yeah?

THANKS FOR ALL OF THE SUPPORT YOU GUYS I know paychecks haven't all come in yet, but seriously, you guys rock.

So i've been fighting myself over how to offer commissions today/ this week. We have 2 days to get the money together for rent and 1 day after that to get it to my bank and off to the office.
SO that brings me to how much we have left.

Stream will be here: https://picarto.tv/Darkomiarts

we need $282 USD more.
Rae is STILL open for discounted porn commissions here: https://www.weasyl.com/journal/9369.....hree-days-left
you can find more examples on their site here: http://symphonicdesigns.weebly.com/digital.html
There is NO porn examples on that site currently, thus the discount prices.

Now, as for the stream, i will be streaming art today until i get sick of it, or I make what i need for rent.

Now the question is, what are you guys interested in me offering today?
More busts? ($15)
fullbody/fullcolor sketches? ($45)
fullbody/fullcolor commissions in general? ($60)

If we go with fullbody full color commissions, i will be taking as many as i can sketch tonight in stream and i'll move onto the inking and coloring another day.
So i'm thinking maybe i'll take 2 fullbody fullcolored commissions, and 3 full color sketches and the rest i'll make on busts?

so
Full color commissions:
1.
2.

Fully colored sketch commissions:
1.
2.
3.

Busts:
1.   Fatedarkstar -finished
2.
3.
4.

(this also gives me a little bit of a buffer to maybe pick up some food or pay other bills later this month)


My fiance needs examples for their website and is doing porn commissions at a really fabulous discounted price.

you can find the information here: https://www.weasyl.com/journal/93620/adult-things

and you can email them at RaeCarmicheal[at]gmail.com to make a request.

These will help loads with rent, and will help Rae get their website fixed up, and we'd both be super duper appreciative if you'd check it out and spread the word.

thank you!

i mean sketches.

SO.
cause last month was so baffling for me, i need to come up with enough to cover my net bill this month.
4 $25 sketches will cover it and also give me a bit of extra cash for other bills.

these will be worked on tonight and tomorrow night between my larger queue.

just trying to avoid getting my net shut down (since that's sort of how i keep in touch with all of you folks ahoho)

so all help is super appreciated.
i can also add flats to the art and bump the price up to $30 instead. T3T its a bit of a discount.

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16455345/ skeetch
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17078159/ flats

1.   Kiese -done

Eventually..

I GUESS.
I SHOULD PROBABLY UPDATE THE ART THAT I'VE DONE SO FAR ONTO MY FA.
but i also need to keep working.
HMMM
should i make you all wait?
omai
i'm so bad.

unless ya'll want to go check it out on my patreon i guess i'll just wait til i have a little more done. -rolls off to drink coffee and art like a boss-

*GURGLES*
*working*
*MORE GURGLES*

I'm gonna finish my last bust tonight and post those to their owners and my twitter.
I have space on the page for 3 more of those if anyone is interested, they'll be $25.


But i do seriously need to contribute something to rent this month, as much as i wish my roomate could take over for a single month for me, it just won't happen on one paycheck since she'll be paying for Rae's part of rent this time (there is no way i am making $600+ in the next 2 days without accumulating a mighty terrifying queue)

I just need to make $300 this month.

i'm gonna try to finish up some of the colored sketches tonight too, but i was wondering if anyone wanted a warmup sketch for, you guessed it, $25? x'D

it won't be colored, i don't have time for that, but it'll be something like this: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16682841/ or http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12711817/


other than this, if there's anything else you guys are interested that i'm not offering, i'm open to suggestions, just know that stuff bigger than this could take some time to finish since i have a pretty big queue on my larger commissions (mostly refsheets at this point) but i'll be working really hard on getting them to a point where they won't take long to finish.

I just... really need help again @_@; sorry i can't just wait til my queue is done, i'd be ecstatic if i could XuX;

gonna vent a little cause my stupid laptop decided to cut me off twice today.

I plan on finishing the bust sketches tonight (hopefully) but i lost about an hour or two worth of work now because i had to move from my laptop back to my desktop because my laptop has decided that it likes to crash suddenly.

like.... it was working perfectly this week and now it's fucked to hell.
i lost progress on a bust (inks+flats and then some on the second bust i was working on)
and i am soooo annoyed cause i have inked this bust 3 times now. T_T


so sorry if those take a little longer. i wasn't expecting this issue.


***
on the upside though i guess that means i can finally finish a few ref sheets since i'm on a computer that actually lets me open photoshop.
so, yay progress of some sort! XD
