Commissions, Suggestions and Requests

Lately I haven’t been able to do any requests! Unfortunately I don’t see that changing very soon. If you reeaaly want me to draw something for you, ask for a commission and the drawing will be one of my top priorities.

I’ve also been thinking that I’ll have to set up a poll somewhere. There are a lot of cool games and people that I want to draw, but picking who to draw next can leave me stumped for a while! Please feel free to suggest things for me to draw. For now the best ways to tell me will be to either leave them in the comments here on the blog or tweet them at me.

 

This is how I personally define the difference between a suggestion, a request and a commission:

  • Suggestion – You are a fan of something and would like to see me draw that thing.
  • Request – You want me to draw something for yourself personally. This could be a drawing of yourself, your persona, Minecraft character, an original character you came up with yourself… But either you do not want to (or can not) pay.
  • Commission – You would like me to draw something for yourself personally or professionally and want to pay.

 

So suggestions are in, requests are out (for now) and commissions are available. I’ll put up all the details of commissions soon. If you have any questions at all, leave a comment! :D

 

Being sick and busy

I haven’t disappeared! I’ve just been sick and busy. xD

I think I’ve had two separate colds, one right after the other. Unfortunately this has happened right at the end of a Study Period where I had a major assignment due, and also during the due date for the Minecraft t-shirt competition that I wanted to enter.

While managing to complete both the assignment and two t-shirt designs, unfortunately the designs didn’t even make it through to the public voting rounds. Boo! I recorded drawing them though, so I can make a couple videos out of the experience at least. Yay! I’ll post up the drawings soon. If people like them enough maybe I can figure out a way to have them printed anyway for fun, if I’m allowed to.

While doing all of this and trying not to be sick I ended up neglecting the internets a bit. Sorry internets! I’ll be back to posting art and videos and all that good stuff now. Hopefully at a slightly better pace, but I’m not going to jinx myself. *touches wood*

Two things have led me to really want to start designing shirts. Drawing the Minecraft shirts for this competition, and also being asked by KPopp (an awesome YouTuber) to let her print my drawing of her on some shirts. I’m definitely going to work on some designs and put them up on a store. I don’t think I’ll print them myself or anything like that, at least not yet. I’ll just go to one of those stores like spreadshirt or zazzle first to see how people react to my stuff.

If any of you know anything about printing shops akin to spreadshirt or zazzle that let you have your own store and such, let me know. :) I still need to do a bit of research on all that. Maybe I’ll write another post with more information about it all.

Anyway, here’s hoping you’re not as sick as I am. I think it’s summer on the other side of the world right now isn’t it? If you’re in summer right now, here’s hoping you’re not boiling too bad. :P
