I'm working hard to have seven more pages done within a month's time, then I will upload for you all to see. So don't forget about me.

I'v been working at Best Buy for over two months now, I'm full time, so that keps me very busy. On top of that, I had a college schedule to tend to, and that simply overwhelmed me.

However, I do want to announce, with great excitement, that as of today, I officially have my Associates Degree in Web Develpment! WOOO! All that hard work has paid off. I'm still going to continue my studies and attain a Bachelors in Fine Arts, but I won't start that until January, which means I have a nice break in between to both finish commissions and so some of my own artwork for a change.

Having that said, I hope y'all are having just the most blessed day ever, and I hope to hear from everyone soon.

Well first of all, I've come up with an all girl Rock band, and personally, I'm very excited to see what all I can do with this. As of now, I'm thinking a comic series, but possibly branch into animations later.

I proudly present the first of three band members: Sophie Williams, the drummer. This image is small, so you'll want to find the picture in my gallery for a better view.



Bio

Name: Sophie Williams
Age: 20
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 110 lbs
Favorite Color: Green
Favorite Bands: Weezer, All American Rejects, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Fallout Boy, Jimmy Eat World, Blink 182, Sum 41, Good Charlotte, Family Force 5

That's all I have for now, I'll try to write down more information about her later on, including a back story. So stay tuned! Also, I'm gong to release images of the other two band members in the near future as well, along with the band name (yes, I already came up with the name, I promise ). The next band member featured will be the bassist, and you really don't want to miss out on that. Let's just say she and Sophie are on two completely different brainwaves... maybe that will keep you thinking.

Please comment and give some input, the more encouragement I get, the more motivated I am to get to this. I have some commissions to catch up on, but will still be working on this project as well, so be ready for it. Again, I would really appreciate your support, thanks!



Commission Info ]]> *Melonie1121 http://Melonie1121.deviantart.com/journal/18671213/ http://Melonie1121.deviantart.com/journal/18671213/ Wed, 04 Jun 2008 22:40:38 PDT Clubs!

Hey all, just a quick note here. I'm involved in two clubs now, but am interested in joining more, so if you know of any I may be interested in, let me know! Thanks.

[link] ]]> *Melonie1121 http://Melonie1121.deviantart.com/journal/18442092/ http://Melonie1121.deviantart.com/journal/18442092/ Thu, 22 May 2008 05:07:55 PDT Please read for full commissioning info.

All artwork from me will be sent digitally. Image resolutions may vary, usually sent at 1000 X 1000 (depending on dimensions) pixels, but may be bigger or smaller. Anything above said size must be requested ahead of time.

Prices

Core Character- $40-$60 example: [link]

Additional characters on same page- $25-$35 each

Chibi character- $30-$40 example: [link]

Additional chibi on same page- $15-$20 each

Backgrounds- Negotiable, depending on difficulty. Simple backgrounds, such as the one shown in the Bust and Chibi character examples, are no additional charge.

Additional animals or items- Negotiable, depending on difficulty.
Prices on any said drawing may be more or less depending on the difficulty and amount of detail requested. Prices will be discussed before payment is made.

Prints

I’m sorry, but at this time, I do not offer prints. Though I would like to work on this in the future.

Price Note

Art is a very time consuming and tedious process. Of course the time varies, depending on the person; however, particularly, I spend 8+ hours per character, and usually more than that. Therefore, my prices, if counted per hour, are even under minimum wage. Please keep this in mind, and do not feel as if I’m being unfair or charging too much, because it really does take a lot of time.


Payment

Paypal preferred, but personal check is accepted as well (keep in mind, if using a personal check, I much receive payment in full before starting the commission)

PLEASE NOTE

Prices are subject to change, depending on various factors, but will, however, be discussed before any payment is made.
Exclusive rights to a particular drawing will increase the price of the commission. Otherwise, all rights of said commission belong to me. Therefore, giving me the rights to sell prints, use for advertising, etc. In this case, the buyer may not use the particular drawing for commercial use, be it selling prints, advertising, etc. without my permission. Purchasing exclusive rights will result in the forfeit of my rights to profit from the artwork(s) with the exception of adding it to my portfolio. All rights will be given to the buyer, giving them the rights and ability to use the artwork(s) for their profit. However, this does NOT give the right to claim the artwork(s) was made by anyone else but myself.


Time Frame

I do not work on time frames; however, will try to meet a reasonable deadline as best to my ability, though never guaranteeing it. I understand that the buyer essentially waits for me, and I respect that. This is why I put in every effort to finish the commission as soon as I can, but I can never guarantee a specific deadline. Granted, simpler works are usually done in under a week; however, I do have a day job and a full time college schedule, so when the workload in either of these increase, my commission time decreases. As a result, the commission process is longer.
I do, however, take pride in my promptness, and generally, I am very quick. Though, for my own safety, I cannot make any promises regarding time. Other than my outside obligations, I am very particular about my work. I take a lot of time on my commissions, and will not consider an artwork finished unless it is up to par with my expectations. Until the artwork has met said requirements, it is not complete. This is my method of gauging commission completion as opposed to a direct time frame.

Commission Process

You may contact me through email or Deviantart. I ask that commission requests are as detailed as possible. Adding reference images is option, if you are very particular of how you want the artwork to look, but not necessary. The main details I ask for is the style you are looking for, sex of the character(s), race of the character(s), character(s) hair, eye, and clothing color (creative liberty on my part is always an option), addional characters (if applicable), backgrounds (if applicable), etc.

After reading the description, I will contact you and either accept or deny the commission. I reserve the right to deny a commission request if I do not agree with the subject matter or find it too difficult for me.

If I have accepted your request, I will quote a price. Additional content or excessive modification implemented afterward, during the commission process, will increase the price. I will notify you of this before implementing said changes, an... ]]> *Melonie1121 http://Melonie1121.deviantart.com/journal/17979315/ http://Melonie1121.deviantart.com/journal/17979315/ Tue, 22 Apr 2008 16:29:16 PDT
I'm going to make this post short and sweet for now, temporarily, before I come up with something better.

Simply stated, I'm open for commissions. I really enjoy doing these for people, and I would love to do even more! Feel free to send me a note or an email if you're interested. I'm practical and will work with your budget.

Thanks for reading, take care!
