So… it’s that time again! I’m in a financial crisis. I started a new job a while ago, but they haven’t paid me yet since my pay is commission based and I’ve had no luck thus far. I’m confident I can succeed in this job and prospects are looking fairly optimistic.

But unfortunately, certain expenses snuck up on me that I thought I would have more time to pay.

This is Tumblr. Everywhere you look you’ll see a post with someone needing money and resorting to pleading and depending on the goodwill of others. I’ve been able to make ends meet through the commissions of people willing to lend a hand.

What I’m trying to say is this.

Effective immediately, my reduced commission prices will become a PERMANENT change (until I’m certain my job will pay me soon)

SO HERE ARE MY PRICES

$1-$5 - rough sketch (head to waist sketches)

  • What this means is that a head sketch of a character will only cost you $1. Busts are $3. Waist sketches will be $5. This includes light coloring/grayscale.

$10-$15 - cleaned sketch (Bust to waist to full body sketch)

  • Starting at the head, for $10 you’ll receive a cleaned sketch with grayscale (or some color). $13 you’ll get a waist. $15 will get you a full-body

$20-$25 - colored drawing (head to waist)

  • Following the principle. $20 gets you a cleaned and colored head sketch. $23 gets you a waist. $25 gets you a full body. This won’t be super complicated.

I’ll continue to update prices should demand rise. I’ve been trying to create new content worthy of being purchased but Tumblr can be notoriously garbage especially since their “Best stuff first” feature got introduced.

Writing prices

$10 for 1k words

  • That’s right. If you’ve read my work before (be it with snk or VLD) I’ll be opening written commissions as well. For 10 bucks and a prompt, I’ll write you anything up to 1k words. (Be forewarned, I can and will decline anything explicit)

$15 for 3k

  • Pretty self-explanatory here.

$20 for 5k

Anything over 7k and we’ll negotiate. Shipping isn’t a problem. I’ll literally write whatever ship you want.

For anything large, like a project involving multiple chapters or a fanart piece included, that is also up for negotiation.

I accept PayPal only.

Please be a pal and reblog this. Signal boost if you must. I’d really appreciate the work. I’m over a few hundred dollars in the red and I’m trying not to stress out over it. Soon tho. Soon I’ll be able to achieve a good paycheck and then I’ll be able to do some really cool stuff.

Also if you’re interested.

For just $1-$5 you can support me on my personal Patreon! Patrons have access to high-resolution art, live streams, speedpaints, and more!

Thank you, everyone!

i seriously gotta change my name here jeez Hey, there cubs! I’ve finally opened my own Patreon!

So, I lost a job and I’ve been unable to get a new one for a while, so I’m really strapped for cash. My situation is not as dire as most people out there and I’m not asking for much tbh, mostly with what I can make with my art hopefully will cover basic expenses like food and emergency stuff while I keep looking for a stable job.

With all the work I’ve put in the manga and a ton of other things (not to mention a couple of commissions I’m still working on) I also gotta consider the stuff to you know... survive lol

Not to mention I’m really hoping to move to Japan and go study there within the next year. SO what does this mean?

I’ve got fairly cheap tiers!

  • $1 dollar tier gets access to all of my art--this includes WIPs, Big Projects, Unfinished pieces, and warm up exercises!
  • $3 dollar tier gets access to first live streams and tips and stuff--meaning I’ll be able to offer tutorials and coloring things for anyone who wants to improve!
  • $5 dollar tier gets access to first-choice requests! Meaning--those who donate five bucks a month will get thrown in a raffle and the winner gets to get an HQ Drawing of a choice character-- full body and with simple BG and effects (a $60 value!)

Those who wish to donate more will get special rewards as well! But for now, we’ll cover those three basic tiers.

While I already posted a bunch of my stuff on here and continue to do so, I’ll be incredibly grateful for anyone who considers donating just a dollar a month. It seems like a little amount but every bit helps ease the tension.

Thanks for all your support!

You guys are seriously the greatest.

AND HEY, the first 20 people who sign up will get ONE FREE REQUEST (which is roughly a $25 dollar value per sketch)

THE FIRST 10 will get ONE FREE COLORED REQUEST

THE FIRST 5 will get ONE FREE COLORED AND SHADED REQUEST! (update: FIRST THREE SPOTS DOWN, TWO TO GO!)

not kidding!

GO FORTH!

I am raising money to go on a service mission for a year and a half. So far, getting serious work in a business has left me in a bust and I would like to raise as much money as possible in order to go and work in a country where people need help. This could be anywhere, but I would like to have raised enough money to be prepared for anything. If you would like to help me with this endeavor, I had prices listed below. :)

I am opening 5 commission slots. 

:star: Prices are: :star:

  • Rough sketch Bust: $5.00 USD
  • Rough sketch bust w/color: $6.00 USD

Note: These prices are dependent on the drawing of 1 character. Additional characters are $2.00 USD each - animals and invented creatures are $2.50 USD (depending on detail I can haggle prices)

The addition of weapons, special attacks and dynamics can also range from an additional 50 cents USD - $2.00 USD (to the additional cost.)

I accept all requests for commissions - I will not do SMUT or extreme gore. IF A BG IS A SIMPLE USE OF GRADIENT - THE BG IS FREE.

SPECIAL: 

:star: Comic Strip Prices :star:
*prices for characters are the same. 2 dollars each.

  • Rough sketch - 2 Panel: $ 7.00 - $7.50 USD

  • Lineart Colored - 4 panel: $17.50 - $20.00 USD
(BG's will be priced in level of difficulty and can be negotiated)

:star: The Process :star: 

Once you have taken up a slot, (if you have an account here: I will send you a message. You'll have 24 hours to respond before I give up your spot) and you would rather I email you: please message me your email address. I will give you 24 hours to respond to my first email. 

I would like to know what it is you want. If you have a particular song or something that you would like me to work with to get the atmosphere you want, feel free to give me whatever you feel is necessary for me to get a good grasp on the project. You can go into as much detail as possible, in fact, I would prefer a good set of instructions. 

Once we've gotten a good idea on what you want, we'll talk prices. Once a price has been settled, I'll send a couple of really basic sketches - and from those we'll narrow down what is preferred. Once we've gotten down to a good drawing and the specifics are taken care of I will give you a time frame on when the project will be completed. 

As a rule, I will not take a project on until I have received payment. Payment plans are optional and I will accept a deposit if the full amount cannot be made. However, if they payment is not made in full - I will discontinue the project until the full payment is made. 

As an artist, I make it a key point to stay in communication with you throughout the drawing process, letting you know if any situations arise that complicate or the like. 

If there is a specific date in which the project must be made - say, an overnight thing -
* I will charge an additional $10.00 USD for Speed Work. 

I ACCEPT PAYPAL ONLY.

(my paypal information will only be given once you've assured me that you will be making payment.)

First come, First serve!

Thanks again!! :D (Big Grin)

You're browsing on DeviantArt and checking out art, your brother/sister/best friend/random buddy asks you to go check out their latest art they just uploaded, you check it out and scroll in the comments and you see a comment that just about makes you want to slam your face on your desk.

The comment could range from, "YOU SUCK"/"THIS IS STUPID"/"THIS IS SO WRONG"/"YOU ARE SO STUPID"

The overall point - "GRR, THIS ART SUCKS!! THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD REALLY BE! GOD WHY ARE PEOPLE STUPID?!"

You are faced with a decision - you could
A. Ignore it, write constructive criticism to the artist and pretend the commentator didn't write that.
B. Write a snappy comeback to the commentator and tell them the same basic knowledge we've all been spoon fed since we entered the Internet world.
("If you don't like it, MOVE ON.")
C. Agree with said commentator and troll along with them because you're bored.

Now, if you are a pretty mature person and know how to handle those comments you'll choose A. If you're generally mature and have a strong sense of Justice, you'd choose B. If you happen to enjoy joining immaturity and/or playing devil's advocate you'd prolly choose C.

Let's say, you went with option B - As I did in this case. This was the art of a close friend, in this case my older brother. I had watched him work hard on the art for several days, making sure he got character designs right and even had to teach himself to use a different program so it would look as best as he could make it. Of course there were people who disagreed with his art choice, he would explain and the problem was generally solved for the most part as people eventually just let bygones be bygones.

Until one little girl got in the way. Her comment was very much like the above aforementioned examples up there. Of course, this was my brother's work - he worked real hard on this piece - and she just blatantly shot it down like it was the most idiotic thing done. Of course I took offense to this, who wouldn't? And wrote a simple reply, making sure to spell it out "IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, MOVE ON" and called her out on her immaturity.

NEXT SCENARIO -

the offender throws THIS out - "MY BEST FRIEND DIED, SO I CAN DO WHAT I WANT!!! F*** OFF!!"

What do you do? AAAAAND --- COMMENT!!

(I'll let you guys know what I actually wrote back when she wrote me this, I just want to see what you would do in that case.)
