Alrighty!! So just to let every single one of my awesome watchers know (especially the active ones)--I'm anticipating this coming-soon Spring semester to be bringing me a very tight schedule. I have signed up for 5 classes, and thus have 0 week-days off of classes next semester. This means that by the end of this year I will tidy up my dA page rigorously and will check in from time-to-time for dA notes, but that is about it. This might be very good for me; getting away from such a thorough addiction such as deviantArt. I think it is also going be quite difficult for me to stay away from.

Anyway, between now (November 18th, 2009) and December 31, 2009, I will still be checking in rather regularly, particularly to post my holiday gift-art pieces. ((Next kiriban will be 17,601. )) And January 2010 might see me on dA a little bit, but once (late) February rolls around, the best way to contact me will be by instant-messenger and e-mail. Let me know if you don't have my screen-name or e-mail (if you'd like it, that is).

My February 2010 Through Mid-May 2010 Art Status:


Art-Trades: 95% CLOSED.
Art-Requests: 100% CLOSED.
Gift-Art: Friends-only this academic semester. (sorry)
Commissions: Are welcome. That is, if anyone likes my art enough. My art is improving with every new batch of uploads that I make. Though quite probably my photos are more likely worth buying right now (than my drawings). I'd start out only charging S&H(unless you live close enough where I can just give it to you). (I don't have Paypal, by the way.)





Please be aware that during any school semester between now and -next- Fall, there's a high chance I won't be able to draw creatures I've adopted from you, so I hope you have patience with me and don't give away the ones you gave me.


Hope all of you are in good health and spirits.



P.s. I will NOT post my e-mail or screen-name here, so if you would like either, please send me a dA note!! Thanks

P.p.s. there MIGHT be exceptions to the gift-art temporary rule. for example a select few dA people who I feel close to.

P.p.p.s.
If I owe you an ART-TRADE please COMMENT here. And please remember to check that entry regularly if you want to know what progress I've made.




====================THE TEXT BELOW IS NOT RELEVANT YET========================
P.p.s. So, as many of you (at least of my watchers) know, I'm far into the tunnel of college and am currently unemployed. After a lot of contemplation (and rejecting myself several times over this idea due to how I view my own art)--finally, largely thanks to the support and encouragement of , I'm offering commissions!!

Now here's hoping my art has some fans and friends who are willing to pay a little bit to own a piece.
Here are my other dA statuses right now: [link]

Please keep in mind that I don't have and don't know how to use Paypal, and don't have an Etsy store. I also do not have Photoshop or a Wacom tablet. BUT if you want something colored in Photoshop and don't mind me doing a collab with in order to do that, just ASK. Since I'm new to this, prices are subject to change as I get the hang of what can be offered for what. If anyone wants a print of something I've already drawn then you need to speak up, and please also tell me how prints work on dA. I'm still learning a lot when it comes to drawing people (or horses or wolves or robots) so your patience is very appreciated.

My rules:
*Please don't ask me for anything with below-the-waist nudity (especially pornographic).
*Please don't ask me for anything with "furries".
*Please don't ask me for anything with "nagas".
*No racist things.
*No suicidal things.


And that's all the rules for the time-being. Depending on circumstances I might make an exception but a) it's doubtful and b) ask.


OKAY HERE GOES:

Sketch: $1
Line-art (no color, no background): $2.00
Line-art with background: $3.50
Colored line-art: $4
Colored line-art with background: $5
A collab with Gildustheharbringer (a piece that includes Photoshop coloring): $7

Right now the number of characters does not affect the price of the piece. This is subject to change later, however.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO READS THIS. THIS WILL BE UPDATED PERIODICALLY, so please check back here.
