Anime Weekend Atlanta IS THIS WEEKEND




See you there!!!!


FAQ Time
Some common questions and situations that arise on occassion.

What program do you use?
I mostly work with Painter 7.

Sweet, so what brush??
I have a custom set of variations of smeary oil brushes I've made over the years. But i also use the Round Camelhair once in awhile.

Can you help me with Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, Painter 9, etc
I can recite you Painter 7 like the back of me hand. Anything else, you're barking up the wrong tree.

PLEASE!!! MAKE A TUTORIAL!!!
Look, I'm not good with words. I can't describe what it is I do every painting. This method changes every time I paint...seriously. This always has been and always will be a learning process for me. I show the occassional work in progress shot of an up and coming painting. If there's any question you have, feel free to ask and I'll give it my best to answer.

How big are you working?

I work no smaller than 5000pixels and no larger than 8000pixels, but that number is growing. All pics are done at 300dpi.

How much are your commissions?

see below.

Do you take Paypal?

Damn right I do!! However I may ask for a couple of extra bucks to cover the Paypal fees. I also accept Money Orders. Cheques/Checks are at your own risk, and I will wait up to 2 weeks for them to clear before I even start work. I ask for at least a 50% deposit before I begin sketching.

I'm broke, but do you take requests?

I don't mean to be rude, but, between jobs, I barely have time to do work for myself, so it's pretty presumptuous to think I'd spend that time doing free art for someone I barely know , if at all. THis is how I pay my bills.

OK, but I see you're on Gaia, so how about I pay you a ton of gold???

See above...pixels aren't real money and never will be. If I'm holding an auction by myself or with a friend, then that's your opportunity. Otherwise, don't even ask.

Auctions on Gaia??? SWEET!! LET"S COLLAB!!!!

Thanks, but if I don't know you, sorry.


WAIT ONE SECOND!!! ARE YOU A GUY OR A GIRL???

This answer is right in front of you, but if you make assumptions, why should I stop you? xD









Commissions are still open!!!

full body, little to no background: 100 per figure

3/4 body, little to no background : 75 per figure

head/bust shot: 35 per figure

extras such as anthro art,wings, armour, etc will run a little bit extra depending on the amount of detail/work required

But I'm freaking poor! I'd be lucky if I have $200 in my bank account at this moment (at least payday is this Friday--being paid every two weeks sucks). DX Maybe I could visit sometime this Christmas, before I start college again in Tampa...Of course, that's provided you're still in Atlanta. I don't think I could spare a few hundred bucks for plane tickets if you moved up north like I vaguely remember you talking about.

OMG! I'm going to be there cosplayed as Itachi. Just tell me what section of the artist alley you'll be in and I'll be there to buy something=D. I think I already have one of your cards in my artist card collection. It's a girl with a tank top with her arms out or something. I have so many cards. :dizzy:
