WORKING LIST

I had a horrible nightmare the night before last about getting this big apartment but needing to share it with horrible horrible people and the landlord jumped the rent to $1k and it was just me paying it on my 28hrs a week and FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFML. :< and the dream popped up after announcing to Draco's fam that we're moving out in September.

NO HORRIBLE APARTMENTS PLZ!

*collapses and whines*

Anybody else have bad dreams about their living situations? Feeling like crap about this, man.

[EDIT 2] GODDAMMIT THIS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sknDfB3pJB8 Mika, i <3 u.

[EDIT] All sets are now posted!

I've got a whole metric shit-ton of these things, mostly recent, but a few oldies. Anyone interested if I made a list here w/ cheap prices?

It's a big mix of sets, and I've got a pretty good pile of Holos. I'll come up with a list in the morning and post it here. They won't be more than $2-3 each, for holos. prolly $1 for rev holos and i'm not sure it's even worth posting all the uncommons and commons.

also got some japanese ones. :3

i'm so stuck on this song right now.

HEY LISTEN!

EDIT: NOW ONLY $5! $8 wasn't moving them much, so here's a shot at lowering them.

Yeah so I keep seeing these crop up here and there and I got to thinkin. It's a lovely cool down from working on commissions, and I figured someone else could give them a good home. I love coming up with patterns and colorschemes, but I'm not interested in the hassle of fleshing them out as characters.

So here's the dealy. I'll come up with these once in a while, as one-shots instead of pages of multiples, and post 'em in my gallery, then keep a running tally here of who's available and who's been purchased. A link here will show up with every new one posted. The species and colors will vary from Adoptable to Adoptable, but they will all have a front and back view and tail view.

The cost is $8 $5 USD each, Paypal only. I made the price a little higher than usual and for a reason. The price gets you not only the sole use of the character, but also the image they appear in to be used as a ref sheet. The buyer will be emailed the 200dpi PSD file after payment.

To Purchase: comment HERE ON THIS JOURNAL with the name of the Adoptable you want (if available) and the Paypal address you want invoiced. FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. and needless to say, only one owner per Adoptable.

AVAILABLE ADOPTABLES
Adobe - fennec SOLD

NOTE: These cannot be commissioned at this time. These are just done on my free time and available when I feel like making them. Thanks for understanding. Totally making commission an option now. Commissioned ones are $8 - you pick species and a color suggestion, and i'll do the rest!

ALSO: these are only available here @ FA! feel special. :D

EDIT - should i lower the price or something? these aren't moving at all...

Okay so here goes. I'm SO sorry for the delay in getting these out. my 9-5 ran my ass into the ground and i couldn't get more than a couple sketches started. BUT THERE BE GOOD NEWS!

I'M ON VACATION!

so that means no working stupid hours, no crazy customers making me mental and exhausted!

EVERYTHING will be done by Saturday April 17th. EVERYTHING.

I do have to go up to Maine to see my folks for the next few days, but I'm hoping Draco can bring her laptop so I can get a bit done up there. The bulk of the work will get finished from like Wednesday on. So look forward to things getting posted up starting Weds!

<3 i love you all and i really appreciate all the help you've given me. hope your weekend is fabulous!

http://eyeplusfork.wordpress.com/

I'm so excited. I've finally gotten around to getting a blog up and running. and the best part is, wordpress lets you make additional pages, so i'm gonna turn this into my unofficial website (complete with an unofficial mascot!). artwork'll only get posted when i talk about it, but there's a link to my portfolio, shop and DA account right on the front page. yay! so come subscribe, link me, comment - do something to let me know you've checked it out! and spread the word!

imma promise i'll update this one more than my LJ LOL

A Note to my Clients:

I've finally gotten myself out of whatever horrible commission block i had going down. Really, I've no idea what was going on, I just had a hard time working. But I've gotten out of it and here I go again!

COMMISSIONS ARE CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. I need to take care of what I owe first.


WORKING LIST

[1] JumpingJackFlash - 1 pinup - plotting - waiting for contact
[2] DoubleFurrels - 2 char Halloween FC soon! will start while waiting for JJF

Thanks so much for your patience. If anyone does want a refund, please don't hesitate to Note me about it. THEY WILL BE FINISHED, I'm not throwing in the towel, but if anyone feels they've waited long enough (and i haven't already put work into it - this will be discussed in notes), I totally understand.

<3 KOU

jesus. i haven't been on here in ages. just moved down to NH finally YAY! living with my BFF and her fam til we can find an apartment. getting back into working on commissions - very sorry for the delay! adjusting was a pain.

so i'll be updating the working lists and such, but sadly no more commissions til i finish what i have on my plate (which sucks cuz i need cash now. oh well.)

<3 you guys! thanks for the infinite patience you all have. so much love for it.

Bigcartel can bit me. That being said, allow me to introduce my new Etsy account.

EYE + FORK

I have prints and original art for sale right now, plus a sticker. I'm trying to figure out keychains and cell phone charms too, and more stickers, so keep an eye out.

So drop by, have a look, maybe even buy a print or two! and of course stay tuned for more stuff as i go!

<3 KOU

SO! I've thought long and hard about it, and have gotten through my big commission, so i have some spaces opened up. And i believe i promised two options on sale this month.

It's time to get dolled up for Halloween!

+

FIRST OPTION:

HALLOWEEN ICON! $8

Price covers full color, NO BG, single character - sorry, no second-character option.

BUNDLE BARGAIN! 3 set for $20! Nab some for your friends!


SECOND OPTION:

HALLOWEEN FULL-COLOR DIGITAL! $25!

Price covers full-color digital, NO BG, single character - additional characters are $5/character. Backgrounds are $10 extra (sorry, that's not on sale).

Sorry guys but i'm taking September off the monthly commission sale list. I took on more than expected last month and i'm still working through it. that just means I'll have two sales going on next month to make up for it. there'll be a regular option and a Halloween option, so look forward to that!

I apologize for the wait for some of my commissioners. it's taking longer than i'd planned, but I AM working diligently, and I'm determined to keep everyone in the loop. Please check the Working List to see my progress.

Thank you!

Hey all! Just writing to let my commissioners know that I'm off on a quicky vacation the next state over. I won't have access to my laptop at all, and limited access to the intarwebs in general. So please don't be alarmed if I disappear til Tuesday.

Also, Marmelmm, I do have two of your sketches done, as promised. I've just been having a terrible time getting my laptop to play nice long enough to let me get to them. Fear not! I will keep you posted, and in the meantime, I'll just work on the others in pencil over the weekend. Dilligence!

Also, the new September Sale will be posted when i get back. :3 Thanks!

SO i need to come up with a new sale for September? anyone got suggestions? any commissions you'd like to see go on sale? because i'm stupid and blocked for plans while i finish August's commissions.

i really wanna do keychains, but i can't decide how i want to do them..

also, for those of you who are also on y-gallery (cuz i don't think you can vote if you're not a member), here's A POLL. wish we could do polls here - that'd be keen.

[UPDATE] Adjustments have been made. Nothing too drastic. have a looksee

THIS WILL NOT AFFECT PRICES FOR CURRENT COMMISSIONERS.

I've been in conversations with a few people on artists_beware (don't worry i'm not reporting anyone, this happened in another person's post), regarding my prices. and it's been brought to my attention that i am cheap. not horrifically, but to where i could be making a little bit more for the quality/skills i have. this has come from several different people.

so i'm considering raising my prices a little. not all of them, but some of the bigger projects. and none of them more that $10 at most. later tonight I'll be adjusting them, then I'll link here and see what you think.

part of my problem is I rarely get to commission people myself, and i usually don't pay attention to other people's prices. and when i think about how long it actually takes me to do some things, compared to the number of hours the price allots me (example: $30 = 3 hours at $10/hr), i'm seriously undercutting myself.

i'm not sure. this is more of a test than anything really. i've just seen a lot of artists who are about my level charging a lot more and i kinda went HMM, and inquired about it to others.

so yeah, stay tuned.

and still pimping Silvie here!

Silverleen @ DA
Silverleen @ Y!Gal

Seriously. She's friggin AMAZING! people aren't falling over themselves to commission her though, and it's a damn shame. SO GO SHOW HER SOME LOVE! SHOO!

*hugs the Silvs*

CAN I JUST SAY HOW MUCH I LOVE  diamondslaughter? CAN I? CUZ I DO. A LOT.

VestigeWorks can go fuck himself with a rusty pinecone.

i feel a TON better now. and so loved. <3<3<3

What is it that makes clients think they can take advantage of artists? I'm REALLY getting sick of it. I ask for payment UP FRONT for a reason. I'm tired of getting screwed out of money. I don't have the time or energy or financial means to be okay with free art, not like this.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND we're all up to snuff now! *drags self off to get more work done now.

thanks for your patience, guys!

Sorry for the flooding. I just wanna catch up ASAP so i can post recent works. I'm very order-oriented, just so I don't get a headache from sorting. Not much longer now, I promise.

<3 thanks for putting up with me.

and thank you so much everyone for all the faves and watches! i'm super flattered and appreciative. :3

[PRINTS]

Shipping is $3 US First Class/$5 International, in no-bend photo envelopes via USPS.

+

[PAYMENT/TOS]

PAYPAL ONLY. Cash/Money Orders are no longer accepted, with my apologies.

I primarily request payment up front - if you are uncomfortable with this, I will do 50% upfront and 50% when finished. Please specify if you would prefer the 50%-50% when you place the order, otherwise I will expect payment in full.

Paypal: eyeplusfork@gmail.com

Please note me with your initial order/inquiry. We can work out details through AIM or MSN messenger. I prefer working things through "face to face" so there are no misunderstandings (and it's a lot faster).

Major edits are free up to 3 before inking stage. Edits to lineart AFTER the inking stage, or past 3 in the sketch stage are $5 each. Please, to prevent this, be as specific as possible before the start of the commission. I always have the client check over the sketch before the inking stage for confirmation. (changing colors digitally, however, does not warrant this charge.)

I reserve the right to refuse work for anyone who abuses or harasses me - or anyone at all, but especially abusers.

I reserve the right to not do fetishes I am uncomfortable with. These include, but are not limited to: scat/watersports, vore, MATURE shota/loli, extreme guro and bestiality. If you have a particular fetish I have not listed and are unsure, please feel free to ask me first - there's really very little I will not do under any circumstances.

I am willing to try buildings/cars/guns/etc, but please be understanding that this is not my forte and I will try my best.

Thank you!

Well look who came back. I was on here a while ago. Eons. Lurked for a bit. Decided to come slinking back. Mostly in hopes of commission work. Money is needed if I plan to move back to NH in January. :3 So for a bit, I'll be reposting a few older pieces to catch up with. Just a select few. The rest of my crap can be seen on my DA page, for anyone's curiosity.

I'm really anxious to get back to work. And I've missed it here. A lot of awesome artists, a few I know from elsewhere!

Batten down the hatches, boys. I'm back.
