Just me?
1 min read
Or does it bother other people when you're seeing the "other stuff by <your username here>" that they seem to be really old things? I see like the exact same stuff everytime I look at those. I mean, it's not even my good stuff from back then. Just like, my old random shit.

Why do I get more active artistically this time of the year despite not really focusing on Valentines day?
I think it's all the exposure to the color red.
I really like red.
Anyway, poetry incoming.

Opening Comissions

Because I like making art and I also like money.
MONEYMONEYMONEYMONEYMONEY.
Just kidding. But really, I'm a college student who has at this point moved out and between work and chores and sleeping and...other...responsible...adult things, I am not doing a lot of artsing. I find this mostly to be that, when I get done with my mindless job, I am tired and in the habit of being mindless. This means I have no inspiration to make art, unless I have a very, VERY good idea that hit me recently enough for Walmart to have not killed it yet, and nothing standing in the way of making it.
That is to say, I lack motivation.
But you know what does a really good job of motivating me to get stuff done?
When people are expecting it.
And furthermore, when they're paying me for that expectation.
Because I mean, sheesh, if you're paying for it, why am I making YOU wait for what you're paying for and ME wait for more things to feed mypokemon/pony/dragon addiction self with? Ahaha. Ha.
So I don't know if Deviantart has any policy set up for extracting commissions within the site. I don't think so, but if there is, someone tell me so I don't call down the mightay hammer upon my own head.
Either way, send me a note and we'll talk. I go off of my time, effort, and resources used (calculating at the wage my job pays me now for time), and as such minimum price is liable to be around $10 (US) for a flatcolored tribal, $10 for a tribal wall-art with a third-party tribal (or lump them together at one time and minimum is $15). I'm also open to vector illustration and some cover art, though these are more difficult and time consuming, and therefore harder to estimate.*
I do not have the steadiest hand. Asking me to "draw your character" is not likely to end well. If I accept a commission not listed above**--such as a hand-drawn character portrait, painting, or sculpture--you have the option to not accept the work, and therefore not pay--if there was any form of "down payment", I will refund it. This means, however, that I retain complete and total rights to the work and will act as such in cases of unwarranted reproduction and/or use. If it was made out of tangible materials I will not send it, and may sell or reproduce it at my discretion. Not that I'm likely to, if it was so bad you didn't want it. I have my own set of standards, and I hate to fail to meet them. HOWEVER, if you have accepted the work and paid for it, I will not refund any monies. If you fail to pay...well, don't steal from me. I don't take kindly to it.
As far as what to send me, tell me what you want, what you want it of, how you want it, and anything special I should know (such as time-frames, whether it's intended for internet or printed display). If there's something I need or want to know about the work, I'll respond and ask. Reference pictures are always nice, especially if you have something specific in mind.
As far as paying me, I like and trust Paypal. Unless you can face me and hand me cash, I like this method the best. I plan on using my Etsy account for transactions--UNLESS DEVIANTART DOES IT BETTER SOMEHOW I DUNNO I'M NEW. I will not accept DA points.
[*Keep in mind these are minimums. I will not be accepting commissions of less than 10 USD*]
[**I will also let you know in-note and prior to sealing the deal if what you are asking me to do is within my "return policy"**]
Hopefully that deals with all of that, and you guys can make me make pretty things again. If you have any questions--even if something was just not clear or I omitted something important, please let me know, either in comment or in note if you're shy.

DEAR SWEET GOD I HAD ALL OF YESTERDAY OFF WHAT SWEET NECTAR IT WAS.
I have next to no time these days, and even so I'm pretty sure I'm botching one class. Art history teacher says "Oh I won't have you identify works by their creator or name, that's hard. I can't even do that." AND THEN SHE DOES. SHE ASKS FOR THE TIME AND THE LOCATION AND THE ARTIST AND WHO COMMISSIONED IT WHAT MADNESS IS THIS WOMAN FLINGING AT ME.
Next time I take a history class if it's art, I'm going to make sure it's ancient art, like cavepaintings, because I'll be damned if I'm gonna be able to keep Giotto and...and...everybody else separate.
Bah.

What have I been up to lately?
2 min read
Um, let's see...I've had a bit of work, christmas, some artsy stuff, and...oh yeah.
SKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM.
I'd never played an Elder Scrolls game myself before, but the internet hype got me interested and my sister gave it to me and my bro for Christmas, and now I'm wondering why nobody ever got me these before. The world is gorgeous and expansive and the interplay is wonderful and you can change perspective and...and...I killed a dragon under an aurora borealis. TWICE. Know how awesome that is? It's kind of awesome.
Anyway, we've got it for the Xbox and I don't have any screen capture stuff--yet--but my character is a level 19 Female Argonian who specializes in Heavy Armor, One Handed and Conjuration. She's goldenrod with red accents and wears the mask of the Dragon Priest Vokun--I've technically killed two of them, but in killing Krosis Sven died, and I was not going to walk all the way back with those dragonbones. Nuhuh. I'll take him down again sometime later, when my ally is less likely to die.
But yeah. That's what I've been up to. This game has really rekindled my once ridiculous passion for dragons, and with my upcoming tonsilectomy--that I've wanted for five years--you can prepare to face critical mass. Or not. Goodness knows I don't do much, and I have no idea what those painkillers are gonna do to me.
