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

Please, MD; I owe you the world.
In total honesty - I have about a handful of sketches of Little Bird that I've done over the last 6 months and I haven't thought that ANY of them would result in an image a quarter as nice as the beautiful artwork of HybriD that you did. I have callously kept you waiting for an irresponsible amount of time, but I want to give you something that measures up to the gorgeousness you kindly made for me. I still get glassy-eyed when I look at the work you've done for me. ; u ;
Despite that I totally owe you, any work for you is on the house, boy-o!

Ha, that is more than I deserve (you are a nice person! :D) I haven't been good at posting to DA isn a long while, but I keep loving your work.

Little bird aside, it would be fun to have anything you make drawn for me! I say if the subject matter is fun for you, that's what I want! ^^

Pssssh, you deserve constellations in your name, MD. Your wondrous personage extends beyond my vocabulary's ability to quantify. <3

Of course, the universe has always seemed to have a rather dry sense of humor. I was just finishing Little Bird for you last night, and my computer's power supply blew out. Fortunately, I save very often while working, so I didn't loose any of her, but I also can't get to her while my computer is trapped in a coma. : C
I'm hoping I can get a new power supply in a reasonable amount of time and get the poor thing up and running again. I am so sorry. D ,:

WHAAAAAAT????

Fie, universe. FIE!!!

I am crazy excited, tho. I feel like I've contributed to your computer's death. Although one of the signs of the impending apocalypse, maybe?

Aww, no way are you in any way related to the untimely death of my computer - you're too wonderful for that.
Turns out my processor punched it's number. However, my best friend (who is officially one of the sweetest human beings on this Earth) just bought me a new computer. D :
It just arrived today and it's gorgeous. All I need to do is transplant the old harddrive into it and I'll be up and running again; not to mention I'll finally get to finish that Little Bird for you!! *confettii*

Oh, I plan to stay nice and available! Thank you so much for your interest! <3
I'm glad to hear you're doing commissions as well!! Heck, I'd love one from you too, to be honest. In fact! Maybe you'd be interested in doing a trade with me sometime in the future when your time clears up a bit? I think that'd be fantastic - I absolutely LOVE your colour work. : D

Well I'm available currently. C :
I'd be more than happy to get started one something for you, if you'd like. No rush on your half, of course. I'd definitely want you to handle any prior tasks first!
And thank you! You are too sweet. I have really enjoyed watching your art grow and evolve - that's such a beautiful thing to me. Gosh, I'm really excited about this! : D
Go ahead and shoot me a note whenever you'd like with what character[s] you'd like me do for you. C :
