This drawing kicks some serious booty!

Very nice, how much?

http://lizardbeth.net/commission.html

That is alot.

You get what you pay for.

Its what Liz considers the time and effort she has to put into doing a commission to be worth, and given the quality of her work and her popularity I'm not gonna complain about it. If you don't want to pay Liz's prices there are numerous other artists out there offering commissions, if you are lucky you might even find someone with similar quality to Liz and prices that are more to your liking, good luck on getting a spot though unless they are not well known.

Without adding too much to the debate:

Take whatever the minimum wage is where you are.

Multiply by the time - often several hours - it takes to do the drawing. (especially a full color, special effects and all jobbie like this)

Now realize a skilled artist is not going to want the same kind of money you could make flipping burgers at MickeyD's.


If it's still too much for you, well, too damn bad - guess you ain't getting any nice arts. MORE FOR ME!

Good for you. Lizbeth is semipro - I'm not sure if she's actually making a living just from her art, but Broken Plot Device does seem to be a reasonably popular webcomic.

Well, my "real" job wouldn't even pay my monthy rent, let alone bills & groceries & whatnot. My art in the other hand was enough to support me for a 7 month period in the past, and I could do that again; the part-time job is just an extra "security blanket" source of income in case I have a slow commission month (because people aren't buying, I have to prep for a con, or whatever else would prevent me from taking new work).

So long story short: I am semi-pro, but only because I'm not 100% ready to fully jump into freelance as my only income.

That is alot.

Yes!

Very nicely done. I love her outfit. It's very western like.

Ooooh, sign me up for the Dark Side please.

Holy cow, this is possibly one of the most awesome pics I have seen on FA in MONTHS

I wonder why almost every bit of SW fanart I see has the characters cast as Sith?

Actually if I were to ever have my character cast in a SW pic I would most likely be light side.

I'd be a bounty hunter :) gogo free & neutral!

Yeah -- the few times I've done anything with SW, it's usually imagining myself as a bounty hunter.

Though I have to admit to some major fondness for the warlike Sith cult called the Sun Guard. If only because I like melee combat and they're among the best people at it besides the Jedi and Sith. (Yes! Kick Jedi/Sith a**, my badass mundanes!)

....course I'd probably be really BAD at it, and end up just flying around getting lost

Hehe, sounds about right. Bounty hunters are pretty bad ass. Then again anything that doesnt have to deal with the moral implications of the force has its advantaged.

Force user = do something bad, risk turning into a hideous yellow eyed psycho.

I just don't trust myself with the Force.

Yeah would be far too easy...
Person pissed you off... *force push into traffic*

And then you run into characters like mine, where your use of the Force depends strongly on just how angry you are...

Not Light, not Dark, buth both in one form.

That's why you buy a pilot droid and let Mekano-1 do the flying.

I don't know. The Dark Side is so overrated. People should try for a Gray Paladin. (one who has left the order but not turned ark, or ones who have a similar training but different philosophy than the Jedi. Such as Laranth Tarak, who doesn't specialize in the lightsaber but uses twin blasters. )

What about groups like the Jensaarai? They have some Jedi and Sith training, and they're rather "Gray".

I haven't read many of the stories about those guys yet.

They really only show up once in the book "I, Jedi" by Michael Stackpole.

That sounds too nutral for my taste. lol I love the darkside because... Well... "They have cookies..."

oh very nice Saw you draw the final stages online Awesome work

That looks great Liz. One bad-ass sith coming up. ^_^

Gawd, that looks so much like my original fursona. XD

Very nice Liz. You once again really know how to use light to make an image POP.

Argh. I want to fav this but I don't want to push Seth off his pride of place yet :P

One Sith Lord please, hold the jaundiced eyes, thank you.

son of a bitch this sent tingles down my spine

Whoa, that's really badass X3

Wow, Liz. Great piece!
Love the dueling color reflections on either side.

Ecellent art, Liz. Brenda is one uber hot and sexy evil sith.

mind a critique?

She's a sexy beast, but the Dark Side thing has been done to death.

now that is bad ass.
keep up the great work Beth

woo this is amazing! well done really!

OMG! friggin awesome!

*"See's picture" hehe..., very bad ass by the way... I would be apprentice to the darkside...*

Evil prevails!!! And is sexy! XD

Impressive.

How does one get into digital artwork.

Looks like traditional skills would not apply to this sorta thing...

let me know,ty

Bitchin'

Quite possibly some of the best special effects coloring you've done. Gorgeous details, great pose.

This is why the Dark Side kicks ass.
We have furries and red lightsabers!

wow dont want get in a fight with her.

The Dark Side may have Cookies, but we have Rancor Steaks!

*prrfles, blushing not only from the picture itself, but from the reaction to it* Prrf! Didn't realize she'd be so popular, considering this is just a "What if" type of thing. =O.O=

In any case, in case I haven't said it before, awesome job with the new coloring technique! I still like how the blue contrasts with the red there. That and her sadistic, Joker-like grin make her look absolutely SCARY. But in a GOOD way. =O.O=

Totally worth commissioning you to do this. Thanks again! ^^;

Ahhh, I just don't give a sith. ^^

This pic has more awesomeness than can possibly be measured.

I've got a bad feeling about this....lol

Looks kick-ass!

Just... whoa! :XP

Dark side... W00t! The dark lords of the sith would be proud, love how you added the force lightning! "Unlimited POWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!"

Very well drawn! Absolutely love it!
