Wow... it has really been a long time since I posted any new art! I am so very sorry, but real life has been keeping me very busy and also very unmotivated to do new art. I did do some new pieces, mainly for Eurofurence last year and this year which I will post slowly during the next days/weeks. :)

Also thank you to all my new watchers!! You guys are awesome! :D

It's been a while. A lot of changes happened in my life lately, especially work related... some of them not so good but recently much better :3 I am slowly getting back to doing art and stuff. First of all, sorry to my commissioners for the long waiting time, and thanks a lot for your understanding <3
Also thanks to all my new watchers!! :D I really appreciate it and hope I'll be able to show more art soon ^___^

I'm back from Eurofurence and it was awesome!! Thank you all guys for such a wonderful time it was the best EF ever!!!


I am still so much in arting mood but don't want to start anything bigger because I will be off to friends again on friday morning for a week. So I decided to start some practicing sketches like the 10 minute sketches I did a while back.
I will work exactly 30 Minutes on your sketch and then stop and change the color of the background and the lineart like in this sample picture. There will be also a little splash of white. No changes will be made after the sketch is done, please keep that in mind :)

I can only accept paypal atm. I might even be able to do one or two sketches today.

Price: 10 Euro +0,50 Cent Paypalfee
I would prefer to keep this clean (tasteful nudity is okay) but for an additional fee of 2 Euro I would draw smut as well.
Medium: Digital only

If you can keep a normal distance and are not in a suit of course :3

Can I touch/hug you?
If you are in a suit please don't try to hug me. If I know you please ignore the no-talking fursuit rule and tell me who you are. I am creeped by suits and knowing who's in there makes it easier. If you're not in a suit please just ask before getting to close :) (unless I know you of course!! All you great guys join the hugging pile <3)

So, it seems I will be at EF again this year and it actually is a convention where I like the theme! I still have some artwork to do and I want to draw more art for the art show there but I also would love to do EF-themed badges, if possible.
So this is a journal to check if anyone would be interested in a badge once I can get started? :)

They would probably be in a price range of 25-35 Euro depending on size and background details. The theme is "Greenhouse world" and the badges will have detailed backgrounds in the style of "I am Legend" and "Last of us" with overgrown citys and buildings. :)

Commissions are closed again atm

I managed to finish most of my stuff and finally I would like to offer some commissions again x3

Edit: I created a new tumblr account especially for art: http://artbynelena.tumblr.com


So, it's been a while since I posted anything on here. I am really sorry for being so silent.
Right now I am working on a very huge commission which will still take a while. But I want to use this opportunity to talk about commissions in general.
Even though I really love doing them and I enjoy working with most of my customers, I realized that I rely to much on the money I make with art. My normal income is enough to live for me but I never really noticed because I always had at least a littl commission money to work with. But then this flow stopped, because of art block and other reasons, and even though it was only for a little time I started to panic and stress myself, which led to even more art block-stuff.

So I tried to find a way out and I realized, the first step for me is to learn live with my normal income and abstain from buying stuff I probably don't even need. So I will slow down even more on commissions and only take one from time to time. I also plan on doing more art for myself without feeling bad for it.
I will keep doing commissions, especially for commissioners who buy my art since a long time now and support me that way, but it will be less then during the last years :)

I hope you all understand and keep supporting me with your awesome comments and lovely notes :D I really appreciate every single one of them even though I sometimes don't manage to reply v.v

I will be gone to a short holiday for a few days, Expect some updates on commissions after that. I really want to use some time to work on stuff during that time :D

Edit: All slots have been taken :D Thank you for your interest ^___^

I have one week left of holidays and would love to use this time to offer one more commission slot. No matter if Sketch, badge, ink or full color. For prices please check out this link: http://www.furaffinity.net/full/7105381/

Can't wait to see all of you there again! It's been a while X3

I will be in the Dealers Den again this year, selling Badges and Sketches. :) I'm looking for someone for the first badge I'll draw at the convention because I really prefer to start right away. This will also be the last badge that will be for sale for 20 Euro. After that I have to raise the price up to 25 Euro.

If you want this badge slot please send me a note with all informations on your character and badge wishes. You can pay for it on the convention itself (please make sure to be on my DD table rather early on the first day)

Hello everybody :)

I am working on a project with my kids and I would need very simple kids songs. So if you had a favorite childrens song back from your time in kindergarten or at home, please please tell me. I would only need songs in english though, like "He's got the whole world" (but I'd prefer none religious songs) or like "Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes". It would be perfect if anyone would have either a youtube video or sheet music so I could know how to sing them :3

Thank you very much!!!

Happy Birthday, Honey!!! I hope you'll make yourself an awesome day <3

First note: THE NATURAMA PROJECT STARTET AGAIN!!!
Please make sure to check out: http://naturama-projekt.org/en/naturama.php
A lot of awesome artists offer pictures to help different animal related projects!! This is always a very good oppertunity to get awesome art AND help animals at the same time!!

**********

I am searching for someone who'd "volunteer" for a Sample-picture with background. I thought about selling pictures with partial background to be able to offer backgrounds which are a bit less expenssive than usual.

The piece you'll get will be a bit like this: http://www.furaffinity.net/full/4037301/
This means 1 character and around 1/3 to 1/2 of the picture with background. But I want to try to make the background a bit more inventive. :3

Later on pictures like this will cost 120 Euro for one Character. This first slot I'll offer for 100 Euro+ shipping. Please make the background a natural environment like forests or mountains etc. I am not yet up for cities, houses or technical stuff. Oh and please don't ask for a 2nd charakter instead of a background. ;)

If your character is very detailed, complicated or with wings, please ask me for the price because it probably will be a bit more.
There will be only one Slot right now. I might offer more if people are interested. :3


Stuff I am working on:
Anonymous – sketched, waiting for 2nd half of payment
Chiyo – sketched, started inking
KrankesPapst – sketching
DragonTiger – almost there X3

I'm planning on doing another picture of Adrian for next EF.. X3 Anything special you'd like to see with him?

Anyone interested in a One-character commission? Send me a note with your character and idea? Or only character if you want me to play a bit with it? X3 I really feel like doing some detailed colorwork again... X3

Price would be 65 Euro + shipping (a bit more if your character has wings or very detailed extras.)

Examples:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8707689/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7799018/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7435487/

Edit: I am back from my holidays in London and still with a friend till monday. Please have a little patience with me. :3



Because there are still people asking for them I open up another round of art noveau commissions. I will change some rule though so read carefully. :)

There will be another 5 slots for the same price (30 Euro+ shipping) in the same stile as the first pictures. But there will be an extra fee of 5Euro for characters with wings.

If you want a slot you have to pay right away for the picture. I would prefer paypal, but if you live in germany you can also use money order if you're able to send the money out tomorrow or on monday. I want to try to finish the sketches for all pictures until christmas, so I can take them with me to my christmas holidays.
This means, please only ask for a slot if this is okay with you. Of course I will show you the sketch before I drive away.

If for any reasons I'm not able to finish all sketches till christmas I will start right away again as soon as I'm back on monday the 7th January.

I am back from my holidays and I found a very pretty set of art noveau gift wrap in an awesome quality. I got so inspired by it, that I drew my character in art noveaus style. In the end I had so much fun, that I decided to offer some smaller commissions between my bigger projects just for fun. X3

So I offer 1 character commissions in this style: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8685191/
Price would be 30 Euro + shipping. The size is A4 for the frame so the inner space and the character are a little bit smaller.

You can either send me an inspiration in which way you'd like to have you character or leave it up to me, whichever you prefer. :3 For background you can choose between one of the following papers:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4998946/Papier.jpg (huge file)

Of course female characters would be best for this kind of commission, but I'd also love to do some crossdressing or androgynous males. Of course I will also work with "normal" male characters, so don't worry about that. :3

For the beginning there are 5 slots. For more informations don't hesitate to contact me here or via PM. :3
Payable via paypal. Or money transfer in europe. :3
