Title: Commissions
Post by: zhicago on July 8, 2011 12:31 PM
Things are getting reeeeaaaalllll tight (like, I had to ask for money to get me out of the hole in my bank account kind of tight), and I know TBA is good people, so...

I'm wondering if anyone would like to help me out with a commission (or two? or more?  ) I'M ON MY KNEES HERE, PEOPLE.

I've never offered commissions before but I'm excited to try. I'm probably best at the human form over anything else; it's pretty much all I tend to draw, but I can try other things as well. If I'm positive I can't do it, I'll be sure to let you know.

As I have lots of love for TBA I'll keep em cheap.

$10 b/w sketch
$20 color
$40 color with background

(i would suggest going with color as that is what I feel is my strong point. I very rarely even include lines in my work, so you'll get a nice painted feel on any colored work, unless you request otherwise.)

I would definitely help if it was August, but no money until then.  

I really like your Sashura pic, btw.

yeah i did it last night! im on an art frenzy this week (I got two things done. Usually it's once a month at MOST!)

I'd love to do Penny. I'll even throw in a simple background to match the one of Piper for like, 5 bucks more (instead of the full background price up there).

Actually, I'll let that deal run for everyone. If you are getting a full color ($20), I'll do a simple background for 5 bucks more so you don't have a white backdrop.

Hey all, I've been in and out of the doctors this week, sorry I haven't been too active here. Sick as a dog and supposed to be in bed as much as I can manage it.

Paypal is zhi.the.bee@ gmail.com , but no rush or anything. Just trying to get back to health. Almost done with tmk's.
