Thought to open the gates for anyone who wants to talk to me, therefore an existing ICQ number was given to you under my profile ID picture.

Take it as a Main Lobby. However I can not guarantee to everyone I can keep up with anyone at the same time, so if I'm slow to respond, please be patient(I might be distracted with RL and online difficulties handling multiple people, you know I have a life as well), as I'm trying to be patient with the Art Trades that people owe me as well. =P

EDIT:

Since the survey made it clear that people gave up hope over ICQ, so did I, I think I should stick to msn in this case. :/

Just a demotivational prep for you guys about what happened today.

I just checked my PayPal account and what I saw a 100 euro from a former comissioner who I remember we've been discussing things that I should do things for him, but I Haven't accepted anything YET. He still somehow thinks I'm up for it and this is what makes me angry and totally upset by pushing me the money and expecting to have it done.

Dear everyone,

If I ever happen to see Again pushing the whole amount previously I'd ask in the future for each of my comission, to me without my permission or without from my approval sign of "ok, I'll do it", that will be probably the best way to get a rise out of me.

Thank you.

*off to rage*

Decision was made from the previous journal comments/suggestions. I'd like to stay fair and since I can't decide who should I give my last remaining place in the next upcoming batch, I'd say now:
"Let the fate decide!"

What I'm going to do is taking my D20 (20 sided Dice) and I'll roll with it.

All you have to do is leave a comment here with a number in an intervallum of (1;20), this sadly mean after an amount of 20 participants I can't promise anything good right now. :(

A quick answer to your question about why I'd just open only one slot from my next batch of round this time if because I've promised someone that they could enter and one of them have been waiting for it for a long time, and the other one helped me out of comission-due issues and I wouldn't like to leave it without any gratitude.

From my time zone it's midday (12:00) and the raffle entries may start Now. Deadline is 2012. april 13. 24:00 CET

Entries:


EDIT: - is the Raffle winner. Proof: http://www.livestream.com/corvitek/.....edium=ui-thumb

EDIT/IMPORTANT: I'll try organize a webcam livestream to show how the dice is being rolled and what number can be saw.

However the latest batch of comissioning slots are complete already I'm in a dilemma, and it's because a lot of people were asking me to provide them a pre-booked slot for them. After a while it kept going too much and I say it's not the way I'd like to keep the queue up. This is chaos already.

1. -Personally I think the first-come-first-take system is a bullshit and a lame system. Lurkers takes advantage out of it, and I don't like it, since I can feel the same problem because once I wanted something so bad and couldn't get myself into the line because some wealthy-enough someone already took my place, and it kept going forever. I want to do justice and equally fair handling.

2. -If I'd check foreign comissioners have already taken a slot from me may not enter again in the next one, would be somewhat unfair. and drama-potentially risky.

3. -Considering taking comissions only by checking how creative the idea/character/whatever is yet a bit risky factor again.

So, Brainstorming time. Throw your ideas!
I guess...

Perhaps I might overload myself with these duties, but I'll give it a chance now.

OK, Here are my offers:
Linearted-coloured-shaded-half_way_textured Single character pictures.
Examples:
Fidil
Celathys
Jack, the Crux
Valerie
Valence

-Available slots from now: 0 (zero)
-Only Single character shots per comission.
-No background
-Blacklisted contents: diapers, ponies

How much each can charge: from 30 EUR up to 50 EUR (in USD it means 40 to 65)
I can accept PayPal, AlertPay, and direct Bank Transfer

What I expect from you:
-Check your e-mails at least once a week
-Cooperativity
-Be honest if you don't like something in it during the sketch phases. (I might whine/complain, but at least doing the goal)
-Once the sketch was finished, I'd like you to prepare a part of the charge I'll ask from you.

Taken Slots:

I've been thinking.

Would you be still interested in comissions if I'll be offering you badges be made in digital?

Since our printer worn out and had to buy an older one, that one is just crappy when it comes to colours, the lines are all messed up and can't really do anything about it even if we've been trying to clean the projector heads. That thing is a liar because at the maintenance printings does everything fine, but when it just do the same crap.

Thus I can't guarantee you printing it to its maximum awesomeness quality, however I could still offer you the laminating for free. So this part is a no go from my side.
Having it printed and laminated would be mostly up to you, I'm sorry. :(

If not for badges, I think I can still offer 1 character shot without any background strictly in a somewhat linearted style.

What do you think?

If I was so kind with them, I'd just say "I hope you step onto a LEGO",
<rant>
but the damage they've done to all my HARDLY farmed items they stole I rather say
"I hope you'll suffer in a Terminal Cancer to the rest of your life along with thousands of unbearable pains and loose your genital next to all of your eyeballs being suddenly explode out from your holes where they are."
</rant>

Dear artists,

I'm Seriously asking you all in a rhetorical question. (No need to answer)
Which is more important to you? Greens(Comissions) or Goodwill Values(Art Trades)?

For those who would have questions why I'm asking it: You know the answer, just keep it to yourself when you figure it out.

Godspeed.

Since I heard this issue about SOPA/PIPA are swarming around people, I have to admit, I do agree with people who are against these SOPA/PIPA, nevertheless since this is not really my business by not offering an opportunity to protest by mail with a senator or whoever it is, though I would have participed into this petition, just so you know, guys.

"Imagine a World Without Free Knowledge" - Wikipedia
this shocked me highly.

Imagine internet inhibition in China... now imagine our world all with around those inhibitions. Internet will loose all its sense.

Ok, I've been thinking to let it know in public or not, but this worth a try at least.

I would like to do Art Trade with artists who has the same quality I put out of my paws and I've been trying to search some, even asked some, but still no replies, the other ones got asked recently, so it's pretty early to expect any response in return.

Honestly I realized that I'm having a hunger/curiousity to see how other people would draw my fursona/feathersona and to be fair instead of launching drama being an Art-Whore and whining for free stuff, so I would rather like to know if there's anyone who you would find worthy enough, to be recommended for me.

I will decide the rest of its part if it's okay.

So please suggest me artists who are free of duties and has a reliable and somewhat decent duration of process. I don't want to spend years to wait up for them. (There were examples for those cases, Even NOW!)

I keep seeing people stating their wishlist on their own userpages here on FA, or at many other places. I'm not really sure what's this about but the title must be telling something which rings a bell, so I might try my own luck too. :)

What I would like to get?

-My Art Trades / Collab done who still owe me their part. -Because it would be nice, and additionally I admit I would really like to see my fursona drawn by YOU.
-Better brain/knowledge to understand the basics of programming and their tricks finally.
-Get a well paid job.

I think they are all fine and fair.

Just to let you know guys what I'm working on recently.

COMISSIONS: Closed
Art Trades: Closed

Reminder: I won't accept any further order from anyone right now till I close this session, because stacking up orders as duties won't work. I need to finish these session first. Not to mention finals are near to me.
"-But I really want to comission you!"
-I'm sorry, not this time. :( Perhaps I can recommend you other artist who is eagerly taking comissions and completely open?

Disclaimer: I don't want to do reference sheets anymore, because last time it took a lot time till I could actually finish it or maybe I asked too few for its price in exchange. I'm not sure, I might rethink the price and time I take into them.

Pixelmator developed into a good way, however taking the ideas of Photoshop, it becomes more usable and they've implemented things I missed much such as Smudge, Pen tool and what I must be missing.

I am happy. :>

The only contra I can bring up to this tidy little software is I still miss the function when you hit the F key, you can enter full canvas spread to screen and you could drag it outside of the screen's border. :/

I've been thinking and I believe this worth be shared with you

What does it mean to be well known:
-Fame
-Lots of fan art to you
-Lots of stress
-People who admire you
-People who envy you(by your skills)

Just sayin...

Can I get my Cpt. Obvious rank now?

This is what has been missed from my life!
http://vimeo.com/23031952
Perhaps after years, ...decades I might try something similar <.<

I thought this would be interesting to you too guys.

When I was checking the submissions and found Sefeiren's newest one, I just stopped breathing and didn't want to believe the title and description's referring.
As you could hear about the rumors, they're right. Another great artist vanished and headed his way to our memories forever.
He was Athus.

Forgive me if I fails at some sentences, and I might not have any better skill of offering my condolences toward him, but that's what I feel, even though I didn't know him by person. Honestly, I wish I could know him more than an artist. And I'm in shame for that missing the opportunity.
I believe he deserves a tribute for now.

-What you have done to us will not be forgotten, what you have share with us will not be lost. Thank you for all your kindness which we will miss to the rest of our life!

However I know what happened, can not be turned back, my mind still fights with a constant disbelief with the truth.

Ég veled... :(

I thought I give them a try face their resemblences together :) http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c.....semblances.jpg

Personal note: Brand is still an OP shit.

Well then indeed I can fly...

So once I had it because I wanted to have an alternative solution next to Photoshop CS3 on my artworks, I'm still wondering if it will be worth used without disappointment.

The facts I'm afraid of and would not like to see them happen when I'm half done with a .pxm project file:
- 4 GB DDR3 Memory get flooded to its roof
-layer masks get messed up in a .psd file as a .pxm alternate

If any of them occurs, I have to switch back to Photoshop again which is the most stable so far and didn't do any of these ever, and if I have to do it, then it will surely cause some stress and get me thinking half of my work have gone in vain.

Anyone has some positive experience about this recently released Pixelmator 1.6.7 Nucleus(6456)?

[till any further feedback I'll fieldtest it as beta if I do say so =P]

40 Euro for a toony one like this
50 Euro for a somewhat linearted like this and this for instance.
With additionaly character they're approximately +10 Euro but I suggest you to discuss it with me for accurate informations.

Realistic ones are out of wish chances, they take too much effort and additionally people would less likely spend 80-90 or at most 100 Euro for the one like I did here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5997679

If you really want me to do your rainbow designed fursona/cetasona/Idontcarewhatelse in all realistic, or even in reference sheet, just forget it, I'm not your man then, I'm sorry.
Pushing the original result out from my paws to you by an excuse you are broke financially, but you want to show around the picture so bad, you may get a shrinked version of it with a watermark on it, and some fancy design. I'm sorry, but ever since a certain 1 year delay paying issue I don't trust anyone any-more.

Before I start get mad, and feel myself betrayed, I'm curious to hear your guesses about:

What would you do if you had done with comissions, all recepients got what they asked for MONEY in exchange, and you don't get your money from them for months by now, and you even pissed blood for their quality?

Should I mention names in public and report them at Artists, Beware! ?
