OK so i just learned in order to have full res files show up in submissions you have to resubmit them. Half because why the hell would I ever assume that would be the case, but also half because I can't read lmao. I should be uploading actual full versions of everything from now, assuming i dont forget.

ITS TIME

This tweet p much explains everything, but in summary ill be using this place for uploading NSFW/slob/gas stuff that I'm less comfortable putting up on my main Twitter account. I'll be uploading some stuff here today hopefully, mainly to back up stuff from my alt account as i convert it to a commission art account. I might just upload all my commissions here too though, just so i have a better backlog of past works. I'll have to see how that goes. Will update profile with my new accounts!

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/25184982/
starting a flatrate ych thing here, just putting a journal here as well

http://ych.commishes.com/auction/sh.....artphone-ych1/

might as well drop this here, gonna be doing some auctions over winter break!

yaaaay

so i'm opening up traditional commissions, details here: https://twitter.com/sketchbookrat/s.....26428000776192
only taking the first 3 at the moment cause i already got a few more takers on twitter, i'll reopen here later once i get em all done!

So now that my computer's busted and i ain't got money, would you guys like it if i tried my hand at traditional commissions?
Examples:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16361405/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16360971/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16360964/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15964137/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14915744/

(i draw a lot better now, those are kind of old but i don't have anything else at the moment =X)
So, how much would you guys be willing to pay for traditional commissions if I did them? Please let me know, might not have a computer for months

yeah, so my computer's not working anymore and idunno when i can replace it. gonna have to use the college computers for HW and stuff so i'll be fine there but i can't work on commissions for the time being. So anyone who's currently waiting on a commission from me, just know that it's gonna be a few months probably before I can get back to them :c I have all current commissions written down though so I won't forget, don't worry!
Now you know why i don't charge up front, this stuff happens a lot to me

ASK BLOG'S OPEN NOW: http://rattus-rumpicus.tumblr.com/
GO ASK SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT MY SONA SO I CAN DRAW HIS FAT ASS MORE PLEASE

Alright, so I'm opening up commissions again, now that I'm pretty free to draw for a while, and want to buy stuff.
Changing the prices a bit, since I've gotten a bit better at art due to a few new techniques and brushes, and also because it takes a lot more effort to finish a drawing.

BASE PRICE (LINES) : $15
BASE + FLAT COLORS OR BASE + B/W SHADING (CEL SHADED OR SOFT SHADED): $20
BASE + COLORS + SHADING (CEL SHADED OR SOFT SHADED): $30
ROUGH SKETCH (DIGITAL): $10

ADDITIONAL CHARACTERS: +$8 per character

[will update with examples/traditional art prices later]

DISCOUNTS:
For any drawing where the main subject is a rodent, mustelid, or skunk, the entire price of the commission is discounted 20%.
In addition to this, if an additional character is one of my own, it is only $4 to add them.

I am pretty tolerant when it comes to what I will draw, but I do reserve the right to decline a commission.

I'm gonna start an ask blog based around my fursona, where people can ask questions and i'll draw the responses. Plus, art trades are definitely encouraged!

I'll think about sequences and update this when i figure that out, but I probably won't do them at this exact moment.

But yeah, any additional inquiries are welcome and I will try to answer them! (p.s. i love comments and will try to respond to them a lot more) Thanks a lot, and it's good to be back!

HEY GUYS WHAT'S UP!!! FINALLY BACK TO REGULAR INTERNET ACCESS AND DIGITAL ART!
confetti whoo
yeah so i've gotten some serious art practice during this time, and so i'm gonna revise my commission prices accordingly, and probably open up slots or something so i can keep track of them all and not forget to do them. Even with that, I've got a commission i started a LONG time ago that i plan to finish. But now that it's summer, I am free from college (except for one summer class) and so i can put some real effort into getting art done!

SOME QUESTIONS: How would you guys feel about YCH auctions, adoptables, and the like? I want to start saving up for a certain Nintendo console that has a certain squid-based game (gee i wonder what that could be). So I'm basically thinking about which ways i can raise funding. Also, i've been considering launching an ask blog on tumblr where people can ask questions about my fursona, because it would really help me develop his character through answering the questions, and you get to see more of his huge ass. Really a win-win solution here, at least I think so.

But yeah, feedback would be greatly appreciated, and I'll post some art today as updated commission examples. Glad to be back!

OK SO EVERYONE WHO'S COMMISSIONED ME AND NOT GOTTEN A RESPONSE IT'S BECAUSE I'M COMPLETE TRASH AND FORGOT TO POST HERE ABOUT MY CURRENT SITUATION
I DON'T HAVE A DIGITIZER ANYMORE AND I AM WORKING ON GETTING A NEW ONE. BUT THAT MIGHT TAKE MONTHS.
BECAUSE OF THIS, I CANNOT DO DIGITAL COMMISSIONS FOR THE TIME BEING.
HOWEVER, I AM STILL VERY MUCH ABLE TO DO TRADITIONAL COMMISSIONS FOR 8$.
EXAMPLES:
- http://mcs70.tumblr.com/image/116424856659
- http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15965281/
- http://mcs70.tumblr.com/image/115206833704

IF YOU HAVE COMMISSIONED ME FOR DIGITAL ART, BUT MAYBE WANT TO CHANGE IT TO A TRADITIONAL COMMISION, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO GET IT DONE FOR YOU.
P.S. EXCUSE MY CAPS LOCK, THIS IS JUST SUPER IMPORTANT
P.P.S. ALSO SORRY FOR BEING DEAD ON FA FOR LIKE FOREVER, I HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN POSTING ART AT ALL LATELY SINCE I DON'T EVEN HAVE MY REGULAR LAPTOP AND AM USING A REPLACEMENT.

SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE, I HOPE Y'ALL DON'T HATE ME TOO MUCH FOR THIS.

Character: Otto Steinberg

1.) What is your name?
Try looking up a bit.

2.) Do you know why you were named that?
'Cause I used to be an otter!

3.) Single or taken?
*shrugs* It's complicated.

4.) Any abilities or powers?
I'm a shapeshifter due to a symbol on my belly, might be magic or something! Other than that, I'm a respected scientist with an IQ around 280, so that's nice. Also, being nearly 400 pounds and having a massive ass that takes up at least 2 chairs, I can sit on people and stuff. That's REAL power.

5.) Stop being a Mary Sue!
Is that what I am? Because I'll commit suicide right here if I am. That is my greatest fear.

6.) What's your eye color?
Yellow, IRL it's brown.

7.) Hair color?
Got a little brown tuft on my hair, same as my skin color. IRL it's black.

8.) Any family?
Off living in another state somewhere, I do hope they're well. Haven't called in a bit actually, thanks for reminding me!

9.) What about pets?
Well... no, unless you count the unpaid interns I've tied up and forcefed, then yes, more than a hundred.

10.) Now, tell me something you don't like?
Fake cheese. That shit makes me MURDEROUS. I'M LOOKING AT YOU, KRAFT!!! *shakes fist angrily*

11.) Any hobbies or activities you enjoy?
I like messing with my shapeshifting abilities, eating (a lot), and stuffing others with food. Also butts. I like touching butts. Very nice.

12.) Have you ever hurt anyone in any way?
Who's asking? I'll kill them.

13.) Ever killed anyone?
Try looking up a bit.

14.) What kind of animal are you?
I am Rattus Norvegicus; in layman's terms, a brown rat.

15.) Name your worst habits?
Definitely not murder. I'm a bit of procrastinator, and tend to get a bit sassy when it's uncalled for. Also, puns. I can't resist terrible puns. What, you thought I was going to include a pun in this answer? Well, PUNfortunately, there are no- pfft, hehehehe, sorry, I couldn't resist.

16.) Do you look up to anyone?
People who are taller than me, until i stretch my body upwards so I am taller than them. You're probably looking for an actual answer, so pretty much anyone who isn't a total asshole has my respect and admiration. I'm pretty easy to please, if I do say so my self.

17.) Gay, straight, or bi?
That's such an offensive question!!! GoodBI, sir and good day!

18.) Do you go to school?
I've taught a chemistry or biology lesson as a substitute in a few colleges, but it usually gets awkward with my rump to the students, because after class, I always notice unidentified fluids on my backside. Upon identification of these fluids, I am thoroughly disgusted 1% of the time and extremely aroused 99% of the time.

19.) Ever want to have to have kids one day?
Sure, I really wouldn't mind actually. Someone to share my vast knowledge of science with, who is actually obligated to listen to it? I'm 100% on board! Just kidding, I think having a family would bring great joy into my already-pretty-decent life.

20.) Do you have any fangirls/fanboys?
I guess those students I mentioned earlier? But who wouldn't be a fan of this? *wiggles butt*

21.) What are you most afraid of?
Well, I earlier implied that it was becoming a Mary Sue, but in all seriousness, it would be losing relevance and importance to friends, the scientific community, and family. Mortality sucks. *frowns frustratedly*

22.) What do you usually wear?
Hmm, fashion you say? Well, I usually wear a t-shirt and a hoodie, with skinny jeans. Yes, I know my butt is way too monstrous for skinny jeans. Yes, I know it is revealing and a bit lewd. And no, it is not 100% on purpose.

23.) What's one food that tempts you?
Pfft, I'm a rat, I've swum across a river because of a vague cheese smell on the other side. And that was just smelly socks. Which I may or may not have sniffed for a whole minute.

24.) Am I annoying you?
Not at all, friend, I'm always happy to talk about me~

25.) Well, It's still not over.
Keep the questions coming, hun!

26.) What class are you?
Hmm. I have a good amount of money i guess, so upper class, but i don't find it something to brag about, or even mention. *mumbling* unlike SOME people I know... Anyways, I'm really smart so money isn't my defining factor. Is that a good enough answer?

27.) How many friends do you have?
As many people will put up with me, I suppose!

28.) What are your thoughts on pie?
Apple pie, please! Oh, are we not ordering pie? Goshdarn. *pouts*

30.) What's your favorite drink?
Malt drinks, I don't know exactly what they're called but I know "malt" is in there somewhere.

31.) What's your favorite place?
My house. Going out is for thin people. I kid, I go on walks all the time! Mostly to show off this body, heh...

32.) Are you interested in anyone?
You got a big butt? I'm interested. The discussion really ends there.

33.) Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?
A lake, it's nice having land surrounding me and not being trapped in a giant blue expanse mostly filled with man-eating animals and the possibility of drowning. I suppose that's also possible in a lake. Hmm. I may have been thinking of a pond. Or a backyard inflatable swimming pool. Oh dear. I-ill just go with lake.

34.) What's your type?
Type B (butts). My blood type is Saggitariu-I'm very tired, sorry.

35.) Did you notice there was no question 29?
Sure....yes.

36.) Camping or indoors?
Indoors, please! Don't want to get my bitten in the ass by raccoons or something. Or maybe I do. Huh. I'm going to sleep outside tonight, then. Good night. What do you mean it's 3PM? I'M GOING TO BED NOW. GOOD DA-NIGHT. NIGHT. BYE.

WHY HAVEN'T I SEEN THIS MOVIE BEFORE
THE FRIAR IS SO GODDAMN HOT

OMG guys happy new year!!!

You've all been super supportive and cool, and I wanted to thank you for that!

I think I'm gonna start a side blog where i post some of my more regular artwork. And maybe an ask blog for my fursona! I think that'd be fun.

I also want to post journals more often and make more friends on Skype. You can note me if you're interested. My old one isn't working anymore for some reason though, so some of the contacts I used to have are now gone :I So if i literally haven't messaged you at all, then it's probably because you're messaging the old one. Or maybe you aren't. *shrugs*

Well, thanks again for being so rad guys, and stay squeaky! (haha get it cause i'm a rat? genius)

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


WHOHOOOOOOOOOOO

Hey guys, got some news.
So I'm deciding to cut back my computer use for the time being in order to put some more focus into college, cause I am prone to getting distracted. This means I probably won't be able to handle commissions at this point anymore, at least digital ones. I will however be open for traditional art commissions
A few examples:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14869741/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14608038/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14426458/
I'll keep these open because they are easily done without a computer, but it might take a while to get scanned (because there's no way i'm scanning furry art in a public location). I will probably be back to business as normal around mid-December (as that's when my quarter ends).
Just wanted to let you guys know. I'm still open, just not for digital commissions.

What should i say at the end, uh...
y'all are awesome!

yaaaay whooo

okay so imma post the stuff i drew while it was out, and then get back to commissions

gosh

college is time-demanding, but i have almost the entire day free so i should be able to start today

apologies to those waiting, I WILL TRY HARDER

ALRIGHTY THEN LET'S GET STARTED!


EXAMPLES


I'll be doing sketches like these:

A: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14685463/

B: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14615929/

C: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14641101/

D: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14462028/


PRICING


Sketch (Base Price): 5$ (Refer to B)

Sketch + Shading: 7$ (Refer to C)

Sketch + Color: 10$ (Refer to A)

Other:
Additional characters are +3$ each

Sequence costs depend on the level of commission you ask for, but it is most basically the price of your regular
sketch times the amount of drawings in the sequence.

[Lineart is an extra $5 added to the base price (Refer to

D)]


STUFF I WILL DRAW


Well, you can check my gallery for the majority of what I

draw, and I can't say I have anything else to offer at the

moment.


NOTE ME


If you would like a commission, please note me and state

your intent in the Subject area of the Send Note page.

Please be specific in your description of what you would

like, to make the process easier and quicker!

PLEASE INCLUDE REFERENCES IF NECESSARY. If it's something

like a Pokemon, or an otherwise well-known character, I

can just look it up, but for OCs and obscure characters,

please include a reference.


I'm new to this whole commission thing, so bear with me if

i have no fucking idea what I'm talking about at any point

and correct me. It would be greatly appreciated.


WHAT ABOUT REQUESTS?


Requests that I am currently working on will still be in

progress, and any requests can be directed to

http://mcs70.tumblr.com/ask. I will most likely answer

requests on weekends, but commissions will be the top

priority. I can maybe do an art trade or two, if we get along well enough.


I think that's all for now. Please comment if you notice

anything that you feel needs to be

changed/corrected/updated.

I'M IN HEAVEN

AAAND THERE'S ONLY ONE ON THURSDAY! yaaaay

agh maybe i can get to these requests today

so i got my tumblr back and everything's intact

aand i moved into my dorm today

hopefully i can practice speed/time management and still be able to draw the same amount as before

might actually livestream at some point (classes don't start until Thursday)
