I have to admit, my past habits with commissions didn't go so well, which is why I closed them in the first place: school and family life prevented me from any time to sit down and draw artwork that required references. Nowdays, I have a laptop, but as I am getting closer to my Bachelor's degree, my drawing frequency took a dive. However, since Spring of last year, I developed a means of how to draw character art fairly quickly, so I think I'm improving.

However, despite having a job now, and getting closer to securing an opportunity to get a stable career, I find myself in desperate need of money that will cost me more than a few bucks in order to get by.

Long story short, the lock in my car broke. It can only be locked from the inside, but outside, it cannot be locked or unlocked manually. I got a new car key remote, but it cannot be programmed until that lock is fixed. Until then, my poor baby is vulnerable to vandalization and theft.

That's not the worse part, oh no. My school and work are located in less-than-savory areas of Los Angeles county. Think grafitti on your bus station stands, cigarette butts in school libraries, vandalized public buildings, wrecked chain link fencs around schools, and so forth. These are areas you do -not- want to leave a 1999 BMW unlocked for hours at end, especially late night when the street lights are barely lit. And this semester, I anticipate staying on campus as late as a bedtime for the little kiddies.

What does a stolen car mean to me? That means: no school, no work, and family from all sides grilling me harder than a frozen hamburger patty in a rocket to the Sun.

The general price of a replacement car lock is $600 USD. I honestly doubt I can make that much money by the start of the new semester, but I at least have my paycheck to cover up roughly half the expenses. Unfortunately, due to mix-ups in the office, that paycheck is almost a month late now, and I have no new work since the year started (tutoring depends on schools to run before I get students to tutor).


My general goal is $300 minimum via commimssions; a full $600 would be a miracle to pull off, but I doubt I can make it. If you want commissions for character art, or at least know someone who does, please please please send them my way.



Payment is done through Paypal ONLY. I accept non-US commissions.

CAN DO:

1.) Humans/fantasy humanoids, anthros/furries, and non-anthropomorphic animals.

--1a.) I am also capable of drawing plants, but really... the commission I'm offering is for that of character art, not life drawings in general.


2.) "Otherkin", as well as other creatures like aliens, dragons, elves, centaurs, and... yes, even "nagas".

3.) Historical and fantasy as well as modern and SOME sci-fi. By "some" sci-fi, I can draw Luke Skywalker and his lightsaber in a starry background, but I cannot draw him in his X-wing nor the X-wing itself.

4.) Original characters as well as characters in pre-existing fiction (fanart).

5.) Both static and dynamic poses. Static poses are simple ones such as someone standing straight or sitting on a chair whereas dynamic poses are more complexly drawn such someone running at an angle or jumping high with glee.

6.) Action scenes, which include fighting scenes. In addition to fight scenes, I can also do other situations in which interaction is present, from conversation to hugging and even kissing.

7.) (Tastefully) Nude art for men and women.

--7a.) Erotic and even kinky art; I am not afraid to draw sensual and sexy situations such as a fully nude woman dressed in only whipped cream seducing a man or a dominatrix clad in leather and whipping someone else.

--7b.) Slash art (yaoi/yuri). Male-male and female-female is fine by me.

--7c.) Polyamorous art. I don't mind drawing a guy courting two or more women at once, or vice versa.


CAN'T DO:

1.) "Hard" Sci-fi props and machines. Mechas, robots, and super-powered laser cannons are not within my art abilities.

2.) Overly complex backgrounds. I can draw a bathroom, but not a Saw-style ultra messy one with a complex shot from the floor up.

3.) Overly detailed architecture's exteriors. I can draw characters from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, but I cannot draw Notre Dame itself. I can, though, provided with an excellent reference photo, a simplified drawing of an interior of the cathedral.

4.) Photo-realistic portraits of any kind.
