trello!
Posted 12 years agohey guys! i've started using trello to better organize my commissions, so i can clear my queue out of my journal header.
i'll post a link to it more prominently on my page soon, but for now you can see your refs and things here.
i'm trying to get the hang of organizing it to my liking, but definitely appreciating it more than google docs!
and of course if you have a commission displayed there that you'd rather remain private (for gift reasons) i am happy to remove any info that might give away what it is. just let me know!

ittybitty commissions FULL! but waiting list??
Posted 12 years agoHEY WOW you guys really like ittybitty cute things, haha! i sold out of those faster than i had anticipated!
there was quite a bit more interest than my current to-do list really allows, so i'm setting up a waiting list if you can provide me with your refs + info! refs are absolutely necessary before i will give you a waiting list spot, as i need them to verify your characters will work for the type of commission
see info here! you can post refs in this journal's comments!

ittybitty commissions! UPDATED
Posted 12 years agoittbitties look like these!
they'll be full color, like the example.
please include a visual reference, and outfit examples if the ref does not provide one! include a VERY BRIEF personality description for expression/pose purposes, too, please!
i may not accept characters i find too complex for the simple style these are.
i am okay with drawing furry, reptilian, feathered, insect/bug in general?? (ants, bees, etc.) and human characters!
i will not be drawing anything fetishy, sorry! this means no diaper, hyper, etc.; these are intended to be pretty clean!
payment is expected up front and through paypal. they are a base price of $10 USD, but may range up to $15 USD for complexity/anything i think may make the process take a little longer!
I MIGHT BE WILLING TO DO COUPLES for $30??
aaand i won't be working on them immediately, but will be starting on them later this week! i'll likely upload in a batch but link you to yours as soon as it's finished. 8) if you're interested, feel free to comment, note, or email me at blizzycommissions@gmail.com!
WHOOPS I FORGOTi'll be taking five or six ALL TAKEN!! but will likely open more as i clear my commission queue!
EDIT BECAUSE I FORGOT TO MENTION i won't be taking reserves on these! i'll be basing who gets a spot on who can give me refs/payment first, since refs have to be approved! sorry i wasn't more clear on that earlier, but if you can get me refs + paypal info immediately you have a much better chance of getting a spot! even if spots are full though i'll probably be doing a waiting list if you get me refs today or night. 8) which, if refs are approved, will guarantee you a spot next time i open them!
(this looks a little messy aaahh i'm sorry, i just want to get this posted before i get to work on some other things)

human adoptables and stuff??
Posted 12 years agoi really want to do just human designs to sell tbh but i don't know if those . . . sell really . . . ?? would anyone be interested in those if i were to do them at some point? just humans, maybe based on stuff like animals but not with critter ears or anything. i just really like drawing humans and they're sort of my comfort zone and what i feel most at ease drawing, and i'd really like to design them for fun without having to keep any because god knows i don't need more characters
also things have calmed a bit, or i just woke up a couple hours ago so i haven't had time to get really worn out yet, but thank you guys so much for everything said in the journal regarding current circumstances. i appreciate your understanding so, so much, especially when things are as tough as they are right now.
AND i am sorry for two journals today. i think i might just be nervously posting things at this point haha so i am going to go work on commissions and watch horror game LPs.

life update (sorta relevant to some of your interests)
Posted 12 years agohey i was hoping this wouldn't be a necessary thing but uh
basically my little sister disappeared for a week and some shit happened, she ended up having a couple seizures (unrelated to what comes next, but relevant) and i had to spend all of yesterday convincing her to go to a hospital. i'm three thousand miles away and had to negotiate between her and my mom to get her there so you can see why this might be difficult.
come to find out, she has a small brain tumor and i don't know what is going to happen right now, she hasn't seen the neurosurgeon yet but thus far they don't think it will require surgery right now. basically what i'm getting at is shit is a little crazy right now, and i'm not really asking for pity or condolences (though i do appreciate them, and thank you for your time!) i just wanted to keep everyone updated
i've got some notes i've read and need to respond to but i have barely slept in two days and i've been immensely stressed out over this and i'm apologizing in advance if my activity or responses are spotty at best. as always, your patience is appreciated, and i will respond to you as soon as i can.
i'm so sorry for the lack of progress on anything, i'm gonna try and get all IA things done before halloween, and work on painterly commissions. i'll probably take on more of those when i've cleared my queue a bit, if there's interest.
again thank you for understanding, i appreciate it!

one iron artist spot open, also some thoughts!
Posted 12 years agoplease go here for the info on that last spot!
read everything before noting or emailing me, please! 8)
i'm thinking of taking a break from iron artist after this round (well, half a round), until mid-november when i'll do a full round for a fall/autumn theme. between now and then i'll probably be taking painterly commissions, and smaller commissions here and there!

hhhh
Posted 12 years agoso my birthday is next month on thanksgiving and i've been debating doing a special sort of commission thing around that time, kinda for myself to indulge in things i enjoy (like drawing cats) and to give back to something i am really grateful for (like cats)
i haven't for sure settled on anything but i'm thinking maybe next month i'll do some commission specials where the funds i get will go toward donating to cat rescues?? i'll probably do something like a special deal if the character you'd have me drawing is feline (big cat or domesticated), you'd get 25% off the original price
just something i am thinking about because i've been wanting to do it for a while, and it seems like next month might be good for it!

iron artist round 3 reservations open!
Posted 12 years agoi've got three more to finish from round 2, so i figured i'd go ahead and get these going! the goal is to finish them before halloween, since of course this round is halloween themed!
read the rules here before trying to claim a spot!
you do not get a spot reserved until i have references. i do not reserve spots prior to getting refs, and i will not start on your commission until i have received payment.
i will send a payment request as soon as i've accepted your character!
this round's theme is halloween costumes!
RULES
these rules override rules from the main rule page
—-please include references (two or three, don't go overboard) OR a general idea of a halloween costume you would like
—-do not specify poses
—-send costume details with your character ref so i can let you know if either the character or the costume is too complicated for this!
—-keep in mind these are costumes, not cosplays! i will not be dressing your character up as copyrighted characters (attack on titan, homestuck, avengers, etc.), with the exception of some iconic/classic halloween costumes (frankenstein's monster, dorothy from wizard of oz, alice from alice in wonderland, etc.), if you are unsure of whether or not your costume idea is okay, please ask in the comments!
—-i will not accept racist or offensive costumes. "gypsy", "indian", etc., count as this. again, asking if you are unsure is totally okay, i am not going to judge you if you're unsure or this is unfamiliar to you!

Posted 12 years agosee here for painted commission discount info! once these are done and i've figured out a price for couples, i'll likely start offering them regularly.
ALSO i'm planning on finishing up my current IA queue within the next few days! my goal is to finish them within the next four to five, because i'd like to theme the third round around halloween costumes. once i get down to working on the last two of this round, i'll probably start opening reservations.
so if that's a thing you might be interested in, i'll likely be doing that around friday

art for faux fur
Posted 12 years agohey! so, some of you guys probably know my girlfriend tortle does art dolls, which are badass! but we have a pretty limited range of faux furs right now, and between trying to save to potentially move in the future and trying to cover groceries and living expenses we're pretty short on funds for more.
i was wondering if anyone might be interested in trading me faux fur for art? i would likely be doing sketchy things, or shaded waist-ups for them (so $15 value, or about $30 value), depending on the amount and quality of the fur!
we're not really looking for anything patterned, but jay has said that some natural patterns may be considered. mostly we are looking for browns, reds, oranges, yellows, purples, etc! we'll look at all offers, though. 8)

sorry sorry sorry
Posted 12 years agoi've had a few notes regarding pricing lately and i'm so so sorry for not getting back to you guys yet!
i am a little unsure of pricing on things like fully painted two-character pieces, which is what a lot of the inquiries have been about, but i'm hovering right around $80-100 for a base price for two-character fully painted images, due largely to the time they take. i'm not set on that yet, but that's likely what i'll be aiming for!
in the meantime, i'll probably be offering single-character painted images like the most recent bru pic as soon as i've worked my queue down to something more manageable and less crazy! i managed to get through a couple things tonight and i'll be finishing up things marked as priority after i get up, and if possible, icons.

if you want to give me a headache
Posted 12 years agoput bright yellow on grey tbh it is the most for-sure way to make me feel ill
i wish it wasn't because a lot of people seem to like this combo but it legit always makes me nauseated and is one of the fastest ways to give me a headache
i feel like i should probably note this down somewhere in my ToS that there are a couple color combos i physically cannot handle?? maybe i will do that

priority to-do list for tonight
Posted 12 years agothe last couple of days have been really stressful and i was either exhausted or sick, so i really apologize, again, for delays on things!
finished an iron artist today to get myself back in to the swing of things, so tonight's priorities are:
(updated oct. 5th. 2:30 EST)
-design trade for stormy
-icon for badkittyamy
-refine sketch for figgetywinks - worked on this!! refining a bit more, sending out tonight/when i get up to make sure it looks alright
i'll be working on other things as well but these are top priority and will be taken care of first because you guys have been hella patient and i don't know how to express my gratitude for it. thank you so so much!

commission queue updated!
Posted 12 years agoso so sorry for the delay in updating my commission queue, it's been a pretty hectic week and i've been slipping up on a lot of things. getting on top of it now, though!
while i THINK i have everyone on the list, this has been an absolutely crazy couple of weeks, so please please don't be afraid to give me a good verbal punch in the arm if i might've forgotten you. i would really appreciate the reminder!
it's all in the journal header, so if you don't see your name up there, but you're preeeetty damn sure you belong there, let me know!

aahh opinions??
Posted 12 years agowe're in a bit of a bad way right now and i'm sort of looking to take on some extra work beyond the iron artist challenges and some upcoming adoptable batches
i was thinking i may do speedpaints in a fairly rough and loose style, but i think it might be best to ask what you guys would be interested in? i'll figure out pricing and things when i determine what time everything takes, but i would love to know what sorts of things and styles you guys would be most interested in buying!

okay hold on round 2 theme time
Posted 12 years ago(more or less copypasting from tumblr)
tortle has suggested a "roarin 20s" theme for round 2!
i’m tempted because tbh i really really love learning about the 20s and i’m fond of the fashion, i have a bit of a soft spot for it.
i’d absolutely allow women to be dressed in men’s clothes and vice versa, though i would likely not let anyone specify the outfit, just “here is my character they are -insert gender/sex- and i’d like them in men’s clothes”
DEFINITELY THINKIN ABOUT IT
