And I'm Back! Comics, Commish, and Celf-Promotion!

Wed Jul 8, 2009, 10:37 PM
  • Mood: Optimism
  • Listening to: Ghost Nappa!
  • Reading: Las Lindas

  • Playing: Rune Factory Frontier
My computer came back from the shop a couple of days ago. I've been busying myself getting all my stuff up and running after the system restore euthanized my system.

As far as art goes, I finally, FINALLY, finished writing and drawing the new Ideo page. There were a lot of delays due to diffculties in planning, but I'm already partway through the colouring, so it should be up fairly soon. :]

On that note, I think I'm going to officially drop my two-week schedule. Free time is sporadic lately, and I'm still having trouble with scripting since I'm planning for a few future developments. Sometimes the comics will be early and sometimes they'll be late, so until I can start working on them as steadily as I used to, they'll just go up as they're completed. In the meantime, since I got my computer back, there are a few new sketchy things in my scraps.

As for the animations, they're coming along fairly, ehhh... Well, let's face it, they're not coming along. I can't come up with any solid ideas so I haven't been able to get started, and I don't have much time for it to begin with. :/ So that'll have to wait. Still, I've got some good plans for the comic, so there's plenty of good stuff to come. 8D

Now for a little serious business, I'd like to oh-so-subtley bring up that I'm still open for commissions if anyone is interested, and this time I'm actually setting prices down, so here we go:

- For drawings, I do grey or colour sketches for $5 CAD, ink and finished outline drawings for $7, flat/gradient colours for $10, and fully shaded and highlighted colours for $15. Special effects and text are done according to the type of commission and client's request, at no cost. Additional characters are half normal price, rounded down. Scenic backgrounds are $3, but simple BGs like gradients or textures don't cost a dime.
- I'm also going to sell comics. The prices are the same, but for every panel more than one, it's an extra $2. Scenic backgrounds are still $3 but that covers any scenery changes too. Costs a bit more than single drawings obviously, but also a better value given what's involved.

It all may seem pricey if you do the math on the higher levels of the scale, but remember there's a lot of content there, and these prices are set according to my top quality work. Which, I have to admit, doesn't come to DA often. Plus, it's all drawn and/or written to your exact specifications, so you get whatever you want out of it.

And as I'm sure you'll all be glad to hear, prices are NEGOTIABLE. If the character(s) or the style you ask for in the artwork or comics you order are fairly simplistic, labour goes down and it'll cost less. So let me know exactly what you're looking for, and you may get a few bucks off!

Keep in mind that I'm an impoverished Canadian, and the prices are in Canadian dollars. As in, they're cheap. This is the first price system I've put forward, so it is subject to change, but I have no plans to increase these rates, though I may lower them later depending on the response. I think they're pretty fair considering the content, quality, and the amount of work required for the finished product. I'm still pondering a way to put up a commish page outside my journal. Maybe a dedicated deviation page. Feedback regarding any of this is appreciate. Orders would be appreciated too. ;]

Oh yeah, and once again, if anyone happens to be looking for a versatile male voice actor for anything, uhhh... *jerks thumbs at himself* Eh? Ehh? :dance:

Okay, that's all I got, peace out.

Let's see, me, me, me...
I'm a cartoonist and currently a part-time comic author here on DA. An aspiring voice-actor, an utterly useless animator, and a superhero fanboy. I love cartoons, comics, and animation, I have an obsessive fascination with voices, and yes, I play a lot of video games too. But just for the articles, I swear.
I curse like you wouldn't believe, but I'm generally an everything-is-cool kinda guy, so feel free all y'all who enter to hang up your coat, and know me as thy comrade.
Ladies.
Oh, and I'm prone to bouts of being a complete dickwit. Just getting that out there.
Vote 10 and stay outta my garbage you perverts.

Hey Are you going to enter the Deviant Art good and evil contest, Metal and Alloy would be perfect
Meh. I'm working on a Metal-Alloy pic now, but it's nothing that would be suitable for a good-vs-evil thing. Besides, my crap ain't contest-worthy.
Annnd I don't have the time to devote to doing a contest thingy guy. :/
