Hey Guys!

I'm opening up my Userpic Commissions!
That means there are 10 slots available to get yourself a digital 100 x 100 pixel Userpic (PLUS the 500x500px source art!)

Payment is through Paypal (credit card only) and must go through before I will start the art. I can supply you with a rough sketch if you like before I put the finalize the payment on my end.

What I need from you is:
a) Post a COMMENT here if you want to be put on the list to get a Userpic drawn up for you.
b) A reference of your character emailed to: mmacvoy[at]yahoo.ca
c) $15 USD put through to my paypal (id: mmacvoy@yahoo.ca) once your name has been added to the list.
d) Your patience for a couple days for me to finish your brand-spankin' new ART! I'm pretty fast, so it probably won't take that long...

I've been putting the word out that I'm selling Commissions on FurBuy
http://www.furbuy.com/seller/MerryCat.html

The question was pm'd to me recently, and yes, you can buy a copy of my ART... (without the watermark, of course!)

A couple of the pieces were done as Commissions and I prefer to ask the buyer's permission before I sell a print -- that said, I've got permission to sell "YukiFox" and "Bellecandie" whose characters were created by _________________.

Here's the Deal:

I am willing to sell you the digital images at the siggy size (500x500px) for $10 each (they come out to a print size of 1.16")

OR 5" x 7" Digital images (300dpi) for $15 each.

OR I will sell/and send you 5" x7" Giclee prints on Glossy Premium 10 mil Photo paper (mailed to your snail-mail address in an envelope) for $20 each.

I need to know your paypal id. and payment must go through before I will email/mail the ART.

Feel free to pm me and let me know if you're interested and what you'd like!
(I'll need to have your email address and/or snailmail address depending upon what you're buying)

Thanks! (my ever-hungry cats thank you for buying them catfood too.)

It's here! It's here...and I'm afraid it's kind of big. XP

I'm thinkin' that I was a bit of a "size queen" on this one and might have been happier with one size smaller than the 9"x12" that I got...
Well, hopefully I'll get used to it.

'Might just have to rearrange my workspace as this new tool might also well serve as a life-raft if we have a biblical flood!

I've done an initial doodle to see how it is ~ posted it in my gallery under "scraps"...

So it hasn't arrived. I'm waiting with bated breath (and getting a little low on air at this point!) for the delivery of my new Wacom Intuos3 9"x12" tablet. I'm hoping that the little delivery card thingy will be in my mailbox today...and that I can find my ID to go pick it up.
Also am going to have to get a dvd player put into my 'puter so that I can suck off the programs that come with. Who ever thought of having them on a dang dvd anyway?!? What's wrong with a couple cd's?
*grumble-whine*
Grrr. Time to get back to bed and dream of my sweet sweet tablet.

I just noticed that I have 500 pageviews...
Neat! I saved a screenshot and posted it in my gallery...
(I'm really going to have to figure out how to post images in my journal...probably a link to photobucket I'd think)

I'm OPEN for Trades...PM me if you're interested. I need to approve a trade before we start so that we're "on the same page" as it were... ;) (I'd prefer to be doing paying commissions, but hey, I guess I can start with some Trades...there is some lovely ART here)

The response in the last few days has been gratifying. I certainly appreciate all the Watches and Favs.
I've gotten a few people sending me PM's and I've put an update on my front page about commissions and people asking "permission" to "use/borrow" my Art.
I don't think I'm being unreasonable.
I am interested in Trades, but right now, I'm new to FA and just settling in.
I've gotten a new MSN handle to do chat with people. My name there is merry.cat.
I hope to chat with some of you guys and certainly it will be a place to discuss commissions.
Well, I'm off to work, but I'll be working on a Character page for MerryCat, and hopefully that will get me ready for some Trades!
