Commission Problem Solving: Communication

A few months back, I asked artists and commissioners what their main or common complaints were in regard to the other group. The top complaint I got from both sides was the lack of effective communication. This is completely understandable, and I've seen this happen time and time again. The second top complaint from commissioners is about completion time - the time it takes Artists to finish commissions. Some commissioners said it took 2-4 years to get a completed work. I'm going to give a little comparison here that will hopefully shock artists that take that long: Michelangelo painted the majority of the Sistine Chapel in 4 years. Le...

Guide for Artists and Commissioners

Every now and then I see some general complaints from Artists and Commissioners both. I thought I’d take some of these common issues and complaints and make a write up for it. Feel free to add any comments that you’d like, or any issues.I feel like sometimes there’s a miscommunication between what commissioners expect and how artists work. The fault is on both ends. I’m hoping that with this writeup, I can help artists and commissioners communicate better and understand things from both sides a little better.This was done kinda hastily in notepad, so revisions/edits may be forthcoming (Especially if people bring up new points that sho...

Epic Resources List - How to Get Awesome at Art by Andantonius, journal

Epic Resources List - How to Get Awesome at Art

Nov 17, 2014

I often get asked how to get better at drawing and painting. While the main answer is practice there are a lot of fantastic resources that will make the journey far easier; below is a list of the ones I have personally found most useful. Some are free and some are paid, if you want the paid ones please actually buy them and support the hard-working artists that spend their valuable time providing quality education.Also this is enough material to last you for, literally, years, so get one at a time, study it in detail, then once you're thoroughly finished move on to the next one. Reading a book or watching a dvd doesn't make you better. Wha...

My Bio

Artist, wannabe-writer, creator of The Realm of Kaerwyn and Black Tapestries. Currently administrator of Kaerwyn's Public RP. I also run a store in Second Life known as The WereHouse that makes animal and anthro avatars.

I don't write Kaerwyn by myself. Each character is controlled by their own player (Since all of them are actual characters in Kaerwyn's RP) So a little shoutout:

Renard is played by Oshay. (He doesn't have a dA account)

Niixa is played by NeekIiroz

Tunc is played by seasonofclarity

Callie is played by LastHowl

All the other characters are mine.

No Comic Updates This Week (March 2025)

0 min read

Due to all the stuff going on in my life, I ran out of buffer. So I'm not posting this week to try to rebuild it. If you really want to help out, and get to see another 6 pages, consider subscribing to my Patreon or Ko-Fi! https://www.patreon.com/Jakkal https://ko-fi.com/jakkal

I could use some help.

0 min read

I could use some help. In December, I had some dental work done, which $1000 was supposed to be covered by my insurance, I had to fork out the rest (about $4000). Now they're saying insurance denied it & I have to pay the other $1000. I'm already feeling overworked from trying to keep up with the comics and extra commissions to pay off that $4k. Another $1k doesn't help at all. If anyone can help, I really appreciate it: https://ko-fi.com/jakkal https://www.paypal.me/JakkalWolf

Someone gave me Core

0 min read

Thank you, to whoever gave it. It was anonymous so I have no idea who did. Because of this, I have created folders for the Kaerwyn comic up to Issue 25. I'll start posting the comics here again. And in the process, contributing to poisoning the well. I will replace the update-notice images with the actual pages when I get a chance, since some people made comments on them and I don't want to lose them. Thanks again.

The way the love between Endemyon and Niixa is built is very unique and beautiful, it got me really emotional. Just wondering, have you ever considered making a short animation to bring life to the characters, Jakkal? I'd be honored to be part in a collaborative project of it if we can make it happen

Jakkalwolf have you ever thought of drawing a world map of raekarta? That is if you're interested.

Ngl I felt very tempted to join the rp server like two or three times, even today which could make it the third or fourth? I honestly don't know, however to be honest with myself, the moment I sat down to read all the rules and regulations, I thought to myself:" God this is gonna eat me alive I'd say" specially when it came to the character creation, it made me feel like anything I'd make would be rejected on the spot, specially when there's a "Keep your char as normie as possible" limit, I definetly suck with those cause the best I'd hope to write is a wimp with a weak will that will die in any moment when facing a world of supernatural nature because being sincere that's what honestly happen in my vision.

Hey Jakkal, i have a question that i wanna say about your comic series you been doing.

If II may offer some advice, you should add links to "next" and "previous" pages of your comics in the description of your entries. That way, no one as to search your gallery for the page where they left off.

Just throwing in my two cents. ;)
