Well, I am happy to say that I am feeling MUCH better now that I've ranted, and things seem to be going good for me so far. I discovered this amazing music website that, in some points, is even better than iTunes. It's called MP3Skyline and it has some of the rarest tracks from hundreds and hundreds of artists, from all around the world. Once you join, you are free to browse and purchase what you like at 15 cents a song. Thanks to Skyline I managed to get Spinegrinder's rare album "Meat and Greed", as well as Paul Oakenfold's complete hits. For those of you who are interested, the website is here: [link]

Happy happy happy : D

In other news, I've made the final decision after a little fiasco with my credit card today that yes, I WILL be taking commissions. I just need the money and there's no way around it (I've been looking for an excuse to draw, anyway). So for those of you who are interested, read on:

There are several categories, and they will be at the following prices:

SKETCHES/SCRAPS/PENCIL ART: $3 apiece; $5 for more detailed work
EXAMPLES:


INKED LINEART: $5 apiece; +$1 for detail work
EXAMPLES:


COLORED LINEART--TRADITIONAL: $10 apiece; +$2 for each additional character (your choice of colored pencils or markers)
EXAMPLES:


COLORED LINEART--DIGITAL--FLAT COLOR: $8 apiece; +$2 for each additional character
EXAMPLES:


COLORED LINEART--DIGITAL--SHADING AND BACKGROUND: $10 apiece; +$2 for each additional character
EXAMPLES:

(If you want shading but no background, just tell me; I'll only charge $8 without the background)

REFERENCE SHEETS: Single pose, $5, various poses, $7
If you want multiple characters in the same pic, remember to ask me.
EXAMPLES:


ANIMATIONS: Simple, $7 apiece, complicated, $13 apiece
(The reason these are pricier than most is because I do the animation hand-drawn frame by frame, so they take a lot of work and patience)
EXAMPLE:


NOTES:
1. I currently accept PayPal only. Please send all payments to my account at hopperjamesp@msn.com.
2. If you choose to withhold your payment until I am finished, that is fine. You may also tell me whether or not you would like it posted in my Gallery/Scraps or in yours. All pictures will be posted on my Photobucket account and linked to you via note, just in case.
3. I normally save all the lineart I scan. However, if you want it in your possession, give me your address via note (everything will be kept entirely confidential) and I will mail it out. For digital requests, you may either have a Bristol print of the picture or the original lineart.
4. I will NOT, and I can't stress this enough, draw the following:
*Fetish portraits (this includes inflation/fattening, diapers, dickgirls, etc. for humorous situations, though, I may consider it depending on the specifications)
*Hardcore porn (erotic art is okay, though; I probably won't post it here however and it will be sent via email instead)
*Pairings/shippings I don't like (please refer to my "Couples" link for information)
*Fandoms I'm not familiar with (will post a list in my shoutbox later)
*Hate-art of any kind. Period.


Anyway, I hope that was informative enough...phew. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, and if you want to commission me, please do it via note. It's cleaner that way.

Hope to hear from you soon!
