Hey folks - so here's the story, briefly: I'm looking to make a little extra money to supplement my income and possibly make a few folks happy with some character art in the process. I'm opening up for commissions, if anybody would be interested in that. C :,

I'm also trying to work as often as possible, but hours are getting thin. So what I'd like to offer is basic character art. Meaning, I won't be doing backgrounds, scenes, or anything like that. Just pretty generic character work; that way I can give you guys a good turn-around time and avoid burning my self out in the process. Keep in mind, this is all digital work done in Photoshop and no traditional media will be used, nor will any actual prints be mailed out; commissioner will be emailed a high-resolution format of the work done, and no finished work will be posted to my DA account unless the commissioner gives their permission to do so.  

I would like to offer four options, with four separate prices:

Sketch work for $5.00 each, one character. They'd be fairly tight sketches in a single colour and will always be full-body images, unless of course you don't want that.
( EXAMPLE: , )
Lineart work for $15.00 each, one character. These are finished lineart, so they're clean and smooth, and black and white. The only stuff I add in colour is hair, because I don't typically outline hair - if you don't want it in colour, just give me a heads up. These will always be full body unless requested otherwise.
( EXAMPLE: , )
Coloured work is $20.00 each, one character. This is the whole thing from start to finish, but in my colouring style, which is basically flat colours with some flat shade and simple highlight. Again - full body, unless requested otherwise.
(EXAMPLE: [Minus background] )
Chibi/SD work is $8.00 each, one character. These will all come completely finished; so sketch, lineart, colours. I am also willing to do very simple backgrounds with these. Such as in the examples. They will always be full body, unless requested otherwise.
( EXAMPLE: , )

Adding a second character to:
Sketches: +$2.00
Lineart: +$5.00
Chibi/SD: +$3.00
Coloured work: +$8.00

I will generally be drawing characters in fairly generic positions, or at least something that fits their personality; I don't plan to charge any extra for more complex poses or anything, that'll have to taken be case by case I suppose, but regardless, please allow me a bit longer turn-around time for anything I might have to do a little research and practice for. I'm pretty open to all character types: fanart and OCs; humans, animals, anthros, therios, monsters, and robots [though be gentle on the robots, I'm...not that great at them. So, just a heads up on that.]  

If you're interested, please note me about it and just let me know how many works you're looking for, which kind of work you're looking for (sketch, chibi, etc.), and that's it. I'll get back to you as soon as possible to let you know how soon I can begin or - if this actually works out for me - where your place is on a waiting list. After I get back to you and I'm ready to take your request, you can go ahead give me all the details, specifics, reference images (which are certainly not required, but are great!). Since I haven't seen how this all works out with my schedule yet, I can't quite quote any turn-around times, but I promise you I'll make it as soon as possible and I'll keep you updated on the progress throughout.

Payment would be via PayPal and is generally accepted at any time throughout the course of the commission.
Just as a full disclosure, I want to reserve the right to refuse any request at my discretion.
----  

Thanks a lot for taking the time to read through my blathering and hopefully I've managed to interest some folks into purchasing some art. : D

HI HI HI HI!!!!

Saw that you're lurking around again. I also saw that you've recently been on the PercyxMoonie group page. It's good to see you again :glomp: , even though we haven't had much activity. :(

Good to hear from you!
Yeah, I've been lurking about since getting some notifications about the new submissions; read through them and I love em'. =u=

I'm so sorry I have yet to actually submit something to the group. Things have been so crazy for the last forever, and I've gotten myself caught up in plenty of commission activity that I can't afford to not accept, so that's been consuming.
But I've actually made a lot of progress gaining ground on those lately and I've got almost all of next week off of work! So I'd like to make you a promise - if I can finish up the remaining few commissions I've got going right now, in a reasonable amount of time over the next few days, I'd like to draw something for the group. . u .
The humanization of both Percy and Moons are great, so I'd love to take a crack at that. <3

Aww, I miss you as well and I'm sorry I have been so scarcely active around there for the last while. : C
I've been so busy at work and then with what time I have left I fill it with a little sleep and then some commission work if I can manage. It's just been so hectic; I'm sorry! I'm hoping to get more active there again soon and maybe even open up a little art thread again. C :
How've you been though? Everything is well I hope!

Ahh I lost you from my devwatch! Sorry D: Gotta add you back again! (Just saw your icon in my recent visitors and wondered about not seeing your art for a while...oops...)

Aw, how sweet, thank you! . u .
I have you on a priority bookmark. I don't know why I never +watch folks here; I think it's just some weird habitual thing that I settled on when I first joined and it stuck. I keep a folder in my bookmarks though with Deviants that I check up on almost every other day.

Haaah how funny, I did the same thing when I first joined, and I never favorited anything at first either!

Haha, isn't that a weird compulsion?! I don't know what it is that causes it. I think it's some strange ocd-fueled need to categorize things the way I want it, instead of the way the site does it. Even though DA handles things just fine.
Maybe we're also just nuts. Could be just nuts.

Hey Ravenshield,
Thanks for the nice comment! The rpg i was working on is not published; it was a school project for my masters degree.
Thanks for the interest in my work!

Cheers,
Sander
