Description EDIT

I forgot one little detail: His front bangs.
UNACCEPTABLE! I should NOT have to screw up on something so simple! D:<

$10 Full Body Commission for who requested a drawing of Stelly.

I noticed that I get carried away with colored sketches but I did promise a commission posting on Thursday. However I had to help my mom with an errand which was a pain in the ass to do and it set a delay on my commission and school projects so I was a day late on this one. It's only fair to try to make the artwork look decent. Maybe it's because I hate to rush on the stuff I sell and I don't want to sell crappy excuses for artwork that people payed their hard earned money for but I don't want to make my commissions look messy. Even if they are sketches. XD

Also, I have one more week of class and it's time for break. WHOOOO!

Thank you once again for commissioning me, Splatologist ! Let me know if you want me to send you a bigger version of this artwork.

If you like what you see I am open to these types of small drawings as $5-$10 commissions for anyone interested. Check out my journal if you would like one.

I usually make more complex stuff both for online and offline purposes so I don't have time to make big commissions. (Not to mention the minimum is around $50...)  However, I can DEFINITELY make quick drawings, both black/white and colored for a much cheaper price. :3

Ahh, I worry that people won't feel they got their money's worth from my commissions, my art is pretty much a big scribble, I find the most enjoyment in scribbly lines for my own work, although so many people have told me it's lazy ^_^;  I work on so many things for practice, maybe about ten percent or less of my work is ever shown to anyone.. I focus my energy there and put my work down quickly with scribble drawing that I hope emphasizes what I mean, with the foundation of endless hours of study for structure, so my work is probably better suited to "concept" rather than "render."

I want to sometimes work on detail but even my detail is so scribble, I don't know haha.

Your work is great and I hope that you can know it! I think it is so important artists focus on what they like to draw, what they feel to put into their work. I want to see of art, what the artists enjoy most to make ^_^

Thanks. ^^ In fairness I think I overdo it with commissions. My friends and relatives looked at this drawing and I kept being told that it looks more like a painting. XD

I like to impress a little too much because I am desperate for money and not that many people commissioned me before so I want to give them a reason to come back (it's as if I am on my knees, actually!) But this can cause problems when selling digital paintings. Why buy a painting when someone can buy a colored sketch, which looks the same?

I think I can get around this, though...If my digital paintings look much, much, cleaner, can have multiple characters included, allow backgrounds, and I make the artwork more like an illustration with the characters doing stuff rather than a single pose with a white background...
You know, something similar to what AquaSixio, Zeronis, Coferosa, Wen-JR, E09ETM, loish, and another number of artists on deviantArt that would make this list too long would do. You can tell that they have both clean paintings and sketchy looking paintings.

There are also people who are not a fan of digital paintings, thus, would prefer something more stylized in the coloring. Like a comic book or anime coloring style. Or a style based on Sonic or Kirby or Pokemon.

I would like to sell animations but I don't feel I have improved enough to sell them. The same goes for 3D modeling, and I haven't even gotten the chance to practice 2D sprite art and animating them. I would love to get good at a bunch of stuff and offer commissions on that because it's also good advertising. I would like to work in games someday and if I show that I can do a bunch of stuff it will be helpful.

Unfortunately there is also the jack-of-all-trades trap where one would know how to do a bunch of things but not practice a specialty enough.

Ahhh there are so many things to worry eeeek.
I worry sometimes that I spend too much time only doing what I want to do with my work and worry that I am not paying attention enough to what people actually want, as opposed to what I have fun with most.. But then I think, "but if I buy a commission, I want most that the artist had fun, that they were able to put what they want and find important for their own work!"

I think that is often where styles evolve from, and I find it sooo important that the artist expresses themselves, their heart into their work. Haha I don't know if many other people feel the same! But it is how I feel the most about art ^_^ It would be why I commission art instead of just drawing something on my own, I want to see.. The artist, in their work! The artist's personal perspective.. reflect into the art, to add something extra to my world, something I cherish so much ^_^
