Hey guys! (Got a question for you!)
3 min read
I'm consistently on top of my dA messages! WOOOO. That means if you send me a note, comment, valentine, confession of your unending adoration, play a cruel joke on me, etc - I'll see it and be able to respond appropriately. It only took me five years, but we can't all be perfect message center gurus now can we!
I've made a couple of decisions about how my life is gonna go. Most importantly, have become resolute in the notion "I have no idea what I'm doing" but I'm generally ambling in the direction of freelance illustration. Which makes every platform I can get a hold of (dA, carbonmade, facebook, tumblr) pretty valuable! So here we are.
Another thing I am more aggressively ambling towards is conventions! Twice now my sis and I have done Artist's Alley at Animazement in Raleigh, NC, and it was a ton of fun. So much, my mom actually mentioned the desire to quit her 9-to-5 in order to be able to travel cross-country with us and do more conventions! I think that would be pretty fantastic, but I have to admit I'm out of the loop in terms of what conventions are big deals and which aren't worth the drive. So here's my question for you: What's your favorite convention? Anime or otherwise. I'm interested in comic conventions, and fantasy/sci fi ones too, but I'm a little nervous about jumping headlong into one of those when I've never visited one before.
Also, any merchandise ideas? Shows I should be making fan art of? Trending animes I should be aware of?
I'm looking for conventions within a couple states of me (I live in Raleigh, NC) to start showing. I still want to know about conventions farther away, but I probably won't be able to attend until this whole convention business starts getting lucrative enough to support travel costs.
Oh, another thing: I recently started helping out with 1-hr-contest as a mod! I adore the idea, it's a ton of fun. :'D There's a brand new contest starting today, head on over and check it out if you can!

Commission Details (Closed)
16 min read
(This is just where you can find all the detailed info for my commissions - they are not reopening. Just figured I should take advantage of thumbnails while I could!)
Things I will draw:
People
Animals
Any combination or alteration of the above (anthro, humanoid, etc)
Landscapes
Original Characters
Anime/Game/Book/TV/etc characters
Things I will not draw:
Porn/fetish art
Things my art may be used for upon purchase:
Tags/avatars
Graphics
Character References
Personal non-profit...anything
Things my art may not be used for:
Resale or commercial use of any kind
If you are interested in commissioning me with intent to resale or use commercially, say so and we can discuss contract terms.
Things to keep in mind:
- If you're not familiar with my work, it would be beneficial to look through my gallery and get a feel for the kind of art I produce before deciding to commission me. That's the same kind of stuff you should expect!
- A reference is only required for the things you want me to draw right. If you give me a half-body reference and ask for a full body image, I'll fill in the blanks myself - just make sure you really REALLY don't mind me getting things wrong.
- I don't work well on written descriptions, you have now been warned. I am willing to give it a shot if the description is detailed.
- Having mentioned those points, the best thing you can do for me is provide a ton of information in the form of visual references, context for the character, personality information, etc. The more I know about your character, the easier it is to depict them.
- Additional characters (or extensive props/something that could count as another subject) cost a little less than double what a one-subject commission would cost.
- I will likely post your commission here on deviantart, and may possibly include it in any personal portfolio collections/websites in the future. Please specify if you would not like me to use the work for my personal purposes.
- All my work is done in Photoshop CS4 with an Intuos4 tablet if digital, or pencil/micron lining pens/colored pencils if traditional. If for some weird reason you want me to work with something different, just mention it and I'll be happy to oblige.
- I reserve the right to turn down your commission if I feel I cannot complete it to your (or my) satisfaction.
Regarding Payment:
- Payment is expected before work on the commission can begin. Payment in full is required for commissions under $25, exceeding that, half of your payment is due upon agreeing to a timeline, and the other half upon completion of the commission. If for any reason I am unable to begin work on your commission and cannot complete it, you will receive a full refund.
- I accept payments through Paypal.
Prices
The prices listed here are applicable in *most* cases - I reserve the right to charge more for your ridiculously-detailed character.
"Half body" can be anywhere from the waist to halfway down the thigh. Usually at least down to the hips.
Sketches - $7 Half body, $10 Full body
traditional -
digital -
toned -
(Additional characters/subjects add $5 to total per character)
Inks - $15 Half body, $20 Full body
I can do linework for different purposes. If you intend on coloring it later, then I'll give you a version without any crosshatching put in. Otherwise I tend to have fun with crosshatching)
traditional -
digital -
(Additional subjects add $13 to total)
Add base color to your lines for $6.
Stickers
By these "stickers" I mean the stylized images intended for printing. The prices here mean the price for the actual image, not including the price to print and ship them. The additional cost depends on how many of the sticker you want printed, and how much postage will be to mail it to you.

*Depending on complexity, backgrounds add $15 to $30 to the total.
Prints and Physical Copies
Prints of digital commissions:
Please state beforehand if you'd like to be able to get a print of your digital commission. I don't work at printing-size unless necessary, so it's something I like knowing from the beginning.
There are a few different physical forms your commission can take. All of these vary in shipping/production costs (especially the prints,) but expect something within these ranges to be tacked onto your cost in addition to the cost of the drawing itself:
Prints - $8 to $20
Stickers - $3 to $8
Bookmarks - $6 to $10
Physical copies of traditional commissions:
If you commission a traditional sketch or ink, or if you request that process work for your digital commission be done traditionally, I can mail it to you with a $5 shipping fee.
Deals & Free Stuff
The boring, un-fun stuff that nobody likes to read (but is still important!)
- I've had a few people change their mind at the end of a commission deal and ask for refunds. So just to be clear: You are not paying for an image, you are paying for my time and (*snerk*) expertise. Time is something I can't give you a refund for, even if you don't like the finished product. In general, I'm more than fine with making edits to your commission, and I like when clients nitpick and critique their images. I want to collaborate with you to create something that you, as the client, are ultimately happy with. However, if the edits you want are severe enough to constitute adding a significant amount of extra time (and thusly, cost) onto the project total, adjusting the price will probably be in order.
If you want to commission me:
Please note me with the following information:
- Type of your commission (two-character half body digital speedpaint, single character full body traditional ink, etc)
- As many references as you deem necessary (Full body/detailed visual reference, as well as a bit of background (for context) and personality is ideal, but not required)
- Printing preference (Yes/No, if yes, please designate what type of printed product you would like)
- Any additional information you deem necessary (any ideas you may have as to context and/or composition of your commission)
If I accept, I'll get back to you within a few days with a price and timeline. Things like sketches or inks only take a few days to process/complete, whereas things like paintings and multi-character or background pieces are a much more involved process that I like to collaborate on.
All that said, I'm generally a friendly person, and very willing to work with you on getting your commission right. Client satisfaction is very important to me. I don't want you to feel ripped off or unhappy with your commission experience.
Hopefully I covered just about everything here. If not, please note or comment with any questions!

Alex and John's Scientific Adventures
1 min read
Hi guys!
I'm not dead, I've just been working feverishly on the illustration project, Alex & John's Scientific Adventures: The Big Explosion!
It's an early chapter book for kids just growing out of picture books. I did all the interior illustrations as well as the cover art. The book was officially released on Saturday, and is now on sale over at the AJSA website. I even get special commission if you mention I sent you over there. Go check it out :'D

Thanks so much to everyone who could help me out, by commissioning or showing interest!! ♥
