Thanks, thats reassuring to hear, that there are people who like my work enough to be willing to pay me for comissions ^^

I will probably open up a patreon account in the near future, but first i will do a quick survey for my followers to see if they agree with my proposed prices and search ideas and sugestions of what they'd like available as options, ect.

Without going into too much detail i will have my prices based around 1 seconds worth of animation (each extra second of animation will have a 50% discount of the first), with the cheapest price being one character with lineart, no color, no background and no shading. After that people can pay extra for color, shading, backgrounds and extra characters (extra characters will cost extra but will not cost as much as the first). Since I have never done comissions before and since i want people with realatively low income to be able to pay for comissions i will likely put a relatively low base price for 1 second, even if more experienced artists might call it a steal considering 1 second of animation can be up to 24 (and later possibly 30 if i decide to offer higher fps as an option) picture frames. But as someone who has been near broke for years, i just wanna give people the option to see some of their imagination come to life for an inexpensive sum that wont cripple their economic situation

But enough of me rambling, thanks for liking the animation! ^^

I keep laughing at the part where you said "without going into too much detail" xD hey I completely understand wanting to make it affordable, I mean arent we all starving (emphasis on the starving) artists? I think you got a great plan going there but at the same time don't sell yourself short, based on your talent and the amount of work that goes into it it can quickly turn disastrous, as someone who is studying business, the demand (and don't say there won't be because I believe there will be) can become great at affordable prices but you look like you know what you're doing and that you've considered it, like extra charges per seconds, colors and extra characters.

Can ya believe I wrote that half asleep? I will revise in the morning for horrible errors xD I'm glad to giva ya some good vibes.

Could've been worse, i could've talked about the prices for each induvidual option and used, *gasp* math!

oh for animating i'm just using adobe flash proffessional, for my other art i use adobe illustrator for lineart and adobe photoshop for colors, though i've also recently started to try out using mediabang paint (which is free), tho while the later has some interesting features it doesnt have as many options as the former.

Ah okay, I was looking for something better and simply getting others opinions , I got an outdated anime art program and paint so not so good haha. Keep up the work and keep me posted, because I'll be first in line

I suppose its easier to build large things that have more room for complicated machinery as opposed to something smaller like the limb enhancers. I firmly beleive that there should be an episode with peridot doing something like this because i think we need an episode that touches on her attachment to the enhancers (the stilts steven gave her clearly shows she's not past being without them just yet)

If we don't, they really dropped the ball on that one.

I feel like there needs to be an episode that brings it up at some point, would be great for peridots character development, and for building relations with the other crystal gems, especially amethyst who was teh one to throw away the enhancers.

And thanks, glad you liked it, it was a nice distraction and good practice as i intend to do more of these animations in the future ^^

To be honest, I have sort of this "headcanon/hope/idea" that, once Lapis also joined the team (because, let's be honest, where else would Lapis go at this point?), Steven decides that both, Peridot and Lapis need rooms of their own, like the other Crystal Gems. There's an underwater cave by the beach where the temple is, so they could put Lapis room in there, since that'd really be a place where she'd be truly in her element and private. Meanwhile, Steven would probably build Peridot a shack by the beach, which she'd then proceed to expand underground and make a fully-fledged underground laboratory out of that can be accessed through the deceptively small shack. Peridot would probably also know how to alter the gem technology at the doors to the Crystal Gem's rooms enough to add gateways to her and Lapis' rooms to it. 

Anyway, the point is, Peridot would spend her days down in her "basement" lab, tinkering around with stuff she found all over Beach City (maybe at one occasion even "accidentally" robbing a hardware store, because she doesn't know what money is. Greg would totally have to pay the bail to get her back out of jail.), trying to make new weapons for the Crystal Gems to combat Homeworld more effectively. Maybe Amethyst would keep sneaking into her lab like she does with Pearl's room, and keep messing up Peridot's tests and experiments, kind of becoming the DeeDee to Peridot's Dexter. I can see Peridot chasing Amethyst all over Steven's house to get back some devices Amethyst stole from her lab to add them to her Garbage pile... And maybe one episode about one of Peridot's machines going berzerk and escaping onto the beach, and Steven and Connie need to fuse into Stevonnie to stop it, because Peridot programmed the thing specifically attack Gems, and Stevonnie is mostly organic...

Those are all just some ideas I had. I love coming up with this stuff and your animation just reminded me of it. Hah Hah...

Evidently she is not doing as great as that robot tho, given the amount of smoke coming from her enhancer XD

She still needs time to get adjusted to Earth technology. Who knows? If she can get the right materials together she could build a power suit like Tony Stark.

Thanks, and so do !

I think an episode focusing on how attached Peridot was to her limb enhancers and how she doesnt really need them to define her for who she is, would be a great episode. It would give even more insight to peridots character, rpovide her with character development, and also build on teh relations between her and the other crystal gems, particulary Amethyst, who was the one who threw the enhancers in the sea to begin with. In my mind the episode would largely follow steven watching and talking to peridot as she desperately tries to work out the kinks of her bodged together limb enhancers (built from leftover parts after the drill project), while the other gems look on from a distance, getting an idea of just how much their newest member and friend felt about her enhancers, with amethyst possibly, being straightforward and rash as she is and not thinking ahead properly, trying to joke about why peridot would even want such things (she did call it "gross" when peridot was pooffed after all), but then realising that its not a laughing matter for peridot, and so about midway through the episode amethyst leaves (maybe togetehr with steven for a short little adventure under the sea, we know stevens bubble shield works there after all) and by the end of the episode she comes back with the enhancers for peridot, apologizing for throwing them away. Perhaps peridot, seeing the nice geasture try to say that she really appreciates it but that she didnt have to, her new enhancers are better anyway (with her new enhancers showing clear signs of bugs and problems that need fixin), with her new enhancers showing they are not complete (for comedic effect), she agrees to try on the old enhancers, getting a moment to use them, before water damage finaly makes them non functional. Perhaps steven then helps her reflect on just how much she accomplished without them, hinting at the robot, the drill and the new enhancers, before peridot accepts that having longer limbs does not define her, but holding on to the enhacners anyway, for reshearch, and spare parts, they could be usefull damnit!

At least thats what i'd love to see from an episode XD
