Oh my God, I can't believe I haven't updated my DA journal since January. Also I can't believe it's April already.

I haven't done much art the past couple of months, mostly because school has been eating my face, but it seems I've developed slightly better time management skills so I'm hoping to have some stuff to post soon.

I attended my third Sakura Con a couple of weeks ago, and had an even better time than the previous two years. I'm going to Fanime in May as well - so excited!

Hi everyone! I've been around a bit less this past week since the spring semester started on Monday, but I think I'm beginning to get semi-used to my new schedule. I THINK. Getting up early still sucks, though! I'll always be nocturnal.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I am currently open for commissions if anyone is interested.

Prices are as follows:

Pencil, bust: $10
Pencil, full-body: $15

Inked, marker-colored bust: $25
Inked, marker-colored full-body: $40

Full-color CG bust: $25
Full-color CG full-body: $40; additional character: add $20. For backgrounds, contact me and we will discuss a price depending on the complexity of the bg. ^_^

Character sheet: Front view, back view, side view, bust & profile. Simple shading: $50; fully-rendered: $80

Originals such as pencil and marker commissions can be mailed to you, at a small additional cost for shipping. Digital works will be sent to you in their full working resolution.

As for payment, I prefer PayPal, but I will also accept personal checks and money orders. Please note, however, that in the case of personal checks I will not begin your commission until the check has cleared.

If you are interested in one of these, please send me a note or an email at nitrojenoxide@gmail.com. Just copy/paste the following and fill it out for me:

-----

Your name:
Character name(s):
Physical description:
Personality description, and/or additional information:
Type of commission: (e.g. full-color bust, pencil full-body, etc.)
Theme: Optional. Include this if you want the character doing something specific. For example, "I want a picture of Kanda Yuu scowling pissily with one hand on the sword hilt at his very appealing hip."

-----

And of course, if you have any questions, feel free to note me or comment here. ^_^

I think this winter break is going by way too fast! It seems like I only just got finished with finals, and now Christmas is already over. I'll be especially sad once New Year's comes and goes, because that will mean it's January and...almost time for the spring semester. :<

I hope I can do a better job of managing my time this year than the last, so I can practice more and finish more art. Looking back over the past twelve months, I'm ashamed of how little I drew! So this year, one of my resolutions is to be more prolific.

I should probably update this journal more often, too, but I can rarely think of anything to say. I tend to update my livejournal with more regularity, though: [link]

How was everyone's holiday?

Just an update to people who have commissioned me: I'm almost done with all of the ones in this batch (I am working on the last one, which should be finished within a few days) so I'm going to go ahead and open up some more slots in case people are interested. These slots are for busts - they will be fully cg'd in photoshop and painter and are $45 each. Examples: [link] [link]

I'm also doing sketches for $30 each. I call them 'sketches,' but they're rather cleaned up - in the style of this, [link] only full-body. These will be done on 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock and mailed out to you.

Also, I'll be going to KumoriCon ([link]) so from August 31 to September 4, I'll be somewhat unreachable. :]

Hmm. In other news, life has been...ah....'interesting' lately. Things have been going pretty well on my end; I just moved into a new apartment, and school starts tomorrow. I'm starting on my last couple of semesters before graduation, so I suppose I'm on the final stretch. Family problems....have not been so fun. That damned drama constitutes like 99% of my stresses and worries...honestly. You think you can just pull yourself away from the source in order to remove the drama from your life, but that's nearly impossible with family. x_x

xoxo

Wow...it's been a hell of a long time since I updated my journal, huh? Anyway~

I just wanted to point out that I'm offering a full-body, fully CG'd commission for $35. ^_^ Please drop me a note if you're interested. Slot is filled for now, but will re-open again when this one's finished, if anyone happens to still want one.
