Contest time, anyone?

Journal Entry: Thu May 17, 2012, 7:20 PM





Brookkit is holding an OC design contest. HERE's all the information. This was a fun side project that helped me relax after working on a portrait all day. I highly recommend entering if you're in need of character design practice or looking to score cool prizes. Best of luck to all who decide to enter! :heart:

Here are my submissions:

I need to update this journal...

Journal Entry: Fri Jul 29, 2011, 8:42 AM





I use tumblr for pretty much everything now. I hardly visit any of the sites I used to. Social networking, blogging, searching for music/vids/pics, posting art... EVERYTHING is tumblr! It's also nice to interact with people who obsess over the same things that I do, haha. Mostly because I get overly fan-girly and flail over a ton of things.

COMMISSION PRICING (THESE ARE FLEXIBLE)

Journal Entry: Fri Jul 29, 2011, 7:51 AM


:bulletyellow::bulletblack:Please do not comment on this journal. We will discuss purchase and negotiate prices in private. Just letting you guys know that I'm open for commissions. There will be up to SEVEN SLOTS per month given to tumblr followers (since nearly ALL my customers come from there), while there are THREE SLOTS per month given to those here on dA. I may add more if most of my commissions are quick/easy. Interested? Please send me an ASK on tumblr, OR NOTE me here.

:bulletgreen::bulletblack:Linked here from Facebook or a friend? If you don't have (nor wish to make) a dA or tumblr account, it's all good! You can still send me an anonymous ASK on tumblr with an initial art request. Just include your name and email (without the .com part) so I can follow up with you in private. But keep in mind that I sometimes do freebies for tumblr followers when I feel like doodling. So joining tumblr might be to your benefit!

:bulletblue::bulletblack:GENERAL INFORMATION:
- Prices may vary depending on complexity; I'm open to negotiation (this includes point commissions).
- Work is done within a period of TEN days, possibly more depending on size and complexity.
- If you need me to rush a piece by a certain date, please let me know well in advance.
- All pieces are done at 300dpi to ensure quality.
- The smallest resolution I work in is 500x500 pixels (these are usually scaled down for use as icons).
- The largest resolution is 1000x1000 pixels, but I can go above that if you have specific printing/desktop parameters.
- I will do posters if requested, but for a slightly higher rate.
- Poster work will be sized at 8.5 x 11 inches and scaled up as desired.
- The lineart and flat color prices below can also be applied to my custom tattoo designs.
- If you want a full sleeve design, it'll cost a little extra.
- I specialize in bust portraits, but I can do full body. I draw and paint in anime, chibi, American comic, and realistic styles.

Please feel free to look through my gallery here for more examples.

GROUP PICTURE RATE - My group pictures are an additional 15% of the list price for each extra person.
Formula-- List Price + Number of Extra People (.15 x List Price) = Total Price
Below is an example for a large, full body, color piece. The list price is $30. I want myself, plus five more people in it.
$30 + 5 (.15 x $30)
= $30 + 5 ($4.50)
= $30 + $22.50
= $52.50

April is almost here, holy shit!

Journal Entry: Fri Mar 25, 2011, 3:27 PM





April is right around the corner, everybody! So here are a few updates from yours truly...

:bulletblue::bulletblack:I've had my tablet for almost a month now and I LOVE it. After numerous customer service calls, order cancellations and waiting, I received it on February 28, 2011 (a day I will never forget :heart:). It has been completely worth all of the trouble. I've adapted to it fairly quickly. My coloring shows obvious improvement, but I still have to work on my lineart. Inking is not my strong point, so adding nice clean lines after the initial sketch is a nightmare. :dead: But I promise I'll work hard to improve.

:bulletgreen::bulletblack:I renewed my premium Disney pass. Monthly payments of $31, ftw! :meow: I missed DL so much for the past couple of months. I finally have my weekend social life again! All of the science classes for my nursing program are stressful and require a lot of studying, so I cherish any down time I have. It has recently been spent at home on tumblr, drawing, or out and about with my family. But now I can add DL and more time with friends into the mix. HELL YEAH!!

:bulletyellow::bulletblack:I'm up to 170 followers on tumblr. The numbers aren't really important to me though. I love and appreciate every person who follows me, and I would feel that way even if I had 1 follower. HOWEVER, the numbers play a small role because I do kiriban in increments of fifty (50, 100, 150, 200). There are thirty remaining before I reach the next slot. Just a heads up!

My dad ended up paying for my tablet! :)

Journal Entry: Tue Jan 25, 2011, 1:54 AM





I used my Christmas money for books and school supplies and couldn't buy my tablet, so I got super sad. A lot has happened since then, including a fire in my family's house. Long story short: Everyone is fine, the house gets remodeled, and my dad got a check for personal effects. He decided to give me $200 toward my Intuos4 tablet, so it's coming in two weeks! EEEEEEEEE!

SO, I'm supposed to be getting a graphics tablet (FINALLY) with some of the glorious Christmas money I got... But hey guess what? Every apple store/best buy/circuit city/whatev in my area is sold out of the Wacom tablet I wanted. D: I have to wait another week for the new ones to arrive and be stocked. I shouldn't be complaining since I can finally AFFORD one, but I was so ready to break that bad boy in! I'm sick of my laptop's tiny touch-mouse. T_T Ah well. Another week.
