1. Charbs ~featheredfaerie - Clothing Line-up / paid - inked, colouring
2. Open
3. Open

Traditional: I do these in Col-erase, either Indigo Blue, black or Tuscan Red, your choice, or graphite pencil.
These have their own quality but are not always as cleanly detailed as cleaned up digital but often have a more lively quality to them.

Bust: $5-10
Bust with rendering: $10-15
Waist-up: $10-15
Waist-up with rendering: 15-20
Full Body: $15
Full body with rendering: $20 and depending on detail
These are of single characters, with additional characters prices will vary.


Digital: I ink these in Photoshop CS2, at a fairly high dpi (usually 300dpi) with a fairly small brush, varying in size depending on need for Line Quality. As I am in most cases a traditional artist by nature, I do a rough Col-erase drawing first as an initial sketch before I bring it into Photoshop for the rest. So really this is almost twice as much work for me.
Despite the initial sketch not being as finished as the Traditional commissions, if you like it enough they too will be available for purchase in addition to your Digital commission. Price will vary by completeness.

Hey all,

If you're thinking maybe you're interested give me a shout and let me know! I'd LOVE to hear it, and I kind of need the money >.>. Le sigh.

Prices are negotiable, but these are guidelines

What I’ve decided to offer:

Translations:
Line Art - Inked

Base Colours - Flat solid colours

Simple Shaded Colours - Nothing too elaborate but nice smoother shading or cel-shading consisting of one or two tones in addition to the base colours, with a general or definite light source.

Full Shaded Colours - These puppies are the next step up and are pretty much the height of what I do. They take me a large chunk of time and because of it I may only accept a limited amount of them. They’re combination soft and hard edged shading (generally still mostly on the softer side) with a variety of tones, colours and a definite light sources.

Clothing Breakdowns - That prices represent a clothing breakdown using three bodies, if you’d like more then pricing will vary. Swatches are optional. These are digitally inked and coloured after the initial Col-erase sketch.

Posing Sheet - One neutral front view, 3 poses. Poses can be left to my decision or to actions you fancy. These are done traditionally in Col-erase and/or graphite.

Expression Sheet - One neutral front view, 4 expressions, in form of bust shots. Expressions can be any emotions of choice, of course interpretations are wide so be descriptive and specific. These are done traditionally in Col-erase and/or graphite.

Pose and Expression Sheet - One pose, 4/5 expressions, or 2 poses, 2/3 expressions. These are done traditionally in Col-erase and/or graphite.

Anything that’s traditional and you wish to be digital, or vice versa, we can discuss but it will change the pricing, no doubt.

I am not great with backgrounds but I will consider doing them. They of course will be extra, prices depending on their complexity of course.

IMPORTANT: All these prices are just estimates, they may change either way. I will not however give you a personal estimate and then change that drastically, nor will I change it period without a severely good reason. The prices will however depend on complexity and any customization or extras in the requests.


Things to Note

I will be using paypal, and am going to be using an all upfront policy, because of previous problems with the half at start and half at end. I will be requiring reference and specific descriptions as well as be asking questions too if needed.

- I do original characters, and fan-characters. I’ll do canon characters from most things, but realize I don’t know all of them out there ^__^;; so result may vary.
- I’m pretty flexible so negotiations on things are do-able.
- I need some sort of reference, whether it’s photographic/drawings which is preferred, or written. When it comes to writing I don’t need stories, but the important info. If you don’t give me enough, I will do the best I can but well, it might be reflected.
- Again I’m flexible and can customize things, but prices will vary accordingly.
- I’m not against nudity, but I will decide what I think is tasteful and appropriate. Of course, don’t be afraid to ask, however I won’t do explicit smut.
- These are my rules and can change accordingly. However, if there is any info missing feel free to contact me or discuss things with me that you are unsure of.

Note me or e-mail me. Nicole.ngag@gmail.com or Msn me via my e-mail on DA or the AIM there.

So firstly, before the meme I wanted to get this out here. I was curious as to if anybody would honestly be interested in it if I were to offer a limited number of character busts for 7 dollars a piece. Which is roughly half the price I'd normally charge.
And they'd be more or less to this quality: [link]

So if you'd have any serious interest, let me know.

Anyway, I'm doing this journal feature meme, gotten from =temporary-glitch

This is how it goes:
The first 10 people to reply to this journal will have three of my favorite pieces from their gallery featured here. BUT, in return, you MUST make a similar journal, and feature the first 10 people that comment to it and with me being in first position! Just agree with the proposal in your comment!

1. Temporary-glitch [link] [link] [link]
2. Terru [link] [link] [link]
3. Phoo [link] [link] [link]
4. Wulfae [link] (Check out the more detailed deviations of this one on her gallery too ^_~ ) [link] [link]
5. Celty [link] [link] [link]


(So first nine people really)

Happy New Years everyone, hope 2009 is good for everyone and brings in all the best of things. Personally I'm quite glad to see 2008 go by the wayside, and have higher hopes for the New Year.

Lots of love.
-Nick
