First Commission

Not officially open yet but couldn't resist taking the requests in gaia online.

I went to ask in gaia forums the pricing range for my kind of art style --- there were several suggestions ranging from 50-100K for the head shots, 100-200K for half body, 250K and up for full body --- single character only. Other prices I got were as much as 800K and more if I offer them in color.

Unfortunately my coloring skill rates none~

I'm bad at it. I'd like to say I want to learn, and would have started learning if my ever so dysfunctional flash drive didn't go and corrupt the tutorials I spent hours selecting and collecting from DA.

Now I have to do it all over again!

I received 150K for above commission from Red Umbra. I got commissioned as soon as I asked around gaia's chatterbox. Instant reply. People seem to be more active there than in any of the forum boards.

My decision to open a commission shop at gaia still stands. Its gonna be there when I need the gold to use. The actual commission work is in RL with real money, which I'm still determined to push through as soon as possible. Already have a site put up and all just need to spread it around after this one event and my time clears up for me to be able to accept requests and get down to some serious business.

Crossing my fingers and fervently hoping----

Opening Commissions soon~

My sis and I are thinking of opening commissions sometime soon to help with things financially.

Its just a small start between 2 choices: Traditional (pencil) and Digital. Both in lineart.

Some samples we've prepared so far as we still have a few more to go:

Done with the digital samples. Will be working on the pencil sketches next. The buyer can choose between head, half body and full body for a commission.

For more details, browse through here: Yami & Mibu

Hope we make good out of it.^^
Much luck to both of us as this will be our first ever commission shop.

SAI Linework

Been feeling restless of late. Could be from the tension and the excitement this coming event on March 31.

To pass of my lethargy, I did a little something:

Based from SlackerLord's avi in Gaia online, one of her old looks.

Its an old drawing and every once in a while I like to dabble with my old drawings and do linework with them in SAI. Took about 6-7 hours, trying out the tools and what else I was curious about, and several more 'undos' than I bothered to count. XD

After this was done and saved, I noticed the textures I so painstakingly worked on for the horns disappeared. WTH! I'm too lazy to edit so I'm gonna leave it as is. And I also forgot the scales on her face and body... oh, well~

Pencil version:

Now on to finishing the remaining pages. Been really busy this month in more ways than one. I'm gonna fall flat in bed and doze off a day after all this is finally over..... and do the same routine again for the next event. XD
