Because I know a guy that might be willing to pay a handsome sum for that . . . ninja

daaaaaaaaaaamn . . . I just wondered 'cause I could use some art of an OC from Bleach. Your tagline was missed, indeed . . . but doesn't mean your work isn't appreciated now.

Well, I did end up getting ears after all- dead ears. Mickey skull face with ears decorated with cobwebs. I did see many people with the bride and groom ears, but thought them rather tacky.

(That's probably the main reason we didn't get those bride/groom ears. Especially when Disney was pretty much just handing out 'celebration' buttons that had 'just married' on them. We came home with lots of buttons.)

That is me, the wife, my two kids, and a niece and nephew. We took them along for the ride because they never got out of the state before, so we went across the country. Was a once-in-a-lifetime trip for them, and they seemed to really enjoy it.

That was nice of you to take them. :3

Eylios - that drawing is totally awesome! (I too have missed the 'art student' classification).

I just quickly trolled the mini-shop forums, and for a color of that quality I think you could charge 200k-300k+, depending on the coloring or the pose, or if you think it was worth your time. I think 100k-200k would be lowballing the market for similar works, though my sampling may be off.

B&W line work or sketches would be less, of course, probably around 100k for clean line work and maybe 50k for sketch line work. And all those prices assume full-body poses. Half-body and headshots would be less, as I assume they're easier. XD

If you're too busy to open a shop, what may work better is to troll people looking for commissions. There are lots of threads with people saying 'looking for X to be drawn, have XXXk funds available'. That way you know they could pay you. All you really need is to show 'examples' of what your commission style is; which pretty much means you only need to copy/paste the same information and wait for a taker. And you'd only need to do that when you actually have time to draw, AND you can avoid commissions you'd rather not do!

Always looking for avi art, and still trolling for OC arts! 3nodding

Just one of many offers you could take him up on.

I was thinking of opening an art shop, but the only reason I have so much time on my hands NOW is because I happen to have a four day weekend - Monday is teacher work day, and then Tuesday is election day.

I've never done commissions, so I have no idea how to price myself, as awkward as that sounds.

AND YES I CAN DRAW LIKE THAT.

I take it we missed the "art student" classification along the line, huh?

I'd haaaappily pay for some Ava art from you :O cause you're pretty good biggrin
Only problem is I don't feel like I have enough DX
Could maybe give you some sort of cash shop item for one though :3

I mean that is if you're up for doin one?  

[Magni Prime]

Hold up there, Noob Saibot! I was first in line for commissions, if she is up for em. wink

My costume was perfect. I went as a person that gives a s**t at work. stare  

[Magni Prime]

Am I the only one that smiled when the fact came to my attention that our guild has . . . 666 members for Halloween? xd  

[Magni Prime]

Yeah, I just noticed that today, and had to laugh. blaugh
