Taking a break

Wed Oct 14, 2009, 4:20 AM
Hi guys
I know I haven't been very active these last couple of months, but I have a good reason this time. My cheap-ass graphic tablet has been playing up, so my artwork has been on hold.

I don't know when I'll get a replacement. I looked on ebay for a cheap WACOM tablet, but even those aren't THAT cheap (I guess it's because WACOM is the industry standard). I may just save up for one for Christmas.

This means I won't be doing any commissions for a bit, but that doesn't mean I'm disappearing all together! I encourage my friends to keep in contact with me via the usual channels. It's because of you guys that I do what I do here on DA, so don't hesitate to drop me a note or comment, I appreciate them all.

I'll still be around faving and commenting, so don't worry. I may just drop in some drafts and other ideas on her to fill in the gaps until I can return to 100% active duty again.

Thanks again
- Roy

When I'm back in action, you will be the first to know! ~_^

Turning Japanese...again!

Mon Sep 7, 2009, 2:44 AM
Things kinda ground to a halt while I took some time out to do another beginners class in Japanese last month. Before you ask, no I'm not fluent yet! Japanese is hard, damn it! T_T I am getting better though, all those weird sqwiggles known as Hiragana and Katagana are starting to make more sense now. Perhaps in the future I can start adding Japanese words alongside the English ones in my artwork to get more Japanese fans! ^_^

Anyway, the two commissions I was working on have just been completed, so two more slots have just opened up! Please feel free to talk to me about any ideas you might have, and I'll see what I can do for you! The details are below.

Here's my commission rates:

Black & White
1 Character = $5
2 or more characters = +$2

Colour
1 Character = $8
2 or more characters = +$3

Backgrounds
Basic = +$2
Detailed = +$5

What this means is each project will be tailor made to the person's desires.

For example:

2 Characters Colour = $8+3 = $11
Basic background = +$2 = $13

Total = $13

As for content, your best bet to figuring out what I can do is to look at my gallery and see the kinds of things I'm into. A good rule of thumb is, the more unusual the idea, the more interested I'll be!

I will give all requests consideration and let you know whether I can do it or not.

To contact me, either send me a note or email me at raijinzz@gmail.com


Oh! I forgot to mention that I'm only accepting payment via Paypal at the moment.

And lastly, I'm gonna be running a 3 slot system. It's first come first served, so if my journal post shows all my slots are full, you may have to wait a while. Please be patient! I'm still new at this! =3

New Commissions!

Yeah, I know. I must be the suckiest illustrator ever, because I'm so damn slow! >_<,
The good news is all my current commissions are finished, so I'm open to new commissions! The details are below.

Here's my commission rates:

Black & White
1 Character = $5
2 or more characters = +$2

I'm still in the middle of a couple of commissions right now, but I'm finding it hard to motivate myself.

Think about it. You've spent a lot of time on one piece of artwork to make it look the absolute best that you can, and you reach new levels of quality. Everyone that you've shown it to totally loves it and says it's your best work to date!

The only problem is, now you're expected to consistently produce each subsequent piece if art at that level! Sufficed to say, it's a bit off-putting!

I haven't given up, I just need a bit more time to recover from creative fatigue. The art will keep coming, so please be patient!

Commissions

Thu May 21, 2009, 10:51 PM
Righty oh! It took a VERY long time, but I've finally come up with what I hope is a reasonable price list that covers most, if not all of the conceivable requests I might get. As I mentioned before, there is room for negotiation because I'm still relatively new at this. Here's the list:

Black & White
1 Character = $5
2 or more characters = +$2

Colour
1 Character = $8
2 or more characters = +$3

Backgrounds
Basic = +$2
Detailed = +$5

Per day service
1 day = +$3
Every extra day = +$2

What this means is each project will be tailor made to the person's desires. For example:

2 Characters Colour = $8+3 = $11
Basic background = +$2 = $13
Per day service 1 day = +$3 = $16

Total = $16

I don't plan to charge for more than one day unless the commission takes a REALLY long time, because I won't be spending the whole day on one (toilet breaks, lunch breaks, etc).

As for content, your best bet to figuring out what I can do is to look at my gallery and see the kinds of things I'm into. A good rule of thumb is, the more unusual the idea, the more interested I'll be!

I will give all requests consideration and let you know whether I can do it or not!
