Commissions Journal

Good day to all of you. I am officially starting commissions today. :) Though I'm still not confident in my skills, I'll do this anyway. :lol: I changed the prices completely because I realized they were unfair for people who only want one character to be drawn. >________> But anyway...AJA!!! :D :D


PRICES (subject to change)
These are for ONE CHARACTER only, done on 8.5x11in. paper.

+ Mini Chibi (basic standing pose, no background) - $3 (+US$2 additional character)
+Situational Chibi Drawing (4.25x5.5 in., chibi in motion like running across a field or having dinner, simple background) - US$5 (+US$3 additional character)

+ Lineart - US$3
+ Black & White - US$5
+ Detailed/Specified Background (lineart and b&w) - +US$2
+ Additional Character (lineart and b&w) - +US$3

+ Full Color (using colored pencils) - US$10
+ Detailed/Specified Background - +US$4
+ Additional Character - +US$8

+ Full color (using watercolor) - US$20
+ Detailed/Specified Background - US$8
+ Additional Character - +US$16
+ Separate Lineart - US$3

+ Fictional Scene Manga Conversion - US$20
- I will explain this further. If you have a favorite scene in a fanfiction or your original fiction, I can turn words into drawings. :) Not just an illustration but an entire manga page. It will not be toned but colored instead. I suggest that you choose a short scene, because I will fit everything in one page only. You will have to make me read the scene first so I can approve it. Oh, and I don't do scenes with action. :P


RESTRICTIONS
I can/will draw the following:
= shounen-ai/yaoi wiith no exposed private parts (includes shota)
= shoujo-ai (which will not be posted in Y! of course haha)
= mild heterosexual (will not be posted)
= part anthro (non-human parts like wings, cat ears, etc., but NO FUR OR TENTACLES though)
= gaia avatars (ohoho I'm a member :D)
= original characters
=fanart

I cannot/will not draw the following:
= hardcore yaoi (if I could I would, but right now I don't know how >_________>)
= hardcore yuri (I'll never do this even if I could >_________>)
= hardcore hentai (noooooo~)
= mecha
= realistic animals (I can only make cute anime versions)
=full anthro
= gore
= BDSM
= muscular people >__________>
= weird fetishes (I'll tell you if I consider it weird)

Types of character shots available:
= head (down to neck or shoulders)
= bust (down to bottom of breasts for girls)
= half (down to hips)
= half of legs (can be any area before the knee or down the knee itself)
= full
= combination of any (for two or more characters, e.g. for one character it's bust and the other is full)


PROCESS
1) Send me a PM in Y! Gallery or send me an email (gay_lesbian999@yahoo.com) containing the following:
>> TYPE OF COMMISSION
>> FANART - names of characters and series / ORIGINAL CHARACTER/S - full description
>> REFERENCES (fanart or OCs and should support your description)
>> CHARACTER SHOT PREFERENCE
>> HOW YOU'D LIKE TO SEE THEM (please make this as detailed as possible but I don't need a novel, and spelling/grammar is not important at all)
>> REAL NAME (for payment verification), YOUR EMAIL
>> MODE OF PAYMENT
>> SAMPLE PM/EMAIL:
- full color
- fanart, Sasuke and Naruto from "Naruto"
- (insert references of Sasuke and Naruto in Shippuuden)
- both half of legs (part just before the knees)
- I want Sasuke and Naruto as they are in Shippuuden. Sasuke is leaning in to Naruto, about to steal a kiss. Naruto is blushing slightly and is frowning, as though he is debating with himself whether or not to give in. By the way this is a side view pic, Sasuke at the left and Naruto at the right. Moving on, Naruto is holding a kunai in his left hand. His arm is lifted a bit; show that he is almost letting go of the weapon. Sasuke's right hand is holding his sword at the back--he plans to swing it at poor Naruto while he is distracted. >_> But at the moment Sasuke is concentrating on seducing his best friend. Sasuke's other hand is holding Naruto's chin lovingly. I want Sasuke's eyes to be as lustful as possible while Naruto's are a bit pained. DX I don't care about the background but I'd love for you to give the pic a romantic aura. :) :)
- Banana R. Coconut, **********_*****_******_********@*********.com
- Paypal
2) Once I receive the PM/email, I will approve and make the sketch (which will be so dirty mind you hahaha). I will then show you a small copy of it and have you approve it. You can ask me to change the sketch TWICE ONLY.
3) After you approve the sketch, that's when you send the money. I won't send anything until I receive the payment.
4) I will finish the commission and send it as JPEG, full size in your email. No separation of background and characters for commissions with bg.
5) Hopefully we will both be happy. :D :D :D


INFO (important, please read carefully)
1. Every commission will have either no background or a simple one that I will think of (choose which one you like). But of course, you have the option of specifying the bg, but that will add to the payment.
2. I won't do pencil sketches coz I find those unsatisfying. :P
3. I accept PAYPAL (I made an account for my mom coz she's the one with the card hehehe), WESTERN UNION, and XOOM.
For Paypal users, my email there is different so wait for me to tell you what it is. And, please use the Paypal fees calculator http://ppcalc.com to know how much you should really send.
If you know of any other ways to send money, please do tell me and we'll discuss it.
4. I have no idea how to ship stuff to other countries. Until I learn how, commissions will be given through email only.
5. Copyright of original characters can be added on the drawing itself--just tell me if you want it that way. I will still have copyright on the commission so I will post it if I want to. You can do the same but please give credit to me as well, even just my name. ;_; I will give credits to you always, of course. :) :)
Fanart will have copyright to creators and will be placed on commissions no matter what.
6. Depending on my schedule and your turn, waiting time can last from 3 days to 3 months (or even longer if time is really not at hand >_______>). However, be assured that once I place you in a slot, I will definitely work on your commission.

And sorry about the long ranting. I'm so nervous about this. >______<
