Hi guys! I'm signal-boosting Delle's message about our current transition into becoming temporary guardians of a child. It's a positive change but we're treading into new territory and could use the help of your business to create a buffer for upfront costs. Check out her journal for more info!

Commissions are now OPEN. Please review the following information for what type of commission you'd like:

--- ---
http://www.furaffinity.net/commissi.....starmandeluxe/

- I will be taking on 5 commissions at a time
- I will attempt to continuously take on batches of 5 commissions after each set, time and burnout permitting.

Please send commission details to:

wickedstar64[at]gmail.com

Just so I have them all organized in one place.
I will choose commissions to take on at my own discretion, but will try to eventually accommodate all that are interested.

Thanks everyone!
Star

If any of you are into stuff like Flight Rising, Animal Crossing or Neopets, Delle just clued me into it. Seems pretty cute! You make a furry villager, choose a town to live in and a profession, and beyond that I have no idea yet... but yeah!

If you register for an account, consider using this http://www.furvilla.com/register/11205 , and drop that 5-digit number in the registration ID would you? I mean if you're going to leave it blank otherwise.

Here's my bare bones profile so far. http://www.furvilla.com/profile/11205 Not sure yet if I'll be spending too much time on it but like I said, seems cute enough c:

How's it going?
If ever you've wanted to both A) get some cute art and B) feel good that you helped someone in need, My wife is currently open for commissions. Her sister's going through some unfortunate circumstances and we want to get her on our cell phone plan to help out. We're specifically looking to raise enough just for the phone itself (about $150).

Check out http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7466057/ for Delle's journal, or just head over to her page here:  delle

Thanks for the help!

Hey, I've received several messages asking for commission pricing. So far I've been doing them on a per-inquiry basis. At this time I won't be opening up all commission types, but I would like to offer the following:

All prices are per character, limit 2 characters per image.

Fetish* Flat Color Sketch: $35
Example (Warning! Contains Scat): http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7916191/

Adult Flat Color Sketch: $25
Example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7733323/
Example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7661853/
Example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8064619/

Non-Adult Flat Color Sketch: $20
Example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8044404/

If interested, send me a note with your description and "Color Sketch Commission" as the title.
Once I agree to the concept and payment is received I will begin. Please pay via paypal to deluxe.starman[at]gmail.com

*In general, this means scat, but includes other fetishes that include a lot of extra work and/or unusual scenarios I may not be accustomed to drawing. If you have any questions, just ask :)

Hey guys,

Coming up on the 22nd I will be selling art with my fiance at Rainfurrest in Washington. In addition to prints, magnets, stickers, etc. I will be tackling digital badges to be printed and laminated in time for the con (or con of your choice, In which case I'd mail them to you). They will be standard single-character bust shots at $35 each (+$2 if shipped). If you are interested in such a thing send me a note or leave a comment; that way I'll be able to gauge the interest.

And on the matter of prints, I'm currently going through old works and bringing the quality up to my current standards, so if you're going, stop over and take a look! Print prices will be $10 for full color, $5 for ink

I think I'll leave it at that for now. :)

Thanks,
Star

Today I turn 24. Hooray!
BlackberryPie is treating me to the Amore Infused (http://www.tasteofamore.com/) restaurant in Seattle today, which looks amazing. Now we just gotta figure out what else to do in Seattle while we're there... So far I've got 'Top Pot Donuts' and 'Denny Park.'

By the way, Thor is great, go see it.

That's all!

Hey all!

My fiance  blackberrypie is currently conducting an Iron Artist! You can get super cute art of your character for super cheap ($10)! Check out the details here! HAMAGAWHD IT'S SO AMAZING!

But yeah, best Rainfurrest yet. I may just deal next year :)

Hey guys! I'll be at Rainfurrest this weekend!
If you'd like to come hang out with me and my friends, or just nudge me about commissions or whatever, call or text me at my newly established Google Voice number (425) 610-9142. As far as panels go, I'll likely be attending ones in the Bellevue room. Blackberry and I are also signed up for both live model sessions. Hope to see you there :)

Dear everyone everywhere,

So  blackberrypie, in spite of having a plan to do this on our actual anniversary, spilled the beans today. She asked me to marry her and I was all "YES PLZ :V" All of our happiest moments have come about without prior planning so I think it's more than fitting :3 I have never felt more sure, more comfortable, or more in love than I am with her.

I am engaged! SO HAPPPPPY :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

(and thanks go out to  touchmybadger for the sweet image to commemorate the occasion!) http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4399033/

So in Pokemon HeartGold I call up Liz in my Pokegear and this is what I get:

"This is Liz!
Good Afternoon!
Listen listen!
My NIDORAN(female)...it's...so pretty...
and...giggle...so awesome...yes...
but...very much...eeek!
And...lovely...just ravishing...
Oh, too much! Hug it... Sleeping...
That's right...pretty... Sigh...
So nice...cute...
...Oops! Look at the time! I chatted too long!
I'm sorry I took so much of your time! I love chatting!"

Ok I know they were PROBABLY trying to imply with all those ellipses that she was just talking my ear off... But I like to think that the Nidoran just started going down on her and she has a hard time concentrating. The 'eeek!' really sells it! XD

Got a Formspring account: http://www.formspring.me/StarmanDeluxe

Made a formspring account. Ask me whatever :)

Lately I've been either hanging out with my girlfriend blackberrypie, playing Pokemon, working, or animating (a little), which is why I haven't been around, on Messenger or otherwise. Work's fine, but they make the weeks seem to fly by without me accomplishing much in between. For instance, tonight I wound down after work by running around hatching eggs on Pokemon, and it's already nearly time for bed, so I can wake up early for another day of work. It didn't feel like I was playing that long, but I guess I was. It's just so hard to find time for everything you wanna do, you know? It's also why I don't post journals often, since I get lost in thought thinking of what to write, and lose more time that way.

Otherwise I can't complain, and I've got it easy. Thanks to those wondering what's become of me on Messenger.

Commissions are still under way. Afterwards I'd like to start a project that is both Furry and professional enough to be displayed in my demo reel. I have in mind to model (or find a model) and make a slew of animations of a quadruped. A boar or pig would be fun :)

(Commissions are closed until I can catch up, at least. Sorry!)

- Star

Edit 3/18/10: *** Commissions are currently CLOSED until further notice ***

All prices are in US dollars
Please send payments to deluxe.starman[at]gmail.com , via Paypal

---Full Color Character Bust Avatar $5

Example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3537717/

---Sketch $8

Like this: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3329181/

---Ink $20

It look-a dis way: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3329189/

---Color $35 - $45

Once more, with feeling: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3329197/
(this one's negotiable based on personal appraisal, and if you want flat color or fully/partly shaded)

---Add a character $5 - $10
(Negotiable, depending on if it's an ink or sketch, and complexity of the character(s) added)

---Add a background $3 - $10
(Negotiable. Something like the bed in Kite's Chocolate Compulsion would be about $3, while Heat of the Moment 's background is closer to $9 or $10, with the environment featured more prominently in the scene.

---Add miscellaneous $5 - $10
Inanimate objects or things featured prominently but aren't quite characters, like tentacles! Or all your TVs and clocks and stuff! (props if you get that)

I only accept Paypal as payment. Payment needn't be received upfront, but I'll certainly love you more for it! Tentative slots for commissions will be started in the order I receive complete and ready-to-start descriptions of your desired scenario. Please send a note here on FA or an email to deluxe.starman[at]gmail.com with your description. From there, preferably we can follow up in an IM program (let me know what you use or add my email to Windows Live Messenger), though email/notes are acceptable. Once an agreement on price is reached, your tentative position in the commissions lineup is finalized. During the commission I will share with you small samples of each major stage of the process, and ask for payment at around 75% completion.

Unfortunately, since I'm also doing some private commissions, and I've been booked by several others already, I'm only opening a few slots at this time, so let me know if you're interested! I know its kind of a dick move to open and have slots immediately full, but I just figured I'd make it official :V

Dear Internet,

 spelunkersal cued me in on this game

VVVVVV

knowing that I like finger-twitch time wasters like Jumper, Stepmania, possibly Cave Story and the like. I purchased it as soon as the demo was over :>

Moreover, I loved the AWESOME chiptune music so dern much, I went 'n downloaded it here:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4WF4L2S2

It's called PPPPPP. Some might consider $15 for the game a bit steep (it's short and sweet), but $4 is well worth the suggested donation for the soundtrack.

To donate or just outright purchase PPPPPP, go here:

http://souleye.madtracker.net/

That's all for now. If you like it, please donate to this guy! The world needs more chiptunes.
Yes I know I haven't logged into messenger in awhile.

Love,
Star

Alright, I think I started to get a little too in depth too soon in my last journal, so let me just ask:

How many of you are interested in getting a commission? HANDS UP

(Also, what would you expect to pay? Provide an idea and whether or not its full color, ink, or sketch. It can certainly be something requested in the past that I never got around to. If you're unsure just answer the previous question.)

Note me please :)

- Star

*** UPDATE *** 1/27/10

- MOST IMPORTANTLY I just want to know if you are interested in getting a commission at all. That info should prove the most helpful.

***

So I'm thinkin...

Sketches - $12 ... example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/332...../#cid:24664558
Ink - $28 ... example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3329189/
Full Color - $40 ... example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3329197/

...For one character pieces. Character ref sheets with multiple portrayals (front, side etc) will still be considered single character pieces. Here is an example of a character reference sheet: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2868302/

Add a simple/abstract Background - No charge (i.e. gradient, solid color shapes, zoom layer) example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2608853/

Add a perspective Background - $15 (ink, full color) $8 (sketch) example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/870027/

Add a Character (Sketch) - $6
(So for instance, 4 characters sketched would be 12 + 6 + 6 + 6 = $30)

Add a Character (Ink) - $10, each add'l $7
(So for instance, 4 characters inked would be 28 + 10 + 7 + 7 = $52)

Add a Character (Full color) - $15, each add'l $12
(In the same vein, 4 characters full color would be 40 + 15 + 12 + 12 = $79)

Badge (full color) - $20 ... example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/743961/
Avatar - $1.84 billion worldwide omg $10 (also, full color)... example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1103259/
Close ups / cut aways (such as the naughty bits in http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2608853/ ) are negotiable, but I'm thinking $5 for sketch, $10 for ink/color

So, what do you think? Is this an outrage? A steal? A tantalizing Turkish delight? ...Of course you're not going to TELL me if it's a steal, ARE you >:| Fine. Well, in the end I'll adjust prices based on how frequently I am commissioned. I will of course post official prices with links to examples once I actually decide. THIS IS ONLY A TEST.

Anyway, please tell me your thoughts on the matter. Thank you!

XOXO
Star Penguin
