Commissions? Anyone?

Journal Entry: Fri Jul 4, 2008, 8:08 PM
  • Mood: Triumph
  • Watching: Ghostrider
Alright guys, it's come to the point where I need to replenish my diminishing monetary resources. I only have -just- enough to get me through two more months paying for my phone bill, and then I'm broke. I've got my other account, but that money's strictly for moving with. And I'm not sure it'll be enough to get me and Bel(l)a and Riva across the country.

So here's the deal. I can sketch, I can ink, I can paint. I can even mat and frame. Question is, how much are you willing to pay for said services?

Sketches: Will probably cost about $5-$10 if people don't mind just getting the digital scan. Probably around $15 if they want the real!media copy. 'Cause I hate giving up the real thing. x.x;;

Ink: Um. Again, if it's just the scan, likely $10-$15. I've got a couple of inking styles, too. There's the clean style that I use for things like this, or this (I love working in that style X3), and there's the sketchy style, for which I have no good example scanned at the moment. ^.^; Will have in a sec. <3

Paint/Illustrations: Er. Not a clue. >.>.. What do you think? There's no way I'm doing a full painting/illustration for less than $15 though. *blink* Hopefully I can get more than $20. Anyone think $30 is too much to ask for a painting about 8.5" x 11" in size? Obviously simple/no backgrounds will be less expensive than fully rendered/detailed backgrounds, too. Here are some examples, if you haven't already taken a peek at my Flickr gallery. I'll do the paintings, or the black and white illustrations, or the light-on-dark illustrations.

Mat/Frame: It usually costs somewhere around $100 to mat and frame a picture at a store, even if you already have the frame. I'm willing to do the same job (and pretty darn well, if I do say so myself), for a fraction of that. If you send me the picture and ask it be matted and framed, I can probably do it for around $20-$30, plus the cost of the frame you want (or the cost of wood + labor if you want a custom frame). You can even specify colors and style stuff just like a normal framing place, too. I've only got two examples right now, but I'm working on a few more to show soon, with various 'effects' and whatnot. ^.^;

Wow, did you actually read through all that? *impressed*

Well now. What to do? Should I post a poll asking for a price range? I think I'll x-post this to a couple other places, too, while I'm at it.

What do you think about all this?

Just a little fun: :) (Smile)
Un-Nursery Rhymes:

JACK AND JILL
Went up the hill
To have a little fun.
Stupid Jill
Forgot the pill
And now they have a son.

MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB
Her father shot it dead
Now it goes to school with her
Between two hunks of bread.

LITTLE MISS Muffet sat on a tuffet,
Her clothes all tattered and torn.
It had not been the spider
that crept up beside her
But Little Boy Blue and his horn.

SIMPLE SIMON met a Pieman
Going to the fair
Said Simple Simon to the Pieman
"What have you got there?"
Said the Pieman unto Simon
"Pies, you dumbass!"

HUMPTY DUMPTY
sat on a wall
humpty dumpty had a great fall
all the kings horses and all the kings men
had scrambled eggs for breakfast again.

HEY DIDDLE, DIDDLE,
the cat did a piddle,
all over the bedside clock,
The little dog laughed to see such fun
then died of electric shock.

GEORGIE PORGY Pudding and Pie
Kissed the girls and made them cry.
When the boys came out to play
He kissed them too 'cause he was gay.

THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL,
who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead...
And when she was good,
she was very very good,

But when she was bad
she got a fur coat, jewels, a
waterfront condo and a sports car.

Have you ever had a dream, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?

What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire deviant life, that there's something wrong with the story. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.

You take the blue pill, the story ends. Your browser closes and you believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland. And, I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

I offer only the truth, nothing more.

Take: The Red Pill
Take: The Blue Pill

Fella Point Right spyed, nobody has ever done this before.
Ninja Point Right I know. That's why it's going to work.

Do not try and bend the spoon ...
