I've been itching to do a bit of fan art, and I've got a few ideas rolling around, but I'd like to get a bit of input from my watchers to figure out which to do first.

Finishing up the PWYW's from last night, and then.... I'm not sure.

I've taken to start using the 'Commission Info' tab on my main profile page for commission pricing! It's far easier to change things on there than on price sheets, haha.

Paypal - space_of_cakes @ hotmail.com (THIS IS NOT MY E-MAIL. THIS IS A FRIENDS E-MAIL. DO NOT E-MAIL THIS E-MAIL)



For each commission, a QUICK sketch will be made as a preview piece with no defining character features, to be approved, or have the pose altered. After that, the payment process needs to be started, and, once this process is confirmed, the sketch will be finalized, and the rest of the commission finished.

I DO take paypal, but it is run through my friend's paypal, since I personally don't have one. PLEASE Do not e-mail that address, as it is not mine, and you will not get a response. ALSO, do NOT mention anything that could be taken as vulgar or inappropriate in the note section of the paypal payments. Please address all paypal payments as such:


Your User Name - Commission style
Example: Knon - 2character FlatColor



DO NOT mention ANYTHING sexual, or any details beyond that.



I will not make any deadlines on any commissions. I take inspiration as it comes to me, and sometimes it doesn't, even for my own art. I WILL be posting my own art alongside commissions, often several of my own pieces between commissions, but once I start on a commission, it will usually be finished within a few days of starting.

Will not draw:
Anthro (I will Collab with  narcotic-sprinkles for anthro pieces, though)
Scat
Cubs in R+ Situations
Certain Species-case by case basis


I'll decide on what the final BGs will look like, though you may make suggestions to help me figure it out.


All changes/cancellations must be made during the sketching stage. Once I start on lineart, the piece will be non-refundable and finished unless I decide to refund the piece on my own. In which case, the price of the sketch at normal commission prices will be withheld from the refund, and the commissioner will get the remaining price (or price of item minus the sketch price, if a barter deal is made).

Commission List


I GIVE UP ON DOING THESE IN ORDER
Also, if this list seems out dated/wrong, feel free to prod me about correcting it!


Commissions to finish before opening for new ones

 fystilago/ Faunoiphilia 2 character FB full color - BG
3 character FB full color x2 - Sketched - Revising /not started(need pose/info)
 myshanti 1 character FB full color - BG
 skandrake 2 part 1 character FB Full Color - BG/Flats
 robbo 2 character FB Full color - BG (50%)


Ongoing Projects

 renix Totally rad painterly 2 character thing
 liquid Various (a few) - Sketched (some) / not started (some) /art forever

 blacksin Sketchbook
 liquid Sketchbook

Prizes
 reskha 2 character Full color

But I have to ask.


I know several people were wanting me to do another pay-what-you-want sketch stream, and with the turnout of the first one, I'm tempted to do so. On that same note, because of what some people actually paid in that stream, I'm going to be doing a bit of simple color on the sketches from the first one.


But yes, I'll either be working on exhisting commissions tonight (possible stream) or, after a bit of commission work out of stream, do another pwyw.



I've also been thinking of trying my hand at some Your Character Here/Pre Posed Pictures for auction, or with set, discounted prices from my current ones, and would like input on if this would be a good idea or no.


I MAY also be in the mind of changing some of my prices, or at least, how my prices operate (prices per character versus starting price, then a lower for each additional, or possibly a slightly higher starting price but including 2 characters for the base picture versus one, and a slight discount for solo pictures.) but this is just my brain juggling ideas.





On a final note, I may also be 'auctioning' slots for background characters/one-off appearances in my comic, once I get it up and running, though I will say, the first scene will be with Stray and some unsuspecting 'victim' having a little... Romp... near a watering hole. Once I have the basic prelay sketches for this intro/prelude set up I'll post them as a collage *i'm expecting 3 or 4 pages, possibly 5 if I pace things slowly* but the character would need to be smaller than my liger (not a hard feat) and I'm almost leaning towards a male for this role. If there is anyone that would be interested in possibly taking this slot, feel free to let me know here as well.


And now, back to work!

Ooooh boy so many people that I do not know. I'm just going to hide in a corner in the house until things calm down in my brain.


Thank you reclusive lifestyle.

workin on 'safe' personal arts when they are, haha!

after the computer files were transferred from my dead brick to the new laptop...






...Was the best present I received this Christmas.

Since that first one went so fast!

Journal HERE:

I've started a second sketchbook auction, starting at $25 once again, in the smaller size, if anyone's interested. Same rules as the first apply.

Details and rules can be found in the original journal!

EDIT: OK. well, that jumped incredibly fast, haha!

Whether I make it to the convention or not, I've got plans to do up a few pieces for the FWA Art show (hurray mail in entries and stuff).

I've got a couple small matte frames, and I'd like to do a mixture of adult and pg pieces, in a couple different media (colored pencil, watercolor, acrylic, and marker, as well as mixed media.)



I have a couple ideas that are still very basic, but I would also possibly like some inspiration from others, because I'm not 100% sure what exactly would sell. What kind of things would you be looking for in the art show that would make you want to take it home for something pre-made?

Auction FOR THE SECOND SKETCHBOOK will end November 10th at 10PM, Eastern Standard time (West Coast USA)
SECOND SKETCHBOOK AUCTION DOES NOT HAVE A PRICE CAP!

Auction for the first sketchbook has ended with  darkraijin as the winner.

---

Starting bid will be $25 (plus final shipping)

Payment plans can be discussed at the end of the auction.



Rules are at the bottom of this journal!



Starting 'package' will include:

* one(1) 4 x 6 pocket sketchbook (110 sheets/220 pages)
* twenty sketched pages
* 3 inked pages
* one colored page
* 24 pages total


[quote = "Ladder add-on's"]
Each $10 increase to the final bid will add one extra sketched page.
Each $20 increase to the final bid will add one extra inked page.
Each $30 increase to the final bid will add one extra colored page.

What that means: If bidding reaches $55, it will add 3 more sketch pages, one more inked page, and one more colored page to the total pages making the final page total 29 instead of the starting 24.


If bidding reaches $150, the option to upgrade to the 5 x 8 (might be 6 x 8, I'm terrible with eyeballing measurements) or adding an additional 2 inked pieces and 2 colored pieces.


If bidding reaches $200, I will custom paint a cover for the sketchbook with acrylics.


2 sketched pages can be 'traded' for an extra inked piece.
2 inked pages can be 'traded' for an extra colored piece.

[/quote]



This will be a semi-involved sketchbook commission. The winner will be able to provide me with several references and ideas for what kind of material they would like to see, ratings ranging from G to XXX, HOWEVER, please be aware there are a few things I will not/can not draw, which can be found on my typical commission pricing, here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3891652/

Every few pages, I will send pictures to the winner to be 'ok'ed. The last thing I would want to do is portray a character incorrectly if there is an established story/personality.

PLEASE NOTE, the ideas given for the sketchbook may be as loose or exact as you would like, however, not all ideas will be drawn, as I may feel uncomfortable drawing some things. I may also throw my own ideas in there as well. If there are a few specific ideas that you know you would like as the inked/colored pages, please make sure to indicate this clearly.


Colored pieces will more than likely be full page images (full 4 x 6 page images, but still full page.)

Inked pieces will be full page, as well as multiple smaller inked pieces on the same page (2 or 3 per page, possibly)

Sketches will be a mix of rough and cleaned up sketches , full page and smaller multi-sketches per page.



THIS WILL BE A LONG TERM COMMISSION PROJECT.
Expect this to take at least a couple of months, as I WILL NOT be working on this every single day. I do have a normal job, as well as my own artwork I will want to work on, as well, probably, as other commissions that will need to be worked on.


Pages of this project (unless otherwise requested by the winner) will be posted in sets of 4 pages at a time here to FA. They will also most likely have a different numbering system, something like SA 001-004.





Rules

Reply to the previous bidder to create a bidding chain.

DO NOT hide your comments. If you need to pull a bid, contact me and I will null your bid myself.

In order to bid, please make a Journal advertisement and link to it in your first bid.

I thought I might make this a bit more fun all around, and offer up a headshot sketch for the person who finds the winning name for each character, and I do have many characters, so these will be done in one round per character.


The first one up will be one of my male cheetah's.

This one:

True at heart, he is something of a cocky playboy. Self-sure and fleet footed, his confidence rarely fails him, though arrogant wouldn't be a fitting word to discribe this one.



I think that is a decent start to getting the ball rolling. As it goes on, if I don't feel the right name has been found for him yet, I will continue to add more of a description for him.

Happy hunting!

Barter Deal: I understand that not taking paypal can be a hassle for some people, and it was suggested that I possibly make a list of items people could buy for me in exchange instead of using paypal as a direct payment method. So, I will be coming up with different things as I find them on the internet that I want, but can't get because of this same reason. I'll keep a list of things below, and as time goes on, keep adding to the list. Also, I understand that prices won't always match up perfectly, so, whatever the final price with shipping can be rounded up to the next tier for some commissions, or a possibly compromise in what actually comes with the commission can be made.

I'll try and put them in relative order from cheapest to most expensive.
+ = Something I want a little bit more than other things.
