Well, that phishing thing has been up since february, time to put something else up, I'm terrible at updating my journal!

A reminder to all that I do accept commissions, I've gotten some notes in the past asking for commissions, but no payments or further discussion on those it seems. To those of you who have asked me about commissions in the past, note me again. You will still be able to get the rate you were originally quoted. All prices are as follows:

Sketch: $2-4 depending upon complexity (generally digital)
Lineart: $5-7 depending upon complexity (digital only)
Flat colors: $8-10 depending upon complexity
Colored and shaded, plain background: $10-12, depending upon complexity
Colored and shaded, full background: $20-25, depending upon complexity

Headshot icons are $5
Additional characters are $4 each

If you'd rather buy me something in exchange for your commission, which is sometimes cheaper... I AM looking to purchase some of the dragonball Z 'orange brick' remastered boxed sets... Currently a lot of fans are chucking them on ebay in a desperate attempt to raise money for the upcoming 'dragonbox' release. I know better than to ask anyone to fork over enough for one of THOSE

EDIT: The boxed sets don't have to be new, they just have to work. Lower price ranges on ebay for used boxed sets are around $10!

Anyway, most of you are probably here for the first line in which I said something about free art...


************** TL;DR-ers look here************************

I've recently gotten into DBZ again, and I'm greatly enjoying drawing in this style. Post references of your original DBZ character, and I will draw those which I feel inclined to draw. No guarantees, but as I rarely take requests, you may not get a better opportunity

I have also discovered these come in different flavors, there are also 'check out your valentines match' and 'take this fun IQ test', and probably many many more. I'd advise caution when clicking on links posted in random comments.

So everyone be careful~

If you do not know who the Vlogbrothers are, here is a brief summary:
On newyears day, 2007, John and Hank Green, two brothers that now live in different states, resolved to give up all forms of textual communication, most other types (except in emergencies), and communicate only via video blogs on youtube. Every weekday for a year, they did videos back and forth.

Must see videos:

Accio Deathly Hallows
[link]
Impatient for the release date of the final book in the Harry Potter series, Hank wrote a song to convey his feelings. This video is responsible for the bulk of their suscribers.

Q&A regarding Deathly Hallows
[link]
In which John helps answer some of the comments left on the Accio Deathly Hallows video, it is quite humourous and explains a bit about nerdfighterdom.

How Nerdfighters Drop Insults
[link]
In which John questions the validity of contemporary insults, such as 'you suck' and 'ur a nerd', and shows off his freshly catalogued home library.



What I like about these guys most, aside from how entertaining their videos are, is that they broadcast a very positive message. Being a nerd is a good thing, it is not only alright to be interested in things other than sports and television, it is AWESOME. Not to say there is anything wrong with television or sports. Being a nerd is only a bad thing if you let it be a bad thing, what it SHOULD mean is that you are able to do awesome things that not everyone else can do, like annagram, or quote obscure literature from the nineteeth century, or program computers. Whatever it is that makes you different also makes you unique, in a great way.

1) Tell you why I friended you
2) Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.
3) Tell you something I like about you
4) Tell you a memory I have of you
5) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you
6) Tell you my favorite piece from your gallery
7) In return, you must post this in your journal

Yes, I've finally cracked and posted a meme >.>

yaaaay birthday! I'm 24 this year, it won't be long until I stop paying attention entirely and have to do math to figure out how old I'm turning, I swear I stopped paying attention when I hit 19 XD

On an unrelated note I'm moving soon, so any art I owe will be (even more) delayed. Yay packing is a lot of work

I want to get my aunt a german romance novel for christmas, she grew up in germany and adores romance novels, the cornier the better. I want to get one that she doesn't already have, thought she has very few german books. I also want to get her one that is currently popular, and hopefully with good reviews.

If anyone who reads this journal lives in germany or knows someone that lives there, can you tell me the name of a book or series that is popular right now?

I would be very grateful for the help <3

Here are updated commission prices, as I mentioned in a previous journal:

Sketch - $5.00
Colored Icon (headshot only) - $6.00
Flat colored image - $8.00
Colored and shaded image, plain background - $12.00
Colored and shaded image, full background - $20.00
additional characters - $4.00 each

I raised them a bit, this way I don't get so sad when I try and translate them into per-hour wages >.>

As I said before, if you've already requested a commission, I will honor the old prices.

In the future I might do more of that 'buy me something in exchange for a drawing of anything you want (within reason)', and depending on what exactly you'd like to commission, it might be cheaper to buy me something ;D

I'd like to extend my profound apologies to the people whose commissions I've been shirking... at least I haven't tried collecting payments on those yet XD

I am still taking commissions though here are prices:

Sketch - $3.00
Shaded sketch - $5.00
Colored Icon (headshot only) - $5.00
Flat colored image - $8.00
Colored and shaded image, plain background - $10.00
Colored and shaded image, full background - $15.00
additional characters - $2.00 each

in one week I will be changing the prices, the only change I know for sure will be going into effect is that the colored/shaded with full background will be $20 instead of $15. If you message me before I post the updated prices next week, you can secure the old price. likewise I will not charge the people who I already owe commissions any more for them.

hmmm.. I feel inspired to write for some reason o.o

So, I was thinking of making some postcards to sell, to help with my fundraiser. I am getting pretty excited with the idea, but I want the postcards to be special, different from my normal stuff. I want a portfolio piece, something I can show to future employers to show them that I can do something other than Disney style lions... I'm not sure of what to do though. I'd like to step out of the African savannah for this project, I was thinking maybe something mythical, or maybe Egyptian themed.

Of course, my thought process is gunked up, and I can't think of anything besides what I DON'T want it to be XP;; I don't want it to be a lion, but I want people to like it enough to buy it... So I thought I'd ask the fans =3 What would you like to see me put on a postcard in the most professional style I can muster?

Thank you all in advance for your input ^^

also I'm still taking commissions prices are as follows:

sketch - $3.00
sketch with shading - $5.00
Computer colored, flat - $8.00
Computer colored, no background - $10.00
Computer colored, detailed background - $15.00
Fully colored and shaded icons - $5.00

as such I am doing a commission fundraiser o.o my prices are the same as before, but I'd like to really push the sketches =3 sketches are still priced at $3.00, they don't take long to produce, and it's a great way to help out ^^

my prices are as follows:

Sketch: $3.00
Sketch with shading: $5.00
Computer colored, flat no background: $8.00
Computer colored with shading, no background: $10.00
Computer colored with background: $15.00

The base charge per extra character is $2.00

I can do animals, anthros, and humans, mind you I'm very rusty on humans, a human might take longer for me to get right XD

Note me with your orders, I will draw you a sketch within 3-7 days, if you approve I will then take your payment via paypal. I also accept checks and money orders via snailmail, but you will not recieve your finished picture until payment is recieved.

also tips are appreciated, but not required ^_~

My goal for this fundraiser is to reach at least $100, it won't pay the entire cost of the machine, but every little bit helps!
