Bounding Through Time

Sometimes I wonder if I really made this.

Mainly because I hardly ever have the inspiration and the free time to make a picture that lives up to this one XD

Newest

You'll have to full view a lot of my pics, cause I'm a big fan of using transparency.
(If something looks weird and full of black, it most likely has transparency.)

But you look at everything in full view already, right?~

HARK! His ID moves! :0

Commissions Info - da da da DAAAAAAAA

Fri Jul 3, 2009, 6:22 PM
Those interested in having me draw to their whims read on! As I am currently on summer break, these prices will be a little lower than they will be once academic enslavement reclaims my soul in September.

So, some general notes when dealing with me and commissions:

    * I am open to attempting any subject, but am most familiar with Nintendo characters. My eternal weakness is canine anatomy. And I have a harder time with giant-eyed characters O^O

    * I will not post completed commissions of original characters without the consent of all rights holders, but will post fan-art

    * Prices will vary most with the style that I am attempting more than the number of characters that I am drawing

    * I will not draw pictures depicting explicit nudity or sexual situations, but I am ok with "artistically covered" figures or gentler expressions of love. (So, if you want yaoi, etc., I won't draw something that would make your conservative mum flip out, but a light kiss or skipping through a field of rainbow flowers is ok.) I might not post such pics on deviantART, though.

    * For what you pay for, I will make sure to do at least the minimum of what you ask, but if your idea truly inspires me, then I might go overboard. Sometimes I like to be generous! Sorry if you feel that you got less than someone who paid the same amount, but you can't buy artistic inspiration (unfortunately, otherwise I would have bought a truckload in June...)


Well, with that out of the way, on to the pricing! As I said, prices will fluctuate the most based on the style that you want, and if you want me to try a new style, just talk to me! I'd like to think I'm accommodating and flexible~

PRICES=========== - Guidelines more than actual rules ;D

All prices listed are in United States Dollars. If you will be paying from another country with a different form of currency, then I require you to make payments through PayPal. I'll be a nice guy and eat the conversion fees, unless you're paying for something too small for me to make a profit :P

Single character, crazy abstract background: $20

Examples: [link] or [link]
Everything is colored and shaded to a slight degree. These are fun to make!

White outlined, pseudo-Native American style
Single character: $10
Multiple characters: $15+

Examples: Single character: [link] Multiple characters: [link]
Flat color, no shading; style is reminiscent of old tapestries or cave paintings. Having a lot of characters will make the price go up accordingly, but you will need a lot of characters.

Woodcut Styles
Simple: $35
Added Gradient Shading: $45

Each additional character: +$7

Examples: Simple woodcut: [link] Added gradient shading woodcut: [link]
These are a little more time consuming than they appear, especially the gradient shading; I think I had close to ten layers of gradients on that example there XD I'd have a hard time trying to draw an intense action scene in either of these styles, and we'll have to talk if you want a background more detailed than abstract lines~

Simple background, Cell or Gradient Shading
Single character: $15

Each additional character: +$3~8

Examples:
Cell shading: [link] or [link]
Gradient shading: [link] or [link]
The cost of additional characters will depend on how complex they are, so I'll charge less for adding Jigglypuff than I would for, say, Garchomp. As further examples, I would only charge +$3 to add the Clefairy in this: [link] or +$5 for the additional Quilava in this:[link] Or, if it's a simple scene like this one:[link] then I'll just charge the base price.

Ken Sugimori-ish Style
Trainer and three Pokémon: $25

Each additional character: +$3~8

Examples: [link] or [link]
Colored and shaded, but no background (aside from stylistic colors and shapes). Again, the specific characters will affect the price. I'll also charge more for an action scene as shown above than if everyone's just posing.

Paper Card: $10

Example: [link]
That's right, this will be made out of real paper! (You know, that stuff they had back in the Cold War before computers created the Matrix.) If you're willing to pay the postage, this is the only thing in my catalogue that will actually be mailed to you, even if you live outside of the continental United States. Limit one character per card, but I will allow for personalized messages, free of charge, even if they aren't in magical, sexy English ~ so long as you give it to me with EXACT SPELLING XD
(I'll also cut you a deal if you order multiple paper cards at once, so I can send them all to you at the same time.)

Digital Paper Style: $25

Example: [link]
Fully colored, shaded, with a background. Again, not suited to action scenes too well.

Swap ID: $6 per frame

Example: [link]
Ever wanted to have an ID that expressed more than one aspect of your complex self at once? Here is the solution! Simple cell shading, transparent background. Or, I guess you could have any of the other styles I do, but that might cost more, depending on which style.

Minimalist Icon: $00.50, every 5th one free

Examples: [link]
Cute and cheap, but probably only worth buying in bulk or with another order. Unless you're crazy and would spend $205 to have me do every single Pokémon...
These will be made to any dimension or image type desired.

Chibis: $5 each or three for $12

Example: [link]
If you are a Pokémon Trainer, this is the cheapest way to get a pic of you and your favorite Pokémon, albeit not very detailed or realistically proportioned.

Abstractly Glowy (but not too abstract): $15

Example: [link]
Works better for simpler characters or designs, and makes for awesome T-shirt potential!

Flat-color Webcomic-style Comic: $10

Example: [link]
If you think you have a joke that would work as a comic, then tell me the script and I'll draw it out for you! This price-point only covers simple gags that aren't much longer than three panels, and certainly doesn't cover multiple-page comics or intricate story arcs.

Story-driven Comics
Black and White: $20 per page
Flat color: $25 per page
Shaded: $30 per page
Discounts for multiple pages on a case-by-case basis

Example: [link]
These are more expensive because of the planning it takes to tell a story seriously with comics. Best suited to short stories or episodes that are 10 pages or less. Please also note that pages done in black and white would be difficult to then color later, as I will create those pages without the intention to color, and will thus use techniques unique to strict black and white rendering.

REMEMBER===========

IF YOU WANT SOMETHING THAT ISN'T HERE, DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK ME!
I mean, the worst thing I can do is say no, right? I also wanted to make sure that I only listed prices on things that I had examples of here on dA, so that everyone has an even understanding of what they will receive for what they are buying.

ALL PRICES ARE NEGOTIABLE

ALSO: BACKGROUNDS WILL BE DISCUSSED ON A PER-CASE BASIS. Sometimes they are included, other times expensive, and sometimes they are unnecessary. We'll talk.

Soooooo.... on to -

PAYMENT OPTIONS=========== - Your choice among three
OPTION 1: Check or Cashier's Check (Money Order)
For those of you living in the United States and who are comfortable doing such things, a personal check, cashier's check or money order. I'll get started on your commission as soon as the check clears, which with my lovely bank should be within the day I receive it. Make sure to pick your most trusted carrier Pidgey for this mission!

OPTION 2: PayPal
For those of you competent (and old) enough to have a PayPal account, we may have many a merry time exchanging currency over these very here interwebs. This option is the fastest way to get me to work on something, because I'll have the money - immediately! Also a good option for international buyers - I'll take the fees associated with currency conversion. Although, I haven't really used my PayPal account to do anything yet, so I may need some coaching if you choose this option :p

OPTION 3: deviantART Subscriptions
Just as fast as PayPal, but even more anonymous! Plus, I'll round deviantART's price bracket up, so a 3-month subscription is worth $10 in my commissions catalogue, and a year's subscription is worth $32 in my commissions catalogue. I don't know how far in advance deviantART will allow me to be subscribed, so there might be a limited number of people who can choose this option.


SO, HOW THIS WILL ALL WORK OUT===========
If you are genuinely interested in employing my talents, the process should follow this general order:
1. YOU WILL NOTE ME SO THAT I KNOW YOU EXIST. IF YOU LEAVE A COMMENT SOMEWHERE INQUIRING ABOUT COMMISSIONS, I WILL REPLY ASKING YOU TO NOTE ME.

2. WE WILL CONTINUE NOTING EACH OTHER UNTILL METHODS OF PAYMENT, CHARACTERS INCLUDED, STYLE AND BACKGROUND SPECIFICS ARE AGREED UPON.

3. I WILL DRAW A PRELIMINARY SKETCH AND NOTE THE POTENTIAL CLIENT WITH IT.

4. ONCE I HAVE SKETCHED SOMETHING THAT YOU LIKE, YOU WILL SEND PAYMENT.

5. ONCE I HAVE RECEIVED YOUR PAYMENT, I WILL FINISH YOUR COMMISSION.

6. ONCE I HAVE FINISHED YOUR COMMISSION, I WILL E-MAIL YOU A HIGH RESOLUTION COPY. IF YOU HAVE ORDERED SOMETHING MADE OF REAL-WORLD MATERIALS, I WILL SEND IT TO YOU VIA SNAIL MAIL.

7. IF IT IS FAN ART, I WILL POST IT RIGHT HERE ON DA. IF IT CONTAINS ORIGINAL CHARACTERS, I WILL POST IT ON DA ONLY IF I HAVE PERMISSION FROM EACH CHARACTER'S CREATOR(S).



===========

If you have any other questions, I will be most delighted to answer them.

I look forward to doing business together!

Stories

















I'm 13 years old, and I wished
That my dad would come home from
The army, because he'd been having
Problems with his heart and right
Leg It was 2:53 p .m.. When I made
My wish. At 3: 07 PM . (14 minutes
Later), the doorbell rang, and
There my Dad was, luggage and all!!





I'm Katie and I'm 20 and I've been
Having trouble in my job and on the
Verge of quitting. I made a simple
Wish that my boss would get a new
Job. That was at 1:35 and at 2:55
There was an announcement that he
Was promoted and was leaving for
Another city. Believe me...this
Really works!!!









My name is Ann and I am 45 years
Of age. I had always been single
And had been hoping to get into a
Nice, loving relationship for many
Years. While kind of daydreaming(and right after receiving this email)
I wished that a quality person would
Finally come into my life. That was at
9:10 AM on a Tuesday. At 9:55 AM
A FedEx delivery man came into my
Office.He was cute, polite and
Could not stop smiling at me. He
Started coming back almost everyday(even without packages) and asked me
Out a week later . We married 6
Months later and now have been
Happily married for 2 years.

What a great email it was!!

















Just scroll down to the end, but
While you do, think of a wish.
Make your wish when you have completed
Scrolling. Whatever age you are, is the
Number of minutes it will take for your
Wish to come true. Ex.you are 25 years
Old, it will take 25 minutes for your wish
To come true).
















However, if you don't send this to
People in 5 minutes, you will have bad
Luck for years!!

Go for it!!!
!









SCROLL DOWN!!!!
