So folks who've been watching me for a while have probably noticed that for the last 3 years or so, I've pretty much only been posting recreation work rather than my own original comics or illustrations. Every so often I feel like I should be doing more 'original' work in my own style, like a comic or even more book illustrations. However, I've been kind of depressed and/or anxious for a lot of the last year or so - mostly for fairly obvious reasons (insert various pictures of 2020/21 here), and an assortment of pretty basic personal anxieties. Doing original work takes a heck of a lot of energy and enthusiasm that I just haven't had for a while, doing compositions, layouts, etc. really takes a lot out of me. Yet, I still feel soothed by the act of inking - it's a great anxiety relief - so I keep myself busy doing recreations. Luckily enough I've had a steady client wait list for 3 years running, so I've always got something to work on. It's also a good way to have steady funds

Summer Cover Recreation Commissions

0 min read

ETA: My commission list is now closed - I'm going to be focusing on new comics and personal recreation pieces for a while. Now that I've completed both of my last two big illustration assignments, I've decided I'm going to spend the next few months doing cover recreations only...and then pick up some more book illustration assignments in late Fall.If you are interested in a classic cover recreation (silver/bronze age - not really a fan of doing recreations where there's a lot of computer color & typesetting), here is what I'm asking:11x17" cover recreation ($100 each) - all logos, trade dress/etc hand-drawn on Strathmore 300 series brist...

Quandry regarding older, but popular work.

0 min read

Between 10-15 years ago, I used to draw comic page commissions where I would offer to illustrate a page of script by the commissioner. The idea was that this would set me apart from all of the artists doing mostly pinup work, and it also sounded like a fun project. It *was* pretty fun for a while, although the kind of jobs that would come my way quickly transitioned (so to speak) into mostly fetish or transformation pieces. I was OK with this for a while, and did them for a couple of years. I felt an ego boost from having folks enjoy my work and be willing to pay for it, but eventually wasn't real happy with the subject matter and cease...

Hello, I have some questions to ask

1.) Are you open or still open for requests?

2.) If you're open or still open for requests, are they free or paid?

3.) If your requests are paid, how much will they cost?

4.) When it comes to request, do you accept OC'S?

5.) In Requests, do you accept sfw's or nsfw's?

6.) Do you accept free request trials for first timers?

There, that's all I have to ask,

Thank you

Great questions, here are my answers - I have a feeling you're looking for pieces other than recreations, but this info may be also valuable for others as well:

1. My commission list is generally open, but new recreation pieces will generally take me 2-3 weeks to get to. Then usually they take about a week each to finish.
2. My commissions are paid - if you look at my gallery, they're all ink-on-bristol board. Each takes me between 12-30 hours each, and at my rates I still make less than minimum wage.
3. The rates vary based on size of the board I'm working on, and complexity of the recreation. I can go over those in private messages if you are interested.
4. OCs - Not really, I'm really only doing recreations of past works, as I have a clientele for those. If you look through my gallery, you can see many examples of styles I can recreate, ink on paper.

5. SFW/NSFW - again, I'm only doing recreations - but if you had one in mind that was NSFW, I'm generally open to basic nudity, but not sexual situations.
6. No. I have a long list of commissions at any given time, and my labor has value. Unfortunately I'm not doing free or trade work, sorry.

Thanks,

I'm starting a fanmade revival of the short lived show, Cartoon Sushi from MTV. Let me know what animated shorts you would like to see in an episode.https://archive.org/details/@dydee_soule

Happy birthday 🎂 🎉 🎈

Added to my watch simply because of the magnificent works within! I am also a lifetime comic book fan, although those would be British comics, with emphasis on 2000A.D. (featuring Judge Dredd).

I loved the 2000 AD reprints we got here in the 1980s in the states via Eagle Comics.
